A student feels that 70% of her college courses have been enjoyable and the remainder have been boring. This student has access to student evaluations of professors and finds out that professors who had previously received strong positive evaluations from their students have taught 60% of his enjoyable courses and 25% of his boring courses. Next semester the student decides to take three courses, all from professors who have received strongly positive student evaluations. Assume that this student’s reactions to the three courses are independent of one another.a. What is the probability that this student will find all three courses enjoyable?b. What is the probability that this student will find at least one of the courses enjoyable?

In general, if two variables are strongly associated, does it follow there must be a cause and effect relationship between them? Explain
A researcher wonders if there an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of Vitamin C taken. He recruits 93 volunteers and randomly assigns 26 of them to take 500 mg of Vitamin C, 18 of them to take 1000 mg of Vitamin C and the rest to take no Vitamin C. At the end of the study, it was determined that 30 of the volunteers did not have any colds where 15 of them were in the 500 mg group, 11 of them were in the 1000 mg group, and the rest took no Vitamin C. Test the appropriate hypothesis at a = 0.01. Round your answers to three decimal places, if necessary. Fill in the hypotheses below: Ho: There is not vitamin C taken. Ha: There is vitamin C taken. Complete the table of expected counts under the null hypothesis: No Vitamin C 500mg Vitamin C 1000mg Vitamin C No Vitamin C 500mg Vitamin C 1000mg Vitamin C At least one cold 33.194 an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of 17.613 12.194…
An apartment management company wants to explore the consequences of allowing residents to have multiple dogs. They would like to find out whether the number of dogs predicts resident ratings. They would also like to control for the year the apartment complex was built because thaty might also affect the resident rating. They have collected data on several of their existing complexes. For each complex, they have counted the number of dogs currently living in the complex, the year the complex was built, and the average rating for that particular complex. They would like to perform a multiple regression on these variables to predict resident ratings. See data below. These data are the same as the previous question. Multiple Dog Consequences Number of dogs Year of facility Rating (out of 5) 54 1975 2 31 1964 3.5 0 2015 4.8 11 2011 3.8 73 1964 2.3 23 2016 3.7 0 2015 4.7 49 1989 2.7 What is the b coefficient for Number of Dogs? Round to 3 decimal places.

A health scientist is testing the effectiveness of three different diets (Diet A, Diet B, and Diet C). To determine diet effectiveness, a group of 72 participants were weighed and then randomly assigned to adhere to one of the three diets for a month (N = 24 for each group). At the end of the month, each participant was weighed again and the amount of weight lost was calculated in kilograms (kg). Using the variables “Diet” and “Weight Loss kg”, conduct a One-Way, Between Subjects, ANOVA, at α = 0.05, AND conduct Tukey's Post Hoc testing to find out which of the three diets was most effective. Identify the correct symbolic notation for the null hypothesis. A. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2 B. H0: µ1 = µ2 = µ3 C. HA: µ1 ≠ µ2 ≠ µ3 D. H0: µ1 = µ2
A serious side effect of allergy medicines is that they cause drowsiness, which can cause many problems for the individuals taking them. In recent years, a new non-drowsy allergy medicine has been developed. The company that created the medicine claims to be the first, once-a-day, non-drowsy allergy medicine (call it Medicine A). An independent research group wanted to check on this claim by comparing Medicine A with another allergy medicine not advertised as non-drowsy (call it Medicine B). A random sample of 3,193 allergy sufferers was selected and each individual was randomly assigned to take either Medicine A or Medicine B. From the Medicine A group, 114 of 1,604 reported drowsiness and from the Medicine B group, 155 of 1,589 reported drowsiness. a) Calculate and label the two sample proportions separately. Next, calculate the difference between these sample proportions by subtracting (Medicine A – Medicine B). Complete these calculations by hand, label each of them, and present…

A motion picture industry analyst is studying movies based on epic novels. The following data were obtained for 10 Hollywood movies made in the past five years. Each movie was based on an epic novel. For these data, x1 = first-year box office receipts of the movie, x2 = total production costs of the movie, x3 = total promotional costs of the movie, and x4 = total book sales prior to movie release. All units are in millions of dollars. x1 x2 x3 x4 85.1 8.5 5.1 4.7 106.3 12.9 5.8 8.8 50.2 5.2 2.1 15.1 130.6 10.7 8.4 12.2 54.8 3.1 2.9 10.6 30.3 3.5 1.2 3.5 79.4 9.2 3.7 9.7 91.0 9.0 7.6 5.9 135.4 15.1 7.7 20.8 89.3 10.2 4.5 7.9 a) If x2 (production costs) and x4 (book sales) were held fixed but x3 (promotional costs) were increased by 1.1 million dollars, what would you expect for the corresponding change in x1 (box office receipts)?

When looking at the data for graduate school admissions between men and women, it is shown that about 45% of men are admitted but only 38% of women. However, when the data is broken down by school it turns out that, within each school, the women are admitted at higher rates than the men. This could happen because I. The women apply in higher numbers to schools with lower acceptance rates. II. The women apply in higher numbers to schools with higher acceptance rates III. The men apply in higher numbers to schools with lower acceptance rates IV. The men apply in higher numbers to schools with higher acceptance rates
A researcher wants to see if gender and/or income affect the total amount of help given to a stranger who is sitting on the side of a busy road with a sign asking for help. The independent variables are gender, income, and the interaction of gender and income. The dependent variable is total help. He wants to know if one or both factors – or the interaction of the two - affect the total amount of help offered. Because he is analyzing two independent variables (gender and income), he used a factorial ANOVA. His results show the main effect of each of the independent variables on the dependent variable (total help) and the interaction effect. The researcher is using a 95% confidence interval which means that he wants to be at least 95% sure that his independent variables affected total help if he rejects the null hypothesis. Is there significance for either gender or income?
An undergraduate psychology course only gives the grades of A, B, C, or F. The department has determined that there should be 20% A's given, 30% B's given, 40% C's, and 10% F's given as final grades for the course. For the spring 2021 semester, 400 students took the course and 100 students received A's, 100 students received B's, 150 students received C's and 50 students received F's, so taose are my obsérved frequencies. We want to do a Chi-square Multinomial Goodness of Fit test to see if our grading guidelines match up with what is actually happening. What is the expected frequency for the grade of C category? Round your answer to the tenths position.
