Example Five: You are a political consultant and you are to redistrict the following town. There are 40 Democrats (D) concentrated in the center and 32 Republicans (R) dominating the suburbs. This is a "winner-take-all" system where districts are represented by a single elected official. The city below must be divided using the following rules: • There must be exactly 4 districts • Each district must have exactly 6 "neighborhoods" One neighborhood = one group of 3 letters You are to create 2 plans: Plan 1: You must create a city where Republicans have a strong advantage over Democrats Plan 2: You must create a city where Democrats have a strong advantage over Republicans RRR RDR RDR RDR DRD DRD DRD DRD DRD DDD DDD RDR DRD DDD DDD DRD RDR DRD DRD RDR RRR DRD DRD RRR RRR RDR RDR RDR DRD DRD DRD DRD DRD DDD DDD RDR DRD DDD DDD DRD RDR DRD DRD RDR RRR DRD DRD RRR

Question A political campaign is considering sending a letter requesting donations to all of the tens of thousands of people on its mailing list. The campaign will only send the letter to everyone on the list if it is convinced that more than 4% of recipients will respond with donations. The campaign sends the letter to a random sample of 500 people on its list and receives donations in response from 24 recipients. At the 5% level of significance, does the campaign have convincing evidence that more than 4% of recipients on its entire mailing list will respond with donations? Identify the p-value for the appropriate hypothesis test. Round your answer to three decimal places as needed. You may use technology or the z-table below. z 0.00 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.05 0.06 0.07 0.08 0.09 0.7 0.758 0.761 0.764 0.767 0.770 0.773 0.776 0.779 0.782 0.785 0.8 0.788 0.791 0.794 0.797 0.800 0.802 0.805 0.808 0.811 0.813 0.9 0.816 0.819 0.821 0.824 0.826 0.829 0.831 0.834 0.836 0.839 1.0 0.841 0.844 0.846 0.848 0.851 0.853 0.855 0.858 0.860 0.862 1.1 0.864 0.867 0.869 0.871 0.873 0.875 0.877 0.879 0.881 0.883

A few birds of a particular species arrive on a small island from a neighboring larger island. There are new food plants available on the small island, and after several generations, the average beak size and shape in the population on the small island is slightly different from the population on the larger island. About once a year, a few more birds from the neighboring larger island arrive and join the population on the small island, and a few birds from the small island migrate back to the larger island. If you wanted to ensure that the population on the small island became a separate species from the population on the larger island, you should: prevent any more birds from migrating between the two islands transfer more birds from the larger island to the small island each year transfer more birds from the small island to the larger island each year provide many new foods to the bird populations on both islands to give them a chance to adapt to many different types of food transfer some food plants from the larger island to the small island each year
