The table below gives the probability distribution of the number days that workers at a certain company have missed work in the last month.  Data Table Number of Days Missed (x) P(x) 0 0.45 1 0.29 2 0.21 3 ? 4 0.02 Use this table to answer the following. Complete the table by finding P(3).   [answera] Is the random variable, x, discrete or continuous?  [answerb] What is the most likely number of days missed by a worker at this company? If rounding is  necessary, round to two decimal places. [answerc] What is the expected number of days missed by a worker at this company  If rounding is necessary, round to two decimal places. [answerd]  What is the standard deviation in the number of days of work missed by a worker at this company?  If rounding is necessary, round to two decimal places. [answere] Which of the following interpretations of the expected value is correct? [exp]

For the​ following, indicate whether a confidence interval for a proportion or mean should be constructed to estimate the variable of interest. Justify your response. Does caffeine intake affect resting heart rate?  A researcher asks 175 women to decrease their caffeine intake by 200 mg per day for two weeks and then records the change in their resting heart rate.  The confidence interval for a [mena] should be constructed because the variable of interest is [var] which is [quant].

A survey of 2300 randomly chosen American Adults found that 604 agreed that they had experienced insomnia in the last month.  Use this information to complete the following to find the corresponding 95% confidence interval. a. What is the point estimate of the proportion of American Adults that have experienced insomnia in the last month?  Round to three decimal places.  [answera] b. Does the sample meet the conditions to calculate the confidence interval for the proportion?           [answerb] because the sample is random, the sample is less than 5% of the population and [answerc]. c.  Use the appropriate formula to find the margin of error, rounded to three decimal places.  Remember to round off only at the end.  [answerd] d. Using the margin of error and point estimate from the above questions, find the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of American Adults who have experienced insomnia in the last month.  Round to three decimal places.  Choose the best answer.   [answere]
