Athlete ages: a sport reporter suggests that professional baseball players must be, on average, older than professional football players, since football is a contact sport and players are more susceptible to concussions and serious injuries (www.sports.yahoo.com). One player was selected at random from each team in both professional baseball (MLB) and professional football (NFL). The data are summarized below. MLB NFL 30 32 27.5 26.16 3.94 2.78 The researchers in decided to test the hypothesis. The degree of freedom formula gives 51.83df. Test the null hypothesis at a = 0.05. Is the alternative one or two sided?

Age and Gender. The U.S. Census Bureau publishes census data on the resident population of the United States in Current Population Survey. According to that document, 7.3% of male residents are in the age group 20–24 years. a. If no association exists between age group and gender, what percentage of the resident population would be in the age group 20–24 years? Explain your answer.b. If no association exists between age group and gender, what percentage of female residents would be in the age group 20–24 years? Explain your answer.c. There are about 158 million female residents of the United States. If no association exists between age group and gender, how many female residents would there be in the age group 20–24 years?d. In fact, there are some 10.9 million female residents in the age group 20–24 years. Given this number and your answer to part (c), what do you conclude?
The World Bank collects information on the life expectancy of a person in each country ("Life expectancy at," 2013) and the fertility rate per woman in the country ("Fertility rate," 2013). The data for 12 randomly selected countries for the year 2011 are shown in the table below.

The price of a share of stock divided by the company's estimated future earnings per share is called the P/E ratio. High P/E ratios usually indicate "growth" stocks, or maybe stocks that are simply overpriced. Low P/E ratios indicate "value" stocks or bargain stocks. A random sample of 51 of the largest companies in the United States gave the following P/E ratiost. 9 20 11 35 19 13 15 21 29 53 16 26 21 14 21 27 10 12 47 14 40 18 60 72 33 14 8 49 5 16 8 19 12 31 67 51 26 18 17 20 19 13 25 23 27 44 20 27 19 18 32 (a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to find the sample mean x and sample standard deviation s.

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.
The mean birthweight of an infant is thought to be associated with the smoking status of the mother during the first trimester of the pregnancy. Consider the following data from mothers divided into four categories according to smoking habits, and the corresponding birthweights of their children. Group 1: Mother is a non smoker (NON): 7.5, 6.2, 6.9, 7.4, 9.2, 8.3, 7.6 Group 2: Mother is an ex-smoker (EX): 5.8, 7.3, 8.2, 7.1, 7.8 Group 3: Mother is a current smoker, smokes less than 1 pack per day (CUR < 1) 5.9, 6.2, 5.8, 4.7, 8.3, 7.2, 6.2 Group 4: Mother is a current smoker, smokes more than or equal to 1 pack per day (Cur ≥ 1) 6.2, 6.8, 5.7, 4.9, 6.2, 7.1, 5.8, 5.4 Using Stata test whether or not the mean birthweights are equal across all four groups at the alpha = 0.05 level.

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.
