(05.04 MC)  Two opposing opinions were shown to a random sample of 1,744 US buyers of a particular political news app. The opinions, shown in a random order to each buyer, were as follows:Opinion A: Prescription drug regulation is more important than border security.Opinion B: Border security is more important than prescription drug regulation. Buyers were to choose the opinion that most closely reflected their own. If they felt neutral on the topics, they were to choose a third option of “Neutral.”The outcomes were as follows:30% chose Opinion A, 64% chose Opinion B, and 6% chose “Neutral.”Part A: Create and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all US buyers who would have chosen Opinion A. (5 points)Part B: The number of buyers that chose Opinion A and the number of buyers that did not choose Opinion A are both greater than 10. Why must this inference condition be met? (5 points) (10 points)

(05.04 MC)  A researcher has conducted a survey using a simple random sample of 500 golf club members to create a confidence interval to estimate the proportion of golf club members favoring a 1% annual increase in dues to remodel the clubhouse. Assume that the sample proportion does not change. The researcher now decides to survey a random sample of 125 people instead of 500 golf club members. Which of the following statements best describes how the confidence interval is affected by this change? (3 points)

(05.02 LC)  The Central Limit Theorem says that when sample size n is taken from any population with mean μ and standard deviation σ when n is large, which of the following statements are true? (4 points) The distribution of the sample mean is approximately Normal. The standard deviation is equal to that of the population. The distribution of the population is exactly Normal. The distribution is biased.

(05.02 MC)  The amount people whopay for cable service varies quite a bit, but the mean monthly fee is $142 and the standard deviation is $29. The distribution is not Normal. Many people pay about $76 for basic cable and about $160 for premium service, but some pay much more. A sample survey is designed to ask a simple random sample of 1,500 cable service customers how much they pay. Let x̄ be the mean amount paid. Part A: What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample distribution of x̄? Show your work and justify your reasoning. (4 points) Part B: What is the shape of the sampling distribution of x̄? Justify your answer. (2 points) Part C: What is the probability that the average cable service paid by the sample of cable service customers will exceed $143? Show your work. (4 points) (10 points)

(06.07 MC)  The annual tuition and parent rating of 12 private schools is shown on the scatterplot. The schools are rated on a scale of 0 to 100. Part A: Describe the association shown in the scatterplot. (4 points). Part B: Give an example of a data point that affects the appropriateness of using a linear regression model to fit all the data. Explain. (4 points)Part C: Give an example of a school that is cost effective and rated highly by parents. (2 points)(10 points)
