A rental car company offers three types of vehicles (compact, mid-size, and full-size).Based on prior customer data, the company knows that:35% of customers choose a compact vehicle. 45% of customers choose a mid-size vehicle. Among those who drive a long distance (more than 100 miles), one-sixth of thosecustomers choose a compact vehicle. Among those who choose a full-size vehicle, three-fifths of those customers drive ashort distance (less than 100 miles). 24% of customers drive a long distance.(a) What is the probability that a customer chooses a full-size vehicle anddrives long-distance?(b) If a customer does not choose a mid-size vehicle, find the probability thatthey will drive a short distance.

The rabies vaccine for dogs can save your dog's life. If your dog bites another animal or is on the receiving end of a bite, the vaccine can protect them from a dangerous and potentially fatal illness. Furthermore, in most places, the rabies vaccine for dogs is legally required. The NYC Department of Health wants to know if LESS than 95% of the dogs in the city have been vaccinated with their rabies vaccine. 158,045 of the 165,000 dogs examined had their rabies shots. Risk no more than 5% Type I error. . What is the Z CRIT? A + 1.96 B + 1.645 C - 1.96 D - 1.645
Suppose that in a survey of 1,000 U.S. residents, 721 residents believed that the amount of violent television programming had increased over the past 10 years, 454 residents believed that the overall quality of television programming had decreased over the past 10 years, and 362 residents believed both. What proportion of the 1,000 U.S. residents believed that either the amount of violent programming had increased or the overall quality of programming had decreased over the past 10 years? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
The U.S. Census Bureau serves as the leading source of quantitative data about the na- tion's people and economy. The following crosstabulation shows the number of house- holds (1000s) and the household income by the highest level of education for the head of household (U.S. Census Bureau website, 2013). Only households in which the head has a high school diploma or more are included.
A gym wishes to evaluate the effectiveness of its programs. When a new member joins the gym, they meet with a trainer who designs a recommended routine based on the member’s current fitness and their goals. The recommended routines can be classified into high, medium, or low effort. Historically, 68% of the new members get a high effort routine, 21% get a medium effort routine, and the rest get a low effort routine. After the first six months as members, the gym surveys the members’ adherence to the recommended routine. The gym classifies a member’s performance as optimal if they follow the recommended routine for the six months, or as inferior otherwise. According to the historical results of the survey, 84% of the members with a low effort routine, 22% of the members with a medium effort routine, and 69% of the members with a high effort routine report optimal performance. After the first six months of joining the gym, a member can obtain different results: they can either…
The Bureau of Transportation reports on-time performance for airlines at major airports. JetBlue, United, and US Airways share Terminal C and Boston's Logan Airport. The percentage of on-time flights reported for a sample month were 76.8% for JetBlue, 71.5% for United, and 82.2% for US Airways. Assume that 30% of the arriving flights at this terminal are JetBlue flights, 32% are United flights, and 38% are US Airways flights. a. Develop a contingency table (table of joint probabilities and marginal probabilities). b. An announcement is made that Flight 1382 will arrive at Terminal C. What is the probability that the flight will arrive on time? c. Flight 1382 arrives on time. What is the probability that Flight 1382 is operated by US Airways? d. Flight 1382 will not arrive on time. What is the probability that Flight 1382 is operated by United?

A campus researcher wanted to investigate the factors that affect visitor travel time in a complex, multilevel building on campus. Specifically, he wanted to determine whether different building signs (building maps versus wall signage) affect the total amount of time visitors require to reach their destination and whether that time depends on whether the starting location is inside or outside the building. Three subjects were assigned to each of the combinations of signs and starting locations, and travel time in seconds from beginning to destination was recorded. How should the data be analyzed? Wall Signs Map Starting Room Interior 141, 119, 238 85, 94, 126 Randomized block design O Completely randomized design 2 x 2 factorial design Levene's test Exterior 224, 339, 139 226, 129, 130
A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.
