Example 2: Susan is a local politician who is planning on running for re-election and she wants to figure out what proportion of registered voters in her area would support her. Her campaign manager brought in 100 individuals as a focus group. Out of those 100 brought in, 37 were republican, 41 were democrat, and 22 had no party preference. Susan was worried that this focus group wouldn't accurately represent the breakdown of registered voters in that area which is 45% republican, 45% democrat, and 10% no party preference. Carry out an appropriate hypothesis test at the a = 0.04 level to determine if there is evidence that the political breakdown of the focus group does not match the political breakdown of the registered voters %3D in the area.

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). Homeowner's Auto N L M H L 0.04 0.07 0.05 0.01 M 0.07 0.08 0.20 0.13 H 0.02 0.03 0.15 0.15 Suppose an individual having both types of policies is randomly selected. (d) Based on your answer in part (c), what is the probability that the two categories are different?(e) What is the probability that the individual has at least one low deductible level?(f) Using the answer in part (e), what is the probability that neither deductible level is low?
The operations manager of a company that manufactures tires wants to determine whether there are any differences in the quality of workmanship among the three daily shifts. She randomly selects 499 tires and carefully inspects them. Each tire is either classified as perfect, satisfactory, or defective, and the shift that produced it is also recorded. The two categorical variables of interest are: shift and condition of the tire produced. The data can be summarized by the accompanying two-way table. Perfect Satisfactory Defective Total Shift 1 106 124 2 232 Shift 2 66 85 3 154 Shift 3 36 74 3 113 Total 208 283 8 499 A) This sample has degree of freedom:��= If shift and quality are independent, thenB) With any expected count accurate to 2 decimal places, the expected count in row 1 column 1 is�1,1= C) With any component accurate to 2 decimal places, the component value in row 1 column 1 of the table iscomponent1,1= D) �2 value of this sample is�2= .

The Women’s Institutional Studies group at a Midwestern university wanted to compare the percentages of female faculty members in the various units on campus in Spring 2004. Of particular interest were the percentages of female faculty in the College of Education and in the College of Business . In a sample of 80 College of Education faculties, there were 36 females, and in a sample of 70 College of Business faculties, there were 15 females. Based upon this sample information, which of the following is the 98% confidence interval for the difference in the actual percentages of female faculty between College of Education and College of Business ? a. (0.075, 0.405). b. (0.123, 0.357). c. (-0.012, 0.252). d. (0.058, 0.422). e. (0.101, 0.379).

You have a small sample of voting information for a recent election. This includes data on which party a person voted for (dem-1 for democrat, =0 for other), gender (male=1 for male, =0 for female), income (in thousands of dollars) and age (in years). You create a table tabulating votes by gender. 1 dem I 01 11 0.045 O.348 545 0.602 -+- O.500 male 0 10 12 Total I 22 In a linear probability model of dem on male, what is the intercept coefficient?

2. You manage a company that purchases movie theaters. You have a spending goal of $4, 300 million for the purchase of new theaters to seat a total of 4,980 guests. You are given the following data: ABC theaters seat a total of 330 guests and cost $250 million each, CineMovie theaters seat 270- guests and cost $200 million each, and Movies 'n' Stuff theaters seat 240 guests and cost $250 million each. Your company wants you to buy half as many ABC theaters as the combined total of CineMovie and Movies 'n' Stuff theaters. You are tasked with determining how many of each theater your company should purchase. (a) Define variables and determine the constraints associated with this problem. Use them to set up a system of linear equations that models this scenario. (b) After applying Gauss-Jordan reduction, you arrive at the following augmented matrix: T10 0 6 Io 104 0 018 How many of each theater should your company purchase?
