Suppose 57 in a sample of 150 police agencies employ tasers. Identify each of the following: p, p̂, x, and n
Here x denotes the police agencies who employ tasers. Thus x = 57.
n denotes the sample size, n = 150
and is estimated value of population proportion from the sample of 150 police agencies. It is calculated as = x/n
= 57/150
= 0.38
Also p is population proportion and it is estimated as: p = = 0.38.

Question number 7: Consider the following variables. For each variable, identify its distribution as either "Exactly Normal," "Approximately Normal," or "Neither" (short for neither Exactly Normal nor Approximately Normal). Life expectancy in a country is known to follow a left-skewed distribution. Suppose we take a random sample of 7 citizens and denote the sample mean life expectancy by X̄. The distribution of X̄ is Choose... . The weights of bananas follow a Normal distribution. Suppose we take a sample of...
Suppose that a random variable X follows a binomial distribution. Find the bias of each of the following estimators. Be sure to follow your computations enough to determine whether the estimator is biased or unbiased. a. p̂ = (X+1)/(n+2) b. p̂ = X2/n2 c. p̂ = X/n

in a sample of 150 residents, each person was asked if he or she favored the concept of having! 9-3 \p a single countrywide police agency. The residence (city or outside the city) and the responses 4 of the residents are summarized in the following table. Oppose (A) 40 Favor (F) Residence City 80 10 20 Outside of City (OC) If one of these residents was to be selected at random, what is the probability that the person will (a)...
Suppose a simple random sample of size 150 is obtained from a population whose size is N 30,000 and whose population proportion with a specified characteristic is p0.8. (a) Describe the sampling distribution of p. Choose the phrase that best describes the shape of the sampling distribution below. O A. Not normal because ns0.05N and p(1-P) 10. OB. Approximately normal because ns0.05N and p1 - p) < 10. OC. Approximately normal because ns0.05N and no 1- 10 OD. Not normal...
For each of the following problems, identify the number of outcomes in the sample space, n(S), the number of outcomes for the event you want to happen, n(A), and the probability of that event, P(A) The door prizes at a dance are four $10 gift certificates, five $20 gift certificates, and three $50 gift certificates. The prize envelopes are mixed together in a bag and five prizes are drawn at random. What is the probability that none of the prizes...
TV advertising agencies face increasing challenges in reaching audience members because viewing TV programs via digital streaming is gaining in popularity. A poll reported that 57% of 2343 American adults surveyed said they have watched digitally streamed TV programming on some type of device. (a) Calculate and interpret a confidence interval at the 99% confidence level for the proportion of all adult Americans who watched streamed programming up to that point in time. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)...
