This document provides an outline and overview of topics covered in a course on inductive statistics, including probability distributions, sampling distributions, estimation, and hypothesis testing. Key topics discussed include interval estimation for means and proportions, using t-distributions when sample sizes are small and variances are unknown, and the basics of hypothesis testing such as null and alternative hypotheses. Examples are provided to illustrate concepts like confidence intervals for means, proportions, and hypothesis testing.

Editor's Notes
Solution. If we let X denote the number of subscribers who qualify for favorable rates, then X is a binomial random variable with n = 10 and p = 0.70. And, if we let Y denote the number of subscribers who don't qualify for favorable rates, then Y , which equals 10 − X , is a binomial random variable with n = 10 and q = 1 − p = 0.30. We are interested in finding P ( X ≥ 4). We can't use the cumulative binomial tables, because they only go up to p = 0.50. The good news is that we can rewrite P ( X ≥ 4) as a probability statement in terms of Y : P ( X ≥ 4) = P (− X ≤ −4) = P (10 − X ≤ 10 − 4) = P ( Y ≤ 6) Now it's just a matter of looking up the probability in the right place on our cumulative binomial table. To find P ( Y ≤ 6), we: Find n = 10 in the first column on the left. Find the column containing p = 0.30 . Find the 6 in the second column on the left, since we want to find F (6) = P ( Y ≤ 6). Now, all we need to do is read the probability value where the p = 0.30 column and the ( n = 10, y = 6) row intersect. What do you get? Do you need a hint? The cumulative binomial probability table tells us that P ( Y ≤ 6) = P ( X ≥ 4) = 0.9894. That is, the probability that at least four people in a random sample of ten would qualify for favorable rates is 0.9894.
