According to a study conducted by a statistical organization, the proportion of people who are satisfied with the way things are going in their lives is 0.74. Suppose that a random sample of 100 people is obtained. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) Suppose the random sample of 100 people is asked, "Are you satisfied with the way things are going in your life?" Is the response to this question qualitative or quantitative? Explain. O A. The response is qualitative because the number of people satisfied can be counted. O B. The response is quantitative because the responses can be classified based on the characteristic of being satisfied or not. OC. The response is quantitative because the number of people satisfied can be counted. O D. The response is qualitative because the responses can be classified based on the characteristic of being satisfied or not.

An article about the California lottery gave the following information on the age distribution of adults in California: 35% are between 18 and 34 years old, 51% are between 35 and 64 years old, and 14% are 65 years old or older. The article also gave information on the age distribution of those who purchase lottery tickets. The following table is consistent with the values given in the article. Suppose that the data resulted from a random sample of 200 lottery ticket purchasers. Based on these sample data, is it reasonable to conclude that one or more of these three age groups buys a disproportionate share of lottery tickets? Use a chi-square goodness-of-fit test with ? = 0.05. Age of Purchaser Frequency 18–34 36 35–64 130 65 and over 34 Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ?2 = Use technology to calculate the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) P-value = What can you conclude?

The General Social Survey is an annual survey given to a random selection of about 1500 adults in the United States. Among the many questions asked are "What is the highest level of education you've completed?" and "If you're employed full-time, how many hours do you spend working at your job during a typical week?" In a recent year, 1079 respondents answered both questions. The summary statistics are given in the chart below. (The sample data consist of the times, in hours per week, that were given by the respondents.) Sample Sample Sample size Groups mean variance Less than h.s.

Such a test uses the following statistic. Variation between the samples F= Variation within the samples For the data from…
A research poll included 1762 randomly selected adults who were asked whether "global warming is a problem that requires immediate government action." Results showed that 975 of those surveyed indicated that immediate government action is required. A news reporter wants to determine whether these survey results constitute strong evidence that the majority (more than 50%) of people believe that immediate government action is required. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. What is the best estimate of the proportion of adults who believe that immediate government action is required? The best estimate is ☐ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Page 160 #17 We predict that children exhibit more aggressive act after watching a violent television show. The scores for ten children were recorded before they watched a violent show and then after they watched a violent show. Aggression was measured in terms of number of aggressive acts (e.g. hitting, yelling, kicking etc). Sample 1 (after TV show): 5,6,4,4,7,3,2,1,4,1 Sample 2 (before TV show): 4,6,3,2,4,1,0,0,5,2 Is this a one-tailed or two-tailed test?

You want to examine the relationship between dropping out of high school and delinquency. You have a random sample of 11 students. You have the number of delinquent offenses that each student reported committing in the year before and after dropping out of school. The following table shows the data.

International experience around the world is important in our culture of globalization. According to NAFSA, 54.5% of all American students traveling abroad went to Europe in the 2014-2015 academic year. To determine if there is shift in the proportion of students traveling to Europe, suppose a random sample of 300 students who had studied abroad was taken for the 2015-2016 school year. One-hundred sixty of the students traveled to Europe. a. Conduct a test to determine if the proportion of students traveling to Europe has changed. Be sure to provide a complete write-up. b. Based on the hypothesis test, would you expect 0.545 to be in confidence interval for the proportion? Explain without constructing the interval.
When a student performs poorly on a midterm exam, the student sometimes is convinced that their score is an anomaly and that they will do much better on the final exam. The data below show the midterm and final scores (out of 100 points) for eight students in an introductory statistics class. Student Midterm Final 1 70 88 2 58 52 3 85 84 4 82 74 5 70 80 40 36 7 85 48 8 85 96 a) Construct a scatterplot for the data. Describe the pattern that you see in the scatterplot. Are there any clusters or outliers? If so, how would you explain them? b) Calculate the regression line for predicting a student's score on the final exam based on the student's score on the midterm.
2. A coach gave her team a test on sit-ups completed in one minute. Using the data collected, the coach constructed the following frequency distribution: Scores 90-99 80-89 70-79 60-69 50-59 40-49 30-39 20-29 10-19 0-9 a. 9 12 17 13 10 7 3 1 What is the percentile score for a raw score of 38? Show your work. b.) The coach wants to take the top 20% of the team and train them for the World Sit-up Championships. What raw score cut-off would be used to choose the team? Show your work. Note: you can't have part of a person on the team.
