To determine how many different combinations of 4 movies Rafael can rent with at least one documentary involved, we can use the concept of combinations from combinatorics. The total number of ways to choose 4 movies from 31 total films (16 documentaries and 15 foreign films) is one part of the calculation. However, since Rafael wants at least one documentary, we should exclude the combinations where there are no documentaries at all. So, first, we calculate the total number of ways to pick any 4 movies, then subtract the number of ways to choose 4 movies that are all foreign films. Let's do the calculations step by step: 1. Calculate the total number of combinations of 4 movies he can rent from 31 films. 2. Calculate the number of combinations of 4 movies he can rent that are all foreign films. 3. Subtract the all-foreign-film combinations from the total combinations to get the number of combinations with at least one documentary. Rafael can rent 30,100 different combinations of 4 movies if he wants at least one documentary among his selections.

QUESTION l. An investigation has been carried out in a region to know the perception of "citizen insecurity" of its inhabitants. 1,270 people in the region were interviewed, of which 27.1% responded that it was a "serious" problem. Knowing that this opinion was previously held by 25.3% of the population of that region, we want to know if said opinion has changed significantly for a confidence level of 97.2%.
