Q2. Commander and Chief George W. Bush has been concerned with the number of helicopter crashes per week in Iraq. Over the last four years he noted that there were no helicopter crashes 35% of the time; there was one helicopter crash 27% of the time; there were two helicopter crashes 19% of the time; there were three helicopter crashes 11% of the time and there were four helicopter crashes 8% of the time.

Q5. The city of Anchorage has three television stations, each with its own evening news program from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The Noonan Survey Group is hired to determine if there is a preference among the viewing audience for any station. A random sample of 150 viewers revealed that 53 watched the evening news on KENI-TV; 64 on KTUU-TV and 33 on KTVA-TV. At a 0.05 level of significance is there sufficient evidence to show that the three stations have equal shares of the evening news audience.
