In an office complex of 1100 employees, on any given day some are at work and the rest are absent. It is known that if an employee is at work today, there is an 80% chance that she will be at work tomorrow, and if the employee is absent today, there is a 51% chance that she will be absent tomorrow. Suppose that today there are 913 employees at work.

A researcher wonders if there an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of Vitamin C taken. He recruits 93 volunteers and randomly assigns 26 of them to take 500 mg of Vitamin C, 18 of them to take 1000 mg of Vitamin C and the rest to take no Vitamin C. At the end of the study, it was determined that 30 of the volunteers did not have any colds where 15 of them were in the 500 mg group, 11 of them were in the 1000 mg group, and the rest took no Vitamin C. Test the appropriate hypothesis at a = 0.01. Round your answers to three decimal places, if necessary. Fill in the hypotheses below: Ho: There is not vitamin C taken. Ha: There is vitamin C taken. Complete the table of expected counts under the null hypothesis: No Vitamin C 500mg Vitamin C 1000mg Vitamin C No Vitamin C 500mg Vitamin C 1000mg Vitamin C At least one cold 33.194 an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of 17.613 12.194…
We want to know if students with bronchitis at 5 years have more cough symptoms when they grow up. Out of 290 children with Bronchitis at Age 5, 32 of them has cough symptoms at Age 12. Out of 970 children with no Bronchitis at Age 5, 43 of them has cough symptoms at Age 12. Is the cough symptom equally prevalent in both populations?
Based on long experience, an airline found that about 4% of the people making reservations on a flight from Miami to Denver do not show up for the flight. Suppose the airline overbooks this flight by selling 267 ticket reservations for an airplane with only 255 seats.
On a particular night, a baseball stadium sells 60% of its seats, and of those, 15% do not end up showing up to the game. Assuming everyone present is sitting in a seat, what percentage of seats in the stadium are empty?
An anger-management course claims that, after completing its seminar, participants will lose their tempers less often. Always a skeptic, you decide to test this claim. A random sample of 12 seminar participants is chosen, and these participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the two weeks prior to the course. After the course is over, the same participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the next two weeks. The following table lists the results of the survey. Using these data, test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let participants before completing the anger-management course be Population 1 and let participants after completing the anger-management course be Population 2.

Mateo believes that completely cutting caffeine out of a person's diet will allow them more restful sleep at night. He randomly selects 8 adults to help him test this theory. Each person is asked to consume two caffeinated beverages per day for 28 days and then cut back to no caffeinated bevarages for an additional 28 days. During each period, the participants record the number of nights of restful sleep that they had. The following table gives the results of the study. Test Mateo's claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Give answers to 4 decimal places as needed.

In a series of studies, Sebastian Deri and his colleagues (2017) asked multiple groups about the number of friend groups they had and how often they attended different social events. They then asked participants how they thought their own numbers compared to other people's: Did participants see themselves as less social, the same as, or more social than others? In the first study, the researchers reported that: "Three hundred four participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (150 women; Mage = 37.1; 78% White, 10% Black, and 6% Asian) completed a survey in exchange for modest payment" (p. 860). What do the researchers mean by "Amazon's Mechanical Turk" with respect to their sample of participants? O A. An archival data set that already exists and from which researchers can use data O B. An online tool that researchers can use to recruit people to participate in research in exchange for a small payment O C. An e-book sold by Amazon that includes contact information for possible…
