Jim has been stopped for speeding three times in the last year, but each time was given a warning instead of a ticket. What does it mean to say that "the law of averages will catch up with him"? a. It means that average drivers receive tickets, not warnings, when stopped for speeding. b. It means that Jim is "due" to receive a ticket next time he is stopped for speeding. c. It means that, in the long run, Jim should not expect to be stopped for minor speeding violations. d. None of the above is a correct interpretation.

A poll uses responses everal questions to calculate a "Happiness" index that measures overall happiness. An article included the happiness index for the 7 years between 2008 and 2016. Also included in the article were the percentages of people who responded "somewhat agree" or "strongly agree" to the following statements. Statement 1 (happy with life) 1: At this time, I'm generally happy with my life. Statement Year 2008 2009 2010 2011 2013 2015 2016 2 (won't benefit): I won't get much benefit from the things that I do anytime soon.

Another measure of central tendency that is rarely used but is easy to calculate is the midrange. It can be found using the formula below. A consumer testing service obtained the mileages (in miles per gallon) shown in the table to the right in five test runs performed with three types of compact cars. Each car manufacturer wants to advertize that its car performed the best in this test. Which of the car manufacturers of cars A, B, and C would prefer to use the midrange statistic in their ads? Explain your reasoning. Midrange= (Maximum data entry) + (Minimum data entry) 2 A 28 33 The manufacturer of (Type an integer or a decimal.) 28 29 35 Car MPG B 32 30 32 25 32 ... C 30 33 24 33 31 would prefer to use the midrange, since their car's midrange of mpg is the of the three models.
Express the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. An automobile technician claims that the mean amount of time (in hours) per domestic car repair is more than that of foreign cars. Assume that two samples are independent. Let the domestic car repair times be the first population and the foreign car repair times be the second population. O A. H H1 = H2 O B. H 1 42. O C.
