David鈥檚 iPod has about 10,000songs. The distribution of the play times for these songs is heavily skewed to the right with a mean of 225seconds and a standard deviation of 60seconds.

a. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of xfor SRSs of size n=5from the population of songs on David鈥檚 iPod. Justify your answer.

According to government data, 22% of American children under the age of 6 live in households with incomes less than the official poverty level. A study of learning in early childhood chooses an SRS of 300 children from one state and finds that p鈭�p^=0.29.

a. Find the probability that at least 29% of the sample are from poverty-level households, assuming that 22% of all children under the age of 6 in this state live in poverty-level households.

b. Based on your answer to part (a), is there convincing evidence that the percentage of children under the age of 6 living in households with incomes less than the official poverty level in this state is greater than the national value of 22%? Explain your reasoning.
