A study reports that % of companies in Country A have three or more female board directors. Suppose you select a random sample of 100 respondents. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. 36 a. What is the probability that the sample will have between % and % of companies in Country A that have three or more female board directors? 29 40 The probability is . (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. The probability is % that the sample percentage of Country A companies having three or more female board directors will be contained within what symmetrical limits of the population percentage? 60 The probability is 60 % that the sample percentage will be contained above % and below %. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) c. The probability is % that the sample percentage of Country A companies having three or more female board directors will be contained within what symmetrical limits of the population percentage? 95 The probability is 95 % that the sample percentage will be contained above % and below %.

If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
Percentage change in price of Hardy = ______ %
Percentage change in price of Laurel = ______ %
If interest rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of these bonds be then? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Percentage change in price of Laurel = ________ %
Percentage change in price of Hardy = _______ %

A magazine provided results from a poll of 1500 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 1500 respondents, 14 % chose chocolate pie, and the margin of error was given as plus or minus 5 percentage points. Describe what is meant by the statement that "the margin of error was given as plus or minus 5 percentage points." Choose the correct answer below. A. The statement indicates that the study is only 5 % confident that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is exactly 14 %. B. The statement indicates that the interval 14 %plus or minus5 % is likely to contain the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie. C. The statement indicates that the study is 100%minus 5%equals95% confident that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is 14 %. D. The statement indicates that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is in the interval 14 %plus or minus5%

The Wheat producers of North America are expecting to match their supply to meet the change in the market demand during coming year that is expected to change. The current year market supply and supply function is assumed to be:
QD= 62.5 - 0.125P
QS= 0.5P - 100
Please predict either a rise or fall in the demand of wheat as a percentage change from the current year demand based on your observations from the website and derive a new demand function with the predicted percentage change (EITHER INCREASE OR DECREASE) in demand, (i.e. the quantity demanded will increase or decrease by THE PERCENTAGE for each level of price). (Please restrict your change in demand within ± 25%)
Please compute the following:

(1 point) A recent poll of 2300 randomly selected 18-25-year-olds revealed that 266 currently use marijuana or hashish. According to a publication, 12.5% of 18-25-year-olds were current users of marijuana or hashish in 1997. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of 18-25-year-olds who currently use marijuana or hashish has changed from the 1997 percentage of 12.5%? Use α=0.01 significance level.
test statistic z=
positive critical z score
negative critical z score
The final conclusion is
A. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude
that the percentage of 18-25-year-olds who currently use marijuana
or hashish has changed from the 1997 percentage of 12.5%.
B. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that
the percentage of 18-25-year-olds who currently use marijuana or
hashish has changed from the 1997 percentage of 12.5%.
