Three randomly selected households are surveyed. The numbers of people in the households are 11, 33, and 88. Assume that samples of size nequals=2 are randomly selected with replacement from the population of 11, 33, and 88. Construct a probability distribution table that describes the sampling distribution of the proportion of oddodd numbers when samples of sizes nequals=2 are randomly selected. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of oddodd numbers in the population? Do the sample...

30% of the fifth grade students in a large school district read below grade level. The distribution of sample proportions of samples of 100 students from this population is normal with a mean of 0.30 and a standard deviation of 0.045. Suppose that you select a sample of 100 fifth grade students from this district and find that the proportion that reads below grade level in the sample is 0.36. What is the probability that a second sample would be...

A researcher is interested in determining if a new intensive treatment program for high school students with alcohol abuse problems is effective. In order to recruit participants for this study, flyers are mailed to all families of high school students in the Northwest Arkansas area. Ninetythree families decide to participate in the study. To test the main research hypothesis, the families are randomly assigned to one of three groups, with the restriction that an equal number of families are in...

It the? 1980s, it was generally believed that congenital abnormalities affected about 7?% of a large? nation's children. Some people believe that the increase in the number of chemicals in the environment has led to an increase in the incidence of abnormalities. A recent study examined 423 randomly selected children and found that 43 of them showed signs of an abnormality. Is this strong evidence that the risk has? increased? (We consider a? P-value of around 5?% to represent reasonable?...
