Newspaper reports tell us that the average American is overweight. Many of us have tried to lose weight when we finished high school or college. And indeed, only 19% of adults say that they do not suffer from weight loss problems. Assume that the 19% figure is correct and that a random sample of n = 100 adults is selected
1. Does the distribution of p^, that is, the sample proportion of adults who are not overweight, have an approximate normal distribution? If so, what is its mean and standard deviation?
2. What is the probability that the sample proportion ˆp exceeds 0.25?
3. What is the probability that ˆp is within the interval 0.25 to 0.30?
4.What could be concluded about p if the sample proportion exceeds 0.40?
(Hint: find the probability that the sample proportion exceeds 0.04).

3. An IAB study on the state of original digital video showed that original digital video is becoming increasingly popular. Original digital video is defined as professionally produced video intended only for ad-supported online distribution and viewing. According to IAB data, 30% of American adults 18 or older watch original digital videos each month. a. Suppose that you take a sample of 100 US adults. If the population proportion of US adults who watch original digital videos is 0.30, what...

The following 5 questions are based on this information. Census indicates that the proportion of adult men in the United States is 49% (p=0.49). We plan to take a random sample of 300 U.S. adults. 1) The sampling distribution of p-bar is Select one: a. normal because np≥5 and n(1−p)≥5 b. normal because np≤5 and n(1−p)≤5 c. not normal because the sample size is too small d. not normal because np≤5 2) The standard error (SE) of p-bar is Select one: a. 0.001...

A recent survey of 1500 residents in a city indicated that around 40% of the residents owned a home. Suppose that it is indeed true that 40% of the residents own a home. The sampling distribution for the proportion of home ownership is approximately normal with mean 0.40 and standard deviation 0.025. What is the probability the sample proportion of people who own a home will be less than 0.37?
