- The students in a class get to decide on the color of the classroom. The two choices are blue and yellow. Polling shows yellow is preferred by a small majority, 53% for yellow to 47% for blue. However, before the vote is held, a new color choice is added: red. Not a lot of people like red, but there are some yellow supporters who would actually vote for red. The results of the vote are below. Blue Yellow Red 46% 44% 10% What statement below is correct about adding a third choice to the plurality vote? O a Ob Oc d Red did not win the vote, but it draws enough support away from yellow to make blue the winner, even though a majority of students preferred yellow over blue when there were two choices. Red did not win the vote, but it had no effect on drawing enough support away from yellow to make blue the winner, even though a majority of students preferred yellow over blue when there were two choices. Red did not win the vote, so because of this, yellow should win the vote over blue.…arrow_forwardSuppose 59 percent of the customers at Pizza Palooza order a square pizza, 73 percent order a soft drink, and 40 percent order both a square pizza and a soft drink.

- The owner of a popular coffee shop wants to determine if there is a difference between the proportion of customers who use their own cups when they purchase a coffee beverage, and the proportion of customers who use their own cups when they purchase an espresso beverage. Customers using their own cups get a 5% discount, which is displayed on the receipt. The owner randomly selects 50 receipts from all coffee purchases and 50 receipts from all espresso purchases. For coffee purchases, 24 receipts showed that the customer used their own cup. For espresso purchases, 18 receipts showed that the customer used their own cup. Assuming the conditions for inference have been met, what is the 99% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of customers who use their own cups? Find the z-table here.

- In an organization, X has been assigned to collect all the accounting departments files from the file room. When he went to take the files, he saw that there is no department name on the files. Instead, the files were labelled as Government, International and Private Client. However, there are three departments (accounting, marketing and management) in that room. From the files, 30% from the accounting department and 50% from management. Now, he also knows that 34% accounting files, 16% marketing files and 25% management files are governmental. a. Therefore, he picks a governmental file, what is the probability that it belongs to the accounting department? b. Therefore, he picks a governmental file, what is the probability that it belongs to marketing department.arrow_forwardTwo candidates are running for school president. The two choices are Emilio and Jose. The school's newspaper has been doing some polling. Polling shows Emilio is preferred by a small majority, 52% for Emilio to 48% for Jose. However, before the vote is held, a new candidate has decided to run: Paul. Not a lot of people like Paul, but there are some Emilio supporters who would actually vote for Paul. The results of the vote are below. Jose 48% Emilio 45% Paul 7% What statement below is correct about adding a third candidate to the plurality vote? Paul did not win the vote, but it has no effect on drawing enough support away from Emilio to make Jose the winner, even though a majority of students preferred Emilio over Jose when there were two candidates. Paul did not with the vote, but he draws enough support away from Emilio to make Jose the winner, even though a majority of students preferred Emilio over Jose when there were two candidates. Paul did not win the vote, so because of this,…arrow_forwardA researcher surveys 200 randomly selected college students to determine the number of education majors and mathematics majors. 16% of the students surveyed are education majors and 6% of the students surveyed are mathematics majors. 2% of the students are both education majors and mathematics majors.
