A team of researchers would like to determine whether the number of households that use the internet for more than anhour a day is greater in large cities or small towns. To do so, the researchers take two random samples. The first sampleconsists of randomly selected people who live in cities with more than 500,000 people around the country. The secondsample consists of randomly selected people who live in towns with fewer than 20,000 people. Are these samplesdependent or independent?Select the correct answer below:O These samples are independent.OThese samples are dependent.Not enough information is provided to determine independence.

The correct option is ‘these samples are independent’.Explanation: The two samples which are derived…

The average annual cost (including tuition, room, board, books, and fees) to attend a public college takes nearly a third of the annual income of a typical family with college-age children (Money, April 2012). At private colleges, the average annual cost is equal to about 60% of the typical family's income. The following random samples show the annual cost of attending private and public colleges. Data are in thousands of dollars. Private colleges: 52.8, 43.2, 45.0, 33.3, 44.0, 30.6, 45.8, 37.8, 50.5, 42.0. Public colleges: 20.3, 22.0, 28.2, 15.6, 24.1, 28.5, 22.8, 25.8, 18.5, 25.6, 14.4, 21.8. You compute the two sample means, the two sample standard deviations and the point estimate of the difference between the two population means. You obtain a ??? margin of error of the difference between the two population means. The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population means based on the point estimate of the difference is???
In each scenario, identify the population, the sample, and any population parameters or sample statistics that are given. In a recent study, US graduates of for-profit higher education institutions were between 4.8 and 6.7 percentage points more likely to be unemployed than those at non-profit institutions and community colleges.
A professor using an open source introductory statistics book predicts that 15% of the students will purchase a hard copy of the book, 35% will print it out from the web, and 50% will read it online. At the end of the semester he asks his students to complete a survey where they indicate what format of the book they used. Of the 276 students, 36 said they bought a hard copy of the book, 107 said they printed it out from the web, and 133 said they read it online. Round all answers to four decimal places.
John Calipari, head basketball coach for the 2012 national champion University of Kentucky Wildcats, is the highest paid coach in college basketball with an annual salary of $5.4 million (USA Today, March 29, 2012). The sample below shows the head basketball coach's salary for a sample of 10 schools playing NCAA Division 1 basketball. Salary data are in millions of dollars. University Coach’s Salary University Coach’s Salary Indiana 2.2 Syracuse 1.5 Xavier .5 Murray State .2 Texas 2.4 Florida State 1.5 Connecticut 2.7 South Dakota State .1 West Virginia 2.0 Vermont .2 a. Use the sample mean for the 10 schools to estimate the population mean annual salary for head basketball coaches at colleges and universities playing NCAA Division 1 basketball (to 2 decimals). b. Use the data to estimate the population standard deviation for the annual salary for head basketball coaches (to 4 decimals).
A statistics content developer at Aplia wanted to know whether study skills are related to memory quality. She invited student volunteers to perform an online memory task. The students saw a list of 60 words and were then asked to recognize a list of 10 words that were on the original list. Students were also asked to provide their Verbal SAT scores. Consider the following data set, which was collected from student volunteers in 2009. The table gives the frequency for five Verbal SAT score intervals. Use the dropdown menus to complete the table by filling in the missing values for the proportions and percentages. Score Interval f Proportion 700-799 17 0.28 600-699 22 500-599 400-499 300-399 15 4 0.07 2 0.03 Percentage 28% 7% 3%
You give all Stonehill students a measure of well-being (i.e. happiness) when they enter as first year students. You want to compare the average happiness scores for incoming first year students for the classes of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Which statistical test would you use to see if there are statistically significant differences of well-being (based on happiness scores) between the classes of 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024? a. one sample t test b. two sample t test c. repeated measures t test d. ANOVA
In the class poll from the beginning of the year, you were asked what color car you drive. The results are summarized below. aqua 3 beige/tan/gold 39 black 80 blue 44 green 21 orange 3 pink 1 purple 3 red 45 silver 63 white 74 yellow 1 What is the mode for this data set?
The Fish and Game Deparment stocked Lake Loomis with fish according to the following percentages: 10% catfish, 30% bass, 40% bluegill, and 20% pike. Five years later, they sampled the lake to see if the distribution of fish had changed. Of the 500 fish in their sample, 62 were catfish, 108 were bass, 204 were bluegill, and 126 were pike. Use a Chi-Squared test to determine whether the distribution of fish in Lake Loomis had changed significantly over this five-year period. Based on the result, what conclusion should the Fish and Game Department reach? No excel, please.
A study claims that the Netherlands has the tallest adults of any country with an average height of 6.14 ft. Trent wants to test this claim. He randomly measures the heights of 31 dutch adults and obtains the following data, in feet: 5.23, 6.6, 5.67, 6.44, 7.39, 6.14, 5.86, 4.09, 5.6, 5.68, 6.13, 5.87, 3.95, 5.61, 5.69, 6.83, 7.45, 6.03, 5.5, 5.75, 6.94, 5.65, 7.64, 2.83, 4.42, 5.5, 6.21, 6.53, 6.75, 6.01, 4.35 Should Trent reject the claim? Step 1: State the hypothesis. ? v = Step 2: Determine the Features of the Distribution of Point Estimates Using the Central Limit Theorem.
