A scientific study was conducted to determine the hours of sleep that college students get per night. The study surveyed 33 college students and obtained the following data: 7.8, 8.1, 5.9, 7.1, 6.9, 8.5, 7.8, 6.2, 6.2, 7.2, 7.1, 7.3, 6.4, 8.3, 7.9, 6.6, 7.4, 6.8, 6.7, 7.2, 5.6, 8.3, 6.6, 6, 5, 7.7, 7, 6.6, 7.8, 6.3, 7.8, 6.3, 7.1 Construct a 87% confidence interval for the average hours of sleep per night that college students get. 7.015152 S = .837825 0.065 to 1.910985 Margine of Error: E 0.278711 We are 87% confident that college students get an average of between 6.736441 hours and 7.293862 x hours of sleep per night.

A transportation engineer at OSU conducts a study on bus ridership to the 14th and Monroe bus stop near campus. They collect data from riders by surveying every 10th person who arrives at the bus stop, and end up with a sample of 138 people. For each person surveyed, they collect the following information: OSU student (yes/no) Distance traveled to get to campus (miles) Number of bus rides per week Satisfaction with bus service (very unsatisfied, unsatisfied, neutral, satisfied, very satisfied) What sampling scheme is the engineer using to collect data? Simple random sampling Stratified sampling Systematic sampling Convenience sampling
A contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section. To prepare for the story, she conducts a study to compare the exercise habits of people who exercise in the morning to the exercise habits of people who work out in the afternoon or evening. She selects three different health centers from which to draw her samples. The 57 people she sampled who work out in the morning have a mean of 4.8 hours of exercise each week. The 56 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 4.2 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.8 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.3 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Step 1 of 2: Construct a 95 % confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts of time…
The National Sleep Foundation used a survey to determine whether hours of sleeping per night are independent of age (Newsweek, January 19, 2004). The following show the hours of sleep on weeknights for a sample of individuals age 49 and younger and for a sample of individuals age 50 and older. Hours of Sleep Age Fewer than 6 6 to 6.9 7 to 7.9 8 or more Total 49 or younger 37 60 78 65 240 50 or older 35 60 74 91 260 Conduct a test of independence to determine whether the hours of sleep on weeknights are independent of age. Use a = .05. Use Table 12.4. Compute the value of the X test statistic (to 2 decimals). The p value is Select What is your conclusion?

After looking at MLs, the researcher decides to look at the entire sample. In her analysis the researcher is interested in the relationship between party affiliation, gender, and religious importance. She measures party affiliation on a seven-point scale such that: 1-Strong Democrat; 2-Democrat; 3=Independent leaning Democrat; 4=Independent; 5=Independent leaning Republican; 6=Republican; 7=Strong Republican. Gender is measured as a dummy variable coded 1 if the respondent identifies as female and O if the respondent identifies as male. Religious importance is coded as before (1-important; O=unimportant). A regression model is estimated and the following results are obtained: Call: Im(formula = guncontrol ~ pid7 + sex + ri, data = therms) Coefficients: Estimate Std.

The authors of a paper studied a random sample of 350 Twitter users. For each Twitter user in the sample, the "tweets" sent during a particular time period were analyzed and the Twitter user was classified into one of the following categories based on the type of messages they usually sent. Category Description IS Information sharing OC Opinions and complaints RT Random thoughts ME Me now (what I am doing now) O Other The accompanying table gives the observed counts for the five categories (approximate values read from a graph in the paper). Twitter Type IS OC RT ME O Observed count 50 61 64 102 73 Carry out a hypothesis test to determine if there is convincing evidence that the proportions of Twitter users falling into each of the five categories are not all the same. Use a significance level of 0.05.Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)χ2 = ?What is the P-value for the test?…
The mean birthweight of an infant is thought to be associated with the smoking status of the mother during the first trimester of the pregnancy. Consider the following data from mothers divided into four categories according to smoking habits, and the corresponding birthweights of their children.

6.34 Barking deer. Microhabitat factors associated with forage and bed sites of barking deer in Hainan Island, China were examined. In this region woods make up 4.8% of the land, cultivated grass plot makes up 14.7%, and deciduous forests make up 39.6%. Of the 426 sites where the deer forage, 4 were categorized as woods, 16 as cultivated grassplot, and 61 as deciduous forests. The table below summarizes these data.39 Woods Cultivated grassplot Deciduous forests Other Total 4 16 61 345 426 (a) Write the hypotheses for testing if barking deer prefer to forage in cer- tain habitats over others.
