An article predicts that "spit," spam that is delivered via internet phone lines and cell phones, will be a growing problem as more people turn to web-based phone services. In a poll of 5500 cell phone users, 28% indicated that they had received commercial messages ads on their cell phones. A USE SALT Is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of cell phone users who have received commercial messages or ads in 2004 was greater than the proportion of 0.13 reported for the previous year? (Use a = 0.05. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your value to four decimal places.) There is --Select--- v evidence to suggest that the proportion cell phone users who have received commercial messages or ads in 2004 is greater than the proportion of 0.13 reported for the previous year.

In order to estimate the proportion of students at a small liberal arts college who watch reality TV for more than 4 hours per week, a random sample of students at the school is selected and each is interviewed about his or her reality TV viewing habits. The students conducting the survey are worried that people that watch reality TV might be embarrassed to admit it and that they may not respond to the survey with honest answers. What type of bias are the students conducting the survey worried about? Measurement or response bias They shouldn't worry--there is no obvious source of bias. Selection bias Nonresponse bias
Recent research commissioned by Vodafone suggests that older workers are the happiest employees (BBC News, July 21, 2008). The report documents that 70% of older workers in England feel fulfilled, compared with just 50% of younger workers. A demographer believes that an identical pattern does not exist in Asia. A survey of 120 older workers in Asia finds that 78 feel fulfilled. At a 5% level of significance, test if older workers in Asia feel less fulfilled than their British counterparts. In the box below, answer the following (a) What is the p-value for the test? (Round to three decimal places.) (b) At a 5% level of significance, do older workers in Asia feel less fulfilled than their British counterparts?
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur most frequently in planting and cutting sports such as basketball, soccer, and volleyball. National collegiate athletic association injury data show that female athletes injure the ACL more frequently than their male counterparts do. A sports medicine professor wants to test this claim. He surveyed 5 universities that had both men's and woman's basketball, soccer, and volleyball and asked them how many grade 3 ACL tears they had during the past 5 seasons. Using the following results, are women at greater risk than men for ACL injuries? (use a standard deviation of 0.01, one tail test). Women- 4,3, 5, 2,4 Men- 2, 0, 1 ,2, 1 What is the difference between a repeated measure study and a matched pairs study?

GMU uses a robot food delivery service which now has been utilized in the City of Fairfax. One of the potential benefits of this service is to help the busiest students eat breakfast. Research has shown that about 80% of college students skip breakfast due to busy schedules and other reasons. Initial data were collected from a random sample of 595 Mason students who utilize the robot food delivery service and are presented in StatCrunch. Show the full calculation of the sample proportion by including the number of students who skipped breakfast, the total number of students sampled, and the value of the sample proportion. Present this sample proportion as a decimal rounded to four decimal places. Frequency table results for Breakfast?Count = 595 Breakfast? Frequency Relative Frequency 0 142 0.23865546 1 453 0.76134454

Most alpine skiers and snowboarders do not use helmets. Do helmetsreduce the risk of head injuries? A study in Norway compared skiers and snowboarders who suffered head injuries with a control group who were not injured. Of 578 injured subjects, 96 had worn a helmet. Of the 2992 in the control group, 656 wore helmets. Is helmet use less common among skiers and snowboarders who have head injuries?
The Wall Street Journal asked Concur Technologies, Inc., an expense management company, to examine data from 8.3 million expense reports to provide insights regarding business travel expenses. Their analysis of the data showed that New York was the most expensive city. The following table shows the average daily hotel room rate (*) and the average amount spent on entertainment (y) for a random sample of 9 of the 25 most-visited U.S. cities. These data lead to the estimated regression equation ŷ = 17.49 +1.0334x. For these data SSE = 1541.4. Click on the datafile logo to reference the data. Use Table 1 of Appendix B.

The GfK Custom Research Organization conducted identical surveys five years apart. One question asked women: “Are most men basically kind, gentle, and thoughtful"? The earlier survey revealed that, of the 3550 women surveyed, 2350 said that they were. In the later survey, 2250 of the 3550 women surveyed thought that men were kind, gentle, and thoughtful. Can we conclude that women think men are less kind, gentle, and thoughtful in the later survey compared with the earlier one? Use 0.01 significance level. Calculate and interpret the p-value. a. State the decision rule. (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.) The decision rule is to reject Ho if z is less than b. Compute the pooled proportion. (Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.) The pooled proportion is: c. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.) The test statistic is:…
The American Water Works Association reports that, The average household water usage is more than 10 gallons per day. However, in a pandemic like this, it is suspected that there is a change in household water consumption. A researcher conducted a survey and took samples of 12 household heads and asked about the use of the gallon water. The data obtained are as follows: 74, 8, 13, 17, 13, 15, 12, 13, 15, 16, 9, 7. If it is known that the data is normally distributed. Use a significance level of 5% to test whether the average household water use has increased (greater than 10 gallons)? What will happen if the household's water use increases by 5% from the previous one? Analyze your answer and come up with a conclusion!
A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in Connecticut and California. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the that the mean annual income of childcare workers in the state of Connecticut is greater than the mean annual income of childcare workers in California. To see if this is true, the firm selected a random sample of 10 childcare workers from Connecticut and an independent random sample of 10 childcare workers from California and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows. 80°F Partly sunny Annual income in dollars Connecticut 42438, 52287, 46837, 49334, 52848, 52929, 57111, 51860, 44967, 52174 California 50998, 38334, 56804, 50919, 49446, 41141, 45717, 43963, 55156, 47295 LL D 144Hz Send data to calculator V The population standard deviations for the annual incomes of childcare workers in Connecticut and in California are estimated as 6300 and 6100,…
A study was conducted to explore the possibility of a audiobook treatment effect on sleep quality (better, worse). One version of the study involved 32 uber drivers. The uber drivers were given the option to choose which group they were in. One group listened to an audiobook while they slept, while the other group did not. The researchers found a difference of 21.9 percentage points between the proportion of uber drivers in each group who experienced better sleep quality. The group that listened to an audiobook had the higher proportion. The tail proportion from a randomisation test carried out with the data from the study was 1/1000.
