Abel Alonzo, Director of Human Resources, is exploring employee absenteeism at the Harrison Haulers Plant. Abel knows that absenteeism varies significantly between departments. For example, workers in the wood shop are absent more than those in the tuning department and the size of the departments ranges from 40 to 120 workers. He orders a random sample of 10 workers from each of the six departments. Abel's sample is a proportionate systematic sample proportionate stratified sample disproportionate systematic sample disproportionate stratified sample O proportionate cluster sample

4. Two people are arguing about the size of different breeds of dogs. One believes that German shepherds are larger than huskies, while the other person believes the opposite is true. They conduct a study to see which one of them is correct. They sample the weights of ten dogs of each breed. The data are as follows: German Shepherds: 55, 72, 61, 43, 59, 70, 67, 49, 55, 63 Huskies: 48, 77, 46, 51, 60, 44, 53, 61, 52, 41 (a) Should a one-tailed or two-tailed test be conducted? Why? (b) Conduct the appropriate test with alpha = 0.05. Which breed is larger or are they the same?
In a study conducted to examine the quality of fish after 7 days in ice storage, ten raw fish of the same kind and approximately the same size were caught and prepared for ice storage. The fish were placed in ice storage at different times after being caught. A measure of fish quality was given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage. The sample data are shown below, where "Time" is the number of hours after being caught that the fish was placed in ice storage and "Fish Quality" is the measure given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage (higher numbers mean better quality). Which variable would be considered the response variable? Fish Time: 0 0 2 3 5 6 7 9 11 12 Fish Quality 8.5 8.4 8.0 8.1 7.8 7.6 7.3 7.0 6.8 6.7 Choose the correct answer below. A.Fish Quality B.Time C.Neither variable could be considered a response variable.
A health educator wants to evaluate the effect of a dental film on the frequency with which children brush their teeth. A random selection of 8 children is used for the experiment. First, a baseline of the number of times the children brush their teeth over a month’s period is established. Next, the children are shown the dental film and again the number of teeth brushings are recorded for a month. The following data are recorded: Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 After Film 28 29 25 30 25 27 28 24 Baseline 25 28 22 30 26 24 25 22 What is the nondirectional alternative hypothesis? df = ∑ D2 = __ Dobt = µD = SSD =
A large group of workers is divided into three departments: those who work in special operations, those who work on the main floor, and those who work in management. Strep throat has been going around and a health inspector would like to know if there is a relationship between department and having strep throat. She selects a random sample of 100 workers and classifies each one according to their department and whether they have strep throat. The data are displayed in the table. The health inspector would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of strep throat status differs across the departments in the population of all workers of this large company. What is the appropriate inference procedure? chi-square test for goodness of fit because the data come from one random sample chi-square test for homogeneity because the data come from independent random samples chi-square test for association/independence because the data come from one random…
A contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section. To prepare for the story, she conducts a study to compare the exercise habits of people who exercise in the morning to the exercise habits of people who work out in the afternoon or evening. She selects three different health centers from which to draw her samples. The 57 people she sampled who work out in the morning have a mean of 4.8 hours of exercise each week. The 56 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 4.2 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.8 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.3 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Step 1 of 2 : Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts…

According to the Census Bureau, the distribution by ethnic background of the New York City population in a recent year was Hispanic: 28% Black: 24% White: 35% Asian: 12% Others: 1% The manager of a large housing complex in the city wonders whether the distribution by race of the complex’s residents is consistent with the population distribution. To find out, she records data from random sample of 800 residents. The table below displays the sample data. Race Hispanic Black White Asian Others Count 212 202 270 94 22 Are these data significantly different from the city’s distribution by race? Carry out an appropriate test at the ? = 0.05 level of significance to support your answer. State the null and alternate hypotheses (write it mathematically) and write your claim. Find the test statistics. Identify the Rejection region (critical region) and fail to reject region. Show this by drawing a curve and separate the rejection region from the fail to reject region using the critical…

Suppose a community college has 10,000 students (the population). We are interested in the average amount of money a part-time student spends on books in the fall term. Asking all 10,000 students is almost an impossible task. A sample is taken using a list of students who take photography classes, and each of these students is surveyed. Do you think that this sample is representative of the entire 10,000 student population? Why or why not?
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requires colleges to report the graduation rates of athletes. Here are data from a Big Ten university’s report. The graduation rates were 37 of 45 female athletes and 58 of 102 male athletes. Is there evidence that a smaller proportion of male athletes than female athletes graduate within six years?
