1. What is the birth rate for a city that has a population of 450,000 and 1500 births per year? What is the crude birth rate (CBR)?

8. For a class project, a political science student at a large university wants to estimate the percent of students who are registered voters. She surveyed 190 students and finds that 80 are registered voters. Compute a \( 98 \% \) confidence interval for the true percent of students who are registered voters and interpret the confidence interval. (Round the answers to 4 decimal places.)

Se obtuvieron los siguientes resultados para el punto de ebullición, en grados Celsius, de un compuesto de silicio: \( \mathbf{1 6 6} \), \( \mathbf{1 4 1 , 1 3 6 , 1 5 3 , 1 7 0 , 1 6 2 , 1 5 5 , 1 4 6 , 1 8 3 ,} \) \( \mathbf{1 5 7 , 1 4 8 , 1 3 2 , 1 6 0 , 1 7 5 y} \mathbf{1 5 0} \). Utilice la prueba de Kolmogorov- Smirnoff con un nivel de significancia de \( \mathbf{0 . 0 1} \) para probar la hipótesis nula de que los puntos de ebullición provienen de una población normal con una media \( \boldsymbol{\mu = 1 6 0}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) y una desviación estándar \( \boldsymbol{\sigma = 1 0 ^ { \circ }} \mathrm{C} \)

Researchers who study the process of reading in children have discovered that better readers watch fewer hours of television. If a scatterplot of the data is drawn, the points on the graph would likely run from ___ left to right. upper; lower upper; upper lower; upper lower; lower

In a hypothesis test for the Pearson correlation coefficient, the null hypothesis is rejected when \( r=0 \) \( r<\alpha \) \( p<\alpha \) \( p=0 \)

\begin{tabular}{l} In a re-analysis of published studies, Twenge and Im (2007) found that for the \\ time period 1958-2001, the need for social approval of people in the United \\ States was negatively correlated with the U.S. divorce rate during the same \\ period (the correlation coefficient was -0.38). This correlation means that _- \\ divorce rates were high when the need for social approval was high \\ the need for social approval spurred people to divorce \\ the need for social approval prevented people from seeking divorce \\ divorce rates were low when the need for social approval was high \\ \hline\end{tabular}
