A sociologist takes a simple random sample of 300 from the 27,000 students enrolled at a large state university. There are 222 undergraduates and 78 graduate students in the sample. So the sample percentage of undergraduates is 222/300 x 100 =74%. The sociologist calculates the SE for the sample percentage of undergraduates, gets 2.5% as the result, and write down the following 95% confidence interval 69% to 79%. State whether or not the following statements are true or false: a. The range from 69 to 79% is an appropriate 95% confidence interval for the percentage of undergraduates in the sample.
b. The 95% is approximately right because the probability histogram for the percentage of undergraduates at the University follow the normal curve closely.
c. In the same semester a second sociologist also takes a sample random sample of 300 students from the University and uses the same procedure as the first sociologist to calculate a confidence interval. The second sociologist will arrive at exactly the same interval as the first one.

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event aâ†µect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?

Bonnie and bobby are saving money for a vacation. each friend starts with an amount and also saves a specific amount each week. bonnie created a table to show the total she has saved at the end of each week.. weeks 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 amount saved 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 bobby came up with the following equation to show the total, y, he has saved at the end of each week, x. y = 12x + 4 compare the rate at which each friend saves money. select the correct answer from the drop-down menu to complete the statement. the rate at which bobby is adding to his savings each week is $ more than the rate at which bonnie is adding to her savings each week.
