1) Choose one of the following scenarios: (Put data in using columns instead of rows) a) A case control (or retrospective) study was conducted to investigate a relationship between colors of helmets worn by motorcycle drivers and whether they are injured or killed in a crash. Results are given in the table below. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that injuries are independent of helmet color. Should motorcycle drivers choose helmets with a particular color? If so, which color appears best? Color of Helmet Black White Yellow/Orange Red Blue Controls (not injured) 491 377 31 170 55 Cases (injured or Killed) 213 112 8 70 26 1) Ho: color of helmet / control cases are independent 2) Ha : color of helmet/ control cases are dependent 3) 4) α = 0.05 5) p-value = 0.041 6) 0.041 < 0.05, reject Ho 7) At α = 0.05 , color of helmet and control cases are dependent
2) Choose one of the following scenarios: (Put data in two separate columns.) a) The table below lists the frequency of wins for different post positions in the Kentucky Derby horse race. A post position of 1 is closest to the inside rail, so that horse has the shortest distance to run. (Because the number of horses varies from year to year only the first 10 post positions are included.) Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the likelihood of winning is the same for the different post positions. Post position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Wins 19 14 11 15 14 7 8 12 5 11 Based on the result, should bettors consider post position of a horse racing in the Kentucky Derby? 1) Ho: P1=0.1,P2=0.1,P3=0.1,P4=0.1,P5=0.1,P6=0.1,P7=0.1,P8=0.1,P9=0.1,P10=0.1 2) Ha : same or all of the probabilities are different then stated in Ho 3) 4) α = 0.05 5) p-value = 0.142 6) 0.142>0.05, accept Ho 7) At α = 0.05, P1=0.1,P2=0.1,P3=0.1,P4=0.1,P5=0.1,P6=0.1,P7=0.1,P8=0.1,P9=0.1,P10=0.1
Choose one of the following scenarios: (Put data in 2 separate columns.) a) Listed below are altitudes (thousands of feet) and outside air temperatures (°F) recorded by a passenger during Delta Flight 1053 from New Orleans to Atlanta. Altitude (thousands of feet) 3 10 14 22 28 31 33 Temperature (°F) 57 37 24 −5 −30 −41 −54 i) What is the least squares regression equation? Yhat = 72.50 + 3.684x ii) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population slope. Interpret the interval. ( 3.684±2.571(0.133) = ( 3.34, 4.03) I am 95% confident the population slope is between 3.34 and 4.03 there is a positive linear relationship. iii) Test H 0 : β 1 = 0 versus H a : β 1 < 0. Can you conclude that altitude and temperature are related? Use the α = 0.05 level of significance. Show all steps. Ho:B1 = 0 Ha: B1<0 A = 0.05 p-value = 0.000 0.000<0.05, reject Ho At a = 0.05, the population slope is less than zero iv) Compute a point estimate for the mean temperature with an altitude of 6327 ft or 6.327 thousand feet. Y hat = 49.19 f v) State the 95% confidence interval for the mean temperature with an altitude of 6.327 thousand feet. Interpret this result . (43.26,55.12) I am 95% confident the population mean temperature with an altitude of 6327f is between 43.26 and 55.12 vi) State the 95% confidence interval for the predicted temperature with an altitude of 6.327 thousand feet. Interpret this result. (37.96 , 60.42) I am 95% confident the predicted temperature with an altitude of 6327f is between 37.96 and 60.42

4) Choose one of the following scenarios: (copy and paste the entire data set into Minitab) a) Data set #1 is located in the Project #2 folder in Blackboard in the folder called DATA SETS, includes highway and city fuel consumption amounts for cars with 4 cylinders, 6 cylinders and 8 cylinders in addition to the size of the car. i) Determine whether the mean highway fuel consumption is the same among the three cylinders, use the 0.05 level of significance. If it is determined that the means are not all the same, which pairs of means are different? ii) Determine whether the mean city fuel consumption is the same among the three size categories, use the 0.01 level of significance. If it is determined that the means are not all the same, which pairs of means are different? i) 1) Ho : µ3 = µ4 = µ6 = µ8 2) Ha : Two or more of the population means are different. 3)
