Ask Your Teacher NBC News reported on May 2, 2013, that 1 in 20 children in the United States have a food allergy of some sort. Consider selecting a random sample of 15 children and let X be the number in the sample who have a food allergy. Then X ~ Bin(15, 0.05). (Round your probabilities to three decimal places.) (a) Determine both P(X ≤ 2) and P(X < 2). P(X ≤ 2) = P(X < 2) = (b) Determine...

In a survey on supernatural experiences, 724 of 4003 adult Americans surveyed reported that they had seen or been with a ghost. (a) What assumption must be made in order for it to be appropriate to use the formula of this section to construct a confidence interval to estimate the proportion of all adult Americans who have seen or been with a ghost? We need to assume that there are only 724 adult Americans.We need to assume that the 4003...

A telephone poll of 1000 adult Americans was reported in an issue of a magazine. One of the questions asked was "[How much are] you worried about the quality of education in our schools?" Suppose 64% responded "a lot". We are interested in the population proportion of adult Americans who are worried a lot about the quality of education in our schools. Which distribution should you use for this problem? (Round your answers to three decimal places.) P' ~ N...
