- Are birthdays "evenly distributed" throughout the year, or are they more common during some parts of the year than others? Owners of a children's toy store chain in the Northwest asked just this question. Some data collected by the chain are summarized in the table below. The data were obtained from a random sample of 190 people. The birthdate of each person was recorded, and each of these dates was placed into one of four categories: winter (December 21-March 20), spring (March 21-June 20), summer (June 21-September 20), and fall (September 21-December 20). The numbers in the first row of the table are the frequencies observed in the sample for these season categories. The numbers in the second row are the expected frequencies under the assumption that birthdays are equally likely during each season of the year. The bottom row of numbers gives the following value for each of the season categories. Answer the following to summarize the test of the hypothesis that birthdays are equally…An article reported that in a particular year, there were 717 bicyclists killed on public roadways in a particular country, and that the average age of the cyclists killed was 43 years. These figures were based on an analysis of the records of all traffic-related deaths of bicyclists on public roadways of that country. (a) Does the group of 717 bicycle fatalities represent a census or a sample of the bicycle fatalities for that year? O a census O a sample (b) If the population of interest is bicycle traffic fatalities for this particular year, is the given average age of 43 years a number that describes a sample or a number that describes the population? O a number that describes a sample O a number that describes the populationThe United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducts the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) and reports a variety of information on each county in America. In the third quarter of 2016, the QCEW reported the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in all 3222 counties in America. Suppose that James is an economist who collects a simple random sample of the total taxable earnings of workers in 52 American counties during the third quarter of 2016. According to the QCEW, the true population mean and standard deviation of taxable earnings, in millions of dollars, by county are μ=28.29 and σ=33.493, respectively. Let ?X be the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in a county. The mean total taxable earnings of all wage earners in a county across all the counties in James' sample is x¯. Use the central limit theorem (CLT) to determine the probability ? that the mean taxable wages in James' sample of 52 counties will be less than $29…
- The following table shows the ethnic origins of two random samples of students from a Canadian university, one from 2012 and the other from 2022: European 2012 2022 African Asian 308 58 52 364 100 58 Note: Canadian born students are classified according to their ancestry. (a) What would be an appropriate test to check if there has been an overall change in the distribution of ethnic origins among the student population of that university between 2012 and 2022? Justify your answer. ] Other 22 38 (b) Based on your answer in (a) above, test whether there has been an overall change in the distribution of ethnic origins among the student population of that university between 2012 and 2022. Use a 5% significance level and show your detailed manual calculations and all the steps of your hypothesis test (hypotheses, significance level, expected cell frequencies (rounded to 1 decimal), test statistic, decision criteria, critical value and p-value, conclusion with justification).

She obtained the data in the following table from a random sample of immigrants from these countries (incomes in thousands of dollars). Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that there is no difference in the earnings of immigrants from the four different countries. Country I Country II Country III Country IV 12.3 8.3 20.4 17.3 9.1 17.2 16.5 8.7 10.9 19.2 22.8 14.2 8.8 10.2 5.5 21.4 16.1 19.2 19.3 (b) Find SSTOT, SSBET, and SSW and check that SSTOT = SSBET + SSW.

A college president wonders if the proportion of students enrolled at her college who binge drink is actually lower than the national proportion. In a commissioned study, 346 students are selected randomly from a list of all students enrolled at the college. Of these, 135 admit to having engaged in binge drinking.The college president is more interested in testing her belief that the proportion of students at her college who engage in binge drinking is lower than the national proportion of 0.41. What is the P-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) P-value =
- A news article estimated that only 6% of those ages 65 and older who prefer to watch the news, rather than to read or listen, watch the news online. This estimate was based on a survey of a large sample of adult Americans. Consider the population consisting of all adult Americans ages 65 and older who prefer to watch the news, and suppose that for this population the actual proportion who prefer to watch online is 0.06. (a) A random sample of n = 100 people will be selected from this population and p̂, the proportion of people who prefer to watch online, will be calculated. What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p̂? (Round your standard deviation to four decimal places.) meanstandard deviation (b) Is the sampling distribution of p̂ approximately normal for random samples of size n = 100? Explain.

A college president wonders if the proportion of students enrolled at her college that binge drink is actually different than the national proportion. In a commissioned study, 364 students are selected randomly from a list of all students enrolled at the college. Of these, 136 admitted to having engaged in binge drinking. Calculate the statistic for this sample. Calculate the standard error for this sample. Verify that we can use a normal distribution for this sample.

- Question 2(b) b) Employers want to know which days of the week employees tend to take as a casual day in a five-day workweek. The majority of employers would like to believe that the employees would equally choose either of the days during the week. A random sample of 80 managers was asked on which day of the week, their employees were like to take. The data are given below. Day of the Week taken for Casual Day Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Monday Friday Number of employees who take day off 15 12 20 19 For the population of employees, do the days for the highest frequency occur with equal frequencies (i.e. distributed uniformly) during a five-day workweek?
