Question
In a study of police gunfire reports during a recent year, it was found that among 540 shots fired by New York City police, 210 hit their targets; among 283 shots fired by Los Angeles police, 80 hit their targets. We want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that New York police have a higher hit rate than the Los Angeles police. Let New York police be represented by p1.
Determine the p-value and if this is a right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed test.

She invited student volunteers to perform an online memory task. The students saw a list of 60 words and were then asked to recognize a list of 10 words that were on the original list. Students were also asked to provide their GPAs. Consider the following data set, which was collected from student volunteers in 2009. The table gives the frequency for five intervals of scores on the number of correctly identified words. Use the dropdown menus to complete the table by filling in the missing values for the proportions and percentages.
