In a given county, records show that of the registered voters, 45% are Democrats, 35% are Republicans, and 20% are Independents. In an election, 80% of the Democrats, 40 % of the Republicans, and 80% of the Independents voted in favor of a parks and recreation bond proposal. If a registered voter chosen at random is found to have voted in favor of the bond, what is the probability that the voter is a Republican? An Independent? A Democrat?

A population of 50 registered voters contain 30 in favor of Proposition 134 and 20 opposed. An opinion survey selects a random sample of 4 voters from this population. (1) Calculate the probability that there will be no one in favor of Proposition 134 in the sample. (2) Calculate the probability that the sample contains exactly one pro 134 person. (3) Calculate the probability that there will be at least one person in favor of Proposition 134 in the sample.

1) A sample of size 25 is chosen from a population. Assume the probability distribution is normal. If the mean of the sample is 80 and the standard deviation is 6, find the lower bound of the 99% confidence interval. Round off to three decimal places. 2) A sample of size 36 is chosen from a population. The sample mean is 50 and the standard deviation is 5. Find the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval for the population...
