		+	===Problem 12===
		+	A polling agency has been hired to predict the proportion of voters who favor a certain candidate. The polling agency picks a random sample of 1000 voters of which 400 indicate that they favor the candidate. If they increase the sample size to 2000, how does the standard error change?
		+
		+	*Choose one answer.
		+
		+	:''(a) The standard error will decrease by one-fourth
		+
		+	:''(b) The standard error will not change; the margin of error changes
		+
		+	:''(c) Since the sample size is doubled, the standard error will be halved
		+
		+	:''(d) The standard error will decrease not by a factor of 1/2 but by the square of root of 1/2

		+	===Problem 11===
		+	In Chesapeake Bay, complex changes in salinity are caused by the mixture of fresh water and sea water during the diurnal tidal cycle. The fresh water from the Chesapeake River floats across the denser brine in the bay, and during low tide it travels farther down the estuary. There is a counterflow, however, along the bottom that carries the dense marine water up the bay during the waning tide. The surface salinity measurements (in parts per thousand) taken at station 11, offshore from Annapolis, Maryland, on July 3-4, 1927 are collected. The normal probability plot and the histogram show that the data are very skewed. Under these circumstances, to conduct a test of hypotheses with this sample of measurements, what extra condition would we need?
		+
		+	*Choose one answer.
		+
		+	:''(a) The whole set of measurements in the population of all water is not normal
		+
		+	:''(b) The sample size is 15 or less
		+
		+	:''(c) the sample size is small enough to use the t-test

		+	===Problem 8===
		+	The LAPD has been testing a new system of catching speeders on the 405 over the last 10 months. They wanted to see if they really were catching more speeders, so each month they took 20 samples (with replacement) from the tickets issued in this program . Because their sample sizes were always one-fifth of the tickets, they increased in size each month. How did the sampling distribution of the mean change over the 10 months?
		+
		+	*Choose one answer.
		+
		+	:''(a) It became just one point - the true population mean
		+
		+	:''(b) It became wider because they had more information
		+
		+	:''(c) It became skewed to the right because very few people get more than 1 or 2 speeding tickets a year
		+
		+	:''(d) It became more like the true distribution of the population of tickets issued
		+
		+	:''(e) It became close to the normal distribution with the mean equal to the population mean

		+	What is a practical application of the Central Limit Theorem?
		+
		+	*Choose one answer.
		+
		+	:''(a) It gives you the message that you should pick as large of a sample as you can afford.
		+
		+	:''(b) It relates to the normal distribution and the concept of Z and percentile.

		+	===Problem 7===
		+	A study was planned to examine the length of a certain species of fish on Gull Lake. The initial plan was to take a random sample of 100 fish from this lake using a special net, and examine our results. We are also interested in investigating fish lengths in Lake Monster. The fish lengths in Lake Monster have a standard deviation that is twice as big as that on Gull Lake. Suppose you still wanted to get an accurate estimate of the mean fish length for Lake Monster (within 0.25 inches). Select the answer that best describes the sample size we need:
		+
		+	*Choose one answer.
		+
		+	:''(a) About the same size sample
