A random sample of 800 high school boys showed that 420 had done strenuous exercise during the past year. The researcher wants to test the hypotheses below for p = the proportion of all high school boys who do strenuous exercise. H0: p  0.50 Ha: p > 0.50 Report the conclusion in the context of the situation.

Question 2

The household income in a certain community is known to have a right skewed distribution with a mean of 42,000 and a standard deviation of 5,000 . Without knowing the exact distribution we cannot find the probability that a randomly selected household has a yearly income less than 41,000 . Suppose we randomly sample 80 incomes from this population, what is the (approximate) probability that the average income in the sample is less than 41,000?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
