1. A phycologist is interested in determining the proportion of algae samples from a local rivulet that belong to a particular phylum. A simple random sample of 50 alga is obtained and each alga is categorized as either being a cyanobacterium or not. The researcher found that 40 alga were, in fact, cyanobacteria. (enter your answer in 3 decimal places) (a) What is the sample proportion of the algae that were cyanobacteria?

A vaccine to prevent a severe virus was given to children within the first year of life as part of a drug study. The study reported that of the 3456bchildren randomly assigned the vaccine, 58 got the virus. Of the 1606 children randomly assigned the placebo, 46 got the virus. a. Find the sample percentage of children who caught the virus in each group. Is the sample percentage lower for the vaccine group, as investigators hoped? b. Determine whether the vaccine is effective in reducing the chance of catching the virus, using a significance level of 0.01.The first few steps of the hypothesis-testing procedure are given. Complete the procedure.
How many samples or treatments are here? 490 undergraduate students at a state university in the southwestern region of the United States were surveyed. Each student in the sample was classified according to class standing (freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior) and body are category (body piercings only, tattoos only, both tattoos and body piercings, no body art). Use the data in the accompanying table to determine if there is an association between class standing and body art category. Assume that it is reasonable to regard the sample as representative of the students at this university. Use α = 0.01.

A large group of workers is divided into three departments: those who work in special operations, those who work on the main floor, and those who work in management. Strep throat has been going around and a health inspector would like to know if there is a relationship between department and having strep throat. She selects a random sample of 100 workers and classifies each one according to their department and whether they have strep throat. The data are displayed in the table. The health inspector would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of strep throat status differs across the departments in the population of all workers of this large company. What is the appropriate inference procedure? chi-square test for goodness of fit because the data come from one random sample chi-square test for homogeneity because the data come from independent random samples chi-square test for association/independence because the data come from one random…
The customer service department of a phone company is experimenting with two different systems. On Monday they try the first system which is based on an automated menu system. On Tuesday they try the second system in which each caller is immediately connected with a live agent. A quality control manager selects a sample of seven calls each day. He records the time for each customer to have his or her question answered. The times(in minutes) are listed below. Find the coefficient of variation for each of the two sets of data, then compare the variation. Round results to one decimal place. Automated Menu 5.5 7.4 3.9 2.9 9.2 6.3 11.7 Live agent 6.2 2.9 4.4 4.1 3.4 5.2 3.7 Automated Menu:_____%Live agent:_____%(choose the correct one) A)There is substantially more variation in the times for the automated menu system B) There is substantially more variation in the times for the live agent

Human blood is classified by the presence or absence of three main antigens (A, B, and Rh). When a blood specimen is typed, the presence of the A and/or B antigen is indicated by listing the letter A and/or the letter B. If neither the A nor the B antigen is present, the letter O is used.The following table gives the percent of a country's population having each of the eight possible blood types in the sample space. Note that the presence or absence of the Rh antigen is indicated by the symbols + or −, respectively. Blood Types A+ A− B+ B− AB+ AB− O+ O− Percent 35.7 6.1 8.5 1.5 3.4 0.8 37.4 6.6 (a) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population has a blood type that is type AB given that the person is Rh+? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)(b) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population has a blood type that is Rh− given that the person is type O? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
A certain virus affects 0.7% of the population. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 87% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 14% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false positive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below based on a total sample of 100,000 people. Virus No Virus TotalPositive Test Negative Test Total 100,000a) Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. % b) Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that they test negative.
