In a poll conducted March 17-21, 2005, by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, a simple random sample of 1505 American adults were asked whether they were in favor of tighter enforcement of government rules on TV content during hours when children are most likely to be watching. Of the 1505 adults, 1129 responded yes. 1. What proportion of those surveyed were in favor of tighter enforcement of government rules on TV content during hours when children are most likely to be watching? 2. Obtain a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who are in favor of tighter enforcement of government rules on TV content during hours when children are most likely to be watching. (Round the final answer to four decimal places). P(1-P) CI = p±z 3. Interpret the confidence interval.

A random sample of registered voters from Tampa, FL were asked if they support the DREAM Act, a proposed law which would provide a path to citizenship for people brought illegally to the US as children. The survey also collected information on the political ideology of the respondents. Based on the mosaic plot shown below, do views on the DREAM Act and political ideology appear to be independent? Views on the DREAM Act and political affiliation appear to be independent or dependent? Please, explain why?

As a destination marketing director, you found that TV executives used the guideline that 25% of the viewers were watching Fox cable network, 22% watching NBC and CBS, and 19% watching ABC. The remaining 12% were watching other cable networks such as CNN and MSNBC on a weekday night. A random sample of 500 viewers in the D.C. metro area last Tuesday night showed 109 homes were tuned in to the Fox station, 125 homes tuning in to NBC affiliate, 100 homes tuning in to CBS affiliate and 81 homes tuning in to ABC affiliate. 85 homes were watching CNN and NSNBC cable stations. At the 0.05 significant level, can we conclude that the guideline is still reasonable?
Although an increasing share of Americans are reading e-books on tablets and smartphones rather than dedicated e-readers, print books continue to be much more popular than books in digital format (digital format includes both e-books and audio books). A Pew Research Center survey of 1502 adults nationwide conducted January 8-February 7, 2019, found that 1081 of those surveyed had read a book in either print or digital format in the preceding 12 months. (You may regard the 1081 adults in the survey who had read a book in the preceding 12 months as a random sample of readers.) Andrew Perrin, "One-in-five Americans now listen to audiobooks," September 25, 2019 at www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/09/25/one-in-five-americans- now-listen-to-audiobooks/. The sampling scheme was more complex than an SRS, so the computation of the number in the sample who have read in the preceding 12 months and acting as if it were an SRS is oversimplified Macmillan Learning STATE: What can you say with 95%…
Medical researchers followed 6272 Swedish men for 30 years to see if there was any association between the amount of fish in their diet and prostate cancer. (“Fatty Fish Consumption and Risk of Prostate Cancer,” Lancet, June 2001). A summary of the data is given in the table below. Fish Consumption No Prostate Cancers Prostate Cancers Never/Seldom 110 14 Small part of diet 2420 201 Moderate part of diet 2769 209 Large part of diet 507 42 A) If a patient is randomly selected, what is the probability that he/she had prostate cancer given that fish was never or seldom a part of the diet? Round your answer to three decimal places and include the leading zero. B) If a patient is randomly selected, what is the probability that s/he ate fish as a large part of their diet given that they had prostate cancer. Round your answer to two decimal places and include the leading zero.
A social scientist wanted to study the education levels of adults who live in the tristate area of southwestern Pennsylvania, the West Virginia panhandle, and southeastern Ohio. A random sample of 25 middle-aged adults from each region was selected and asked about their highest level of education. The responses are displayed in the table. The scientist would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of education differs for these regions in the population of all tristate residents. What is the appropriate inference procedure? chi-square test for goodness of fit because the data come from one random sample chi-square test for homogeneity because the data come from independent random samples chi-square test for association/independence because the data come from one random sample chi-square test for association/independence because the data come from independent random samples
In recent years, many states have enacted tougher voter identification laws requiring a government issued photo ID. Proponents claim that these laws are necessary to reduce voter fraud. Opponents claim that voter fraud is rare and that since as many as 11% of eligible voters do not have the required identification, these tougher laws will discourage millions of minorities and low-income Americans from voting. The Washington Post conducted a national poll (July 7-19, 2012) and found that 1558 out of 2064 adults supported the tougher voter ID laws. 1)Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who approve of tougher voter ID laws. Document your work in the space provided below. Document how you computed the margin of error and the confidence interval in the space provided below. Round all numbers to 4 decimal places. 2)Is it likely that three-fourths of adults approve of these new laws?
"Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand" is a frozen banana stand founded in 1953 by George Bluth. They offer multiple types of chocolate that you can have your frozen banana dipped in, and they also offer multiple different toppings for your frozen banana. One day when stand employee Michael was working, he wondered whether or not there was a relationship between what customers had their bananas dipped in (milk chocolate, white chocolate, or dark chocolate) and their choice of topping (plain, walnuts, or sprinkles). He recorded the choices of each for 90 different customers, and the resulting data can be seen in the table below. Which cell has the highest Chi Square contribution? Chocolate milk milk milk white white white dark dark dark walnuts, milk Osprinkles, white walnuts, dark O plain, dark Topping plain walnuts sprinkles plain walnuts sprinkles plain walnuts sprinkles Freq. 15 4 11 7 13 10 14 10
Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous onlne survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 152 students who answered this question, 20 responded "a desktop computer", 121 responded "a laptop computer", 6 responded "a smartphone", and 5 responded "a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
