In the city of AZ, there are two supermarkets, X-Mart and Y-Mart. It is assumed that every shopper makes a purchase once a week at one of these supermarkets (not both). In a study, 100 samples of shoppers were taken over 10 weeks. From the study, it is known that if a shopper goes to X-Mart in one week, 85 people will continue to shop at X-Mart in the following week, and if a shopper goes to Y-Mart in one week, 70 people will continue to shop at Y-Mart in the following week. Create a transition probability table and matrix for this scenario, and then If in the first week Ivankov buys from X-Mart, what is the probability that Terry will buy from X-Mart in the third and fourth weeks?

In Nigeria, with the monsoon, there was a drastic increase in cases of Malaria. Peniguillin is a medicine most used to treat cases of malaria. A secret report got leaked which showed the results of clinical trials of Peniquillin. Among the subjects treated with Peniguillin, 52 had nausea and 175 showed no symptoms of nausea. Among the other subjects were given placebos, 5 had nausea and 40 showed no symptoms of nausea. The lab sends its results to you to test for a difference between the rates of nausea for those treated with peniguillin and those given a placebo. The lab has few questions which you need to answer: 1) which hypothesis is the right OC? How about the conclusion, which box to choose? Choose :
To inspect manufacturing processes, companies typically examine samples of parts for deficiencies. One company that manufactures ballpoint pens selected samples of ,000 pens on each of 17 days. The company recorded, for each sample of 1,000, the number of defective pens in the sample. Here are their data. 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18 Send data to calculator Send data to Excel Frequency 8. 6+ 2+ 2 4 12 16 20 Number of defective pens (out of 1000) O Mean (a) For these data, which measures of OMedian central tendency take more than one value?

The Virginia Department of Health publishes COVID-19 vaccination data on their website. As of 10/5/2021, 60.6% of the population of Virginia is fully vaccinated. This rate varies drastically from county to county. Specifically, Fairfax County’s full vaccination rate is 74% and Lee County’s full vaccination rate is 40%. A researcher took a random sample of 14 individuals from Fairfax County and another random sample of 14 individuals from Lee County and asked them whether they could verify that they are fully vaccinated. Each sample was selected in a single day. 1. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the number of individuals from Fairfax County and Lee County in this sample who are fully vaccinated. Show your work using the binomial mean and binomial standard deviation formulas and provide your two means and two standard deviations in your document. Round your answers to two decimal places. (It is not necessary to use StatCrunch for this part.) 2. Calculate the probability…
In a survey, it was found that 67% of the population of a certain urban area lived in single-family dwellings and 33% in multiple housing. Five years later, of those who had been living in single-family dwellings, 81% still did so, but 19% had moved to multiple-family dwellings. Of those in multiple housing, 96% were still living in that type of housing, while 4% had moved to single-family housing. Assume that these trends continue. Answer parts (a) through (f). (a) Fill in the appropriate transition matrix for this information. single family multiple housing single multiple 1 (Type an integer or decimal for each matrix element.)
You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. A poll tracks the favorite sport of Americans who follow at least one sport. Results of the poll show that professional football is the favorite sport of 33% of Americans who follow at least one sport, followed by baseball at 15%, men's college football at 10%, auto racing at 6%, men's professional basketball at 5%, and ice hockey at 5%, with other sport at 26%. Consider a survey in which 344 college undergraduates who follow at least one sport were asked to identify their favorite sport produced the following results: Professional Football 113 Baseball 37 Men's College Football 48 Auto Racing 12 Men's Professional Basketball 8 Ice Hockey 19 Other Sports Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) p-value = 107 Do college undergraduate students differ from the general public with regard to their favorite sports? Use a = 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses. O Ho: Undergraduate students…
An apartment management company wants to explore the consequences of allowing residents to have multiple dogs. They would like to find out whether the number of dogs predicts resident ratings. They would also like to control for the year the apartment complex was built because that might also affect the resident rating. They have collected data on several of their existing complexes. For each complex, they have counted the number of dogs currently living in the complex, the year the complex was built, and the average rating for that particular complex. They would like to perform a multiple regression on these variables to predict resident ratings. See data below. These data are the same as the previous question. Positive and Negative Dog Ratings Number of dogs Year of facility Rating (out of 5) 54 1975 2 31 1964 3.5 0 2015 4.8 11 2011 3.8 73 1964 2.3 23 2016 3.7 0 2015 4.7 49 1989 2.7 What can we conclude about this multiple regression analysis?

In 1940, 2,000 women working in a factory were recruited into a study. Half of the women worked in manufacturing and half in administrative offices. The incidence of bone cancer through 1970 among the 1,000 women working in manufacturing was compared with that of 1,000 women working in administrative offices. Thirty of the women in manufacturing developed bone cancer as compared to 9 of the women in administrative offices. Identify what type of study this is.
A gym wishes to evaluate the effectiveness of its programs. When a new member joins the gym, they meet with a trainer who designs a recommended routine based on the member’s current fitness and their goals. The recommended routines can be classified into high, medium, or low effort. Historically, 68% of the new members get a high effort routine, 21% get a medium effort routine, and the rest get a low effort routine. After the first six months as members, the gym surveys the members’ adherence to the recommended routine. The gym classifies a member’s performance as optimal if they follow the recommended routine for the six months, or as inferior otherwise. According to the historical results of the survey, 84% of the members with a low effort routine, 22% of the members with a medium effort routine, and 69% of the members with a high effort routine report optimal performance. After the first six months of joining the gym, a member can obtain different results: they can either…

Is there a link between dark chocolate and weight loss when compared to milk chocolate? A nutritionist gathers 60 people, selected at random, then randomly assigns half of the group to eat a single dark chocolate bar after dinner each night and the other half to eat a single milk chocolate bar after dinner each night for 6 months. Everyone is to keep track of the other food they eat in an app provided. The nutritionist then compares each person’s weight after the 6 months to their weight before eating the different chocolates accounting for the other calories consumed. 12) What type of study does this describe? a) Survey b) Observational study c) Experimental study

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. Half of the children watched a cartoon while the other half watched a show that was not a cartoon. The children were then placed in a small group and the researcher measured the level of agressiveness of each child.
