During the current quarantine, a certain ISE statistics professor has been playing video games on an Xbox with his 11-year-old son. The dad never wins. However, often during a match the kid goes out of his way to not just beat his dad, but to humiliate him. After several games, the dad collected data on the number of times his son humilates him in a single match: in 43% of the matches, the son humilates the dad 4 times; 24% of the time, the dad is humilated 3 times; 18% of the time, he is humilated twice; 15% of the time he is humilated only once; and there are no matches in which the dad was not humilated by the son. Compute the variance of the number of times the dad is humilated by his son. (four decimal places)

Debra is a stats keeper for the local youth soccer league. At the end of the season, she calculated the average number of passes completed in a game for a random group of 35 players to be 16.5 passes, their pass accuracy to be 55%, and that 17 of the players were left-footed. In contrast, the average number of passes completed in a game for all the players in the league was 24.8 passes, with a pass accuracy of 67%, while 115 players were left-footed. (a) For Debra's group, identify the population and the sample. Population: (Choose one) Sample: (Choose one) (b) Choose whether each number described below is a parameter or a statistic for Debra's group. × Number The 115 left-footed players among all the players in the youth soccer league The 67% pass accuracy among all the players in the youth soccer league The average of 16.5 passes completed in a game by the random group of 35 players Parameter Statistic
A physician claims that a person's diastolic blood pressure can be lowered if, instead of taking a drug, the person meditates each evening. Ten subjects are randomly selected and pretested. Their blood pressures, measured in millimeters of mercury, are listed below. The 10 patients are instructed in basic meditation and told to practice it each evening for one month. At the end of the month, their blood pressures are taken again. The data are listed below. Test the physician's claim. Use α = 0.01.

x Resorts & Spas, a magazine devoted to upscale vacations and accommodations, published its Reader's Choice List of the top 20 independent beachfront boutique hotels in the world. The data shown are the scores received by these hotels based on the results from Resorts & Spas' annual Readers' Choice Survey. Each score represents the percentage of respondents who rated a hotel as excellent or very good on one of three criteria (comfort, amenities, and in-house dining). An overall score was also reported and used to rank the hotels. The highest ranked hotel, the Muri Beach Odyssey, has an overall score of 94.3, the highest component of which is 97.7 for in-house dining. If required, round your answer to three decimal places.

Please give correct answer ASAP Example 5: A local college is interested in knowing if the proportion of high school students taking a fourth year of math is greater for students in suburban schools than in rural schools. To help answer this question, the college obtains a random sample of 500 senior students from suburban school districts and a random sample of 450 senior students from rural school districts across the country. The survey reveals that, of the 500 suburban students, 323 are taking a fourth year of math while only 279 of the 450 rural students are taking a fourth year of math. Is there evidence to suggest that the proportion of seniors taking a fourth year of math in suburban school districts is greater than the proportion of seniors taking a fourth year of math in rural school districts at the 5% level?
In an election, the population consists of the people who voted. Although there is overall data on how the population voted, there is no population data on how specific individuals voted. Exit polls are small surveys that use random sampling to ask voters questions immediately after they have voted. CNN conducted an exit poll in Texas after the 2016 presidential election. They asked a variety of questions, including whom the person voted for and their age. One age group of interest was 40–49 years. Although the proportion, ?, of voters ages 40–49 who voted for Donald Trump is not known, it does exist. Assume for this exercise that ?=0.540. Also assume that the exit poll consisted of 565 voters ages 40–49. Determine the value of ? such that in 99% of all samples of size 565, the proportion of Trump voters would be within ? of the population proportion, ?=0.540.
A social psychologist wants to know if people judge a person's attractiveness differently if they appear rich or poor. Two pictures were taken with the same model, one in expensive clothes standing next to a new sports car, and the other in old clothes standing next to an old hatchback car. In an online survey, participants were randomly divided so that they saw one of the two pictures and were asked to rate the model's attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 10. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups? one-sample t-test dependent samples t-test independent samples t-test ANOVA
In the NFL, Coaches can throw "challenge" flags if they believe officials have made an incorrect call on the field. Then, based upon further analysis, the call is either overturned (because the referees were incorrect) or upheld (referees were correct). In the first eight weeks of last NFL season, there were 316 challenges made, with 154 of those calls overturned. The NFL team owners used this data to begin a lawsuit that claimed referees were wrong more than 50% of the time in challenged situations. They want to perform statistical analysis before filing that lawsuit. For the following question, select the answer which correctly responds. Using the analysis presented in previous questions about this claim, is the NFL owners' complaint merited? That is, should they proceed in filing the lawsuit? O Yes O No

To get from Berkeley to the San Francisco airport (SFO) one can either take a shuttle van or drive. Either way, one must cross the San Francisco Bay Bridge. The shuttle van drops its passengers at the airport departure terminal. If one drives, he or she must park in a lot near the airport, then take a parking shuttle from the parking lot to the airport departure terminal. There is a 40% chance that the Bay Bridge will be congested with traffic. If it is, it takes 1.1 hours to drive to the parking lot. If not, it takes 40 minutes to drive to the parking lot. The parking shuttle runs every 10 minutes and takes 10 minutes to get to the airport departure terminal from the parking lot. Suppose it is equally likely that one must wait 0, 1, or 9 minutes for the parking shuttle once getting to the parking lot, and that the amount of time one must wait is independent of the amount of time it takes to drive to the parking lot from Berkeley. 2, If one takes the shuttle van from Berkeley directly…
A randomly sampled group of patients at a major U.S. regional hospital became part of a nutrition study on dietary habits. Part of the study consisted of a 50-question survey asking about types of foods consumed. Each question was scored on a scale from one (most unhealthy behavior) to five (most healthy behavior). The answers were summed and averaged. The population of interest is the patients at the regional hospital. The current survey was implemented after patients were subjected to this education, and it produced the following sample statistics for 25 patients sampled: and s = 1.02. We would like to know if the education improved nutrition behavior. We test the hypotheses H 0: = 2.9 versus Ha: > 2.9. The value of the t test is 1.96, and: a.
