In a large city, the population proportion of residents favoring an increase in electricity price is P = 0.35. A random sample of n = 144. Use p to denote the sample proportion of residents favoring the increase in electricity price. 1. The mean (or expected value) of the sample proportion p is 2. The standard deviation of the sample proportion P is closest to 3. The probability that the sample proportion P is less than or equal to 0.40...

Consider this scenario: The population of a city increased steadily over a six-year span. The following ordered pairs show the population and the year over the six-year span (population, year) for specific recorded years. (3,700, 2000),    (3,900, 2001),    (4,800, 2003),    (5,950, 2006) Use linear regression to determine a function y, where the year y depends on the population x, to five decimal places of accuracy. Use your function to predict when the population will hit 12,000. (Round your answer down to the nearest...

A recent survey of 550 residents in large city indicated that 65% of the residents had health insurance. Suppose that it is indeed true that 65% of the people have health insurance. The sampling distribution for the proportion of people with health insurance is approximately normal with mean 0.65 and standard deviation 0.02. What is the probability the sample proportion will be greater than 0.68?

A mayor of a big city finds that 262 of 400 randomly selected city residents believe that the city should spend more money on public transportation. Use this information for a large-sample inference of the proportion of all city residents who believe that the city should be spending more. 1. What percentage of the sample members believe the city should be spending more on public transportation? 2. What is the standard error of the proportion? 3. What is the margin...

Consider a mid-size city of 3,000,000 people in the Cairo city . Suppose that its residents produce, on average, 6.0 kg a day of MSW. At present this waste is being hauled 180 miles away (in a southeasterly direction) where it is being used to fill in an abandoned open pit nickel mine. The mine and deposited wastes abut a shallow marine embayment. Seaweed, shellfish, crustaceans, and fish are harvested from this embayment and eaten by both the local fishermen...
