2) The federal guideline for smog is 12% pollutants per 10,000 volume of air. A metropolitan city is trying to bring its smog level into federal guidelines. The city comes up with a new policy where city employees are to use city transportation to and from work. A local environmental group does not think the city is doing enough, and that the pollution percentage is greater than 12%. An independent agency hired by the city to run a test used a random sample size of 250 and found the pollutants at 15%. Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Be sure the appropriate assumptions and conditions are satisfied before you proceed.

A state fisheries commission wants to estimate the number of bass caught in a given lake during a season in order to restock the lake with the appropriate number of young fish. The commission could get a fairly accurate assessment of the seasonal catch by extensive “netting sweeps" of the lake before and after a season, but this technique is much too expensive to be done routinely. Therefore, the commission samples a number of lakes and record the seasonal catch (thousands of bass per square mile of lake area) and size of lake (square miles).

An investigator wanted to determine whether playing video games constantly (chronic videogamer: CVG) was associated with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). By interviewing males ages 15-30 in a Midwestern city, the researchers located 400 males with CTS. A total of 800 additional males without CTS were selected at random and interviewed. Of those with CTS, 59 reported not being a CVG. 465 control males reported being a CVG.

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.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as part of its internal security mission, serves as a database for all the reported crimes committed in the United States. One question that might be of interest is does having more police officers reduce the number of homicides? To investigate this claim, the 2013 data from the twenty largest municipal cities was supplied by the FBI's Uniform Crime Report. Below are two observations from the dataset: > head (cities) City Pop Homicides Police Density MedHome Mayor 1 New York 8175.133 335 4.2595 27016.30 5.5390 1 2 Chicago 2695.598 414 4.4309 11843.58 1.8310 The variables included in the study are: Name of city Population of city in 1,000s of people Number of homicides in the year 2013 Number of police officers per 1,000 people Number of people per square mile Median home price in $100,000 1 if city has a "Strong Mayor" form of government; 0 if not City Рор Homicides Police Density MedHome Мayor Model: log(u;) = Bo + B1Police; + B2MedHome; +…
A health psychologist investigated dietary differences between middle class Hispanic and Black women. One dietary practice examined was the consumption of mutagen-containing meats (defined as smoked, grilled, or fried meat). Based on the contingency table below, is there a reason to believe there a difference between women with respect to their consumption of mutagen-containing meat servings per day. What can be concluded with an a of 0.01?
