A number of minor automobile accidents occur at various high-risk intersections in Teton County despite traffic lights. The Traffic Department claims that a modification in the type of light will reduce these accidents. The county commissioners have agreed to a proposed experiment. Eight intersections were chosen at random, and the lights at those intersections were modified. The numbers of minor accidents during a six-month period before and after the modifications were: Intersection # Accidents Before Modification # Accidents After Modification 4 7 3 6 5 5 3 7 7 At the .01 sigmificance level, is it reasonable to conclude that the modification reduced the number of traffic accidents?

For the three-part question that follows, provide your answer to each question in the given workspace. Identify each part with a coordinating response. Be sure to clearly label each part of your response as Part A, Part B, and Part C.Part A: What is the term for a generalization made about a population using the data from a sample?Part B: Name one challenge that may occur when using a sample to draw a conclusion about a population.Part C: A researcher collects data about the annual salary of employees who work in the information technology field. It would be difficult to survey all employees, so a sample of the population is surveyed. The data is recorded below. Use the table to write one conclusion that can be drawn. Explain why this conclusion is valid. Salary Range (Per Year) Number of Employees $50,000-$59,999 147 $60,000-$69,999 159 $70,000-$79,999 225 $80,000-$89,999 27

During 2012 Texas had listed on FracFocus an industry fracking During 2012, Texas had listed on FracFocus, an industry fracking disclosure site, nearly 6,000 oil and gas wells in which the fracking methodology was used to extract natural gas. Fontenot et al. (2013) reports on a study of 100 private water wells in or near the Barnett Shale in Texas. There were 91 private wells located within 5 km of an active gas well using fracking, 4 private wells with no gas wells located within a 14 km radius, and 5 wells outside of the Barnett Shale with no gas well located with a 60 km radius. They found that there were elevated levels of potential contaminants such as arsenic and selenium in the 91 wells closest to natural gas extraction sites compared to the 9 wells that were at least 14 km away from an active gas well using the £ racking technique to extract natural gas. a. Identify the population that is of interest to the researchers. b. Describe the sample. c. What…

From the given scenario, define the population proportion. In 2019, a national survey organization asked the question "Do you go on more than two vacations per year?" to a random sample of 2,000 Americans. 580 responded "Yes", while the other 1,420 people responded "No". Group of answer choices: A) the proportions of the sampled Americans who go on more than two vacations per year B) the proportion of all Americans who go on more than two vacations per year C) the 1,420 people who responded "No" D) the 2,000 Americans
Wegman’s (a food market chain) has developed a new store-brand brownie mix. Before they start selling the mix they want to compare how well people like their brownies to brownies made from a popular national brand mix. In order to see if there was any difference in consumer opinion, Wegman’s asked 124 shoppers to participate in a taste test. Each was given a brownie to try. Subjects were not told which kind of brownie they got—that was determined randomly. 58% of the 62 shoppers who tasted a Wegman’s brownie said liked it well enough to buy the mix, compared to 66% of the others who said they would be willing to buy the national brand. Does this result indicate that consumer interest in the Wegman’s mix is lower than for the national brand?

A restaurant chain specializing in ice cream deserts contacted you to characterize the market for new franchise locations in Upstate NY. The firm is located in the Southwestern US, and has excellent experience there. However, they are opening a few test locations in Buffalo, Syracuse and Albany in the very near future, and have hired you, an Upstate NY statistical consultant, to collect and analyze the results. These restaurants follow a standard blueprint for design, operation, and location. They run a 2,150 sq foot facility in wealthier suburban areas, and usually locate in new plazas near other specialty restaurants that tend not to compete with them (Starbucks, Panera, Fridays, and similar restaurants.) Existing Southwestern locations take in an average of $82,000 a week in sales, with a highly reliable standard deviation of $5,200. Before deciding on their regional distribution strategy, the firm is opening three test restaurants, one in each city. They want you to examine the…
