In 1983, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky posed the now famous "Linda" problem, asking participants to rank the probabilities of certain statements after reading a short description. Replicating this experiment, a statistics teacher (named Mr. Zak) constructed a similar question about a young woman named "Wendy." Students read a short description of Wendy and were asked to determine which statement is more probable: (A) "Wendy is currently a public high school teacher," or (B) "Wendy is currently a public high school teacher and rides her bike to work most days." Based on Kahneman's results, this statistics teacher hypothesized that 30% of well-educated high school students would choose option B. As it turned out 68 students (in 2019) participated in the experiment and 25 chose option B. If we presume the 68 students are a random sample from well-educated high school and all conditions for inference are satisfied, what is the test statistic for a test of significance against the teacher's hypothesis? 1.217 O 1.157 O 1.374 O 2.059 2.378

Problem #6 - Vegetables According to the Food and Drug Administration, 65% of all children in the U.S. dislike vegetables. Restate probabilities using correct notation and compute. A. Suppose you randomly select a child at random. What is the probability she will dislike vegetables? B. Suppose you randomly select two children at random. i. Is the vegetable preference of one child independent of the vegetable preference of the other? EXPLAIN. What is the probability that both children will dislike vegetables? ii. C. Suppose you randomly select five children at random. i. ii. iii. What is the probability that all five will dislike vegetables? If all five dislike vegetables, how many like vegetables? EXPLAIN. What is the probability that at least one likes vegetables?
The Monty Hall problem is a brain teaser, in the form of a probability puzzle, loosely based on the American television game show Let's Make a Deal and named after its original host, Monty Hall. The problem was originally posed in a letter by Steve Selvin to the American Statistician in 1975. It became famous as a question from a reader's letter, quoted in Marilyn vos Savant's "Ask Marilyn" column in Parade magazine in 1990: Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice? Would you stay with your original door selection, or would you switch? Explain your reasoning.
Pamela, and educational psychologist, is interested in assessing whether there are differences in how college students with different majors might respond to an ethical dilemma. To this end, she performed a study in which undergraduate marketing and finance majors were asked what they would do if they found a $100 bill in a Walton College of Business classroom. Specifically, would they turn in the $100 bill to the Walton College of Business lost and found? Of the 69 marketing majors who were randomly sampled, 52 said yes and of the 131 finance majors who were randomly sampled, 120 said yes (assume alpha equals .05). z-Test: Two Sample for Means t-Test: Two-Sample Assming Equal Variances Marketing Finance Marketing Finance Меan 0.75362 0.91603 Меan 0.75362 0.91603 Known Variance 0.43 0.28 Variance 0.18841 0.07751 Observations 69 131 Observations 69 131 Hypothesized Mean Difference Pooled Variance 0.1156 -1.7753 Hypothesized Mean DifferenCE z P(Z<-z) one-tail z Critical one-tail P(Z<-z)…
Dr. Moo conducted a research project in which she compared the impact of two types of therapy (pizza therapy and chocolate therapy) and gender on college students’ happiness. How many null hypotheses did she have, and how would you write them?
Solve the problem that involves computing expected values in a game of chance. A numbers game run by many state governments allows a player to select a three-digit number from 000 to 999. There are 1000 such numbers. A bet of $14 is placed on a number. If the number is selected, the player wins $1,400. If any other number is selected, the player wins nothing. Find the expected value for the game. A. $12.60 OB. $1.40 OC. -$12.60 OD. -$1.40
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?

When playing games of chance like roulette, people often say that a particular outcome is due, implying that one income is more likely because it has not happened in a while. This is fallacy because in these examples of outcome of each trial is: a. independent b. dependent c. subjective d. interrelative
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 (…

A research group conducted an extensive survey of 2978 wage and salaried workers on issues ranging from relationships with their bosses to household chores. The data were gathered through hour-long telephone interviews with a nationally representative sample. In response to the question, "What does success mean to you?" 1583 responded, "Personal satisfaction from doing a good job." Let p be the population proportion of all wage and salaried workers who would respond the same way to the stated question. Find a 90% confidence interval for p.
