Answer:
0.5%/year
24.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimate the average yearly increase in the percentage of first-year college females claiming no religious affiliation
Percentage of females by year:
1980 = 6.2%
1990 = 10.8%
2000 = 13.6%
2012 = 21.7%
Average yearly increase :
Percentage increase between 1980 - 2012 :
2012% - 1980% = ( 21.7% - 6.2%) = 15.5% increase over [(2012 - 1980)] = 32 years
15.5 % / 32 years = 0.484375% / year = 0.5%/year
b. Estimate the percentage of first-year college females who will claim no religious affiliation in 2030,
Given an average increase of 0.484375% / year
(2030 - 1980) = 50 years
Hence by 2030 ; ( 50 years × 0.484375%/year) = 24.218% will claim no religious affiliation.

Answer:
0.7673
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following:
The null and alternative hypothesis is,
H0: m = 290
Ha: m> 290
x = 285.2
m = 290
sd = 59.3
n = 82
is m the mean, sd the standard deviation and n the population size
Now we calculate the value of z like this:
z = (x - m) / sd / (n ^ (1/2))
z = (285.2 - 290) / 59.3 / (82 ^ (1/2))
z = -0.73
now
P (z> -0.73) = 1 - P (z <-0.73)
we look at the normal distribution table
P = 1 - 0.2327 = 0.7673
Therefore the value of p is equal to 0.7673
