A auto shop wants to examine the proportion of customers that have to return after an appointment. Last year, an examination of 264 customers found that 30.1% had to return after an appointment. You instituted some changes at the auto shop this year, and found from a sample of 326 customers that 22.4% had to return after an appointment. You want to conduct an analysis to determine if there has been an increase in the proportion of customers that need to return after an appointment since the past year, with a = 0. 10. Using this information, what is the critical value of your analysis? Round your final answer to two decimal places. 2.11 1.96 2.33 1.28 1.64
6.34 Barking deer. Microhabitat factors associated with forage and bed sites of barking deer in Hainan Island, China were examined. In this region woods make up 4.8% of the land, cultivated grass plot makes up 14.7%, and deciduous forests make up 39.6%. Of the 426 sites where the deer forage, 4 were categorized as woods, 16 as cultivated grassplot, and 61 as deciduous forests. The table below summarizes these data.39 Woods Cultivated grassplot Deciduous forests Other Total 4 16 61 345 426 (a) Write the hypotheses for testing if barking deer prefer to forage in cer- tain habitats over others.

An auto shop wants to examine the proportion of customers that have to return after an appointment. Last year, an examination of 375 customers found that 26.9% had to return after an appointment. You instituted some changes at the auto shop this year, and found from a sample of 430 customers that 33.9% had to return after an appointment. You want to conduct an analysis to determine if there has been an increase in the proportion of customers that need to return after an appointment since the past year, with a significance level of 1%.

Education influences attitude and lifestyle. Differences in education are a big factor in the "generation gap." Is the younger generation really better educated? Large surveys of people age 65 and older were taken in n1 = 38 U.S. cities. The sample mean for these cities showed that x1 = 15.2% of the older adults had attended college. Large surveys of young adults (age 25 - 34) were taken in n2 = 37 U.S. cities. The sample mean for these cities showed that x2 = 18.1% of the young adults had attended college. From previous studies, it is known that ?1 = 6.4% and ?2 = 4.8%. Does this information indicate that the population mean percentage of young adults who attended college is higher? Use ? = 0.05. (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) A random sample of n1 = 12 winter days in Denver gave a sample mean pollution index x1 = 43.

Among the literature on quitting smoking are data detailing the relative successfulness of people of different ages in quitting smoking. A study of 400 adults who began various smoking-cessation programs produced the data in the table below. In the table, each participant is classified according to two variables: length of their smoking cessation period ("Less than two weeks", "Between two weeks and one year", or "At least one year") and age ("21-34", or "35 and over"). In the table, "less than two weeks" means that the individual returned to smoking within two weeks of beginning the program; "between two weeks and one year" means that the individual lasted the first two weeks without smoking but retuned to smoking within a year; and "at least one year" means that the individual has not smoked for at least a year since beginning the program. The table is a contingency table whose cells contain the respective observed frequencies of classifications of the 400 smokers. In addition, three…

5. An article in Agricultural Engineering (December 1964, pp. 672-673) described an experiment in which the daily weight gain of swine is evaluated at different levels of housing temperature. The mean weight of each group of swine at the start of the experiment is considered to be a nuisance factor. The data from this experiment are as follows: Mean Weight (lbs) Housing Air Temperatures (°F) 100 50 60 70 80 90 1.37 1.58 2.00 1.97 1.40 100 0.39 150 1.47 1.75 2.16 1.82 1.14 -0.19 200 1.19 1.91 2.22 1.67 0.88 -0.77 Does housing air temperature affect mean weight gain at a = 0.05?
