An airline operates a call center to handle customer questions and complaints. The airline monitors a sample of calls to help ensure that the service being provided is of high quality. Ten random samples of 100 calls each were monitored under normal conditions. The center can be thought of as being in control when these 10 samples were taken. The number of calls in each sample not resulting in a satisfactory resolution for the customer is as follows. 4 5 3 2 3 3 4 6 4 8 (a) What is an estimate of the proportion of calls not resulting in a satisfactory outcome for the customer when the center is in control? (b) Construct the upper and lower limits for a p chart for the manufacturing process, assuming each sample has 100 calls. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) UCL - LCL = (c) With the results of part (b), what conclusion should be made if a sample of 100 has 13 calls not resulting in a satisfactory resolution for the customer? Since the sample proportion = is --Select- |the…
Suppose we are interested in the relationship between individuals’ place of residence (rural versus urban) and their political affiliation (Republican versus Democrat). A random sample of 100 individuals yields the following crosstabulation: Political Affiliation Place of Residence Republican Democrat Rural 21 29 Urban 14 36 a) In words, what is the null hypothesis to be tested? b) Is the relationship between place of residence and political affiliation statistically significant at the .05 level? (Be sure to show the statistics that lead to your decision.) c) Compute and interpret an appropriate measure of association for the relationship between these two variables.
A recent study of 1000 high school juniors and seniors asked whether or not they felt smartphones are a valuable learning tool. Additional data were gathered on their smartphone plan (unlimited data, additional texting, or standard voice plan) and which class they were in (junior vs. senior). Which of the following is a correct pair of hypotheses the researchers could test? (A) Ho: The proportion of juniors and seniors who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is the same for students that have each type of plan. Ha: The proportion of juniors and seniors who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is not the same for students that have each type of plan (B) Ho: The proportion of students who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is the same for students that have each type of plan. Ha: The proportion of students who feel smartphones are a valuable learning tool is not the same for students that have each type of plan. (C) Ho: There is an association between class…
The College Board provided comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The overall mean SAT math score was 514.1 SAT math scores for independent samples of students follow. The first sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree. The second sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree.

Looking at youth depression scores from a general sample of random children in the US, we want to determine if our sample is significantly different than the national average of scores of children with depression in the US. The national average of scores on a measure of depression is 5 points. We have no reason to assume it will be higher or lower than the US national average. The sample: 11 9 12 3 3 4 13 1. What is the null and alternative hypotheses? Do not specify any directionality. 2. What did you discover (using 95% Cl)? Provide an interpretation.
In the largest clinical trial ever conducted, 401,974 children were randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group consisted of 201,229 children given the Salk vaccine for polio, and the other 200,745 children were given a placebo. Among those in the treatment group, 33 developed polio, and among those in the placebo group, 115 developed polio. If we want to use the methods for testing a claim about two population proportions to test the claim that the rate of polio is less for children given the Salk vaccine, are the requirements for a hypothesis test satisfied? Explain. A The requirements are not satisfied; the samples are not simple random samples that are independent. B. The requirements are satisfied; the samples are simple random samples that are independent, and for each of the two groups, the number of successes is at least 5 and the number of failures is at least 5. C. The requirements are satisifed; the samples are simple random samples…
