Alcohol abuse has been described by college presidents as the number one problem on campus, and it is an important cause of death in young adults. How common is it? A survey of 10,904 randomly selected U.S. college students collected information on drinking behavior and alcohol-related problems. The researchers defined “frequent binge drinking” as having five or more drinks in a row three or more times in the past two weeks. According to this definition, 2486 students were classified as frequent binge drinkers. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of students who are classified as binge drinkers. (Use the four-step process and Table A to get your z* value.) Using the interval that you calculated in the last question, conclude in context for the question.
A psychologist wanted to know if students in her class were more likely to cheat if they were low achievers. She divided her 60 students into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on their mean exam score on the previous three tests. She then asked them to rate how likely they were to cheat on an exam if the opportunity presented itself with a very limited chance for consequences. The students rated their desire to cheat on a scale ranging from 1-100, with lower numbers indicating less desire to cheat. Before opening the data, what would you hypothesize about this research question? Open the data set. Before running any statistical analyses, glance through the data. Do you think that your hypothesis will be supported? Conduct descriptive analyses and report them here. Conduct a one-way ANOVA.

In a major urban area, the percentage of male drivers between the ages of 19 and 29 who did not regularly use seatbelts was 28%. After a major radio and television campaign and stricter enforcement by the local police, researchers want to know if the percentage of male drivers between the ages of 19 and 29 who did not regularly use seatbelts has decreased. They poll a random sample of 100 males between the ages of 19 and 29 and find the percentage who didn’t wear their seatbelt was 24%. (a) Identify the population, parameter, sample and statistic.(b) State appropriate hypotheses for performing a significance test.
A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in New York and Illinois. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the that the mean annual income of childcare workers in the state of New York is greater than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Illinois. To see if this is true, the firm selected a random sample of 20 childcare workers from New York and an independent random sample of 20 childcare workers from Illinois and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows. Annual income in dollars New York 46686 , 34979 , 47325 , 48892 , 51128 , 56792 , 47785 , 48995 , 57301 , 55176 , 48002 , 45718 , 50351 , 58527 , 47067 , 53699 , 54361 , 49727 , 36426 , 50870 Illinois 48009 , 46871 , 42774 , 49790 , 43163 , 45401 , 41068 , 50300 , 47064 , 42003 , 47775 , 41917…
A global corporation is currently in the process of expanding its operations, and the only option is to move to another site. The Human Resource Team has conducted a survey to its employees who live far from the site in order to find out if they are willing to stay in dormitories. The survey categorizes its respondents according to gender. In the samples sample of 500 males and 800 females, those who are willing to stay in dormitories are 241 and 168, respectively. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population proportions. Assuming that the HR’s estimated difference between the proportion of genders who are willing to stay in dormitories is 35%, is the team’s estimation accurate?

A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in Illinois and Massachusetts. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the that the mean annual income of childcare workers in the state of Illinois is greater than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Massachusetts.

The state highway department is studying traffic patterns on one of the busiest highways in the state. As part of the study, the department needs to estimate the average number of vehicles that pass an intersection each day. One of the department’s officer (Officer A) claims that on average, more than 15,000 cars passing the intersection. On the other hand, Officer B claims that on average, 18,000 cars passing the intersection. Meanwhile, a random sample of 64 days gives a sample mean of 14,205 cars and a sample standard deviation of 1,010 cars. Test both claim at 0.05 level of significance. Use the critical value approach and show the complete calculation steps for each testing. Whose claim is true? a)Testing Officer A’s claim State the hypotheses, find critical value and state the decision rule, compute the test value, make decision, conclusion. b) Testing Officer B’s claim State the hypotheses, find critical value and state the decision rule, compute the test value, make decision,…
Among college students, the proportion p who say they’re interested in their congressional district’s election results has traditionally been 65% . After a series of debates on campuses, a political scientist claims that the proportion of college students who say they’re interested in their district’s election results is more than 65% . A poll is commissioned, and 194 out of a random sample of 270 college students say they’re interested in their district’s election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 . H0: H1: (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. ▼(Choose one) (c) Find the value of the test statistic.…
Is there a difference in the satisfaction rating of traditional cellphone providers who bill for service at the end of a month often under a contract and prepaid cellphone service providers who bill in advance without a contract? The accompanying table contains the satisfaction rating for 10 traditional cellphone providers and 13 prepaid cellphone service providers. What other assumption is necessary in (a)? A. Since the sample sizes are both less than 30, it must be assumed that the samples are specifically chosen and not independently sampled. B. Since the sample sizes are both less than 30, it must be assumed that the sample sizes are equal. C. Since the sample sizes are both less than 30, it must be assumed that the sample variances are equal. D. Since the sample sizes are both less than 30, it must be assumed that both sampled populations are approximately normal. Assuming that the population variances from both types of cellphone providers are equal,…
According the the U.S. Census bureau, the percentage of Santa Ana residents with a bachelor's degree or higher is 14% and the percentage of Irvine residents with a bachelor's degree or higher is 68.5%. Suppose that the sample sizes were 1000 for the Santa Ana group and 1000 for the irvine group. Is there enough evidence to conclude that people who live in Irvine have a higher level of education compared to people living in Santa Ana?
