Assignment 05

Due on 09/24/18 11:59 P.M. Team Homework

1. Form a team of 4 or 5 using the teams page on my website. You can do 3 things there
– start a team, add another person once you are on a team, and delete yourself from a
team.
Everyone on a team gets the same grade. Be sure to include the team number and the
team members in the assignment. Only one person from the team needs to submit the
homework. Note that academic integrity rules require that you do not include team
members who did not contribute the homework. (0.1 point)

2. Determine the percentage of time that more than 3 hours would elapse between phone
calls to your office if in the past you got 8 phone calls in an 8 hour day. (0.15 points)

standard deviation of 0.1. The guarantee to the customer is that no more than 1% of

6. Yesterday (old test question) there was a referendum in Italy. The measure would only
count if 50% of the voters turned out to vote. The measure passed. But unfortunately for
its backers, the turnout was only 49.6%. This percentage is not a sample, because all the
ballots were counted. If instead of counting all the ballots, you had to determine the
percentage of Yes votes with a sample, how large a sample would you have to take to get
the result within 0.2% at 95% confidence? (0.25 points)
