In sociology, a personal network is defined as the people with whom you make frequent contact. A research program used a stratified random sample of men and women born between 1908 and 1937 to gauge the size of the personal network of older adults. Each adult in the sample was asked to "please name the people you have frequent contact with and who are also important to you." Based on the number of people named, the personal network size for each adult was determined. The responses of 2,821 adults in this sample yielded statistics on network size, that is, the mean number of people named per person was 14.3, with a standard deviation of 10.3. Complete parts a through c. a. Form a 95% confidence interval for the mean personal network size of all older adults.

A transportation engineer at OSU conducts a study on bus ridership to the 14th and Monroe bus stop near campus. They collect data from riders by surveying every 10th person who arrives at the bus stop, and end up with a sample of 138 people. For each person surveyed, they collect the following information: OSU student (yes/no) Distance traveled to get to campus (miles) Number of bus rides per week Satisfaction with bus service (very unsatisfied, unsatisfied, neutral, satisfied, very satisfied) What sampling scheme is the engineer using to collect data? Simple random sampling Stratified sampling Systematic sampling Convenience sampling
Does the location of your seat in a classroom play a role in attendance or grade? 400 students in a physics course were randomly assigned to one of four groups. The 100 students in group 1 sat 0 to 4 meters from the front of the class, the 100 students in group 2 sat 4 to 6.5 meters from the front, the 100 students in group 3 sat 6.5 to 9 meters from the front, and the 100 students in group 4 sat 9 to 12 meters from the front. Complete parts (a) through (c). Use the Tech Help button for further assistance. (a) For the first half of the semester, the attendance for the whole class averaged 83%. So, if there is no effect due to seat location, we would expect 83% of students in each group to attend. The data show the attendance history for each group. How many students in each group attended, on average? Is there a significant difference among the groups in attendance patterns? Group Attendance 4 0.84 0.84 0.84 0.80 The number of students who attended in the first group was The number of…

Inspired by the example about how background music influences choice of entrée at a restaurant, a statistics student decided to investigate other ways to influence a person's behavior. Using 60 volunteers, she randomly assigned 20 volunteers to get a "red" survey, 20 volunteers to get a "blue" survey, and 20 volunteers to get a control survey. The first three questions on each survey were the same, but the fourth and fifth questions were different. For example, the fourth question on the "red" survey was "When you think of the color red, what do you think about?" On the blue survey, the question replaced red with blue. On the control survey, the last two questions were not about color. As a reward, each volunteer was allowed to choose a chocolate candy in a red wrapper or a chocolate candy in a blue wrapper. The table shows the result of the experiment. We want to test Ho: The distribution of candy choice is the same for subjects like these who receive the red survey, the blue survey,…
Each person in a representative sample of 448 college students age 18 to 24 was classified according to age and to the response to the following question: "How often have you used a credit card to buy items knowing you wouldn't have money to pay the bill when it arrived?" Possible responses were never, rarely, sometimes, or frequently. The responses are summarized in the table. Age 18 to 20 Age 21 to 22 Age 23 to 24 Never 70 62 29 Rarely 38 34 32 Sometimes 33 42 40 Frequently 12 24 32 A USE SALT Do these data provide evidence that there is an association between age group and the response to the question? Test the relevant hypotheses using a = 0.01. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: The proportions falling into each of the three age groups are the same for all four responses to the question. The proportions falling into each of the three age groups are not the same for all four responses to the question. Ho: There is an association between age group and the…

In a study researching how donating to charity can affect a person's happiness, 96 participants were given $5 a day for one week. Each participant was randomly assigned to one of two groups. Those assigned to the first group were asked to spend the money on themselves, and those assigned to the second group were asked to donate the money to charity. At the end of the week, all of the participants were asked to rate their overall level of happiness on a scale from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater levels of happiness. Which of the following are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses to test whether the sample data provide convincing statistical evidence that donating to charity results in greater happiness than spending on oneself, on average? Ho self- "charity = 0 (A) Ha self charity >0 Ho self Mcharity=0 (B) Ha self charity 0 (E) Ha self = Mcharity <0
