A farmer sows 100 seeds of a new type of corn and wants to quickly determine the yield, or total number of ears of corn, for the crop when it has matured. He decides to take a simple random sample of the crop by using a random digit table. What is the fewest number of digits that should be used, given that there are 100 plants in total? 1 2 3 4

A bag of candy contains 5 different types of colored candies; red, green, blue, yellow, and orange. According to the manufacturer, bags should contain an equal number of each color. Students in a statistics class decided to use a chi-square procedure to test the manufacturer’s claim. They opened a bag of candy and recorded the number of candies of each color. The results are shown in the following table. Red Green Blue Yellow Orange 17 24 20 25 14 Which color contributes most to the chi-square test statistic? Red A Green B Blue C Yellow D Orange

A biologist is studying the composition of birds on a lake and counts 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons. From previous studies performed around the same time of the year, she expects 50% of the birds to be ducks, 23% to be geese, 12% to be cranes, 10% to be swans, and 5% to be herons. What are the expected and observed counts? Select one. Expected = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Expected = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Observed 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons %3D Expected = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons %3D %3D Expected = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons
Basketball players can take shots worth 3 points, 2 points, or 1 point. A scout is assessing two players- Tabitha and Lauren-who play for different teams in different leagues. The scout wonders if they have similar or different shot selections. They take a random sample of Tabitha's games and a separate random sample of Lauren's games. They tally how many of each type of shot the players attempted in those games. Here is a summary and the results of a chi-square test: Chi-square test: Shot vs. player Tabitha Lauren 3-point 8 12 Expected 10.34 9.66 2-point 40 37 Expected 39.83 37.17 1-point 12 Expected 9.83 9.17 x² = 2.097, DF = 2, P-value = 0.350 %3D Assume that all conditions for inference were met. At the a = 0.05 significance level, what is the most appropriate conclusion to draw from this test? Choose 1 answer: This is convincing evidence that the distribution of shot type differs between Tabitha and Lauren.
You gather data from two local churches about the average offering (a monetary donation to the church)that is collected at a weekly service. You want to see whether the average offering given at one churchis the same as the average offering at another church. The number of people who attend Church 1 is201, and the average amount offered is $12.50. The number of people who attend Church 2 is 350, andthe average amount offered is $11.87. The sample standard deviations for Church 1 and Church 2 are$3.15 and $4.57, respectively. (a) What is the hypothesis you want to test? (b) Calculate the test statistic and test your hypothesis at the 95 and 99 percent confidence levels. (c) Pretend that the sample means and standard deviations remain the same, but that the numberof people sampled at Church 2 was 201 instead of 350. Does your test-statistic change? Does the critical value change?

A firm randomly surveys 300 people out of the 3,000 people who have shopped in the store (only one location) in the last month and bought something. They are trying to determine how many people bought more than three items. The firm made sure that 50% were males and 50% were females. They found that 91 people bought more than three items and 209 bought three or less items. Which value represents the population? 3,000 300 91 Question 10 From the previous question what was the sample? 3000 300 O 91
A manufacturing plant makes computer chips 24 hours a day. Employees work one of three, 8 hour shifts during the morning (2am-10am), day (10am-6pm), and night (6pm-2am). Below are data on the number of defective chips on a randomly chosen 24 hour period. Shift Morning Day Night Number of Defective Chips 23 26 47 Total Chips Manufactured 330 330 330 The plant manager thinks there might be more defective computer chips manufactured during the night shift compared to the day shift. Give appropriate statistical evidence to test the managers' claim.
