A group of marketing researchers for a popular cell phone manufacturer collected the following information about young adults (aged 18–25): 1% use a cell phone that is 3 years or older, 2% use a cell phone that is 2–3 years old, 20% use a cell phone that is 1–2 years old, and 77% use a cell phone that is less than 1 year old. Suppose a young adult was selected at random. Let X equal the age of a randomly selected person’s cell phone. Which of the following is the probability distribution for the age of that person’s cell phone?

Suppose you are interested in buying a new Lincoln Navigator or Town Car. You are standing on the sales lot looking at a model with different options. The list price is on the vehicle. As a salesperson approaches, you wonder what the dealer invoice price is for this model with its options. The following data are based on a random selection of these cars of different models and options. Let y be the dealer invoice (in thousands of dollars) for the given vehicle. x 32.4 32.9 36.1 44.0 47.8 y 30.4 31.0 32.0 42.1 42.2 (b) Use a 10% level of significance to test the claim that ρ > 0.

. In a study to investigate the effect of regular physical exercise on the reduction of high blood pressure in males aged 60-65, the researchers selected at random a sample of n₁ =12 males suffering from high blood pressure in the given a 12ge group and for a two-year period placed the subjects on a daily physical exercise program. A second sample of n₂ =12 males suffering from high blood pressure in the given age group was selected and again for the two-year period this group of subjects were placed on a physical exercise program for which they were required to perform only once a week. Finally a third sample of n3 =12 males suffering from high blood pressure in the given age group was selected. No exercise program was required for individuals in sample three. At the end of the two-year period the reduction in blood pressure was measured for each of the subjects in the study and is presented in the table on the next page. Table V.1: Reduction in Blood pressure for three groups of…
A manufacturing company that produces laminate for countertops is interested in studying the relationship between the number of hours of training that an employee receives and the number of defects per countertop produced. Ten employees are randomly selected. The number of hours of training each employee has received is recorded and the number of defects on the most recent countertop produced is determined. The results are as follows. Hours of Training Defects per Countertop 1 5 4 1 7 0 3 3 2 5 2 4 5 1 5 2 1 8 6 2 Copy Data The estimated regression line and the standard error are given. Defects per Countertop=6.717822−1.004950(Hours of Training)se=1.229787se=1.229787 Suppose a new employee has had 5 hours of training. What would be the 90% prediction interval for the number of defects per countertop? Round your answer to two decimal places.
The table below gives the two-way classification of 400 randomly selected persons based on their status as a smoker or a nonsmoker and on the number of visits they made to their physicians last year.

A local school board wants to estimate the difference in the proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier, and the proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier. They survey a random sample of 40 households with school-aged children about whether they would support starting the school year a week earlier, and 30 households respond yes. They survey a random sample of 45 households that do not have school-aged children, and 25 respond yes. Assuming the conditions for inference have been met, what is the 90% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of households that would support starting the school year a week earlier? Find the z-table here. 0.75(1-0.75), 0.56(1-0.56) O (0.75 - 0.56) ±1.65 45 40 0.75(1-0.75) 0.56(1-0.56) O (0.75 - 0.56) ±1.96, 85 85 O (0.75 - 0.56) ±1.65, 0.75(1-0.75) 0.56(1-0.56) + 40 45 O (0.75 - 0.56) ±1.96 0.75(1-0.75)…
