Question
Suppose that Fred, a United States politician from a large western state, wants to create a new law that would require children under the age of 16 to be accompanied by an adult at all times in public places. Based on previous voting records, Fred believes that he could gain the support of 2525% of likely voters. To test his hypothesis, Fred conducts a random survey of 12001200 likely voters and asks if they would support his proposition. Let ?X denote the number of likely voters in Fred's sample that pledge their support, assuming that Fred's belief that 25%25% of likely voters would support his proposal.
Which of the following statements are true about the sampling distribution of ?X?
-The sampling distribution of ?X is approximately binomial with ?=1200n=1200 and ?=0.25p=0.25.
-The sampling distribution of ?X is exactly normal with ?=0.5μ=0.5 and ?=0.0125σ=0.0125.
-The sampling distribution of ?X is exactly binomial with ?=1200n=1200 and ?=0.25p=0.25.
-The sampling distribution of ?X is approximately normal with ?=0.5μ=0.5 and ?=0.0125σ=0.0125.
-The sampling distribution of ?X is approximately normal with ?=300μ=300 and ?=15σ=15.
-The sampling distribution of ?X is exactly normal with ?=300μ=300 and ?=15σ=15.

- 16. The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.6% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly pick twelve first-time, full-time freshmen from the survey. You are interested in the number that believes that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status.What is the standard deviation (?)?

The company’s management initially felt they had a 50-50 chance of getting the project. However, the department to which the bid was submitted subsequently requested additional information on the bid submitted by this company. Past experience indicates that for 75% of the successful bids but only for 40% of the unsuccessful bids the agency requested such additional information. Question: Given that the construction company was asked for additional information, what is the probability that it will get the project?arrow_forward8arrow_forward
