Question
![There are declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys and this brings
concerns to pollsters. A pollster contacts 92 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 78 of
them respond and 14 refuse to respond. When 276 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted,
259 respond and 17 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 368 people is randomly selected. Find
the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond.
Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy. You need not enter the "%"
symbol.

Assume that those four outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls from two births. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion an unbiased estimator of a population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is the probability of having a girl is , and this is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. 2 Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion.
