A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study
360360
babies were born, and
288288
of them were girls. Use the sample data to construct a
9999%
confidence interval estimate of the percentage of girls born. Based on the result, does the method appear to be effective?

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.

A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study
300
babies were born, and
255
of them were girls. Use the sample data to construct a

A statistician is betting in a game of Counting Rates and
Probability. The game uses cards, but 1/3 of the cards are red, and
2/3 of the cards are black. If the statistician gets a red card his
face will blush 30% of the time. If the statistician gets a black
card his face will blush 60% of the time. Assuming you see the
statisticians face blushing, what is the probability he just drew a
black card?

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.
e. Fewer than half of 10 individuals covering their mouth (would/would not) be surprising because the probability of observing fewer than half covering their mouth when sneezing is (need answer), which (is/is not) an unusual event.

Consider a family with 4 children. Assume the probability that one child is a boy is 0.5 and the probability that one child is a girl is also 0.5, and that the events "boy" and "girl" are independent.
(a) List the equally likely events for the gender of the 4 children, from oldest to youngest. (Let M represent a boy (male) and F represent a girl (female). Select all that apply.)

A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study, 357 babies were born, and 201 of them were girls. Use the sample data with a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that with this method, the probability of a baby being a girl is greater than 0.5. Use this information to answer the following questions.
a. List the null and alternative hypothesis.
b. P-value =
c. What is the conclusion?
d. Does the method appear to be effective?
