Ananya closely followed the basketball career of Diana Taurasi, a legendary 3-point shooter. Mesmerized by Taurasi’s precision, Ananya embarked on a statistical exploration, revealing that each time Taurasi aimed for a 3-point shot (Success yields 3 points; failure yields 0.), she possessed a 37% chance of success, irrespective of her prior attempts. Curious about the outcome, Ananya sought to uncover the variance in the total number of points scored by Taurasi given, that she takes seven 3-point shots during a gripping game.

Ben, a senior in college, can't decide if he should apply to business school or law school. (His parents are both psychologists so he isn't interested in science, talking about feelings or anything which requires interpersonal skills). He decides to take both the GMAT (for business school) and the LSAT (for law school). His scores are in the table below. Assuming both standardized tests are normally distributed, which test did he do better on? Find the z-score and percentile rank for each test score. 5.

Any basketball fan knows that Shaquille O’Neal, one of the NBA’s most dominant centers of the last twenty years, always had difficulty shooting free throws. Over the course of his career, his overall made free-throw percentage was 53.3%. During one off-season, Shaq had been working with an assistant coach on his free-throw technique. During the next season, a simple random sample showed that Shaq made 26 of 39 free-throw attempts. Test the claim that Shaq has significantly improved his free-throw shooting using a 0.05 significance level. What is the probability of Z obt? ( around to the nearest thousandth)

Suppose we have the results of a Gallup survey (simple random sampling) which asks participants for their opinions regarding their attitudes toward technology. Based on 1500 interviews, the Gallup report makes confidence statements about its conclusions. If 64% of those interviewed favored modern technology, we can be 95% confident that the percent of those who favored modern technology is between
Suppose you are conducting a study to compare the effectiveness of two different medications in treating a particular condition. If 30% of patients using medication A experience symptom relief, while 45% of patients using medication B experience symptom relief, what is the odds ratio of medication B being more effective than medication A? Additionally, what is the number needed to treat (NNT) for medication B, and what does this value tell you about the clinical significance of the medication's effectiveness?
1. In 1955, Life Magazine reported that a 25-year-old mother of 3 children, worked an average of 80 hours each week. Recently, some researchers have been studying whether the women’s movement has resulted in an increase in the work week hours for women (combining employment and at-home work). A study was done to find out if the mean work week has, in fact, increased. A random sample of 81 women were surveyed and the mean was 83 hours with a standard deviation of 10. Using a 95% confidence level, does the sample data support the researcher’s claim that the average number of weekly hours that women work, is greater than 80? a. What statistical test will you use to test this data ? b. State the null and alternative hypothesis. i. H0: ii. Ha: c. What are the confidence intervals? d.
