The answer is the second one (or B): southwest.

Explanation for each option:

  • Southeast: This region is generally known for having ample rainfall and numerous water bodies, making freshwater shortages less common.
  • Southwest: This region is characterized by arid and semi-arid climates, leading to frequent freshwater shortages. States like Arizona, Nevada, and parts of California often experience significant water scarcity.
  • Northeast: This region typically has a more temperate climate with sufficient rainfall, reducing the likelihood of widespread freshwater shortages.
  • Northwest: Similar to the northeast, the northwest region usually has a wetter climate, particularly in areas like Washington and Oregon, which helps mitigate freshwater shortages.

Summary: Most freshwater shortages occur in the southwest region of the country due to its arid climate and limited water resources.

377 of the 627 freshmen psychology majors from a recent study changed their major before they graduated and 416 of the 611 freshmen business majors changed their major before they graduated. What can be concluded at the alpha=0.05 level of significance? If the calculator asks, be sure to use the "Pooled" data option. For this study, we should use z-test for the difference between two population proportions The results are statistically significant at alpha=0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of the 627 freshmen psychology majors who changed their major is less than the proportion of the 611 freshmen business majors who change their major.
