A sociologist studying New York City ethnic groups wants to determine if there is a difference in income for immigrants from four different countries during their first year in the city. She obtained the data in the following table from a random sample of immigrants from these countries (incomes in thousands of dollars). Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that there is no difference in the earnings of immigrants from the four different countries. Country I Country II Country III Country IV 12.3 8.3 20.4 17.3 9.1 17.2 16.5 8.7 10.9 19.2 22.8 14.2 8.8 10.2 5.5 21.4 16.1 19.2 19.3 (b) Find SSTOT, SSBET, and SSW and check that SSTOT = SSBET + SSW.

Support for the U.S. death penalty for convicted murderers was 63% in 2014 (Gallup poll results 2018). In a recent survey of 150 randomly selected U.S. adults, 75 said they were in favor of the death penalty for those convicted of murder. Does this sample appear to come from a population with a lower proportion in favor of the death penalty? d) Say that a = 0.05, what does this mean. Explain in the context of the problem. e) What would it mean to make a type II error? Explain in the context of this problem. f) Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim. State your conclusion AND interpret your results.

A demographer wants to know what proportion of women in different countries dye their hair. They take a random sample of women from Korea and another random sample of women from China. In Korea, 47% dyed their hair. In China, 56% dyed their hair. (a) What hypotheses would the demographer use to test if women in China are more likely to dye their hair than women in Korea? H0: pChina=pKorea vs. Ha: pChina ≠ pKoreaH0: pChina - pKorea = 0 vs. Ha: pChina - pKorea > 0 H0: μChina-μKorea = 0 vs. Ha: μChina-μKorea ≠ 0H0: pChina-pKorea = 0.09 vs. Ha: pChina-pKorea ≠ 0.09H0: μChina = 0.56 vs. Ha: μKorea = 0.47 (b) Suppose their test yielded a p-value of 0.079. What does this mean in the context of the test? We are 7.9% confident that the results of our test are correct.If the women of two countries have the same rates of coloring their hair, the probability of getting a difference at least this large is 0.079. If we take another sample, the probability of getting the same p̂China and…
