Identify whether the studies described here are based on (1) single samples, (2) paired samples, or (3) independent samples. Cardiovascular disease risk factors are compared in husbands and wives. A nutritional exam is applied to a random sample of individuals. Results are compared to the results of the whole nation. An investigator compares vaccination histories in 30 autistic schoolchildren to a simple random sample of non-autistic children from the same school district.
Justice in the Courts? In an issue of Parade Magazine, the editors reported on a national survey on law and order. One question asked of the 2512 U.S. adults who took part was whether they believed that juries “almost always” convict the guilty and free the innocent. Only 578 said that they did. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that less than one in four Americans believe that juries “almost always” convict the guilty and free the innocent?
Crime incidents by quarantine violators. On June 10, 2020, CNN Philippines reported that the Philippine National Police (PNP) said that incidents of crime had decreased sharply during the country’s community quarantine, which lasted for 84 days. Concurrently, the Joint Task Force COVID Shield reported that a total of 193,779 quarantine violators had been warned, fined, or arrested. About 65.05% of them were from Luzon. Consider a random sample of 500 quarantine violators. a. Compute m and s for the random variable x, the num- ber of quarantine violators who are from Luzon. b. From the sample of 500 quarantine violators, is it likely that less than half are not from Luzon? Explain.
A fitness and wellness question in 2018 was asked from women over the age of 50 on how much water they consume per day. The question asked may lead to -response bias -unintentional bias -under coverage -delibate bias
Example: Assume that adults were randomly selected for a poll. They were asked if they "favor or oppose using federal tax dollars to fund medical research using stem cells obtained from human embryos.” Of those polled, 480 were in favor and 394 were opposed. A politician claims that people don’t really understand the stem cell issue and their responses to such questions are random responses equivalent to a coin toss. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of subjects who respond in favor is equal to 0.5. What does the result suggest about the politician’s claim? Following the hypothesis test steps, let’s first identify the claim and the null and alternative hypotheses: For this example, the original claim is that the proportion of the subjects who responded in favor is equal to 0.5 (half – since the politician compared their responses as equivalent to a coin toss). The symbolic form of the politician’s claim can be expressed as p = 0.5. Also notice…
When three groups were compared using the one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), the result turned out to be significant, that is, the null hypothesis was rejected. What will be the appropriate interpretation of this result?A. All three groups significantly differ in means.B. Exactly two of the three groups significantly differ.C. At least two of the three groups significantly differ in means.D. All three groups have the same effect on the dependent variable.
Many people believe that criminals who plead guilty tend to get lighter sentences than those who are convicted in trials. The accompanying table summarizes randomly selected sample data for defendants in burglary cases. All of the subjects had prior prison sentences. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sentence (sent to prison or not sent to prison) is independent of the plea. If you were an attorney defending a guilty defendant, would these results suggest that you should encourage a guilty plea? Guilty Plea Not Guilty Plea Sent to Prison 418 48 Not Sent to Prison 558 43

A Bloomberg Businessweek subscriber study asked, "In the past 12 months, when traveling for business, what type of airline ticket did you purchase most often?" A second question asked if the type of flight was domestic or international travel. Sample data obtained are shown in the following table. Type of Flight Type of Ticket Domestic International First Class 26 21 Business Class 99 123 Economy Class 515 137 a. Using a 0.05 level of significance, is the type of ticket purchased independent of the type of flight? Ho: Type of ticket purchased is independent of the type of flight H.: Type of ticket purchased is not independent of the type of flight v Compute the value of the x test statistic (to 2 decimals). Use Table 3 of Appendix B to find the p-value. The p-value is - Select your answer - What is your conclusion? Conclude that the type of ticket purchased Select your answer - v the type of flight. b. Discuss any dependence that exists between the type of ticket and type of flight. I.…
A movie streaming company only holds on to a movie in its offerings if the movie has earned a 4.5 rating or above. Currently, there are seven movies being evaluated and the ratings for three of these seven are in the sample. We are interested in determining which ones will be kept in the company’s selection and which ones will be removed from the selection (testing at a 5% level of significance).

A sports reporter suggests that professional baseball players must be, on average, older than professional football players, since football is a contact sport and players are more susceptible to concussions and serious injuries. Players were selected at random from both professional baseball (MLB) and professional football (NFL). The data are summarized below. | MLB | NFL Sample size | Sample mean | 27.7 | 25.5 47 | 43 Sample SD | 2.8 | 3.3 Consider the hypothesis testing problem Ho : µi µ2 Hi s HZ against На: where u1 is the mean age of the players in professional baseball (MLB), and u2 is the mean age of the players in professional football (NFL). Calculate the test statistic in a two-sample t-test assuming equal variances.
