A researcher is interested in the relationship between birth order and personality. A sample of n= 100 people is obtained, all of whom grew up in families as one of three children. Each person is given a personality test, and the researcher also records the person’s birth-order position (1st born, 2nd, or 3rd). The frequencies from this study are shown in the following table. On the basis of these data, can the researcher conclude that there is a significant relation between birth order and personality? Test at the .05 level of significance. Birth Position 1st 2nd 3rd Outgoing 13 31 16 Reserved 17 19 4 The expected frequencies for Outgoing, Birth Position 1st is: The expected frequencies for…
This graph shows data from people from the sub-Saharan area of Africa who have contracted HIV. Outcomes for the patients were recorded as one of 4 mutually possibilities: alive and still in care at the original clinic, alive and still in care after transferring to a new clinic, alive but no longer visiting a clinic, or they’re dead. Keep in mind that this data were collected are from clinical records. Assume that the sample is a random representation of sub-Saharan Africans with HIV. Antiretroviral therapy is used to treat patients. What is the experimental unit? What are the variables (including the types)?

QUESTION 3 H Profits for a skiing resort depends on how much snow falls in winter. The probability distribution of snowfall and resulting profitability is as follows: More than 40 inches K120 000 40% 20 to 40 inches K40 000 20% Less than 20 inches -K40 000 40% The owner receives an offer from a hotel chain to lease the resort at a guaranteed profit of K45 000 for the season. He is also considering leasing snow making equipment which would allow the resort to operate full-time regardless of the amount of natural snow fall which would ensure profit of K120 000 minus the cost of leasing and operating the snow equipment. The leasing cost is K12 000 per season regardless of usage. Operating cost will be K10 000 for natural snowfall of more than 40 inches, K50 000 for between 20 and 40 inches and K90 000 if it is less than 20 inches. Required: Construct a decision tree…
Consider the number of blocks on the master file that are read before the first block is updated. Each day, the transaction file is run against the master file and approximately 4% of master blocks are updated. If 10 blocks were read without needing to be updated, what is the probability that the first update will occur in the 14th block? Question 4 options: a 0.729 b 0.0354 c 0.271 d 0.0233
To maximize the probability that customers purchase products during a visit to a website, a company that provides marketing services and website management experiments with different offers and website design to understand customer Web behavior. Possible actions by the website include offering the customer an instant discount, offering the customer free shipping, or doing nothing. A recent experiment found that customers make purchases 6% of the time when offered the instant discount, 4% when offered free shipping, and 3% when no special offer was given. Suppose 30% of the customers are offered the discount and an additional 40% are offered free shipping. Complete parts a through c. a) Construct a probability tree for this experiment. Complete the probability tree below. Discount .30 -Free Shipping .40 Nothing - Purchase No Purchase Purchase No Purchase Purchase No Purchase (Type integers or decimals.) 0.6 -Discount and Purchase 0.94 Discount and No Purchase - Shipping and Purchase -…
