A random sample of 25 computer programmers was selected to compare two full-screen-edit intelligent terminals, one manufactured by vendor A and the other by vendor B. After working with the two types of terminals, each programmer was asked to choose the terminal that he or she preferred. Let y be the number of sampled programmers who prefer the terminal manufactured by vendor A. is y a binomial random variable? If the two terminals are, in fact, identical, then p=0.5. Find p(y³19) If observe y=19, what would you infer about the true value of p?

In a study to compare two different methods of teaching reading, a class of 20 children was divided into two groups at random. Each group was taught reading using one method. After six months the two groups were given the same test. One pupil in the first group was ill and missed the test. The scores are given below.Method 1 80 85 79 81 89 73 50 71 76Method 2 79 62 75 68 62 73 76 81 73 61(a) Calculate the extreme values and the quartiles for each group.

High levels of cholesterol in the blood are associated with higher risk of heart attacks. Will using a drug to lower blood cholesterol reduce heart attacks? The Helsinki Heart Study recruited middle-aged men with high cholesterol but no history of other serious medical problems to investigate this question. The volunteer subjects were assigned at random to one of two treatments: 2051 men took the drug gemfibrozil to reduce their cholesterol levels, and a control group of 2030 men took a placebo. During the next five years, 56 men in the gemfibrozil group and 84 men in the placebo group had heart attacks. Is the apparent benefit of gemfibrozil statistically significant? Using the p-value that you get from your previous z-test statistic, would you conclude that gemfibrozil is probably effective?

A car dealer is interested in comparing the average gas mileages of four different car models. The dealer believes that the average gas mileage of a particular car will vary depending on the person who is driving the car due to different driving styles. Because of this, he decides to use a randomized block design. He randomly selects five drivers and asks them to drive each of the cars. He then determines the average gas mileage for each car and each driver. Can the dealer conclude that there is a significant difference in average gas mileages of the four car models? The results of the study are as follows.

The representative's belief is based on the results of a survey. The survey included a random sample of 11601160 southern residents and 12601260 midwestern residents. 43%43% of the southern residents and 56%56% of the midwestern residents reported that they were completely satisfied with their local telephone service. Find the 80%80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions. Step 3 of 3 : Construct the 80%80% confidence interval. Round your answers to three decimal places.

Xu and Garcia (2008)conducted a research study demonstrating that 8-month-old infants appear to recognize which samples are likely to be obtained from a population and which are not. In the study, the infants watched as a sample of n = 5 ping-pong balls was selected from a large box. In one condition, the sample consisted of 1 red ball and 4 white balls. After the sample was selected, the front panel of the box was removed to reveal the contents. In the expected condition, the box contained primarily white balls like the sample, and the infants looked at it for an average of M = 7.5 seconds. In the unexpected condition, the box had primarily red balls, unlike the sample, and the infants looked at it for M = 9.9. The researchers interpreted the results as demonstrating that the infants found the unexpected result surprising and, therefore, more interesting than the expected result. Assuming that the standard error for both means is σM = 1 second, draw a bar graph showing the two sample…
An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint, with similar designs. Since Fundash was built on rougher terrain, the designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is greater than the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 205 Fundash runners and 260 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as independent random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 205 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 8.2 minutes. The 260 individuals complete Coolsprint with a mean time of 76.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 7.7 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, u,, of Fundash is greater than…

A local school board believes there is a 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 38 households respond yes. They survey a random sample of 45 households that do not have school-aged children, and 25 respond yes. Let p3= the true proportion of households with school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week early and pw= the true proportion of households without school-aged children that would support starting the school year a week earlier. The P-value for this significance test is 0.000034. Which of the following is the correct conclusion for this test of the hypotheses Ho: P;- Pw=0 and H, P,- Pw0 at the a =…
In the journal Mental Retardation, an article reported the results of a peer tutoring program to help mildly mentally retarded children learn to read. In the experiment, the mildly retarded children were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group received peer tutoring along with regular instruction, and the control group received regular instruction with no peer tutoring. There were n1 = n2 = 30 children in each group. The Gates-MacGintie Reading Test was given to both groups before instruction began. For the experimental group, the mean score on the vocabulary portion of the test was x1 = 344.5, with sample standard deviation s1 = 49.7. For the control group, the mean score on the same test was x2 = 354.0, with sample standard deviation s2 = 50.5. Use a 5% level of significance to test the hypothesis that there was no difference in the vocabulary scores of the two groups before the instruction began. (a) What is the level of significance? What is the value of the…
