A survey was conducted by the local chapter of an environmental club regarding the ownership of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) among the members of the group. An AFV is a vehicle that runs on fuel other than petroleum fuels (petrol and diesel). It was found that of the 80 members of the club surveyed, 28 of them own at least one hybrid car, 10 of them own at least one electric car, and 2 of them own at least one hybrid and at least one electric car. (Enter your answers to three decimal places.) (a) If a member of the club is surveyed, what is the probability that he or she owns only hybrid cars?(b) If a member of the club is surveyed, what is the probability that he or she owns no alternative fuel vehicles?

A survey was conducted of two types of marketers. The first type being marketers that focus primarily on attracting business (B2B), and the second type being marketers that primarily target consumers (B2C). It was reported that 518 (88%) of B2B and 250 (61%) of B2C marketers commonly use a business social media tool. The study also revealed that 313 (53%) of B2B marketers and 243 (60%) of B2C marketers commonly use a video social media tool. Suppose the survey was based on 589 B2B marketers and 407 B2C marketers. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference between B2B marketers and B2C marketers in the proportion that commonly use the business social media tool? Let population 1 correspond to B2B marketers and population 2 correspond to B2C marketers. Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses below. O A. Ho: T1 2 T2 B. Ho: T STh2 H1: Tq T2 C. Ho: Tq # T2 H1: Tq = T2 O D. Ho: T4 = T2 Determine the test…
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. 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…
THE MANAGER OF A SERVICE STATION IS IN THE PROCESS OF ANALYZING THE NUMBER OF TIMES CAR OWNERS CHANGE THE OIL IN THEIR CARS. SHE BELIEVES THAT THE AVERAGE MOTORIST CHANGES HIS OR HER CAR'S OIL LESS FREQUENTLY THAN RECOMMENDED BY THE OWNER'S MANUAL (TWO TIMES PER YEAR). IN A PRELIMINARY SURVEY SHE ASKED 14 CAR OWNERS HOW MANY TIMES THEY CHANGED THEIR CARS' OIL IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. THE RESULTS ARE 1, 1, 2, 0, 3, 3,0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, AND 1. 2.1 Does this data provide sufficient evidence at the 10% significance level to indicate that the manager is correct? 2.2 Ho: H₁: Rejection region: Test statistic: Decision: Conclusion: What condition is required in order to analyze this data using a t-test?
A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.

The traffic pattern is being analyzed for traffic going into Myrtle Beach on 501. The intersection of US-501 and US-17 Bypass was designed such that 50% of the traffic would continue straight on 501, 30% would go north on 17 Bypass, and 20% would go south on 17 Bypass. Since then, there has been a significant amount of commercial growth around the intersection that may have impacted the traffic flow. A sample of 600 cars is to be reviewed to see if the traffic has significantly changed using the chi-square test. How many cars do you expect to go straight on US-501?
According to a Gallup poll in October 2015, having young children at home greatly influences whether women in the U.S. prefer to stay at home or work outside of it. More than half of women, 56%, who have a child younger than 18 would ideally like to stay home and care for their house and family, while 58% of those without young children would rather work outside the home. Having young children makes little difference in men's preferences, with close to three-quarters preferring to work regardless of their parenting status. Gallup states that their method has a margin of error of 0.031.(a) Give a point estimate for the proportion of all US women with a child under 18 that would like to stay at home.(b) Give an interval estimate for the proportion of all US women with a child under 18 that would like to stay at home. Use three decimal places in your answer.( , )(c) What is the difference between a point estimate and an interval estimate?
Throughout the world, women are targets of harassment, discrimination, violence, and evenmurder due to perceptions of their clothing choices. Some women are targeted because theydress to religious and some women are targeted because they do not dress religious enough. Aresearcher was interested in determining if countries that had more restrictions on how womendress (i.e., how many laws regulate women’s clothing choices?) also had more women reportingsocial hostility from others (e.g., discrimination, abuse, violence). What statistical test should beused to determine if there is a relationship between number of women’s clothing regulations andthe number of reports of social hostility? Assume parametric assumptions are met. A. Is this a relationship test or a difference test? Explain your rationale. B. What would be the appropriate statistical test? Explain your rationale.
In a series of studies, Sebastian Deri and his colleagues (2017) asked multiple groups about the number of friend groups they had and how often they attended different social events. They then asked participants how they thought their own numbers compared to other people's: Did participants see themselves as less social, the same as, or more social than others? In the first study, the researchers reported that: "Three hundred four participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (150 women; Mage = 37.1; 78% White, 10% Black, and 6% Asian) completed a survey in exchange for modest payment" (p. 860). What do the researchers mean by "Amazon's Mechanical Turk" with respect to their sample of participants? O A. An archival data set that already exists and from which researchers can use data O B. An online tool that researchers can use to recruit people to participate in research in exchange for a small payment O C. An e-book sold by Amazon that includes contact information for possible…
A doctor wanted to study the effect of four different treatments on mental health. A group of 100 adults experiencing depression volunteered for the study. The doctor randomly assigned one-fourth of them to each of four groups. Group 1 followed a specific exercise plan, group 2 followed a specific diet plan, group 3 followed an exercise and diet plan, and group 4 did not follow any plan. After 4 weeks, the doctor contacted each participant and asked them if they felt any better. The results are displayed in the table. The doctor would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of responses differs across the treatment groups in the population of all patients like these. The random condition is met. The 10% condition is not needed because random sampling did not take place. This table of expected counts shows that all expected counts are at least 5. What is the value of the chi-square test statistic? χ‑2 = 5.03 χ‑2 = 6.26 χ‑2 = 25.33 χ‑2 = 39.22
