Two students attending an exam. Let Si be the event of student i passes an exam. S1 and S2 may or may not be independent of each other. Let random variable X be total number of students who pass the exam. P(S1) = P(S2) = 2/3. X = 0, 1, 2.
1) E(X)
2) What is the min and max of var(X)

Manual Transmission Automobiles In a recent year,
6%
of cars sold had a manual transmission. A random sample of college students who owned cars revealed the following: out of
126
cars,
28
had manual transmissions. Estimate the proportion of college students who drive cars with manual transmissions with
90%
confidence. Round intermediate and final answers to at least three decimal places.

Many elementary school students in a school district currently have ear infections. A random sample of children in two different schools found that 21 of 42 at one school and 15 of 35 at the other had this infection. Conduct a test to answer if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists between the proportion of students who have ear infections at one school and the other. Find the test statistic.
