Round your answer to 4 decimal places. :] According to a 2009 Reader's Digest article, people throw away approximately 13% of what they buy at the grocery store. Assume this is the true proportion and you plan to randomly survey 161 grocery shoppers to investigate their behavior. What is the probability that the sample proportion exceeds 0.16? Answer = C] (Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places.) Based on historical data at Oxnard college, they believe that 42% of freshmen do not visit their advisors regularly. For this year, you would like to obtain a new sample to estimate the proportion of freshmen who do not visit their advisors regularly. You would like to be 95% confident that your estimate is within 2% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?

The company that produces these cigarettes claims that it has now reduced the amount of nicotine. In what range would you expect to find the middle 50% of amounts of nicotine in these cigarettes (assuming the mean has not changed)? If you were to draw samples of size 49 from this population, in what range would you expect to find the middle 50% of most average amounts of nicotine in the cigarettes in the sample? Enter your answers as numbers. Your answers should be accurate to 4 decimal places
