The probability that a randomly selected voter will answer "Yes" to a certain political question is 5/9. 720 voters are chosen at random, and each is asked the question. What is the probability that between 380 and 420 answer "Yes"? More than 360 answer "Yes"?
Answer should be, respectively: .8664, .9987

A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study 390 babies wereborn, and 312 of them were girls.
Use the sample data to construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of girls born.
Based on the result, does the method appear to be effective?

According to a study done by a university student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is 0.267. Suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe people's habits as they sneeze. (a) What is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals exactly 7 do not cover their mouth when sneezing? (b) What is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals fewer than 5 do not cover their mouth when sneezing? (c) Would you be surprised if, after observing 10 individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing? Why?

One of two small restaurants is chosen at random with equally likely probability, and then an employee is chosen at random from the chosen restaurant. Restaurant #1 has 9 full-timers and 6 part-timers. Restaurant #2 has 7 full-timers and 9 part-timers. What is the probability that Restaurant #1 was chosen at random, given that a full-time employee was chosen? Your answers should be rounded to 4 digits after the decimal.
