A college has 25000 students. To estimate the percentage of commuting students, a simple random sample of 900 students were selected for a survey. Of those surveyed, 734 students were commuting. The percentage of commuting students will be around ________, give or take______ or so. (Round both answers to the nearest percent.) Note that unlike the previous three problems, this problem uses the bootstrap method. The demographics are known ahead of time in the previous three problems. In this problem, a survey is used to estimate the demographics. (See pages 378-379.)

The price to earnings ratio (P/E) is an important tool in financial work. A random sample of 14 large U.S. banks (J. P. Morgan, Bank of America, and others) gave the following P/E ratios.† 24 16 22 14 12 13 17 22 15 19 23 13 11 18 The sample mean is x ≈ 17.1. Generally speaking, a low P/E ratio indicates a "value" or bargain stock. Suppose a recent copy of a magazine indicated that the P/E ratio of...
