Assume that 20% of U.S. adults subscribe to the "five-second rule." That is, they would eat a piece of food that fell onto the kitchen floor if it was picked up within five seconds.
(1) Assuming this is a binomial situation, calculate the probability that more than 325 respondents in a survey of 1500 people, would subscribe to the five-second rule.
(Round your answer to the nearest 3 decimal places, show what you typed into the calculator,and define n, p, and r.)
(2) Provide evidence that conducting a normal approximation in this scenario would be appropriate.
(3) The survey went out to 1500 people . Calculate the mean and standard deviation.
(Label the mean and standard deviation clearly. Round to 3 decimal places where necessary.)
(4) Use the normal approximation method to answer the same question asked in part calculate the probability that more than 325 respondents in a survey of 1500 people would subscribe to the five-second rule. Show your work and round your answer to the nearest 3 decimal places.
(5) Your answers to questions 1 and 4 should have been fairly similar. Explain why your work in question 2 ensures that the probabilities you calculated using both methods would be close to one another.

Health insurers are beginning to offer telemedicine services online that replace the common office visit. Wellpoint provides a video service that allows subscribers to connect with a physician online and receive prescribed treatments. Wellpoint claims that users of its LiveHealth Online service saved a significant amount of money on a typical visit. The data shown below ($), for a sample of 20 online doctor visits, are consistent with the savings per visit reported by Wellpoint.

My Notes
Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 45 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that σ = 7.20 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.(a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean blood plasma volume in male firefighters. What is the margin of error? (Use 2 decimal places.)

A health psychologist tests a new intervention to determine if it can change healthy behaviors among siblings. To conduct the this test using a matched-pairs design, the researcher gives one sibling an intervention, and the other sibling is given a control task without the intervention. The number of healthy behaviors observed in the siblings during a 5-minute observation were then recorded.

A simple random sample of 20 pages from a dictionary is obtained. The numbers of words defined on those pages are found, with the results nequals20, x overbarequals54.3 words, sequals16.6 words. Given that this dictionary has 1477 pages with defined words, the claim that there are more than 70,000 defined words is equivalent to the claim that the mean number of words per page is greater than 47.4 words. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the mean number of words per page is greater than 47.4 words. What does the result suggest about the claim that there are more than 70,000 defined words? Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Assume that the population is normally distributed.
