It is estimated
30
% of all adults in United States invest in stocks and that
84
% of U.S. adults have investments in fixed income instruments (savings accounts, bonds, etc.). It is also estimated that
26
% of U.S. adults have investments in both stocks and fixed income instruments.
(a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen U.S. adult invests in stocks, given that s/he invests in fixed income instruments? Round your answer to
2
decimal places.
(b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen stock investor also invests in fixed income instruments? Round your answer to
2
decimal places.
p(stock)=0.30
p(income instrument)=0.84
p(both)=0.26
a)P(Stocks/income)=(0.27)/(0.84)=0.3214
=0.32
b)p(income/stocks)=p(both)/p(stocks)
=0.27/0.30
=0.9

About 6% of employed adults in the United States held multiple jobs. A random sample of 69 employed adults is chosen. Use th TI-84 Plus calculator as needed. Part 1 of 5 (a) Is it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that less than 6.6% of the individuals in the sample hold multiple jobs? If so, find the probability. If not, explain why not. It is appropriate to use the normal curve, since np - 4.14...

Uninsured Patients: It is estimated that 16.8% of all adults in the U.S. are uninsured. You take a random sample of 240 adults seen by a certain clinic and find that 47 (about 20% of them) are uninsured. (a) Assume the 16.8% value is accurate. In all random samples of 240 U.S. adults, what is the mean and standard deviation for the number of those who are uninsured? Round both answers to 1 decimal place. μ = σ = (b)...
