An advertisement firm is making a new marketing strategy and selling rates are being considered. Samples of selling rates are taken from both theexisting strategy (A) and the new strategy (B) to determine if the new marketing strategy results in an improvement. If 800 of 3200 items were beingsold with the existing strategy, and 365 of 1400 items are being sold with the new one. We want to test that whether the new strategy is superior tothe existing one. According to the hypothesis testing, what is the correct hypothesis along with its result at 90% confidence level?
Show that the estimator of Exercise 21 is consistent.
In a study of purchasing behavior at a small shop, it was found that if a purchase was more than $5, the customer will pay with a credit card with a probablity of 0.85. If the purchase was $5 or less then the customer will pay with a credit card with a probablity of 0.6. The probablity that purchase is more than $5 is 0.81. What is the probablity that a customer will pay with a credit card? B) A customer did not pay with a credit card. What is the probablity that the purchase was less than $5?
In a survey of 1000 adult Americans, 45.7% indicated that they were somewhat interested or very interested in having web access in their cars. Suppose that the marketing manager of a car manufacturer claims that the 45.7% is based only on a sample and that 45.7% is close to half, so there is no reason to believe that the proportion of all adult Americans who want car web access is less than 0.50. Is the marketing manager correct in his claim? Provide statistical evidence to support your answer. For purposes of this exercise, assume that the sample can be considered as representative of adult Americans. Test the relevant hypotheses using ? = 0.05. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z= P-value= chose the conclusion in the context of the problem. a) Reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the proportion of all adult Americans who want car web access is less than 0.5. The marketing…
In soccer, serious fouls result in a penalty kick with one kicker and one defending goalkeeper. The accompanying table summarizes results from 295 kicks during games among top teams. In the table, jump direction indicates which way the goalkeeper jumped, where the kick direction is from the perspective of the goalkeeper. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the direction of the kick is independent of the direction of the goalkeeper jump. Do the results support the theory that because the kicks are so fast, goalkeepers have no time to react, so the directions of their jumps are independent of the directions of the kicks? Goalkeeper Jump Left Center Right Kick to Left 59 3 37 Kick to Center 42 8 31 Kick to Right 47 5 63
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
In the Spring and Summer of 2020, mass protests erupted across the US in response to police violence against African Americans. At the same time, the US was experiencing a COVID-19 pandemic. Many public health experts wondered whether participating in these protests (exposure) would be associated with being diagnosed with COVID-19 (outcome). Imagine you have been hired to draft a plan to study this potential association. Which study design would you choose? (Almost any design is okay). Explain the factors that influenced why you selected that one. Include some of the benefits/drawbacks of your selected study design and the benefits/drawbacks of the study designs you did not select. Write your research question and make a hypothesis about the results. Briefly describe how you would conduct your study, including Recruitment strategy and a number of participants (Be sure you have people in all 4 boxes of the 2x2 table!) Measure of association to be used (RR/OR) Potential confounding…
10) A market research firm was evaluating the effectiveness of including a gift card in a survey as a method for increasing survey response rate. In a recent survey mailed to 400 young adults aged 18 – 24, 400 surveys included a $10 gift card from MacDonald’s while the other 600 were sent without the gift card. a) State the Hypothesis to show if including a gift card in the survey increased the response rate. b) The Gift Card worksheet in the data below (either Returned or Did not return) of the survey for the 400 young adults aged 18 – 24 who received a $10 gift card and the 600 who did not. Use JMP software to test the hypothesis of part a). c) Using alpha = 0.05, draw a conclusion for the hypothesis test and state the problem in the context of the solution.

An urban comminity would like to show that the incidence of breast cancer is higher in their area than in a nearby rural area. If it is found that 20 out of 200 adult women in the urban comminity have breast cancer and 20 of 300 adult women in the rural community have breast cancer, can we conclude at the 0.025 level of 1 significance that breast cancer is more prevalent in the urban comminity?
A recent survey conducted by Gallup (an analytic and advice firm) estimated that 50% of students in Massachusetts prefer learning full-time in person, while the remaining 50% prefer a full-time remote or a hybrid arrangement. Suppose we assume that, among UCI students, the proportion of those who prefer learning full-time in person instruction is the same as that estimated by Gallup for Massachusetts. We interview a random sample of 70 USC students regarding their preferences over full-time in person versus remote/hybrid instruction. a. Under our assumption that the preferences of USC students are the same as those estimated by Gallup for Massachusetts, what is the exact distribution of the number of interviewed students who prefer full-time in person instruction over remote/hybrid arrangements? b. Under our assumption that the preferences of UCI students are the same as those estimated by Gallup for Massachusetts, what is the exact probability that the number of interviewed students…
