1. In an August 2012 Gallup survey of 1,012 randomly selected U.S. adults (age 18 and over), 53% said that they were dissatisfied with the quality of education students receive in kindergarten through grade 12. The bootstrap distribution (based on 5,000 samples) is provided. a). Would it be appropriate to use the normal distribution to construct the confidence interval in this situation? Explain briefly. b). The standard error from the bootstrap distribution is SE = 0.016. Use the normal distribution...

According to a Lawyers.com survey, only 35% of adult Americans had a will (The Wall Street Journal, December 12). Suppose a recent survey of 250 adult Americans found 100 adults with wills.a. Specify the competing hypotheses to determine whether the proportion of adult Americans who have a will differs from the proportion reported .b. Calculate the value of the test statistic and the p-value.c. At the 5% significance level, is the proportion different? Explain.
In a random sample of 1276 U.S. adults, 903 favor using mandatory testing to assess how well schools are educating students. In another random sample of 1112 U.S. adults taken 9 years ago, 799 favored using mandatory testing to assess how well schools are educating students. At α = 0.05, can you support the claim that the proportion of U.S. adults who favor mandatory testing to assess how well schools are educating students is less than it was 9 years...
Gallup recently conducted a survey about the proportion of Americans who use e-cigarettes (vape).

Research question: In the population of all American adults, how strong is the relationship between age and reaction time? Data were collected from a representative sample of 500 American adults concerning their ages (in years) and reaction times (in milliseconds). What procedure should be used to estimate the strength of this relationship in the population? CI for single mean CI for single proportion CI for difference in means CI for difference in proportions CI for correlation 2Research question: To what...
