Answer the following questions and round your answers to 2 decimal places. 56% of violent felons in the prison system are repeat offenders. If 32 violent felons are selected at random, find the probability that A. Exactly 16 of them are repeat offenders. B. At most 20 of them are repeat offenders. C. More than 21 of them are repeat offenders. D. Between 15 and 25 (including 15 and 25) of them are repeat offenders. 0.89
Number of trials n = 32 Probability of success p = 0.56 A. To find the probability of "exactly" 16, it is "pdf": binompdf(32,0.56,16) = 0.11 B. To find the probability of "at most" 20, it is "cdf": binomcdf(32,0.56,20) = 0.82 C. Since we want the probability of "more than" 21, we use the rule of complements: 1-binomcdf(32,0.56,21) = 0.10 D. Notice the numbers "between 15 and 25" are the numbers less than or equal to 25 but not less than or equal to 14: binomcdf(32,0.56,25)-binomcdf(32,0.56,14) = 0.89
Answer the following questions and round your answers to 2 decimal places. 13% of all Americans live in poverty. If 45 Americans are randomly selected, find the probability that A.

Number of trials n = 45 Probability of success p = 0.13 A. To find the probability of "exactly" 5, it is "pdf": binompdf(45,0.13,5)=0.17 B. To find the probability of "at most" 5, it is "cdf": binomcdf(45,0.13,5) = 0.46 C. Since we want the probability of "at least" 5, we use the rule of complements: 1-binomcdf(45,0.13,4) = 0.71 D. Notice the numbers "between 3 and 6" are the numbers less than or equal to 6 but not less than or equal to 2: binomcdf(45,0.13,6)-binomcdf(45,0.13,2) = 0.58

A college administrator wants to survey 250 students that attend her college to see if students are satisfied with the course offerings. Match the strategies to their corresponding sampling techniques.
The administrator stands by the front door of the admissions department and asks the first 250 students who walk in. Convenience Sampling The administrator researches the ethnic make-up of the college and makes sure that the proportion of each ethnic group represented in the sample is the same as the corresponding proportion of that ethnic group at the college. Stratified Sampling The administrator goes into 9 classes from many subject areas and asks all the students in each of these 9 classes. Cluster Sampling The administrator gets the complete list of students at the college and surveys every 50th students on the list. Systematic Sampling The administrator gets the complete list of students at the college and then uses a computer to randomly select 250 students. She then surveys these 250 students.
