In the efforts to reduce road accident in Tanzania, the traffic police have launched a new program, in which drivers who are found with traffic offence three times are given the option of whether to attend a special training program or to pay a fine 200,000 Tanzanian shillings. Suppose that 20% of all drivers in Dar es Salaam were found with traffic offences three times within the past year. Assume that 80% of those found with three traffic offences attended the training program so that they would not have to pay the fine. If a driver from Dar es Salaam is randomly selected, what is the probability that he or she found with three traffic offence and attend the training program?

7. The owner of a small clothing store is concerned that only 28% of people who enter her store actually buy something. A marketing salesman suggests that she invest in a new line of celebrity mannequins (think Adam Sandler modeling the latest jeans...). He loans her several different "people" to scatter around the store for a two-week trial period. The owner carefully counts how many shoppers enter the store and how many buy something so that at the end of the trial she can decide if she'll purchase the mannequins. (a) Write the owner's null and alternative hypotheses. (b) In this context describe a Type I error and the impact such an error would have on the store. (c) In this context describe a Type II error and the impact such an error would have on the store. (d) Based on data that she collected during the trial period the store's owner found that a 98% confidence interval for the proportion of all shoppers who might buy something was (27%, 35%). What conclusion should she reach…

3. Researchers Regine Dilla and associates wanted to determine whether consumption of cola is associated with lower bone mineral density. They looked at 1125 men and 1413 women in the Framingham Osteoporosis Study, which is a cohort that began in 1971. The first examination in this study began between 1971 and 1975, with participants returning for an examination every 4 years. Based on results of questionnaires, the researchers were able to determine cola consumption on a weekly basis. Analysis of the results indicated that women who consumed at least one cola per day (on average) had a bone mineral density that was significantly lower at the femoral neck than those who consumed less than one cola per day. The researchers did not find this relation in men. (a)Why is this a cohort study? (b)What is the response variable in this study? What is the explanatory variable? (c)Is the response variable qualitative or quantitative?
Certain shipments are guaranteed to contain no more than 15% defective units. The inspection consists in that if of a sample of size 10 the proportion of defective units is greater than 15%, the shipment will be returned. If in fact 15% of the shipment is defective, how likely is it to pass inspection %?
According to the IRS, individuals filing federal income tax returns prior to March 31 received an average refund of $1,078 in 2018 . Consider the population of "last-minute" filers who mail their tax return during the last five days of the income tax period (typically April 10 to April 15). b. For a sample 400 of individuals who filed a tax return between April 10 and 15 , the sample mean refund was $920. Based on prior experience a population standard deviation of a=1,800 may be assumed. What is the p -value (to 4 decimals)? c. Using , can you conclude that the population mean refund for "last minute" filers is less than the population mean refund for early filers? yes or no d. Repeat the preceding hypothesis test using the critical value approach. Using a=0.05 what is the critical value for the test statistic (to 3 decimals)? Enter negative value as negative number. State the rejection rule: Reject if is the critical value. choices: greater than or equal to, greater…
Chapter 5 In preparation for your discussion post, complete the following: • Research data on the U.S. uninsured population (https://aspe.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/private/pdf/265041/trends-in-the-us- uninsured.pdf B). • Choose one condition for your discussion post about an uninsured group. (For example, In 2019, 22% of Latine individuals under age 65 were uninsured, Figure 4 p.6). For your discussion board post include all of the following: 1. Suppose six individuals, within your criteria, are randomly selected. Show or explain your thinking for each problem. (Note: This is a binomial probability from Section 5.2, they either have insurance or they do not.) A. Let having insurance be a success. State the values of your p, q, and n for your chosen condition. Explain your thinking. (For my example, if 22% do not have insurance, then that is my q (failure) value, my p=0.78, q=0.22, n-6 (6 individuals are randomly selected in this problem). B. Use excel or a T184 to determine the…
13) In a clinical study of an allergy drug, 115 of the 260 subjects reported experiencing significant relief from their symptoms.

b) A certain pay television company wishes to estimate the proportion of its customers who would purchase a pay television program guide. To do this, the company manager decides to select a random sample of customers and note the number who would purchase a program guide. Suppose that experience in other areas suggests that about 13% of customers will purchase a program guide. How many customers should the company manager include in his sample if he wishes to estimate the true proportion who will purchase the program guide correct to within 5% (0.05) with a confidence level of 95%?
3. A sociologist studying freshmen at a major university carried out a survey, asking (among other questions) how often students went out per week, how many hours they studied per day, and how many hours they slept at night. Students will often overstate the number of hours studied, because they do not want to admit to not studying enough. This type of distortion is called: a. false answer. b. non-response bias. c. undercoverage bias. d. response bias.
In a certain college, 4% of the men and 1% of the women are taller than 6 feet. Furthermore, 60% of the students are women. Now if a student is selected at random and is taller than 6 feet, what is the probability that the student is a worman? 3/11 O7/11 3/18 O11/18
1) The rabies vaccine for dogs can save your dog's life. If your dog bites another animal or is on the receiving end of a bite, the vaccine can protect them from a dangerous and potentially fatal illness. Furthermore, in most places, the rabies vaccine for dogs is legally required. The NYC Department of Health wants to know if LESS than 95% of the dogs in the city have been vaccinated with their rabies vaccine. 158,045 of the 165,000 dogs examined had their rabies shots. Risk no more than 5% Type I error. What are the hypotheses? Null and Alternate
