A CBS News poll conducted June 10 and 11, 2006, among a nationwide random sample of 651 adults, asked those adults about their party affiliation (Democrat, Republican or none) and their opinion of how the US economy was changing ("getting better," "getting worse" or "about the same"). The results are shown in the table below. better same worse Republican 38 104 44 Democrat 12 87 137 none 21 90 118 Express your answers as a decimal and round to the nearest 0.001 (in other words, type 0.123, not 12.3% or 0.123456). If we randomly select one of the adults who participated in this study, compute: P(Republican) P(better) - P(better | Republican) = P(Republican | better) = P(Republican and better)

A researcher is interested in the relationship between age and golf performance. The researcher claims that golf performance improves with age, that is, as one gets older, his or her golf scores decrease. [In golf, a low score represents better performance; a higher score represents worse performance.] The researcher randomly selects a group of eight golfers at the local golf course and records their ages and their most recent golf score. The data that were collected are presented below: Golfer's Name Diego Tiger Bogart Marilyn Jennifer Mitch Bubba Amber Age (years) Variable 1 23 14 38 43 49 36 72 Golf Score Variable 2 92 112 77 84 81 72 79 86 Which of the following are the correct statements of the null and alternate hypotheses, Ho and HA?

Does the background music affect the behavior of supermarket shoppers? An experiment to answer this question was conducted in a supermarket during the relatively stable summer shopping months. Two days were selected in midweek. One day was assigned to receive no background music. During the second day slow-tempo background music was played. The daily sales (in dollars) for twelve weeks are shown in the accompanying table. None Slow tempo $15,172 $15,917 15,485 16,110 13,922 13,818 12,204 14,709 15,501 13,982 14,106 16,416 14,608 14,727 12,946 14,823 15,002 14,825 14,670 15,949 16,202 15,488 13,286 13,055 Estimate the difference in the actual average daily sales between no-music days versus slow-tempo days using a 95% confidence interval. Does the data suggest that, on the average, background music positively affects daily sales? Show all necessary work.

A researcher is interested in determining if there is a relationship between handedness and penmanship. To study this question, the researcher submitted samples from 100 students to penmanship experts. The samples were rated to be of low, medium or high penmanship quality. The observed frequencies were totaled according to left verses right handedness. Penmanship Handedness low medium high Left 8 29 6 right 9 37 11 Which test is appropriate for this data? Why? Calculate row, column and table totals. State the null and alternative hypothesis. What is the degree of freedom? What is the value of the test statistic? What is the p-value? Are the data statistically significant at the 5% significance level? Do you recognize any flaws in this study
Political parties want to know what groups of people support them. The General Social Survey (GSS) asked its 2014 sample, "Generally speaking, do you usually think of yourself as a Republican, Democrat, Independent, or what?" The GSS is essentially an SRS of American adults. The large two‑way table provided breaks down the responses by the highest degree the subject held. None High School Jr. College Bachelor Graduate Strong Democrat 53 198 23 81 64 Not strong Democrat 52 204 31 70 49 Independent, near Democrat 40 163 26 66 42 Independent 118 251 36 67 30 Independent, near Republican 24 136 19 45 2525 Not strong Republican 19 142 30 71 30 Strong Republican 18 131 15 53 28 Other party 5 31 3 15 8 Use the four‑step process and the full table of counts to analyze the differences in political party support among levels of education.
