A social scientist wishes to conduct a survey. She plans to ask a yes/no question to a random sample from the U.S. adult population. One proposal is to select 100 people; another proposal is to select 900 people. If the study were conducted repeatedly (selecting different samples of people each time), which one of the following would be true regarding the resulting sample proportions of "yes" responses? A. O Different sample proportions would result each time, but for sample size 100 they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion, whereas for sample size 900 they would not. B. For either sample size, using the same size each time, as long as the sampling is done with replacement, their mean would be o. C. O Different sample proportions would result each time, but for sample size 900 they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion, whereas for sample size 100 they would not. D. O Different sample proportions would result each time, but for either sample size, they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion.

A gym manager is interested in whether the ‘beginner’ and ‘expert’ climbing walls (that were of the same height) at her facility are actually different from each other. To test this, she decides to look at the time it takes people to reach the top of both walls. She recruits 25 students and has them each climb both walls and looks for differences between the ‘beginner’ wall climbing times and the ‘expert’ wall climbing times. Select one: a. single sample t-test b. one-way ANOVA c. paired samples t-test d. z-test e. factorial ANOVA f. t-test independent means

O The samples of white and black people are independent. The explanatory variable is the unemployment rate. The response variable is the unemployment rate. The response variable is race.
Rachel Green, a fashion buyer at Ralph Lauren, wanted to know which seasonal clothing line Ralph Lauren customers prefer. She randomly selected 200 Ralph Lauren customers to survey about their seasonal preferences. She asked the following question: "Which seasonal clothing line is your favorite: spring, summer, fall, or winter?" The results were as follows: Spring: 10 Summer: 11 Fall: 149 Winter: 20 Based ONLY on this information (do not try to infer anything else!), answer the following questions. Did sampling bias occur? Why or why not? Did response bias occur? Why or why not? Did nonresponse bias occur? Why or why not?
A vaccine to prevent a severe virus was given to children within the first year of life as part of a drug study. The study reported that of the 3456bchildren randomly assigned the vaccine, 58 got the virus. Of the 1606 children randomly assigned the placebo, 46 got the virus. a. Find the sample percentage of children who caught the virus in each group. Is the sample percentage lower for the vaccine group, as investigators hoped? b. Determine whether the vaccine is effective in reducing the chance of catching the virus, using a significance level of 0.01.The first few steps of the hypothesis-testing procedure are given. Complete the procedure.

A student organization is trying to decide whether or not to oﬀer more movies on campus. They want to determine whether this idea will appeal to members of both genders. A random sample of 1000 students was asked if they were in favor of more movies on campus. The results by gender are shown in the table below in Figure 2.Fig. 2: Summary(a) What proportion of the sampled students is in favor of more movies on campus? (b) What proportion of the sampled females is in favor of more movies on campus? (c) What proportion of the sampled males is in favor of more movies on campus? (d) To answer the original question regarding whether or not to oﬀer more movies on campus, which distribution should the student organization study? i. The joint distribution of gender and opinion.ii. The marginal distribution of gender. iii. The conditional distribution of gender given opinion. iv. The conditional distribution of opinion given gender.
Does the location of your seat in a classroom play a role in attendance or grade? 1600 students in a physics course were randomly assigned to one of four groups. The 400 students in group 1 sat 0 to 4 meters from the front of the class, the 400 students in group 2 sat 4 to 6.5 meters from the front, the 400 students in group 3 sat 6.5 to 9 meters from the front, and the 400 students in group 4 sat 9 to 12 meters from the front. Complete parts (a) through (c). Click the icon to view the chi-square table of critical values. (a) For the first half of the semester, the attendance for the whole class averaged 83%. So, if there is no effect due to seat location, we would expect 83% of students in each group to attend. The data show the attendance history for each group. How many students in each group attended, on average? Is there a significant difference among the groups in attendance patterns? 3 4 Group Attendance 1 0.84 0.84 0.84 0.80 The number of students who attended in the first…

For a research project, students are asked to study how often students at an online high school look at social media while doing schoolwork. Sofie decides to develop a survey. a) Give an example of a question she could ask on her survey. (b) How could Sofie select a simple random sample of students to take her survey? (c) She gives out 80 surveys but receives only 32 completed surveys. What are the sample and population for Sofie’s research? (d) Of the 32 students who completed surveys, 16 said they use social media while doing schoolwork. If Sofie uses only the completed surveys, what conclusion could she make about the percent of all high school students who use social media while doing schoolwork?
