Made in America In a recent Harris Poll, a random sample of adult Americans (18 years and older) was asked, “When you see an ad emphasizing that a product is ‘Made in America,’ are you more likely to buy it, less likely to buy it, or neither more nor less likely to buy it?” The results of the survey, by age group, are presented in the contingency table below.

f. Write a few sentences describing any observed relationship between the likelihood to buy and age.

Which sampling method involves dividing the population into groups ($\mathrm{strata}$) and then taking a random sample from each group?

Nonresponse bias occurs when which of the following happens in a probability sample?

Consider the following probability distribution for a discrete random variable $X$: $X$: $1$ $2$ $3$ $4$, $P\left(X\right)$: $0.1$ $0.3$ $0.4$ $0.2$. Which of the following statements is true about this distribution?

Complete each statement: An event with a probability of $0$ is ____, and an event with a probability of $1$ is ____.

Given the data below, determine the probability that a person randomly selected from Group 1 will be wearing jeans.

In your coin purse, you have 3 quarters, 4 nickels, & 2 dimes. If you pick a coin at random, what is the probability that it will be a quarter?

In Exercises 21-28, find the probability and answer the questions.

YSORT Gender Selection MicroSort’s YSORT gender selection technique is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a boy. At one point before clinical trials of the YSORT gender selection technique were discontinued, 291 births consisted of 239 baby boys and 52 baby girls (based on data from the Genetics & IVF Institute). Based on these results, what is the probability of a boy born to a couple using MicroSort’s YSORT method? Does it appear that the technique is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a boy?

In Exercises 21-28, find the probability and answer the questions.

Mendelian Genetics When Mendel conducted his famous genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 428 green peas and 152 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the expected value of as Mendel claimed?
