A study was performed to evaluate the support for increasing the speed limit between the residents. A random sample of 500 residents of Marietta - Georgia found that 385 were in favor of increasing the highway speed limit to 75 mph, while another sample of 400 residents of Kennesaw - Georgia found that 267 were in favor of the increased speed limit. Do these data indicate that there is a difference in the support for in increasing the speed limit between the residents of the two cities? Use a = 0.05. (a) Test the hypothesis Ho: P1 = P2 versus H1: P1 # P2. What is zo? (b) Is it reasonable to conclude that there is a difference in the support for increasing the speed limit between the residents of the two cities?

A researcher is given a sample with variables (x, y) where x represents the number of points a player will score in a game and y represents that player's height. On this sample the researcher found that the coefficient of determination was 0.887. Explain and interpret, in a single sentence, the meaning of this coefficient in terms of variables x and y. (Credit only for a single concise sentence).
On fan sites, there were discussions about whether the data show a home-field advantage: does the host team tend to perform better than the visiting teams? In order to answer this question, you dedicate some time to watching all 8 of the Marbula one races. For each race, you record TRUE if the host team finishes in the top 2, and FALSE otherwise. Remember, there are 16 teams competing in each race. In 2 of the 8 races, the host team finished in the top 2. You conduct a simulation of this experiment: 1000 sets of 8 races using the null proportion = a. (You need to determine the correct value of a). Of the 1000 simulated experiments shown below, you find that in b simulations, there are at least 2 races where the host team finished in the top 2. (You determine the value of b) Simulation results Sim mean: 0.98 n= 402 400- Sim sd: 0.93 n = 350 300 - 200- n= 177 100- n= 59 n- 12 # Races where host team finished in the top 2 Which of the following statements are correct? # Simulations
The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 26 records of automobile driver fatalities in Kit Carson County, Colorado, showed that 14 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use ? = 0.01. Solve the problem using both the traditional method and the P-value method. Since the sampling distribution of p̂ is the normal distribution, you can use critical values from the standard normal distribution as shown in the table of critical values of the z distribution. (Round the test statistic and the critical value to two decimal places. Round the P-value to four decimal places.) test statistic = critical value = P-value =
One of the basketball coaches at Cypress College wanted to see if Cypress College's Strength & Exercise class was increasing the weight that a player could bench press. The basketball coach randomly selected some of his players and determined how much they could bench press before taking the class. Then after completing the class, he again determined the weight that they could now bench press. The data for these players is given in the table below. Test whether the Strength and Exercise class is increasing the amount of weight that the players can bench press at the a=0.05 level of significance.

Aleyla, an educator, would like to investigate whether students’ IQ have an effect on their exam scores. She also wants to determine if teaching strategy is associated with whether students pass or fail in the exam (exam result). She then randomly selected twenty students and conducted an IQ test. Further, she randomly assigned them to the two teaching strategies. The students’ exam scores were recorded. 1. What can you say about the relationship between IQ and exam scores? Coefficient: __ = ___________ There is a _______ _______ _______ relationship between IQ and exam scores. 2. Test at 5% level of significance if exam scores are linearly associated with IQ.

Two scanners, Brand A and Brand B, are both designed to detect forged cinema tickets. To determine whether there is a difference in the performance of the two scanners 300 forged tickets were randomly selected and scanned by each. It was found that 197 forgeries were detected by Brand A while Brand B detected 178. Is there a difference in the performance of the two brands of scanners? Explain. A consultant believes that the price of a stock in a stock exchange will grow at a rate of 5% per week with a standard deviation of 1%. An investor believes the stock won't grow as quickly.

Use the figure to the right, which shows the percentages of adults from several countries who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country. The survey included random samples of 1051 adults from Country A, 1120 adults from Country B, 1048 adults from Country C, and 1013 adults from Country D. At a = 0.05, can you support the claim that the proportion of adults in Country B who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country is different from the proportion of adults from Country C who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country? Assume the random samples are independent. 100- 80- 60 40 20 I Country A 53% I Country B 47% O Country C 46% O Country D 34% Identify the claim and state Ho and H.

A health journal conducted a study to see if packaging a healthy food product like junk food would influence children's desire to consume the product. A fictitious brand of a healthy food product—sliced apples—was packaged to appeal to children. The researchers showed the packaging to a sample of 407 school children and asked each whether he or she was willing to eat the product. Willingness to eat was measured on a 5-point scale, with 1="not willing at all" and 5="very willing." The data are summarized as x=3.28 and s=2.55. Suppose the researchers knew that the mean willingness to eat an actual brand of sliced apples (which is not packaged for children) is μ=3. Complete parts a and b below.
A paper describes an investigation in which 40 men and 40 women with online dating profiles agreed to participate in a study. Each participant's height (in inches) was measured and the actual height was compared to the height given in that person's online profile. The differences between the online profile height and the actual height (profile − actual) were used to compute the values in the accompanying table. Men Women xd = 0.53 xd = 0.08 sd = 0.81 sd = 0.75 n = 40 n = 40 For purposes of this exercise, assume it is reasonable to regard the two samples in this study as being representative of male online daters and female online daters. (Although the authors of the paper believed that their samples were representative of these populations, participants were volunteers recruited through newspaper advertisements, so we should be a bit hesitant to generalize results to all online daters.)
