n a study of 48 cases of a certain diseases, it was noted that 17 cases developed complications, a frequency of 35%. a. Within the limits, would you expect the true frequency of complications in such cases to be contained? b. Suppose that you observed 170 complications in 480 cases, within what limit would you expect the true frequency of complication in such cases to be contained? c. How do you explain the difference between a and b?

A researcher belleves that 52% of people who grew up as the only child have an IQ score over 100. However, unknown to the researcher, this figure is actually 50%, which is the same as in the general population. To attempt to find evidence for the claim, the researcher is going to take a random sample of 400 people who grew up as the only child. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample with an IQ score above 100. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p. (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P(p 20.52), which is the probability that there will be 52% or more people with IQ Scores over 100 in the sample. Round your answer to four decimal places. 2022 acer
There has been a long-held belief that births occur more frequently in the "small hours of the morning" than at any other time of day. Sutton [1945] collected the time of birth at the King George V Memorial Hospital, Sydney, for 2654 consecutive births. (Note: The total number of observations listed is 2650, not 2654 as stated by Sutton.) The frequency of births by hour in a 24-hour day is listed in Table 3.16. (a) Sutton states that the data "confirmed the belief ... that more births occur in the small hours of the morning than at any other time in the 24 hours." Develop a graphical display that illustrates this point. (b) Is there evidence of Sutton's statement: "An interesting point emerging was the relatively small number of births during the meal hours of the staff; this sug- gested either hastening or holding back of the second stage during meal hours"?

The NIH is creating a test for the Zika virus. The incidence of a Zika is low, 11 percent in the general population. There is a trial version, but it sometimes misses the disease. The probability of a false negative is 0.03. Similarly, someone who does not have Zika, will sometimes get a positive reading. The probability of this is 0.1. Fill in the tree diagram and... Answer as a decimal to 4 decimal places.

Examine the data and identify anything appearing to be unique. Select all that apply. A. The data are presented as quantitative but are actually categorical. B. The unusually large value of 80 minutes appears to be an error in recording the data. C. Most of the data values are rounded to the nearest 5 or 10 minutes, and may be estimates of actual commute times. D. Based on the gaps in the distribution, the data appear to be from two different populations.

1. A dog groomer is often asked if small dogs bark more than larger dogs. To test this, he logs the number of separate barking episodes per day for three size dogs: small, medium, and large. In a separate file you will find the number of barking episodes for 12 dogs. On average, small dogs barked the most Mean: 7.25 On average, medium sized dogs barked the least Mean: 2.75 A. Do the different size dogs bark a significantly different number of times? Test with an α = 0.05. B. If appropriate, use Tukey’s HSD post hoc test and report where the differences are. If inappropriate, state why. C. Calculate and interpret the effect size.
