The score distribution shown in the table is for all students who took a yearly AP statistics exam. An AP statistics teacher had 62 students preparing to take the AP exam. Though they were obviously not a random sample, he considered his students to be "typical" of all the national students. What's the probability that his students will achieve an average score of at least 3? Score Percent of Students 5 12.2 4 21.2 3 25.2 2 18.3 1 23.1 The probability that his students will achieve an average score of at least 3 is ____. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Suppose a high school guidance counselor wants to find out the proportion of students at his high school who have cheated on a test. He sends an email to 200 randomly selected students asking them if they have ever cheated on a test. Of the 25 that responded, 4% said they had cheated on a test.

Your professor wishes to estimate the proportion of high school students enrolled in college-level courses each school year. How large a sample is necessary if she wishes to be 99% confident with a margin of error of 3.5 percent? From an old 1999 study, the percentage of high school students enrolled in college-level courses was estimated to be 18.3%.
