It is said in one study that more than 70% of PLM Engineering students own a personal laptop. To verify this statement, students in EDA 212-3 conducted a survey and asked random engineering students if they own a personal laptop. 73% of the 550 surveyed students confirmed that they do owned a personal laptop. Using a 95% level of confidence, What can the students of EDA 212-3 conclude about the study?

Some people claim they can tell the difference between diet soda and regular soda in a single sip. A researcher, wanting to test these claims, randomly sampled 80 such people, then filled 40 plain white cups with diet soda and 40 with regular. Each person was randomly assigned a cup to drink and asked to identify whether it was diet or regular. 53 people correctly identified the soda type. Does this data suggest that people are better or worse at identifying the sode type as compared to random guessing?
Previous question was INCORRECT. Please read this carefully :) Measuring the Effect of Story SpoilersA story spoiler gives away the ending early. Does having a story spoiled in this way diminish suspense and hurt enjoyment? A study1 investigated this question. For twelve different short stories, the study’s authors created a second version in which a spoiler paragraph at the beginning discussed the story and revealed the outcome. Each version of the twelve stories was read by at least 30 people and rated on a 1 to 10 scale to create an overall rating for the story, with higher ratings indicating greater enjoyment of the story. The ratings are given in Table 1 and stored in StorySpoilers. Stories 1 to 4 were ironic twist stories, stories 5 to 8 were mysteries, and stories 9 to 12 were literary stories. Here we measure the size of the effect on mean rating. Story 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 With spoiler 4.7 5.1 7.9 7.0 7.1 7.2 7.1 7.2 4.8 5.2 4.6 6.7 Original 3.8 4.9 7.4 7.1 6.2…
Following an oil spill, a particular region of the ocean is being tested for the level of a chemical called naphthalene. It is considered fact that fish from the region will be safe to eat if, and only if, the mean naphthalene level in the region is less than 3.3 parts per billion. A set of water specimens will be randomly selected from the region and tested, and if the results provide convinving evidence that the mean naphthalene level is less than 3.3, then the sale of fish from the region will be made legal. Which of the following describes a Type I error and its consequences? A) the authorities fail to obtain convincing evidence that the mean naphthalene level is less than 3.3, and do not legalize the sale of fish from the region when in fact the fish are SAFE for consumption. B) The definition of a Type I error depends on the actual results of the study in question C) The authorities fail to obtain convincing evidence that the mean naphthalene level is less than 3.3, and do not…
A barangay chairman claims at least 85% of the residents in his barangay have household pets. To test his claim, a researcher randomly selected a sample of 550 residents and find that 495 of them do have household pets. At 0.05 level of significance what can you conclude?
The dataset "nurses" is a random sample of 1,000 cases from “Health Care Provider Credential Data” from Washington State Open Data Portal. In the sample, there are 418 CNA's and 278 of the CNA's have expired credentials. Use the statistics from the nurses dataset to answer the following question: "With 90% confidence, what percent of all CNA's on Washington State's healthcare provider list are expired?"
A researcher is studying the effects of his newly created lens on vision. He samples 9 people with poor vision and measures their visual distance (in feet) with the lens and then without the lens. Did people’s vision with the lens differ from their vision without? Participant # With Lens Without Lens 1 8 14 2 6 17 3 9 12 4 7 11 5 5 12 6 9 18 7 8 13 8 9 7 9 7 13 What kind of analysis will you use? Why? State the null and alternative hypothesis. Check your assumptions. Explain why each of them are or are not met. Sketch a distribution and shade the rejection region(s), including the corresponding critical value(s). Using R, calculate your test statistic and interpret the results of your test. (Don’t forget your 95% confidence interval and screenshots of your work!) What do you conclude about the null hypothesis? Are there significant differences?
An instructor gives two students portions of the same ore sample to examine by gravimetric analysis. Student number 1 gets the following results for the iron content for this sample: 35.1, 33.8, and 34.5 mg/g. Student number 2 obtains values of 32.4, 33.1, and 32.7 mg/g. Are the mean results obtained by these two students the same at the 95% confidence interval? 3)
Twelve inmates in a particular prison took part in an anger management class. Before it began, the median score on an anger control assessment of the group was 42 (out of a maximum of 60). After the six month class, the participants scores on the same assessment were 35, 41, 40, 44, 57, 36, 39, 47, 58, 39, 42, 39. 1.
