A television station wishes to study the relationship between viewership of its 11 p.m. news program and viewer age (18 years or less, 19 to 35, 36 to 54, 55 or older). A sample of 250 television viewers in each age group is randomly selected, and the number who watch the station's 11 p.m. news is found for each sample. The results are given in the table below. Age Group Watch 55 or 11 p.m. News? 18 or less 19 to 35 36 to 54 Older Total Yes 50 45 65 80 240 No 200 205 185 170 760 Total 250 250 250 250 1,000 (a) Let Pj. P2. P3. and P4 be the proportions of all viewers in each age group who watch the station's 11 p.m. news. If these proportions are equal, then whether a viewer watches the station's 11 p.m. news is independent of the viewer's age group. Therefore, we can test the null hypothesis Hg that p1. P2. P3- and Pa are equal by carrying out a chi-square test for independence. Perform this test by setting a = .05. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) x^2 = HO: independence so Reject Do not reject (b) Compute a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference between P1 and P4. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.) 95% CI: [

A large mail-order house believes that there is a linear relationship between the weight of the mail it receives and the number of orders to be filled. It would like to investigate this relationship in order to predict the number of orders to be filled based on the weight of the mail. From an operational perspective, knowledge of the number of orders to be filled will help in the planning of the order-fulfillment process. A sample of 15 mail shipments is selected within a range of 200 to 700 pounds. The results are as follows. Weight of Mail (Pounds) Orders to be Filled (In Thousands) 240 6.5 290 9.0 237 7.2 380 11.5 342 10.3 384 10.6 482 14.5 430 13.6 409 12.8 553 16.5 572 17.1 501 15.8 628 19.0 670 19.6 620 19.2 a.

The Sydney Airport Commission set a performance target of 26 minutes for the time taken for passengers to claim their luggage at domestic terminals. In order to monitor performance a study was conducted by taking a random sample of 200 passengers disembarking from Sydney airport. If the study found a p-value of 0.5 what was the sample mean time taken by passengers to claim their luggage? (Your answer should be correct to one decimal place.)
Taubman et al., (2014) used data collected in the Portland, OR metro area to study the Impact Medicaid on emergency department (ED) use. The figure below shows the percent of respondents who have been to the ED at all (left hand side of the figure) and the average number of ED visits (right hand side of the figure). The dark blue bars represent the mean for the control group, and the light blue bars add in the "Medicaid" effect found in the paper. The black "capped" bar represents the confidence interval for the Medicaid effect. Percent with Any Visits 50 €30 20 10 O Any O O Any and Total ED Use Emergency Department Data Control Mean Control Mean plus Medicaid Effect Cl for Medicaid Effect The results above imply that the price elasticity of demand for emergency department use is Number of Visits perfectly inelastic not perfectly inelastic perfectly elastic
4. [A Monetary Surprise] Consider an economy in which the demand for money is of the form M₁ = = P₁Y for t = 0, 1,2,..., where output is 150, the money velocity is 1.5. The money supply is 100 for t = 0, 1. In period 2, the central bank surprises people and announce that money supply will grow at 2 percent forever, that is, Mo = 100, M₁ = 100, M₂ = (1.02) M₁, M3 (1.02) M₂, and so on. (a) What is the inflation rate in period 1, 7? What is real money balance in period 1, ? What is the expected inflation in period 2, given the information available in period 1, E172? (b) What is the inflation rate in period 2, m₂? What is real money balance in period 2, 2? What is expected inflation in period 3, given the informa- tion available in period 2, E273? (c) What is the inflation rate in period 3, 73? What is real money balance in period 2, ? (d) Compare E₁₂ and 7₂. B

Textbook authors must be careful that the reading level of their book is appropriate for the target audience. Some methods of assessing reading level require estimating the average word length. We've randomly chosen 20 words from a randomly selected page in Intro Stats and counted the number of letters in each word: 5, 5, 2, 11, 3, 5, 6, 8, 5, 4, 7, 2, 9, 4, 8, 10, 4, 7, 6, 9 Suppose that our editor was hoping that the book would have a mean word length of 6.8 letters. Does this sample indicate that the authors failed to meet this goal? With a significance level of 0.05, test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. (i.e state the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the test statistic, conclude and interpret it).

the unemployment rate for 18- to 34-year-olds was reported to be 10.8% (the Cincinnati Enquirer, november 6, 2012). assume that this report was based on a random sample of four hundred 18- to 34-year-olds. a. a political campaign manager wants to know if the sample results can be used to conclude that the unemployment rate for 18- to 34-years-olds is significantly higher than the unemployment rate for all adults. according to the bureau of labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for all adults was 7.9%. develop a hypothesis test that can be used to see if the conclusion that the unemployment rate is higher for 18- to 34-year-olds can be supported.b. use the sample data collected for the 18- to 34-year-olds to compute the p-value for the hypothesis test in part (a). using a 5 .05, what is your conclusion?c. explain to the campaign manager what can be said about the observed level of significance for the hypothesis testing results using the p-value

Select the scenario which is an example of simple random sampling. Answer Keypad Keyboard Shortcuts Tables A mobile network operator wants to determine the mean age of its most active subscribers. A random sample of subscribers with the number of text messages exceeding 30 per day was chosen. City managers want to find out the public's opinion of a newly reconstructed road. They use a local TV station to encourage citizens to make a call to their hot line and share their experience. Half of the working-age population in the county is under 35 years old, and another half is over 35 years old. The county administration wants to estimate the mean O salary for the two age groups, so they select 500 working-age residents that are younger than 35 and 500 working-age residents that are older than 35 and ask them about their salary. O Two friends conducted a survey among their schoolmates to find out how much time schoolchildren spend reading books during the summer.
