A study was conducted to learn about drinking and driving habits of male and female college students. Independent random samples of 942 female students and 754 male students were obtained. Of those sampled, 181 female and 181 male students admitted that they had driven after consuming an alcoholic beverage. Is this sufficient evidence to conclude that male college students tend to drive after drinking more frequently than female college students? Let 1 = females and 2 = males, so that the appropriate hypotheses to be tested are: H0: p1 = p2 versus Ha: p1 < p2 . Set the significance level to 0.01. The z-statistic for testing the hypotheses is z = -2.4 . What is the corresponding p-value?
 a. 0.0041
  b. 0.0164
  c. 0.0082
  d. 0.9918

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
