A researcher wishes to estimate the percentage of adults who support abolishing the penny. What size sample should be obtained if he wishes the estimate to be within 4 percentage points with \( 95 \% \) confidence if (a) he uses a previous estimate of \( 34 \% \) ? (b) he does not use any prior estimates? Click here to view the standard normal distribution table (page 1). Click here to view the standard normal distribution table (page 2). (a) \( n=\square \) (Round up to the nearest integer.)

If a scatter plot shows points that are closely clustered together, what can you infer about the correlation between the variables?

Identify the population, the sample, and any population parameters or sample statistics in the given scenario. In the 1960 s, a poll of 2617 homeowners in the United States resulted in a report that the average price of a house in the U.S. was \( \$ 18,500 \). Answer O Population: none given: Sample: 2617 homeowners polled: Sample Statistic: \( \$ 18,500 \) Opopulation: U.S. homeowners: Sample: none given; Population Parameter: \( \$ 18,500 \)

Four scenarios of statistical studies are given below. Decide which study uses a population parameter. Answer 1000 of the 1883 participants in last year's Ironman in Kona, Hawail were interviewed. \( 68 \% \) of those interviewed said they became interested in triathlons after first ofmpeting in marathons. 351 dog owners who were surveyed, 70 reported owning two dogs. Parkland Hospital performs 15,000 births a year. Of 1000 subjects in a study on multiple births, 38 gave birth to twins. in \( 2001.78 \% \) of children diagnosed with cancer were in remission after five years, and this number is improving.

Find the range of the following data set, Assume the data set is a sample. \[ \begin{array}{lllllllllll} & 41 & 82 & 37 & 43 & 77 & 44 & 44 & 50 & 49 & 49\end{array} \] 8

Construct a box plot from the given data. Diameters of Cans in an Assembly Line: \( 5.8,5.7,5.2,5.5,5.3,5.7,5.8,5.4,5.9,5.3 \)
