low cost. Based on past drug testing, the FAA reports that drug use is estimated at 0.017 among pilots. The urine test will correctly identify 0.96 of pilots using drugs. The test will also correctly identify 0.88 of individuals who do not use drugs. Assuming I was a pilot and tested positive, what is the probability that I am a drug user, given the positive test?

The Consumer Reports Restaurant Customer Satisfaction Survey is based upon 148,599 visits to full-service restaurant chains.† One of the variables in the study is meal price, the average amount paid per person for dinner and drinks, minus the tip. Suppose a reporter for a local newspaper thought that it would be of interest to her readers to conduct a similar study for restaurants located in her city. The reporter selected a sample of 8 seafood restaurants, 8 Italian restaurants, and 8 steakhouses. The following data show the meal prices ($) obtained for the 24 restaurants sampled.

Random samples of students at 107 four-year colleges were interviewed several times since 1998. Of the students who reported drinking alcohol, the percentage who reported bingeing at least three times within the past two weeks was 41.1% of 336 students in 1998 and 21.6% of 843 students in 2004. a. Estimate the difference between the proportions in 2004 and 1998, and interpret. b. Find the standard error for this difference. Interpret it. c. Define the two relevant population parameters to compare in the context of this exercise. d. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval to estimate the true difference. e.

During the first 13 weeks of the television season, the Saturday evening 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. audience proportions were recorded as ABC 31%, CBS 26%, NBC 27%, and independents 16%. A sample of 300 homes two weeks after a Saturday night schedule revision yielded the following viewing audience data: ABC 97 homes, CBS 68 homes, NBC 91 homes, and independents 44 homes.

A group of 100 people, who lived at varying distances (in kilometers) from an island nuclear power station, were asked if they thought a full evacuation of the area was required, when it went critical. The researches wanted to know if the opinion to evacuate or not depended on how far from the reactor people lived. Partial results of the questionnaire are shown in the table below. 0-3 km distance 3 -6 km distance 6 -9 km distance 9- 12 km distance Totals Evacuation needed X X X 51 Evacuation not X X XX needed Totals 28 28 23 XX XX You are doing a Chi Square test for independence. What is the expected value of the number of people living within a radius of 0-3 km who would say that evacuation was needed? XX denotes row/column totals. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
