Julia enjoys jogging. She has been jogging over a period of several years, during which time her physical condition has remained constantly good. Usually she jogs 2 miles per day. During the past year Julia recorded how long it took her to run 2 miles. She has a random sample of 95 of these times. For these 95 times the mean was 15.60 minutes and the standard deviation s=1.80 minutes. Find the margin of error (round to 2 decimal places) and the 90% confidence interval for Julia’s average running time.

Colorado voted recently on legalizing recreational marijuana use. Prior to the election,
pollsters working in favor of legalization wanted to estimate the proportion of California
voters that were in favor of the proposed law. The pollsters wanted a margin of error of 0.01 and a confidence level of 95% for their estimate.

The processing time for the shipping of packages for a company, during the holidays, were recorded for 48 different orders. The mean of the 48 orders is 10.5 days and the standard deviation is 3.08 days. Raw data is given below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean package processing time is less than 12.0 days. Is the company justified in stating that package processing is completed in under 12 days?

1. In preparing to do a study on the proportion of people who use internet gambling sites, you must determine how
many people to survey. If you want to be 99% confident that the population proportion is within 3 percentage
points, how many people must you survey?
2.The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey reported that in a recent year, the mean serum cholesterol
level for U.S. adults was 202, with a standard deviation of 41 milligrams per deciliter. A simple random sample of
110 adults is choose, find the probability that the mean cholesterol level is greater than 210.
3. In a Gallup poll, 64% of the people polled answered yes to the following question: “Are you in favor of
the death penalty for a person convicted of murder?” The margin of error in the poll was 3% and the
estimate was made with 90% confidence. At least how
many people were surveyed?

Closer to the November election, better precision and smaller margins of error are desired. Assume the following margins of error are requested for surveys to be conducted during the electoral campaign. Assume a planning value of p* = 0.50 and a 90% confidence level. What is the recommended sample size for each survey? Show work

Come up with a quantitative variable (not mentioned in the text). Identify the appropriate scale of measurement. Identify whether this variable is discrete or continuous (or at least theoretically continuous). Identify all of the frequency distribution graphs that would be appropriate for this variable. Come up with a qualitative variable (not mentioned in the text). Identify the appropriate scale of measurement. Identify whether this variable is discrete or continuous (or at least theoretically continuous). Identify all of the frequency distribution graphs that would be appropriate for this variable. Come up with one example of when it would be better to use a quantitative variable. Come up with one example of when it would be better to use a qualitative variable.

Let's assume the first scatter plot shown is showing the amount of animals a person has for x and for y it is showing the amount of times per month they need to vacuum. Would this data show a positive correlation between animals owned and number of times vacuuming per month? For the second plot lets assume x is time of day and y is number of traffic accidents for that time of day. Would this plot show a negative correlation for traffic accidents relating to time of day? Would it be safe to say that both of these scenarios appear linear?

According to an article, 47% of adults have experienced a breakup at least once during the last 10 years. Of 9 randomly selected adults, find the probability that the number, X, who have experienced a breakup at least once during the last 10 years is
a. exactly five; at most five; at least five.
b. at least one; at most one.
c. between five and seven, inclusive.
d. Determine the probability distribution of the random variable X.

The data set contains the weight (grams) of 10 mice before and after the treatment. Weight of the mice before treatment before:
(200.1, 190.9, 192.7, 213, 241.4, 196.9, 172.2, 185.5, 205.2, 193.7)
Weight of the mice after treatment after:
(392.9, 393.2, 345.1, 393, 434, 427.9, 422, 383.9, 392.3, 352.2)
Is there enough evidence in the data that the treatment increases the weight population average weight by at least 150 grams?
Please answer with R programming code. Thanks!
