1. A mail-order company has two warehouses, one on the West Coast and the second on the East Coast. The company's policy is to mail all orders placed with it within 72 hours. The company's quality control department checks quite often whether or not this policy is maintained at the two warehouses. A recently taken sample of 400 orders placed with the warehouss on the West Coast showed that 364 of them were mailed withnin 72 hours. Another sample of 300 orders placed with the warehouse on the East Coast showed that 279 of them were mailed within 72 hours. a) Construct a 97% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of all orders placed at the two warehouses that are mailed within 72 hours. b) Using a 2.5 % significance level, can you conclude that the proportion of all orders placed at the warehouse on the West Coast that are mailed within 72 hours is lower than the corresponding proportion for the warehouse on the East Coast? Use the P-Value Approach.

1. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported talking at least once in the past year with their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol is 60% nationally. A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?
3. A newly graduate of administration of justice has been hired by the regional director of the FBI to take a poll of a residential area to determine the proportion of residents who would be opposed to a gun exchange program in their community. The regional director of the FBI told her that if 50% or more of the residents are opposed to the idea, a gun exchange program will not be implemented. She takes a random sample of 150 household heads in the community and find that .42 of those sampled are opposed to the idea. Build a 99% confidence interval around this point estimate. Is 50% within her interval? What would she advise the regional director of the FBI who hired her?
A researcher is conducting an experimental study on the effect of aspirin on heart attack risk. In order to assign who will receive aspirin and who will receive a placebo, she first divides her study into three age groups (18-29, 30-49, and 50 or older). She then randomly assigns individuals within these age groups to either receive aspirin or the placebo. This is an example of a cluster ?
2. A study for adverse reactions assigned adults at random to one of two common pain relievers (ibuprofen and acetaminophen). It was found that out of 733 adults who were administered ibuprofen, 103 of them experienced an adverse reaction, and out of 732 adults who were administered acetaminophen, 85 of them experienced an adverse reaction. Let p1 denote the proportion of adults who experience an adverse reaction when taking ibuprofen and let p2 denote the proportion of adults who experience an adverse reaction when taking acetaminophen. Suppose we want to answer the following questions. i) Test, at the 3% level of significance, whether the proportion of adults who experience an adverse reaction when taking ibuprofen is greater than the proportion of adults who experience an adverse reaction when taking acetaminophen. ii) Calculate the 97% confidence interval for p1 - P2. The table below provides the information needed to perform the hypothesis test: Value x1 103.0000 85.0000 733.0000…
3. Travelers who have no intention of showing up often fail to cancel their hotel reservations in a timely manner. These travelers are known, in the parlance of the hospitality trade, as "no-shows". To protect against no-shows and late cancellations, hotels invariably overbook rooms. A recent study examined the problems of over-booking rooms in the hotel industry. The following data, extracted from the study represent the daily numbers of late cancellations and no-shows for a random sample of 10 days at a hotel: 18, 16, 16, 16, 14, 18, 16, 18, 14, 19. c) Count the number of measurements that actually fall within the interval(-28, +2s) and express the interval count as a percentage of total number of measurements. at least 75% 100% 68% 95%

1. Explain under what conditions a researcher would use a One-Way Between-Subjects ANOVA. 2. A psychologist at a private mental hospital was asked to determine whether there was a clear difference in the length of stay for patients with different categories of diagnosis. Looking at the last four patients in each of the three major categories, the results (in terms of weeks of stay) were as follows:Diagnosis Category Affective Disorders Cognitive Disorders Drug-Related Conditions 7 12 8 6 8 10 5 9 12 6 11…
Why is it important to ensure that research participants' names and other identifying information are not included in the notes and other researcher data? Select one. O Only certain studies need to keep participant information confidential. O Anonymity protects the research participant from being discriminated against in the event another agency/entity has access to the raw data. O It is not necessary for respondents to remain anonymous in research. O In double blind studies, the participant does not need to remain anonymous.
