1. The State Court Administrator for the State of Oregon has commissioned a study of two circuit court jurisdictions within the State to examine the effect of administrative rule differences upon litigation processing time. The two jurisdictions of interest are Coos County and Lane County. Samples of ten cases and seven cases, respectively, were selected at random from the Coos County and Lane County court dockets. Files from each of the sampled cases were examined to determine the total elapsed time required for processing each case, from filing to completion. The processing time for each of the sampled cases is given below. Coos County Lane County Case HEMAFOTO 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 Mean Std. Dev.

A conservative radio talk show host with a large audience is interested in the proportion p ofadults in his listening area who think the drinking age should be lowered to eighteen. To findthis out, he poses the following question to his listeners: “Do you think that the drinking ageshould be reduced to eighteen in light of the fact that eighteen year‐olds are eligible for militaryservice?” He asks listeners to phone in and vote “Yes” if they agree the drinking age should belowered and “No” if not. Of the 100 people who phoned in, 70 answered “Yes.” a. List one source of sampling bias (i.e. bias based on the people included in the sample). b. List another source of bias (sampling or non-sampling).
The averrage gasoline prrice at Chevvron was $3.12 per gallon lastt month. Due to the recent nation-wide gas price drop, the chiief marketing officer of Chevvron believes that there has been a significant reduction in the average gas pricce. In orrder to test hiis belief, he randdomly selected a sample of 36 of Chevvron gas stations and found the average gas price of these stations was $3.06. Assume that the population standard deviation of the population is $0.12, and the significance level (α) is 5%. A. Formmullate the null and the alternative hypotheses: Null: mu ≤ 3.06; Alternative: mu > 3.06 Null: mu = 3.06; Alternative: mu ≠ 3.06 Null: mu ≥ 3.12; Alternative: mu < 3.12 Null: mu = 3.12; Alternative: mu ≠ 3.12 Null: mu ≤ 3.12; Alternative: mu > 3.12 Null: mu ≥ 3.06; Alternative: mu < 3.06 B.

Recent revenue shortfalls in a southern state led to a reduction in the state budget for higher education. To offset the reduction, the largest state university proposed a 20%20% tuition increase. It was determined that such a large increase was needed to simply compensate for lost support from the state. Random samples of 100 freshmen, 100 sophomores, 100 juniors, and 100 seniors from the university were asked whether they were strongly opposed to the increase, given that it was the minimum increase necessary to maintain the university’s budget at current levels. The results are given in the table.

To boost holiday sales, Ginsberg jewelry store is advertising the following promotion: “If more than five inches of snow fall in the first three days of the year (January 1 through January 3), all purchases made between Thanksgiving and Christmas are free!” Based on historical sales records as well as experience with past promotions, the store manager believes that the total holiday sales between Thanksgiving and Christmas could range anywhere between $200,000 and $400,000 but is unsure of anything more specific. Ginsberg has collected data on snowfall from December 16 to January 18 for the past several winters in the file Ginsberg. Construct a simulation model to assess potential refund amounts so that Ginsberg can evaluate the option of purchasing an insurance policy to cover potential losses. What is the probability that Ginsberg will have to refund sales? What is the average refund? Why is this a poor measure to use to assess risk? In the cases when snowfall exceeds 5…

2) The rabies vaccine for dogs can save your dog's life. If your dog bites another animal or is on the receiving end of a bite, the vaccine can protect them from a dangerous and potentially fatal illness. Furthermore, in most places, the rabies vaccine for dogs is legally required. The NYC Department of Health wants to know if LESS than 95% of the dogs in the city have been vaccinated with their rabies vaccine. 158,045 of the 165,000 dogs examined had their rabies shots.
