It is known that the proportion of female students at a certain university is 0.54 or 54%.
Use the normal approximation to calculate the probability that in a random sample of 900 students
the observed proportion p̂ is within 0.018 of the true proportion, i.e. calculate
P( | p̂ - p | < 0.018 )
four decimal places

It is known that IQ of students at a certain elementary school is normally distributed with mean μ = 100 and standard deviation σ = 16. Calculate the probability that in a random sample of n = 4 students the observed sample mean is within 10 units of the true population mean. Answer to four decimal places.

Suppose a researcher believes that the average height of female
students in a large local high school is 140 cm. The researcher
wants to construct an interval that contains the true average
height of all female students in the local high school with a
certain prespecified probability. The researcher selects 36 female
students at random from the high school. The distribution of
heights is known to follow a normal distribution.

In a sample of 173 students at an Australian university that introduced the use of plagiarism-detection software in a number of courses, 52 students indicated a belief that such software unfairly targets students. Does this suggest that a majority of students at the university do not share this belief? Test appropriate hypotheses at level 0.05. (Let p be the proportion of students at this university who do not share this belief.) State the appropriate hypotheses. Calculate the test statistic and...
