The International Air Transport Association surveys business travelers to develop quality ratings for transatlantic gateway airports. The maximum possible rating is 10. Suppose a simple random sample of 50 business travelers is selected and each traveler is asked to provide a rating for the Miami International Airport. The ratings obtained from the sample of 50 business travelers follow.

Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean rating for Miami. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Enter your answer using parentheses and a comma, in the form (n1,n2). Do not use commas in your numerical answer (i.e. use 1200 instead of 1,200, etc.)
Suppose a random sample of size 53 is selected from a population with s = 9. Find the value of the standard error of the mean in each of the following cases (use the finite population correction factor if appropriate).
a. The population size is infinite (to 2 decimals).
b. The population size is N = 50,000 (to 2 decimals).
c. The population size is N = 5000 (to 2 decimals).
d. The population size is N = 500 (to 2 decimals).
The budgeting process for a midwestern college resulted in expense forecasts for the coming year (in $ millions) of $9, $10, $11, $12, and $13. Because the actual expenses are unknown, the following respective probabilities are assigned: 0.28, 0.2, 0.2, 0.13, and 0.19.
Show the probability distribution for the expense forecast.

If income projections for the year are estimated at $12 million, how much profit does the college expect to make (report your answer in millions of dollars, to 2 decimals)?
A simple random sample of 700 individuals provides 100 Yes responses.
a. What is the point estimate of the proportion of the population that would provide Yes responses (to 2 decimals)?
b. What is your estimate of the standard error of the proportion (to 4 decimals)?
c. Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion (to 4 decimals).(

Americas young people are heavy Internet users; 87% of Americans ages 12 to 17 are Internet users (The Cincinnati Enquirer, February 7, 2006). MySpace was voted the most popular website by 9% in a sample survey of Internet users in this age group. Suppose 1,600 youths participated in the survey. What is the margin of error, and what is the interval estimate of the population proportion for which MySpace is the most popular website? Use a 95% confidence level and round your answers to 3 decimals. For interval estimate Enter your answer using parentheses and a comma, in the form (n1,n2). Do not use commas in your numerical answer (i.e. use 1200 instead of 1,200, etc.)
