(a) The following diagram shows the movement of Kenyan households among three income groups: affluent, middle class, and poor, over the 11-year period 1980–1991. AFFLUENT 27.1% Sh72,000 (in 1994) 7.5% MIDDLE CLASS 8.5% Sh24,000 (in 1994) 30.4% POOR (i) Use the transitions shown in the diagram to construct a transition matrix (assuming zero probabilities for the transitions between affluent and poor). (ii) Assuming that the trend shown was to continue, what percent of households' classified as affluent in 1980 -1991, were predicted to become poor in 1993? (iii) According to the model, what percentage of all Kenyan households will be in each income bracket in the long term?

You have been assigned to test the hypothesis that the average number of cars waiting in line for the drive-thru window during lunch hour differs between Chick-fil-A, Wendy's, and McDonald's. The following data show the number of cars in line during randomly selected times during the lunch hour at all three chains. Chick-fil-A(1) Wendy's(2) McDonald's(3) 7 7 6 10 8 7 11 5 6 8 3 7 9 2 9 Perform a one-way ANOVA using α = 0.05 to determine if a difference exists in the average number of cars waiting in line at the drive-thru during the lunch hour between these chains.
Suppose you are a production manager for a small firm that manufactures designer phone cases. Your production facility utilizes three machines. Quality is binary — each phone case is either defective or it is not defective. Each hour, Machines 1, 2, and 3 produce 10, 10 and 20 phone cases, respectively. But because the machines differ slightly in their technology, data on past production has shown that they differ in terms of their rates of defective output — specifically, Machines 1, 2, and 3 have rates of defective production of 2%, 4%, and 5%, respectively. If one phone case is selected randomly from one hour’s total output, and that phone case is found to be defective, what is the probability that it was produced by Machine 1? Machine 2? Machine 3?
Beryllium disease: Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure 5 Diseased 15 7. 19 Sensitized 12 22 14 Normal 66 145 197 Send data to Excel Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the a = 0.10 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude?

The owner of a chain of mini-markets wants to compare the sales performance of two of her stores, Store 1 and Store 2. Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same sample of days. After choosing a random sample of 10 days, she records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below. Day 1 2 3 7 8 10 Store 1 642 320 937 399 946 544 562 257 758 538 Store 2 601 68 841 323 834 603 486 92 480 268 Difference - 59 41 (Store 1 - Store 2) 252 96 76 112 76 165 278 270 Send data to calc... v Based on these data, can the owner conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the mean daily sales of the two stores differ? Answer this question by performing a hypothesis test regarding µ, (which is µ with a letter "d" subscript), the population mean daily sales difference between the two stores. Assume that this population of…
Scenario 3. A researcher creates a new program for college students to reduce feelings of loneliness and enhance students' engagement on campus. This new program helps students to find student groups and clubs that fit their interests. She randomly assigns students to either enroll in this new program (the experimental group) or to not enroll in the program (the control group). She compares students' feelings of engagement between the two groups, and expects that engagement will be higher among the students that are in the program. What is the most appropriate test statistic to use to test the hypothesis in scenario 3? A) z-test B) z-score C) Independent samples t-Test D) Correlation Coefficient E) One-way ANOVA F) Dependent samples t-Test G) Factor Analysis H) Structural Equation Model What is the null hypothesis for scenario 3? A) H0: engagement in the experimental group ≤ engagement in the control group B) H0 : engagement in the experimental group = engagement in the control…
Neuroscience researchers examined the impact of environment on rat development. Rats were randomly assigned to be raised in one of the four following test conditions: Impoverished (wire mesh cage - housed alone), standard (cage with other rats), enriched (cage with other rats and toys), super enriched (cage with rats and toys changes on a periodic basis). After two months, the rats were tested on a variety of learning measures (including the number of trials to learn a maze to a three perfect trial criteria), and several neurological measure (overall cortical weight, degree of dendritic branching, etc.). The data for the maze task is below. Compute the appropriate test for the data provided below. Include solution. Thank you
