Georgeenjoys throwing horseshoes. Last week he tossed 150 shoes and obtained 36 ringers. (Ringers are good.) Next week he plans to throw 250 shoes. Assume that George’s tosses satisfy the assumptions of Bernoulli trials. (a) Calculate the point prediction of the number of ringers that George will obtain next week. (b) Calculate the 90% prediction interval for the number of ringers George will obtain next week. (c) It turns out that next week George obtains 62 ringers. Given this information, comment

An ice cream parlor serves 10 flavors of ice cream. Carrie and Jimmy each randomly and independently choose 3 out of those 10 flavors. Use the method of indicators to find the expected number of flavors chosen by both Carrie and Jimmy and simplify your final answer**** ****Each person has to choose 3 different flavors (Vanilla- Vanilla-Chocolate is not ok) but their flavors are allowed to overlap (Chocolate-Vanilla-Strawberry for Carrie and Chocolate- Blueberry-Mint for Jimmy is ok). The order of flavors doesn’t matter.

Tables Keypad Keyboard Shortcuts In studying his campaign plans, Mr. Singleton wishes to estimate the difference between men's and women's views regarding his appeal as a candidate. He asks his campaign manager to take two random independent samples and find the 98 % confidence interval for the difference. A random sample of 537 male voters and 613 female voters was taken. 303 men and 193 women favored Mr. Singleton as a candidate. Find this confidence interval. Step 1 of 4: Find the values of the two sample proportions, 1 and 2. Round your answers to three decimal places. Answer How to enter your answer (opens in new window) P1 P2 II

Economy in Recession? The Quinnipiac University Poll conducts nationwide surveys as a public service and for research. This problem is based on the results of one such poll. Independent simple random samples of registered Democrats, Republicans, and Independents were asked, “Do you think the United States economy is in a recession now?” Of the 628Democrats sampled, 220 responded “yes,” as did 349 of the 471 Republicans sampled and 342 of the 646 Independents sampled. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the percentages of registered Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who thought the U.S. economy was in a recession at the time?

A high school track coach wanted to test whether giving the students an energy drink could affect performance during the 100 meter race. The coach split the 26 boys into two equal sized groups, where Group 1 was given the energy drink and Group 2 was not. The 100 meter race times were recorded during practice and shown in the table below. What inference can be made about the results? Group 1 Group 2 12.2 13 12.5 12.3 13.3 12.8 12.9 13 13 13.8 12.1 13 13 13 13 13 12.1 13 13 13 12.1 13 12.8 13 13 12.6 Mean: 12.7 Mean: 13 Since the simulation shows ( many cases or free cases )? where a mean difference of ( solve for this answer ) or less occurred when the groups were re-randomized, it can be inferred that the mean difference observed in the study was ( very possibly or very unlikely ) ?due to the random assignment of participants into groups, so the results of the study are (…
Perform a statistical analysis / test of hypothesis Suppose a researcher wants to see whether teaching students to read using a computer game gives better results than teaching with a tried-and-true phonics method. She randomly selects 20 students and puts them into 10 pairs according to their reading readiness level, age, IQ, and so on. She randomly selects one student from each pair to learn to read via the computer game, and the other learns to read using the phonics method. At the end of the study, each student takes the same reading test. The data are shown in the following table. Student Pair 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Reading Score under Computer Method 85 80 95 87 78 82 57 69 73 99 Reading Score under phonics method 80 80 88 90 72 79 50 73 78 95 Test whether there is a significant difference between the computer method and the phonics method. If there is a significant difference, which particular method…
Describe a potential example of a "repeated measures t-tests" (see Ch. 11) that could be conducted within the social sciences, and list what you believe the outcome of the research would be for this study. No data or calculations are necessary whatsoever, but you should describe why you developed your chosen hypothesis (e.g., based on your own understanding of current research, real world observations, a wild guess, etc.).
Determining whether two samples are independent or paired a... Charmaine has two ways to travel from her home in Norco to her office in Los Angeles. One is to go via the San Bernardino Freeway, and the other is to go via the Pomona Freeway. Recently, a lane was added to the San Bernardino Freeway. So, Charmaine wants to determine if it is now faster to take the San Bernardino Freeway than the Pomona Freeway. She selected a random sample of 12 of her trips via the San Bernardino Freeway and a random sample of 12 of her trips via the Pomona Freeway. The two samples were chosen separately, so that the selection of the trips via the San Bernardino Freeway did not affect the selection of the trips via the Pomona Freeway. Charmaine recorded the travel times (in minutes) for the trips in each of the two samples. The following table gives the data, sample means, and sample standard deviations. S.B. Fwy 79, 76, 66, 69, 71, 75, 67, 75, 65, 60, 76, 74 Pomona Fwy 63, 76, 79, 78, 74, 71, 65, 75,…
Scenario: A researcher wants to know whether a hard copy of a textbook provides additional benefits over an e-book. She conducts a study where participants are randomly assigned to read a passage either on a piece of paper or on a computer screen. After a distractor task lasting 30 minutes, the participants are tested for their comprehension of the passage with a multiple-choice test containing 10 questions about their passage. Comprehension was scored using percent correct (0 — 100%). The researcher predicts that those randomly assigned to read the passage on a piece of paper will remember significantly more than those who read the passage online. Question: What is the research / alternate hypothesis for this scenario? People who read a passage on a piece of paper will remember more than those who read a passage online. People who read a passage on a piece of paper will not remember more than those who read a passage online. Amount remembered of a passage will vary based…
