3. A study found that there was a 48% chance that a driver fails a breathalyser test when it is administered on a Friday night. The test is administered to eighty drivers. (a) What distribution that can be used to model the above situation. (b) State two (2) characteristics of the distribution identified in (a) (c) How many drivers do we expect to fail the test?

3. A survey was conducted two years ago asking college students their top motivations for using a credit card. To determine whether this distribution has changed, you randomly select 425 college students and ask each one what the top motivation is for using a credit card. Can you conclude that there has been a change in the claimed or expected distribution? Use a = 0.10. Complete parts (a) through (d). Response Old Survey % 27% New Survey Frequency, f Rewards Low rates Cash back Discounts Other 110 24% 98 21% 107 7% 46 21% 64 a. State H, and H, and identify the claim. What is the null hypothesis, Ho? O A. The distribution of motivations differs from the expected distribution. O B. The distribution of motivations is 27% rewards, 24% low rate, 21% cash back, 7% discounts, and 21% other. O C. The distribution of motivations is 110 rewards, 98 low rate, 107 cash back, 46discounts, and 64 other. What is the alternate hypothesis, H,? O A. The distribution of motivations differs from the…
The community hospital is studying its distribution of patients. A random sample of 317 patients presently in the hospital gave the following information: Type of Patient Old rate of occurrences of the types of patients Present number of occurrences of these types of patients Maternity ward 20% 65 Cardiac ward 32% 100 Burn ward 10% 29 Children's ward 15% 48 All other wards 23% 75 Using a 5% level of significance, test the claim that the distribution of patients in these wards has not changed. Problem 1 (Test Statistic) A. χ2 = 0.036 B. χ2 = 315.36 C. χ2 = 0.355 D. χ2 = 1101.94 E. χ2 = 0.6322 Problem 2 (p-value, conclusion) A. p = 0.9965; RHo (Observed Values do not match Expectation) B. p = 0.9860; FRHo (Observed Values match Expectation) C. p = 0.9965; FRHo (Observed Values match Expectation) D. p = 0.9860; RHo (Observed Values do not match Expectation) E. p = 0.0035; RHo (Observed Values do not match Expectation)
A researcher studying public opinion of proposed Social Security changes obtains a simple random sample of 25 adult Americans and asks them whether or not support the proposed changes . To say that the distribution of the sample proportion of adults who respond yes, is approximately normal , how many more adult Americans does the researcher need to sample in the following cases? (a) 15% of all adult Americans support the changes (b) 20% of all adult Americans support the changes

(a) A new car model has a design fault, as a result of which 10% of production cars have a particular ignition problem. Engineers have come up with a modification which they hope will end the difficulty, and a pilot run of 30 cars is manufactured using the modified design. State and briefly justify a distribution you might consider using to model the number of cars X in this pilot run with the ignition problem. (b) Suppose that the modification has no effect on the problem. Using your model, find Pr(X=0) and Pr(X= 1). If in fact no cars have the problem, would the manufacturer be justified in concluding that the change has definitely improved the situation? (c) Suppose now that the problem occurs in only 1% of cars manufactured in the modified way. Estimate the probability that in the first 500 cars there are no more than two still with the problem. (d) Later, the manufacturer claims that as a result of the modification the problem occurs in only 0.5% of cars. An independent survey of…
In a normal distribution of scores, four participants obtained the following deviation scores: +1, −2, +5, and −10. (a) Which score reflects the highest raw score? (b) Which score reflects the lowest raw score? (c) Rank-order the deviation scores in terms of their frequency, starting with the score with the lowest frequency.

Serum estradiol is an important risk factor for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. To better understand the etiology of breast cancer, serum-estradiol samples were collected from 25 premenopausal women (at about the same time period of the menstrual cycle) of whom 10 were Caucasian and 15 were African American. The data are shown in Table 7.3. The distribution of serum estradiol is usually highly skewed (especially for premenopausal women), and we are reluctant to assume normality. Table 7.3 Serum estradiol and ethnicity in 25 premenopausal women, where 0=Caucasian and 1=African-American.

A researcher has run an experiment on the effects of early cognitive simulation on children and their school success at age 10 years. He wants to compare his sample results to the normal distribution (z-distribution), but he is not sure whether the population distribution is normal or not. He comes to you as an expert in statistics for advice. Can he do this? Why or why not? What conditions must be met?
