Seventy-five percent of the students graduating from high school in a small Iowa farm town attend college. The towns chamber of commerce randomly selects 30 recent graduates and inquires whether or not they will attend college.
A) find the probability that at least 80% of the surveyed students will be attending college.
B) find the probability that at most 70% of the surveyed students will be attending college.
C) find the probability that between 65% and 85% of the surveyed students will be attending college.
D) why might the data gathered from this sample misestimate the proportion of students who will actually be attending college.

There is a group of 10 students consisting of 3 wearing red shirts and 7 wearing black shirts. Using combinatoric (combination and / permutation) notation, answer the following.
a) How many groups of 5 students could be formed wearing any colour shirts?
b) How many groups of 5 students could be formed where 3 students are wearing black shirts and 2 student is wearing red shirts?
c)If 5 of the 10 students are waiting in a queue to borrow a book at the library, how many ways could the queue be formed?

A researcher found that there is an increase in undergraduate students doing part- time jobs to partially support their expenses. It is assumed that 55% of UWindsor students do part time jobs in this current year. The researcher randomly selected 150 UWindsor students and checked whether they work part-time jobs. Answer the following based on this data:
Find the probability that more than 90 students of these 150 selected said that they do part-time jobs.
Find the probability that less than 80 students of these 150 selected said that they do part-time jobs.

A study of undergraduate computer science students examined changes in major after the first year. The study examined the fates of 256 students who enrolled as first-year students in the same fall semester. The students were classified according to gender and their declared major at the beginning of the second year. The students studied were enrolled at a large Midwestern university several years ago. Discuss how you would conduct a similar study at a college or university of your choice today. Include a description of all the variables that you would collect for your study.
