You want to conduct a study on the proportion of Penn State students who miss class when it is raining. Suppose here is the data you collect for students who live on-campus versus students who live off-campus: Never Miss Sometimes Miss Always Miss On-Campus 20 12 13 Off-Campus 45 14 22 a. For on-campus students (only), estimate the true difference in proportions for those who never miss class versus those who always miss class, when it is raining. Place a bound on the error of estimation. b. Estimate the true difference between the proportions of on-campus students who always miss class versus the proportion of off-campus students who always miss class, when it is raining. Place a bound on the error of estimation.
Las Vegas has seen increased competition from Singapore and Macau for customers in the casino resort industry. One measurement of success is the average length of stay by visitors. The data in this file show the number of days a random sample of visitors stayed at each location. a. Using α = 0.05 to determine if there is a difference in the average length of stay by visitors for the three locations. Follow the steps as outlined in the exercises. b. If warranted, perform a multiple comparison test to determine which pairs are different using α = 0.05. c. Verify your results using Excel.
A political newspaper, Politically Sound, is interested in the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. Politically Sound has hired you to estimate the population mean of all such distances for voters in this county. To estimate this population mean, you select a random sample of 17 Rising Falls County voters and record the distance (in km) each voter lives from their nearest polling station. Assume the population is approximately normally distributed. Based on your sample, follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean of all the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample.
