8.83 Dehorning of dairy calves. For safety reasons, calf de- horning has become a routine practice at dairy farms. A report by Europe's Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health (SANKO) stated that 80% of European dairy farms carry out calf dehorning. A later study, published in the Journal of Dairy Science (Vol. 94, 2011), found that in a sample of 639 Italian dairy farms, 515 dehorn calves. Does the Journal of Dairy Science study support or refute the figure reported by SANKO? Explain.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 11.3% of U.S. workers belong to unions (BLS website, January 2014). Suppose a sample of 400 U.S. workers is collected in 2014 to determine whether union efforts to organize have increased union membership. a. Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether union membership increased in 2014. Ho: p Select Select b. If the sample results show that 52 of the workers belonged to unions, what is the p-value for your hypothesis test (to 4 decimals)? c. Ata- 05, what is your conclusion? Select
Online customer service is a key element of online retailing. According to the WSJ Market Data Group 37.5% of priceline customers take advantage of this service.

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's degree or higher. In the District of Columbia, the percentage of residents over the age of 25 who had attained a bachelor's degree or higher was 59.67%. An investigator for the U.S. Census Bureau took a random sample of seven residents from the District of Columbia and asked them their highest educational degree they had obtained. When there is no data set posted for an investigation, open a blank StatCrunch page by clicking "Open StatCrunch" on the StatCrunch home page. a) Verify that the sample from the District of Columbia satisfies the conditions of the binomial experiment. Write one sentence to check each requirement in context of the investigation. b) Assuming the sample from the District of Columbia is a binomial experiment, build the probability distribution in a single table and include the table in…

A certain HMO is attempting to show the benefits of managed care to an insurance company. The HMO believes that certain types of doctors are more cost-effective than others. One theory is that certification level is an important factor in measuring the cost-effectiveness of physicians. To investigate this, the HMO obtained independent random samples of 27 physicians from each of the three certification levels—Board certified (C); Uncertified, board eligible (E); and Uncertified, board ineligible (I)—and recorded the total per-member, per-month charges for each (a total of 27 physicians). In order to compare the mean charges for the three groups, the data will be subjected to an analysis of variance. Write the null hypothesis tested by the ANOVA.

In 2014, about 11.3% of U.S. workers belonged to a union. Suppose a sample 400 of U.S. workers is collected to determine whether union efforts to organize have increased union membership. Which if the following is the best description of what u- represents? O A. -is the average sample proportion for all possible samples of size 400 O B. H- is the average number of U.S. workers that belong to a union in all possible samples of size 400 C. O C.H- is the number of all U.S. workers that belong to a union. O D. H- is the proportion of U.S. workers in the sample that belong to a union O E. µ – is the proportion of all U.S. workers that belong to a union
