A random sampling of chicken in supermarkets revealed that approximately 70% was contaminated with an organism. Of the contaminated chicken, 20% had the strain that is resistant to antibiotics. Construct a relative frequency distribution showing the following outcomes when chicken is purchased at a supermarket: U: the chicken is not infected with the organism; C: the chicken is infected with the nonresistant organism; R: the chicken is infected with the resistant organism.

A researcher wants to determine if the exam scores of the students are dependent on the length of time spent in studying the subject. Ten students in a certain class were taken and the results are shown in the table below where X is the time spent in studying the subject in hours and Y is the examination scores.If a test for the significance of r is conducted, using 5% level of significance ,what is the value of the t statistic?
A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Five hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. Calculate the predictive value of a positive test.
The home run percentage is the number of home runs per 100 times at bat. A random sample of 43 professional baseball players gave the following data for home run percentages.
Bighorn sheep are beautiful wild animals found throughout the western United States. Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information: x 1 2 3 4 5 y 15.8 17.3 14.4 19.6 20.0 Σx = 15; Σy = 87.1; Σx2 = 55; Σy2 = 1,540.45; Σxy = 272 (a) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line.

A pharmaceutical company makes tranquilizers. It is assumed that the distribution for the length of time they last is approximately normal. Researchers in a hospital used the drug on a random sample of 9 patients. The effective period of the tranquilizer for each patient (in hours) was as follows: 2.5; 2.8; 3.1; 2.3; 2.3; 2.2; 2.8; 2.1; and 2.4. 1.Which distribution should you use for this problem?

A researcher finds 1000 mildly overweight women who exercise regularly, have not had a heart attack, and are willing to participate in the study. She randomly assigns 500 of the women to take an appetite suppressant. The other 500 women are given a placebo. Both groups are followed for five years, and the amount of weight lost after this time is recorded. The response variable in the experiment is: a. the use of a control group taking a placebo. b. the length of the study. c. the weight lost by women in the study. d. the treatment taken by women in the study—appetite suppressant or placebo.
