A biologist wishes to study the effect of the pollinating number of insects on yields of dates on a large dates farm located in the governorate of Musandam. Using your statistics knowledge, you propose to her that for better inferential statistics she should use systematic random sampling to select a sample of 100 date trees from the 2000 date trees in the farm. Which of the following is true? Select one: The population is 100 date trees selected from the farm O b. Systematic sampling is a convenient sampling method Oc. The sampling size will be 20 O d. Systematic sampling is obtained by taking every pth element from the population

Use the three-read strategy to understand the following exercise from a statistics textbook, and then proceed to complete the exercise. A popular urban legend is that more babies than usual are born during certain phases of the lunar cycle, especially near the full moon. Suppose that a certain paper classified births according to the lunar cycle. Data for a sample of randomly selected births, consistent with summary quantities in the paper, are given in the accompanying table. Lunar Phase Numberof Days Numberof Births New Moon 24 7,670 Waxing Crescent 152 48,442 First Quarter 24 7,589 Waxing Gibbous 149 47,814 Full Moon 24 7,711 Waning Gibbous 150 47,595 Last Quarter 24 7,733 Waning Crescent 152 48,240 Calculate the value of the Χ2 goodness-of-fit test statistic that could be used to determine if the distribution of number of births in each lunar phase is what would be expected based on the number of days in each phase. Use the value of the test statistic to…
In each of the following settings, decide whether you should use two-sample z procedures for a difference in proportions, two- sample t procedures for a difference in means, or paired t procedures for a mean difference. (a) A city planner is comparing traffic patterns at two different intersections. He randomly selects 12 times between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and he and his assistant count the number of cars passing through each intersection during the 10- minute interval that begins at that time.

When an audit must be conducted that involves a tedious examination of a large inventory, the audit may be very costly and time consuming if each item in the inventory must be examined. In such situations, the auditor frequently obtains a random sample of items from the complete inventory and uses the results of an audit of the sampled items to check the validity of the company's financial statement. A large company’s financial statement claims an inventory that averages $600 per item. The following data are the auditor’s assessment of a random sample of 75 items from the company’s inventory. The values resulting from the audit are rounded to the nearest dollar. Estimate the mean value of an item in the inventory using a 95% confidence interval. Is there substantial evidence (a 5 .01) that the mean value of an item in the inventory is less than $600? What is the target population for the above inferences? Would normal distribution–based procedures be appropriate for answering the…
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. In 2017, a website reported that only 10% of surplus food is being recovered in the food-service and restaurant sector, leaving approximately 1.5 billion meals per year uneaten. Assume this is the true population proportion and that you plan to take a sample survey of 515 companies in the food service and restaurant sector to further investigate their behavior. (a) Show the sampling distribution of p, the proportion of food recovered by your sample respondents. -0.03 -0.02 -0.01 0.00 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.07 0.08 0.09 0.10 0.11 0.12 0.13 -0.02 -0.01 0.00 0.01 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.05 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 (b) What is the probability that your survey will provide a sample proportion within ±0.03 of the population proportion?

One cable company advertises that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will be there within 30 minutes of when a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not the truth, claiming that it takes over 30 minutes for the cable repairman to arrive. The customer asks 15 of his neighbors how long it has taken for the cable repairman to arrive when they have called for him. The sample mean for this group is 32.2 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 3.6 minutes. Test the customer’s claim at the 0.02 level of significance. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses (b) Find the value of your test statistic. Draw a picture and label its location on the normal curve. Also shade the area where you will find the p-value. (c) Calculate the p-value from the sample data. Compare it to the significance level. Label it’s value and location on your bell curve (d) Write a full…

According to the Census Bureau, the distribution by ethnic background of the New York City population in a recent year was Hispanic: 28% Black: 24% White: 35% Asian: 12% Others: 1% The manager of a large housing complex in the city wonders whether the distribution by race of the complex’s residents is consistent with the population distribution. To find out, she records data from random sample of 800 residents. The table below displays the sample data. Race Hispanic Black White Asian Others Count 212 202 270 94 22 Are these data significantly different from the city’s distribution by race? Carry out an appropriate test at the ? = 0.05 level of significance to support your answer. State the null and alternate hypotheses (write it mathematically) and write your claim.

A governmental agency computed the proportion of violent crimes in the United States in a particular year falling into each of four categories. A simple random sample of 500 violent crimes committed in California during that year were categorized in the same way. The following table presents the results. Category U.S.Proportion CaliforniaFrequency Murder 0.018 4 Forcible Rape 0.07 35 Robbery 0.390 218 Aggravated Assault 0.522 243 Can you conclude that the proportions of crimes in the various categories in California differ from those in the United States as a whole? Use the 0.05 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. (b) Find the P-value. Round the answer to at least four decimal places.
