Is this valid? Determine whether each of the following simulation designs is valid. Justify your answer.
(a) According to a recent poll, of American adults regularly recycle. To simulate choosing a random sample of U.S. adults and seeing how many
of them recycle, roll a -sided die times. A result of , or means the person recycles; a means that the person doesn鈥檛 recycle.
(b) An archer hits the center of the target with of her shots. To simulate having her shoot times, use a coin. Flip the coin once for each of the 10
shots. If it lands heads, then she hits the center of the target. If the coin lands tails, she doesn鈥檛.
Government data show that of adults are full-time college students and that of adults are age or older. Since can we conclude that about of adults are college students or older? Why or why not?
Color-blind men Refer to Exercise . Suppose we randomly select U.S. adult males. What鈥檚 the probability that at least one of them is red-green

The students in Mr. Tabor鈥檚 AP Statistics class completed a brief survey. One of the questions asked whether each student was right- or left-handed. The two-way table summarizes the class data. Choose a student from the class at random. The events of interest are 鈥渇emale鈥 and 鈥渞ight-handed.鈥

At the gym Suppose that of adults belong to health clubs, and of these health club members go to the club at least twice a week. What percent of all adults go to a health club at least twice a week? Write the information given in terms of probabilities, and use the general multiplication rule.
