Suppose that the population proportion of Internet users who say
that they use Twitter or another service to post updates about
themselves or to see updates about others is 19%. Think about
selecting random samples from a population in which 19% are Twitter
users.
Using the notation T for a Twitter user
Tc and for a non-Twitter user, if you select
three people the sample space is {TTT,
TTTc, TTcT,
TcTT,
TTcTc,
TcTTc,
TcTcT,
TcTcTc}.
Find the following
probabilities:
P(TTT)...

1a.)Based on data from a survey of 1,700 randomly selected
Facebook users, a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all
Facebook users who say it is OK for someone to "friend" his or her
boss is
(0.42, 0.48).
What is the meaning of the confidence level of 95% that is
associated with this interval?
Of all possible random samples, 5% would result in an interval
that includes the actual value of the population proportion
. Of all possible random...

According to a recent poll, 64% of adults who use the Internet
have paid to download music. In a random sample of size 1175,
adults who use the Internet, let [^(p)] represent the
sample proportion who have paid to download music.

Gallup recently conducted a survey about the proportion of
Americans who use e-cigarettes (vape). The following example is
based on hypothetical data that is meant to be similar to the data
collected by Gallup.
The following table considers survey data about annual household
income and whether or not a person vapes.

A.) Is the national crime rate really going down? Some
sociologists say yes! They say that the reason for the decline in
crime rates in the 1980s and 1990s is demographics. It seems that
the population is aging, and older people commit fewer crimes.
According to the FBI and the Justice Department, 70% of all arrests
are of males aged 15 to 34 years. Suppose you are a sociologist in
Rock Springs, Wyoming, and a random sample of police files...
