Students have asked these similar questions
in an election, everyone votes for either candidate A or Candidate B. after 60% of the votes are counted, candidate A is leading 60% to 40%. That means that B must get what percentage of the remaining votes to have the same number of votes as A.
A city with 8000 registered voters has 4 candidates running for the city Mayor.Last week, 650 voters were randomly chosen and asked if they would vote for Peter Griffin (one of the candidates), and 35 % responded they would.On the election day, 34 % of the registered voters actually voted for Peter Griffin.
Which option?
A . 4
B. 34 %
C. 8000
D. 650
E. 35 %
F. Unknown
The proportion of commuters on PSU – Berks campus is purported to be 65%. A professor believes this to be inaccurate. He randomly selects 300 students on campus and determines 200 of them to be commuters. Can the professor reject the campus claim of 65%?

For airline #1, flights are late into D.C. 25% of the time and late into L.A. 20% of the time. For airline #2, these percentages are 30% and 15%, whereas for airline #3 the percentages are 30% and 20%. If we learn that on a particular trip she arrived late at exactly one of the two destinations, what are the posterior probabilities of having flown on airlines #1, #2, and #3? Assume that the chance of a late arrival in L.A. is unaffected by what happens on the flight to D.C. [Hint: From the tip of each first-generation branch on a tree diagram, draw three second-generation branches labeled, respectively, O late, 1 late, and 2 late.] (Round your answers to four decimal places.) airline #1 airline #2 airline #3arrow_forward
