According to some theorists, teenagers who spend more time with their friends in unsupervised activities are more likely to engage in delinquent conduct. You question a random sample of 2,500 high-school youths about number of hours spent in unsupervised peer activities (e.g., cruising, shopping, movies) and frequency of delinquent behavior. Unit of analysis/observation = Population = Sample Dependent variable = * Level of measurement: Independent variable = .Level of measurement:

5. A credit score is used by credit agencies (such as mortgage companies and banks) to assess the creditworthiness of individuals. Values range from 300 to 850, with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey, the mean credit score is 702.9. A credit analyst wondered whether high-income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 32 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 719.1 with a standard deviation of 80.6. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the a = 0.05 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: H (1) H: μ (2) (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) Identify the t-statistic. to = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Identify the P-value.

Fuel efficiency of Prius: Fueleconomy.gov, the official US government source for fuel economy information, allows users to share gas mileage information on their vehicles. The histogram below shows the distribution of gas mileage in miles per gallon (MPG) from 14 users who drive a 2012 Toyota Prius. The sample mean is 53.3 MPG and the standard deviation is 5.2 MPG. Note that these data are user estimates and since the source data cannot be verified, the accuracy of these estimates are not guaranteed. (a) The EPA claims that a 2012 Prius gets 50 MPG (city and highway mileage combined). Do these data provide strong evidence against this estimate for drivers who participate on fueleconomy.gov? The test statistic is: __________________(please round to two decimal places)The p-value:___________________________ for this hypothesis test is: (please round to four decimal places)(c) Please comment on the primary thing that is wrong about the following statement: There is sufficient evidence…
