Chapter 11.3, Problem 57E
A Harris Poll press release dated November 1, 2016, summarized results of a survey of 2463 adults and 510 teens age 13 to 17 (“American Teens No Longer More Likely than Adults to Believe in God, Miracles, Heaven, Jesus, Angels, or the Devil,” theharrispoll.com, retrieved December 12, 2016). It was reported that 19% of the teens surveyed and 26% of the adults surveyed indicated that they believe in reincarnation. The samples were selected to be representative of American adults and teens. Use the data from this survey to estimate the difference in the proportion of adults who believe in reincarnation and the proportion of teens who believe in reincarnation. Be sure to interpret your interval in context.

If you use the Internet, have you ever paid to access or download music? This was one of the questions of interest in a recent Pew Internet & American Life Project Survey (October 2010). Telephone interviews were conducted on a representative sample of 1,003 adults living in the United States. For this sample, 248 adults stated that they do not use the Internet, 249 revealed that they use the Internet but have never paid to download music, and the remainder (506 adults) stated that they use the Internet and have paid to download music. The results are summarized in the MINITAB pie chart shown.
According to the pie chart, what proportion of the sample use the Internet and pay to download music? Verify the accuracy of this proportion using the survey results.
Now consider only the 755 adults in the sample that use the Internet. Create a graph that compares the proportion of these adults that pay to download music with the proportion that do not pay.
In a survey on supernatural experiences, 722 of 4001 adult Americans surveyed reported that they had seen or been with a ghost.
A survey reported that 77% of registered voters in California approved of allowing two people of the same
gender to marry and have regular marriage laws apply to them. Among 18 to 39-year-old registered voters
in California, 92% approved of gay marriage. 34% of Californian registered voters are between the ages of
18 and 39.
Out of the voters who approved of gay marriage, what is the percentage that are between the ages of 18-
39?

Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) Are the events "have a Bachelor's Degree" and "never married" independent? Explain. The probability of the event "have a Bachelor's Degree" is affected by the occurrence of the event "never married", and the probability of the event "never married" is affected by the occurrence of the event "have a Bachelor's Degree", so the events are not independent.

- The Russel Reynold Association surveyed retired senior executives who had returned to work. They found that after returning to work, 38% were employed by another organization, 32% were self-employed, 23% were either freelancing or consulting, and 7% had formed their own companies. To see if these percentages are consistent with those of Allegheny County residents, a local researcher surveyed 300 retired executives who had returned to work and found that 122 were working for another company, 85 were self-employed, 76 were either freelancing or consulting, and 17 had formed their own companies. State the null and alternative hypothesis and identify the claim, at α=0.10 to test the claim that the percentages are the same for those people in Allegheny Country.arrow_forwardThe results of a nationwide Gallup poll revealed that 59.3% of people polled were in favor of the death penalty.

They asked the following question: "As you know, the Friday after Thanksgiving is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Looking ahead, do you personally plan on shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving, or not?" Of the 515 men who responded, 16% said "Yes." Of the 500 women who responded, 20% said "Yes." The standard error of the differences in proportions (PM - Pw) is about SE = 0.025. Use the normal distribution to test, at the 5% level, if the proportions of men and women who planned to shop on the Friday after Thanksgiving are significantly different. The sample size is large enough to use the normal distribution. Z= i p-value = i There is ✓evidence that the proportion of men and women who planned to shop the Friday after Thanksgiving are significantly different.arrow_forward

One survey item concerned the phrase "see a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck." The poll found that just one-forth of adults (25%) believe finding and picking up a penny is good luck. Consider random sample of 15 adults and let x represent the number who believe finding and picking up a penny is good luck. Complete parts a though f below. O D. A success is an adult who believes finding and picking up a penny is bad luck. b. Explain why x is (approximately) a binomial random variable. CA.
