Let A denote the set of countries that have a shrinkage rate greater than $1.65, let B be the set of countries that have a shrinkage rate between $1.65 and $1.73, and let C be the set of countries that have a shrinkage rate less than $1.70. Find the following sets. (Let I represent India, R represent Russia, M represent Morocco, S represent South Africa, B represent Brazil, X represent Mexico, H represent Thailand, and T represent Turkey.

Gallup conducted a survey of 1,015 randomly selected U.S. adults about "Black Friday" shopping. 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.

- Gallup conducted a survey of 1,015 randomly selected U.S. adults about "Black Friday" shopping. 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 (Py – 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 = 1.6 p-value = There is evidence that the proportion of men and women who planned to shop the Friday after Thanksgiving are significantly different.arrow_forwardWhich statement about student art prefernces is unbiased?
