A recent survey found that 63% of all adults over 50 wear glasses for driving. Ia random sample of 100 adults over 50 was selected., a). what is the expected value and standard deviation of the number of adults over 50 who wear glasses? b). Find the probability that more than 60 of the adults over 50 wear glasses. Hint: using normal distribution to approximate binomial distribution.

A simple random sample of 101 cities and counties in the United States was selected and the number of positive COVID-19 cases per 1000 citizens was recorded for each. The mean number of positive cases for this sample of 101 counties and cities was 253, with a standard deviation of 11.4. Due to a couple of cities with extremely high numbers of cases the distribution is skewed heavily to the right. If appropriate, use this information to calculate and interpret...

A random sample of 25 workers showed that the average workweek in the United States is down to only 35 hours, largely because of a rise in part-time workers. The variance of the sample was 18.49 hours. Assuming that the population is normally distributed, calculate a 98% confidence interval for the population standard deviation.
