The investigators administered the study questionnaire by
telephone from March 15-23. Students selected for participation
were called at their dormitory room or their home telephone number
as recorded in university records. If the student was not present
at either location but information on his/her whereabouts was
available, additional phone calls were made to contact the student.
Students not reached during spring break were interviewed on their
return to the university.

1. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a U.S. government agency, 17.3% of 8th graders in 2010 had used marijuana at some point in their lives. A school official hopes to show the percentage is lower in his district, testing H0: p = 0.173 versus Ha: p < 0.173. The health department for the district uses anonymous random sampling and finds that 10% of 80 eighth graders surveyed had used marijuana. Is the sample size condition for conducting...

The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.3% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly select freshman from the study until you find one who replies "yes." You are interested in the number of freshmen you must ask. Construct the probability distribution function (PDF). Stop at x...
