1. The reported cancer rates for men ages 65 and older is 23%. Assume this
estimate is the true population proportion of men ages 65 and older who have
been diagnosed with some form of cancer. A SRS of 25 men ages 65 and older
is taken.
A. Calculate the probability that proportion of men ages 65 and older who
have been diagnosed with some form of cancer is more than 0.30.
a) 0.2033
b) 0.7967
c) 0.2236
d) This can't be done because n is not greater than 30 and we are not told
that the variable is normally distributed.
B. Calculate the probability that proportion of men ages 65 and older who
have been diagnosed with some form of cancer is more than 0.30 but less
than 0.35.
a) 1.7203
b) 0.1269
c) -0.1269
d) This can't be done because n is not greater than 30 and we are not told
that the variable is normally distributed.
