Airport security The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for airport safety. On some flights, TSA officers randomly select passengers for an extra security check before boarding. One such flight had 76 passengers -12 in first class and 64 in coach class. TSA officers selected an SRS of 10 passengers for screening. Let p^be the proportion of first-class passengers in the sample.

(a) Is the 10%condition met in this case? Justify your answer.

(b) Is the Normal condition met in this case? Justify your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. No, the 10%condition is not met in this case.

b. No, the Normal condition is not met in this case.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

Number of passengers in flight=76

First-class passengers =12in first class

Coach class passengers =64

Passengers for SRS screening=10

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

Based on the 76-person population, here the sample size of 10 is greater than 10%of the 76 -person population so the10%condition is not met.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

Number of passengers in flight=76

First-class passengers =12in first class

Coach class passengers=64

Passengers for SRS screening =10

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

Given for the population:

x=12

n=76

Based on the sample size divided by the number of successes, the population proportion is:

localid="1650014761501" p=xn=1276

Sample given:

n=10

As long as npand n(1-p)are both at least 10, the condition is met.

localid="1650014767325" np=10×1276≈1.58

localid="1650014773670" n(1−p)=10×1−1276≈8.42

Neither of them exceeds 10, so the Normal condition has not been met.

Stop smoking! A random sample of 1000people who signed a card saying they intended to quit smoking were contacted nine months later. It turned out that 210(21%)of the sampled individuals had not smoked over the past six months.

Social scientists are interested in the association between the high school graduation rate (HSGR) and the percentage of U.S. families living in poverty (POV). Data were collected from all 50states and the District of Columbia, and a regression analysis was conducted. The resulting least-squares regression line is given by POV=59.2-0.620(HSGR) with r2=0.802. Based on the information, which of the following is the best interpretation for the slope of the least-squares regression line?

(a) For each 1%increase in the graduation rate, the per cent of families living in poverty is predicted to decrease by approximately 0.896.

(b) For each 1%increase in the graduation rate, the per cent of families living in poverty is predicted to decrease by approximately 0.802.

(c) For each 1%increase in the graduation rate, the per cent of families living in poverty is predicted to decrease by approximately 0.620.

(d) For each1%increase in the percentage of families living in poverty, the graduation rate is predicted to increase by approximately 0.802.

(e) For each 1%increase in the per cent of families living in poverty, the graduation rate is predicted to decrease by approximately0.620.

For each boldface number in Exercises 5 to 8, (1) state whether it is a parameter or a statistic and (2) use appropriate notation to describe each number; for example, p = 0.65

A machine is designed to fill 16-ounce bottles of shampoo. When the machine is working properly, the mean amount poured into the bottles is 16.05ounces with a standard deviation of 0.1ounces. Assume that the machine is working properly. If four bottles are randomly selected each hour and the number of ounces in each bottle is measured, then 95%of the observations should occur in which interval?

(a) 16.05to 16.15ounces

(b) 0.30to 0.30ounces

(c) 15.95to16.15 ounces

(d) 15.90to 16.20ounces

(e) None of the above
