An insurance company offers four different deductible levels-none, low, medium, and high-for its homeowner's policyholders and three different levels-low, medium, and high-for its automobile policyholders. The accompanying table gives proportions for the various categories of policyholders who have both types of insurance. For example, the proportion of individuals with both low homeowner's deductible and low auto deductible is 0.07 (7% of all such individuals). Auto L M H Homeowner's NLMH Suppose an individual having both types of policies is randomly selected.

AutoWrecks, Inc. sells auto insurance. AutoWrecks keeps close tabs on its customers' driving records, updating its rates according to the trends indicated by these records. AutoWrecks' records indicate that, in a "typical" year, roughly 70% of the company's customers do not commit a moving violation, 10% commit exactly one moving violation, 15% commit exactly two moving violations, and 5% commit three or more moving violations. This past year's driving records for a random sample of 100 AutoWrecks customers are summarized by the first row of numbers in the table below. That row gives this year's observed frequency for each moving violation category for the sample of 100 AutoWrecks customers. The second row of numbers gives the frequencies expected for a sample of 100 AutoWrecks customers if the moving violations distribution for this year is the same as the distribution for a "typical" year. The bottom row of numbers contains the following value for each of the moving…
Corn crop yields vary by state. In 2008, IOWA averaged 172 bushels/acre. On September 3, 2009, the published market price per bushel was 319.25 cents/bushel. Jimmy Harold is analying a heavily leveraged purchase of some additional acreage, and his decision to purchase is based on the expected yield during his first crop year. After analyzing historical rainfall and long range weather forecasts, Jimmy compiled the following table of crop yields. rainfail yield(bu/acre) probability below average 154 0.15 average 172 0.4 above average 177 0.45 What is the expected corn crop yield, E[Y] based on the data in Jimmy's?

The owner of a chain of mini-markets wants to compare the sales performance of two of her stores, Store 1 and Store 2. Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same 12 days, chosen at random. She records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below. 5 6 7 Day Store 1 Store 2 1 Difference (Store 1 - Store 2) Send data to calculator ✓ 2 3 786 878 827 645 708 500 699 140 Yes No 4 646 802 712 579 527 367 76 115 66 181 133 8 (a) State the null hypothesis H and the alternative hypothesis H₁.

Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day.A sample of 80 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 11 went up.You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly less than 0.3.

Psychologists Erik Erikson suggested that individuals go through eight developmental stages of life. Erikson believed that at stage 8 (age 65 to death), an adult's fear of death can be predicted by the satisfaction they feel when reflecting back on their lives. To investigate, a psychiatrist interviewed a random sample of adults age 65 and older, and scored them on their satisfaction with their lives and their fear of death. The psychiatrist wants to confirm Erikson's theory. What can be concluded with a = 0.01? fear of death satisfied 4 3 4 2 2 10 3 2 4 7 3 4 8. 4 a) Select and compute the appropriate statistic. ---Select--- b) Input the appropriate value(s) to make a decision about Ho. p-value X ; Decision: Fail to reject H0 v c) Using the SPSS results, compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).
