7. License Plate Laws The Chapter Problem involved passenger cars in Connecticut and pas- senger cars in New York, but here we consider passenger cars and commercial trucks. Among 2049 Connecticut passenger cars, 239 had only rear license plates. Among 334 Connecticut trucks, 45 had only rear license plates (based on samples collected by the author). A reasonable hypothesis is that passenger car owners violate license plate laws at a higher rate than owners of commercial trucks. Use a 0.05 significance level to test that hypothesis. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

1) The Mars company says that before the introduction of purple M&Ms, 20% of the candies were yellow, 20% were red, 10% were orange, 10% were blue, 10% were green, and the rest were brown. You buy a bag of M&Ms and count 29 yellow, 23 red, 12 orange, 14 blue, 8 green and 20 brown. Use a significance level of ? = 0.1. d) Use your calculator to perform the appropriate hypothesis test and report the test statistic, p- value and degrees of freedom. Be sure to write out what you entered in your calculator. e) Write a full conclusion for this test in the context of the problem.

Every year during home football games the Carroll College fans do push-up contests to see how many they can do. Suppose that a curious stats student in the stands kept track of the number of push-ups completed for several students of both genders. Males 31 31 24 18 30 16 28 13 26 23 Females 16 11 10 1 26 26 6 9 16 32 Consider the hypothesis that males in this contest can do more pushups than females. Use an significance level to test the claim. The test statistic is Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean of the differences between males and females.

10. The most common species of sweat bees are green, red, and yellow. For each color, we select a sample of 100 of bees of this color and record their length (in inches). We then create 3 data sets of 100 observations each, called "green", "red" and "yellow". Below are the boxplots and histograms for these data sets. The labels of the variables are missing from the histograms, but are included in the boxplots. Our task is to identify the missing labels. Which one of the following statements is correct?

5. A high school teacher wants to see if there is an effect on vocabulary recall between when students take a quiz before lunch and when they take it after lunch. She randomly selected 10 students and assessed them before lunch on Tuesday. On Wednesday she randomly selected 10 students and assessed them after lunch. The following were the percentage results Before lunch 62 60 68 64 72 75 63 60 64 80 After lunch 72 85 72 62 84 76 66 63 65 64 What type of samples were selected – independent or dependent (paired)? Explain. StatCrunch was used to analyze the data, and the output for both types of samples (independent and dependent) is given below. Using the appropriate output, determine if the mean quiz score is higher for those who take the quiz before lunch over those who take the quiz after lunch at a significance level of 0.05.
