Working on summer vacation. According to a Harris Interactive (July 2013) poll of U.S. adults, about 60% work during their summer vacation. (See Exercise 3.13, p. 169.) Assume that the true proportion of all U.S. adults who work during summer vacation is p = .6. Now consider a random sample of 500 U.S. adults.
a. What is the probability that between 55% and 65% of the sampled adults work during summer vacation?
b. What is the probability that over 75% of the sampled adults work during summer vacation?
The data for a random sample of six paired observations are shown in the next table.

b. If are the means of populations 1 and 2, respectively, expressed in terms of .
| Pair | Sample from Population 1 (Observation 1) | Sample from Population 2(Observation 2) |
c. Form a confidence interval for .

Question: Deferred tax allowance study. A study was conducted to identify accounting choice variables that influence a manager鈥檚 decision to change the level of the deferred tax asset allowance at the firm (The Engineering Economist, January/February 2004). Data were collected for a sample of 329 firms that reported deferred tax assets in 2000. The dependent variable of interest (DTVA) is measured as the change in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance divided by the deferred tax asset. The independent variables used as predictors of DTVA are listed as follows:
LEVERAGE: x1= ratio of debt book value to shareholder鈥檚 equity
BONUS: x2 = 1 if firm maintains a management bonus plan,
0 if not
MVALUE: x3 = market value of common stock
BBATH: x4 = 1 if operating earnings negative and lower than last year,
0 if not
EARN: x5 = change in operating earnings divided by total assets
A first-order model was fit to the data with the following results (p-values in parentheses):
Ra2 = .280
(.070) (.228) (.157) (.678) (.001) (.869)
