A television station wishes to study the relationship between viewership of its 11 p.m. news program and viewer age (18 years or less, 19 to 35, 36 to 54, 55 or older). A sample of 250 television viewers in each age group is randomly selected, and the number who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news is found for each sample. The results are given in the table below. Age Group Watch11 p.m. News? 18 or less 19 to 35 36 to 54 55 or Older Total Yes 37 46 59 83 225 No 213 204 191 167 775 Total 250 250 250 250 1,000 (a) Let p1, p2, p3, and p4 be the proportions of all viewers in each age group who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news. If these proportions are equal, then whether a viewer watches the station’s 11 p.m. news is independent of the viewer’s age group. Therefore, we can test the null hypothesis H0 that p1, p2, p3, and p4 are equal by carrying out a chi-square test for independence. Perform this test by setting α = .05. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)…

Twenty-nine college students, identified as having a positive attitude about Mitt Romney as compared to Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election, were asked to rate how trustworthy the face of Mitt Romney appeared, as represented in their mental image of Mitt Romney’s face. Ratings were on a scale of 0 to 7, with 0 being “not at all trustworthy” and 7 being “extremely trustworthy.” Here are the 29 ratings: 2.6 3.2 3.7 3.3 3.4 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 4.1 4.2 4.9 5.7 4.2 3.9 3.2 4.5 5.0 5.0 4.6 4.6 3.9 3.9 5.3 2.8 2.6 3.0 3.3 3.7 a 95% confidence interval for the mean rating. Is there significant evidence at the 5% level that the mean rating is greater than 3.5 (a neutral rating)?

An industrial-organizational psychologist is interested in discovering the relationship between the tempo of preferred music that is played in a workplace and employee mood. Employees chose their favorite song on an MP3 player and then reported their moods when listening to that piece of music. A total of 10 participants were asked individually and brought in their own MP3 players; the least number of songs on an employee's MP3 player was 350. The sample data are presented as a scatterplot below. The psychologist wants to use a Pearson correlation coefficient to analyze the relationship. Considering the assumptions for this statistic, which of these statements is the correct course of action? A. The researcher has chosen the wrong statistic to represent this relationship. B. The researcher has violated a robust assumption and should be able to calculate r. C. The researcher has chosen the right statistic because all the assumptions are valid. D. The researcher has violated a…

A contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section. To prepare for the story, she conducts a study to compare the exercise habits of people who exercise in the morning to the exercise habits of people who work out in the afternoon or evening. She selects three different health centers from which to draw her samples. The 56 people she sampled who work out in the morning have a mean of 4.4 hours of exercise each week. The 63 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 4.2 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.8 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.7 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Step 1 of 2: Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts of…
