7.20 Can People Delay Death? (Graded for Completeness) A new study indicates that elderly people are able to postpone death for a short time to reach an important occasion. The researchers studied deaths from natural causes among 1200 elderly people of Chinese descent in California during six months before and after the Harbor Moon Festival. Thirty-three deaths oc- curred in the week before the Chinese festival, compared with an estimated 50.82 deaths expected in that period. In the week following the festival, 70 deaths occurred, compared with an estimated 52. "The numbers are so significant that is would be unlikely to occur by chance," said one of the researchers. (a) Given the information in the problem, is the x² statistic likely to be relatively large or relatively small? (b) Is the p-value likely to be relatively large or relatively small? (c) In the week before the festival, which is higher: the observed count or the expected count? What does this tell us about the ability of elderly people to delay death?

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. Fewer young people are driving. In year A, 62.9% of people under 20 years old who were eligible had a driver's license. Twenty years later in year B that percentage had dropped to 48.7%. Suppose these results are based on a random sample of 1,500 people under 20 years old who were eligible to have a driver's license in year A and again in year B. (a) At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error of the number of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in year A? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) At 95% confidence, what is the interval estimate of the number of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in year A? (Round your answers to four decimal places.) _________ to ______________ (b) At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error of the number of eligible people under 20 years old who had a driver's license in year B?

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey in 2019 it was found that 33.13%of United States residents over the age of 25 had an educational attainment of a bachelor’sdegree or higher. In the District of Columbia, the percentage of residents over the age of 25 whohad attained a bachelor’s degree or higher was 59.67%. An investigator for the U.S. CensusBureau took a random sample of seven residents from the District of Columbia and asked themtheir highest educational degree they had obtained. a) Verify that the sample from the District of Columbia satisfies the conditions of thebinomial experiment. Write one sentence to check each requirement in context of theinvestigation.b) Assuming the sample from the District of Columbia is a binomial experiment, build theprobability distribution in a single table and include the table in your solutions. You maypresent this table horizontally or vertically and leave the probabilities unrounded. Thereare two possible ways to do this: To…
Many fundraisers ask for donations using email and text messages. A paper describes an experiment to investigate whether the proportion of people who make a donation when asked for a donation by email is different from the proportion of people who make a donation when asked for a donation in a text message. In this experiment, 1.7% of those who received and opened an email request for a donation and 7.8% of those who received a text message asking for a donation actually made a donation. Assume that the people who received these requests were randomly assigned to one of the two groups (email or text message) and suppose that the given percentages are based on sample sizes of 2,000 (the actual sample sizes in the experiment were much larger). (Let p1 be the proportion who make a donation after receiving an email, and p2 be the proportion who make a donation after receiving a text message.) Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use a table or SALT. Round your test statistic to two…
You are interested in comparing sleep habits of elementary school children. Suppose you have agroup of eighth graders. You asked them in July to estimate about how many hours of sleep they get pernight, on average. You asked those same individuals the same question again in November, during theschool year. Which is the most appropriate test to use?

In a small town in New York, we initiated a cohort study and followed 5,900 people for a mean follow-up of 2 years. At the end of the 2nd year, none of the participants was lost to follow-up. During this follow-up, we identified 600 cases of Covid-19. What was the cumulative incidence? O 10 cases O 10.1% O 50.8% O 10.1 per 1,000
Fewer young people are driving. In 1995, 63.9% of people under 20 years old who were eligible had a driver's license. Bloomberg reported that percentage had dropped to 41.7% in 2016. Suppose these results are based on a random sample of 1,200 people under 20 years old who were eligible to have a driver's license in 1995 and again in 2016.
2. Reporting on cheats What proportion of students are willing to report cheating by other students? A student project put this question to an SRS of 172 undergraduates at a large university: "You witness two students cheating on a quiz. Do you go to the professor?" Only 11% answered "Yes." The dotplot shows the proportion who would go to the professor in each of 1000 random samples of size 172 from a population where 11% would go to the professor. 17 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.25 Simulated sample proportion who would say "Yes" 0 0.05 Distribution of simulated proportion # samples 1000 mean 0.11 SD 0.024 (a) Use the results of the simulation to approximate the margin of error for Gallup's estimate of the proportion of U.S. adults who were satisfied with the way things were going in the United States at the time of the poll. (b) Interpret the margin of error.
In the article “Explaining an Unusual Allergy,” appearing on the Everyday Health Network, Dr. A. Feldweg explained that allergy to sulfites is usually seen in patients with asthma. The typical reaction is a sudden increase in asthma symptoms after eating a food containing sulfites. Studies are performed to estimate the percentage of the nation’s 10 million asthmatics who are allergic to sulfites. In one survey, 38 of 500 randomly selected U.S. asthmatics were found to be allergic to sulfites. Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion p of all U.S. asthmatics who are allergic to sulfites.
