High school seniors with strong acadèmic records apply to the nation's most selective colleges in greater numbers each year. Because the number of slots remains relatively stable, some colleges reject more early applicants. Suppose that for a recent admissions class, an Ivy League college received 2851 applications for early admission. Of this group, it admitted 1033 students early, rejected 854 outright, and deferred 964 to the regular admission pool for further consideration. In the past, this school has admitted 18% of the deferred early admission applicants during the regular admission process. Counting the students admitted early and the students admitted during the regular admission process, the total class size was 2375. Let E, R, and D represent the events that a student who applies for early admission is admitted early, rejected outright, or deferred to the regular admissions pool. Use the data to estimate P(E), P(R), and P(D). а. b. Are events E and D mutually exclusive? Find P(EN D).

29. High school seniors with strong academic records apply to the nation's most selective
colleges in greater numbers each year. Because the number of slots remains relatively stable,
some colleges reject more early applicants. Suppose that for a recent admissions class, an
Ivy League college received 2851 applications for early admission. Of this group, it admitted
1033 students early, rejected 854 outright, and deferred 964 to the regular admission pool
for further consideration. In the past, this school has admitted 18% of the deferred early
admission applicants during the regular admission process. Counting the students admitted
early and the students admitted during the regular admission process, the total class size was
2375. Let E, R, and D represent the events that a student who applies for early admission is
admitted early, rejected outright, or deferred to the regular admissions pool.

The owner of a small clothing store is concerned that only 28% of people who enter her store actually buy something. A marketing salesman suggests that she invest in a new line of celebrity mannequins (think Seth Rogan modeling the latest jeans...). He loans her several different "people" to scatter around the store for a two-week trial period. The owner carefully counts how many shoppers enter the store and how many buy something so that at the end of the trial she can decide if she'll purchase the mannequins. She'll buy the mannequins if there is evidence that the percentage of people that buy something increases. a) Write the owner's null and alternative hypotheses. b) In this context describe a Type I error and the impact such an error would have on the store. c) In this context describe a Type II error and the impact such an error would have on the store. d) Based on data that she collected during the trial period the store's owner found that a 98% confidence interval for the…

If you are going to construct a representative sample of this population, approximately how many of the likely voters in the sample should be: a. Republican b. Democrat c. Independent d. Notice the sum of the percents is not 100. What could account for this?

A large retail lawn care dealer currently provides a 2-year warranty on all lawn mowers sold at its stores. A new employee suggested that the dealer could save money by just not offering the warranty. To evaluate this suggestion, the dealer randomly decides whether or not to offer the warranty to the next 50 customers who enter the store and express an interest in purchasing a lawnmower. Out of the 25 customers offered the warranty, 10 purchased a mower as compared to 4 of 25 not offered the warranty. a. Place a 95% confidence interval on 7₁ - 72, the difference in the proportions of customers purchasing lawnmowers with and without the warranty. b. Test the research hypothesis that offering the warranty will increase the propor- tion of customers who will purchase a mower. Use a = .05. c. Are the conditions for using a large-sample test to answer the question in part (b) satisfied? If not, apply an exact procedure,
A school Psychologist is interested in the effect of violent television programs on a child's agression depending on if the show is a cartoon or not. Eighty children were recruited and were divided into equal groups. Half of the children watched a violent television program while the other half watched a non- violent program.

The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.

The manager of a theater that is open to residents of two towns, A and B, wants to know if the proportion of households from A that use the library is smaller than the proportion of households from B. In order to test this, the manager asks 45 households in A and 49 households in B whether anyone in their household had used the theater last summer. 23 of the households surveyed in A responded "yes", and 35 of the households in B responded "yes". Find the p-value that would be used to make a conclusion for this hypothesis test.
Suppose you try to conduct a presidential approval poll of 10,000 likely U.S. voters. You know that 44% of the voters are registered with the Independent party, 28% are registered with the Reform party and 23% are registered with the Green party. If you are going to construct a representative sample of this population, approximately how many of the likely voters in the sample should be Green party?
In advance of the 1936 Presidential Election, a magazine titled Literary Digest released the results of an opinion poll predicting that the republican candidate Alf Landon would win by a large margin. The magazine sent post cards to approximately 10,000,000 prospective voters. These prospective voters were selected from the subscription list of the magazine, from automobile registration lists, from phone lists, and from club membership lists. Approximately 2,300,000 people returned the postcards. Think about the state of the United States in 1936. Explain why a sample chosen from magazine subscription lists, automobile registration lists, phone books, and club membership lists was not representative of the population of the United States at that time. What effect does the low response rate have on the reliability of the sample? Are these problems examples of sampling error or nonsampling error? During the same year, George Gallup conducted his own poll of 30,000 prospective…
After an earthquake, 32 homes in a remote area were checked by public safety officers before nightfall. They found that 22 of the houses had no gas, including 10 houses whose own gas lines were damaged. (A house loses its gas service if it has damage to its own line or if there is damage to the feeder line.) Of those houses that lost their gas, only 4 did not lose their electricity. Twenty-four houses in all had no electricity, the same number of them lost only their electricity as those that both lost electricity and had damage to their gas lines. How many of the houses checked did not lose either gas or electricity, and how many lost only their gas service! Students, draw anywhere on this slide!
