The Statistical Abstract of the United States published by the U.S. Census Bureau reports that the average annual consumption of fresh fruit per person is 99.9 pounds. The standard deviation of fresh fruit consumption is about 30 pounds. Suppose a researcher took a random sample of 38 people and had them keep a record of the fresh fruit they ate for one year.
(Round all z values to 2 decimal places. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)
a. What is the probability that the sample average would be less than 90 pounds?
p =
b. What is the probability that the sample average would be between 98 and 105 pounds?
p =
c. What is the probability that the sample average would be less than 112 pounds?
p =

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 11% of children in the
United States lived with at least one grandparent in 2009 (USA
TODAY, June 30, 2011). Suppose that in a recent sample of 1570
children, 224 were found to be living with at least one
grandparent. At a 5% significance level, can you conclude that the
proportion of all children in the United States who currently live
with at least one grandparent is higher than 11%? Use both the
p-value...

According to the US Census Bureau, the Gini Coefficient in the
United States was 0.397 in 1967, and 0.480 in 2014. The Gini
coefficient is a measure of inequality that ranges from 0 to 1,
where higher numbers indicate greater inequality. According to the
World Bank, countries with Gini coefficients between 0.5 and 0.7
are characterized as highly unequal. Using the
idea that Incentives Matter, analyze BOTH the pros of some
income inequality and the cons of excessive income inequality....
