A researcher wanted to test whether there is a relationship between preferred sweet (Oreo cookies, Mars bars, or Twinkies) and age group (children, adolescents, or young adults). To test that, subjects from the three age groups were asked which of the three sweets they preferred. Which statistical test should be used to analyze the data? 1. chi square test of independece 2. chi square test for goodness of fit 3. one sample t test 4. one way anova test

Is the difference between the mean annual salaries of statisticians in Region 1 and Region 2 more than $5000? To decide, you select a random sample of statisticians from each region. The results of each survey are shown to the right. At a = 0.10, what should you conclude? Region 1 X1 = $67,700 Region 2 X2 = $62,000 01 = $8825 02 = $9025 n1 = 48 n2 = 43 Click here to view page 1 of the standard normal distribution table.

For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding. How hard is it to reach a businessperson by phone? Let p be the proportion of calls to businesspeople for which the caller reaches the person being called on the first try. A USE SALT (a) If you have no preliminary estimate for p, how many business phone calls should you include in a random sample to be 80% sure that the point estimate p will be within a distance of 0.03 from p? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) phone calls (b) A report states that businesspeople can be reached by a single phone call approximately 15% of the time. Using this (national) estimate for p, answer part (a). (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) phone calls
A sample of n = 64 scores has a mean of M = 45 and an estimated standard error of 3 points. What is the sample variance? Select one: a. s2 = 113 b. s2 = 576 c. s2 = 498 d. s2 = 502
According to a sociologist's research on U.S. residents' habits regarding religious faith, 38% of U.S. residents attend a religious service (any denomination) at least once per month. Suppose 310 U.S. residents are sampled. (Give results accurate to at least 4 decimal places.) a. Of the 310 people sampled, 132 respond that they attend a religious service at least once per month. What is the sample statistic p? p= 0.4258 b. Under the assumption that the sociologist's claim that 38% of U.S. residents attend a religious service at least once per month is valid, what is the probability that the survey in part (a) would result in a p that is at least as high as the one found? c. Under the assumption that the sociologist's claim that 38% of U.S. residents attend a religious service at least once per month is valid, what is the probability that the survey in part (a) would result in a p that is between 37% and 40%?
