A professor of marketing studied how people attempt to influence the choices of others by offering undesirable alternatives. Such a phenomenon typically occurs when family members propose a vacation spot, friends recommend a restaurant for dinner, and realtors show the buyer potential homesites. In one phase of the study, the researcher had each of 127 college students select showroom displays for portable grills. Five different displays (representing five different-sized grills) were available, but only four would be selected. The students were instructed to select the displays to maximize purchases of Grill #2 (a smaller grill). Recall that students selected four portable grill displays to be compared from an offering of five different grill displays. Complete parts a through c below. a. Use a counting rule to count the number of ways the four displays can be selected from the five available displays to form a four-grill-display combination. There are different ways that the displays can be selected.

Practice question #1. Researchers at the University of Utah carried out a study to see if the size of the fork used to eat dinner influences how much food is consumed. The researchers assigned people to one of two groups. One group ate dinner using a small fork, and the other group ate using a large fork. The researchers found that thatthose who ate with a large fork ate less food on their plate than those who ate with a small fork. An articledescribing this study was called “Dieters Should Use a Big Fork”, implying cause-and-affect andgeneralizing this finding to the population of dieters. A. Under what circumstances would it be reasonable to conclude a cause-and-effect relationship between fork size and amount eaten? B. Under what circumstances would it be reasonable to generalize this finding to the population of dieters? Why is it often NOT appropriate to generalize the results of experiments to a wider population?
The U.S. Department of Transportation reported that during November, 83.4% of Southwest Airlines' flights, 75.1% of US Airways' flights, and 70.1% of JetBlue's flights arrived on time (USA Today, January 4, 2007). Assume that this on-time performance is applicable for flights arriving at concourse A of the Rochester International Airport, and that 40% of the arrivals at concourse Aare Southwest Airlines flights, 35% are US Airways flights, and 25% are jetBlue flights. a) Deveiop a joint probability table with three rows (airlines) and two
For an experiment on influencing the choices of others by offering undesirable alternatives, each of 103 college students selected three portable grills from five to display on a showroom floor. The students were instructed to include Grill #2 (a smaller-sized grill) and select the remaining two grills in the display to maximize purchases of Grill #2. If the six possible grill display combinations (1-2-3, 1-2-4, 1-2-5, 2-3-4, 2-3-5, and 2-4-5) were selected at random, then the proportion of students selecting any display was 1/6=0.167. One theory tested by the researcher was that the students would tend to choose the three-grill display so that Grill #2 was a compromise between a more desirable and a less desirable grill(that is, display 1-2-3, 1-2-4, or 1-2-5). Of the 103 students, 57 selected a three-grill display that was consistent with this theory. Use this information to test the theory proposed by the researcher at α=0.01. 1. Identify the test statistic, z.…
Scenario 3. A researcher creates a new program for college students to reduce feelings of loneliness and enhance students' engagement on campus. This new program helps students to find student groups and clubs that fit their interests. She randomly assigns students to either enroll in this new program (the experimental group) or to not enroll in the program (the control group). She compares students' feelings of engagement between the two groups, and expects that engagement will be higher among the students that are in the program. What is the most appropriate test statistic to use to test the hypothesis in scenario 3? A) z-test B) z-score C) Independent samples t-Test D) Correlation Coefficient E) One-way ANOVA F) Dependent samples t-Test G) Factor Analysis H) Structural Equation Model What is the null hypothesis for scenario 3? A) H0: engagement in the experimental group ≤ engagement in the control group B) H0 : engagement in the experimental group = engagement in the control…
Example 1: The owner of a local restaurant chain in town was trying to determine the best location to open her next restaurant and she had narrowed it down to two locations. She wanted to make her decision based on how interested residents in each area were in her restaurant. So she hired an independent company to survey residents from each neighborhood to gauge their interest. In the first neighborhood, 120 residents were surveyed and 84 of them expressed interest in the new restaurant. In the second neighborhood, 200 residents were surveyed and 110 of them expressed interest in the new restaurant. Carry out an appropriate hypothesis test at the a = 0.02 level to determine if there is sufficient evidence to suggest that one neighborhood is more interested in the new restaurant than the other.
According to a Gallup poll in October 2015, having young children at home greatly influences whether women in the U.S. prefer to stay at home or work outside of it. More than half of women, 56%, who have a child younger than 18 would ideally like to stay home and care for their house and family, while 58% of those without young children would rather work outside the home. Having young children makes little difference in men's preferences, with close to three-quarters preferring to work regardless of their parenting status. Gallup states that their method has a margin of error of 0.031.(a) Give a point estimate for the proportion of all US women with a child under 18 that would like to stay at home.(b) Give an interval estimate for the proportion of all US women with a child under 18 that would like to stay at home. Use three decimal places in your answer.( , )(c) What is the difference between a point estimate and an interval estimate?
Suppose you are the manager of two beachfront hotels : The Palms and Golden Sands. You'd like to know if there is a difference in guest satisfaction between the two hotels. To investigate this, you conduct a survey and ask guests upon departure if they are likely to return to the hotel in the future. For The Palms, 163 out of 227 guests who were surveyed responded " yes ". For Golden Sands, 154 out of 262 guests responded "yes ". Answer the following questions. Round any numbers in your final answers to 2 decimals. 1) Calculate a 95 % confidence interval for the difference in satisfaction rates between The Palms and Golden Sands (Show work) 2) Use the critical value approach to test, at a 1% significance level, whether or not the guest satisfaction rates are different between the two hotels. What do you conclude ? (In your answer, show the steps involved with testing) 3) What is the p-value of your test in part 2?
At LLD Records, some of the market research of college students is done during promotions on college campuses, while other market research of college students is done through anonymous mail, phone, internet, and record store questionnaires. In all cases, the company solicits an "intent-to-purchase" score from the student, with 0 being the lowest score ("no intent to purchase") and 100 being the highest score ("full intent to purchase"). The manager finds the following information for 150 intent-to-purchase scores for a soon-to-be-released CD: Sample Sample Sample size Group mean variance On campus 30 64.5 68.9 By mail 30 63.0 77.1 By phone 30 62.8 125.1 By internet 30 62.3 106.0 In a store 30 68.2 85.9 Send data to calculator Send data to Excel Suppose that the five populations of scores from which these samples were drawn are approximately normally distributed and have the same mean and the same variance. Answer the following, carrying your intermediate computations to at least three…
A basketball coach is interested in determining if shooting free throws underhand is better than shooting them using the overhead method. He has four high school teams (two boys' teams and two girls' teams, with 13 players on each team) available to take part in an experiment. He believes that the difference in shooting percentages will vary more for boys than for girls. He randomly chooses and instructs half of the boys to continue shooting free throws overhead and the rest of the boys to shoot underhand. He does the same for the girls. At the end of a six-game summer league, he compares the shooting percentages for the overhead shooting boys to the underhand shooting boys and the overhead shooting girls to the underhand shooting girls. (a) What is the advantage of using a block design for this study? O Blocking by gender will reduce the variation in the response variable by creating homogeneous groups and determining the effect of the new shooting style on the response (percentage of…
Cable TV choices: A telecommunications company provided its cable TV subscribers with free access to a new sports channel for a period of 1 month. It then chose a sample of 404 television viewers and asked them whether they would be willing to pay an extra $10 per month to continue to access the channel. A total of 35 of the 404 replied that they would be willing to pay. The marketing director of the company claims that the percentage of all of its subscribers who would pay for the channel differs from 6%. Can you conclude that the director's claim is true?

Researchers were interested in how social situations can influence stress-induced eating. They grouped participants according to self-reported stress-induced eating habits: consistently eating more (hyperphagics) or eating less (hypophagics) when stressed. Each participant was then exposed to one of three social situations: (1) a social inclusion condition, where subjects were told that a confederate partner had approved of a video they had made answering some questions and was looking forward to meeting them, (2) a neutral condition, where they were told their partners could not meet them because their partners had to cancel their participation, or (3) a social exclusion condition, where they were told that their partner had decided not to meet them after viewing their video. Subjects were then given an ice cream taste test and the amount of ice cream consumed was measured. Question: How many factors are in this scenario?
A market researcher wants to determine whether a new model of a personal computer that had been advertised on a late-night talk show had achieved more brand-name recognition among people who watched the show regularly than among people who did not. After conducting a survey, it was found that 12% of all people both watched the show regularly and could correctly identify the product. Also, 13% of all people regularly watched the show and 39% of all people could correctly identify the product. Define a pair of random variables as shown below. Complete parts (a) through (c). X=1 if regularly watch the show Y=1 if product correctly identified a. Find the joint probability function of X and Y X 0 1 (Do not round.) 0 X=0 otherwise Y=0 otherwise 1 CLLL 2 xdex ram
