(3) A large corporation is facing a lawsuit alleging that they are engaging in age-discrimination. Specifically, they are accused of promoting younger people at greater rates (and pass- ing over older people for promotion). The following contingency table contains data for people in the company for a one-year timeframe. Under 30 30-39 40-49 50 and over Promoted 16 22 26 15 Not Promoted 38 39 45 38 a. Which variable is the explanatory variable and which is the response variable? b. What percent of Under 30 year olds were promoted? c. What percent of over 50 year olds were promoted? d. Make a conditional disribution by age group (this means to calculate the relative frequencies after separating the data based on the different age groups). e. When you compare the proportion who were promoted across the different age groups, does there appear to be a significant change in the promotion proportions in the different age groups? (let's say that "significant change means more than a 10% difference).

15. Commercial real estate prices and rental rates suffered substantial declines in 2008 and 2009 (Newsweek, July 27, 2009). These declines were particularly severe in AsiaB annual lease rates in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore declined by 40% or more. Even with such large declines, annual lease rates in Asia were still higher than those in many cities in Europe. Annual lease rates for a sample of 30 commercial properties in Hong Kong showed a mean of $1,114 per square meter with a standard deviation of $230.
A researcher wants to investigate whether single people who own pets are happier than singles without pets. A mood inventory is administered to a group of 20-29 years old non-pet owners and a similar age group of pet owners. The pet owners are also matched one one one with non-pet owners for income, number of close friends, and general health. The data are as follows: Non-pet owner pet owner 10 15 9 9 11 10 11 19 5 17 9 15 is there a significant difference in the mood scores for non-pet owners and pet owners?

A paper concluded that there was a correlation between refined sugar consumption (calories per person per day) and annual rate of major depression (cases per 100 people) based on data from six countries. The following data were read from a graph that appeared in the раper. Sugar Consumption Depression Rate Country Korea 160 2.4 United States 290 3.1 France 360 4.3 Germany 365 4.9 Canada 380 5.3 New Zealand 470 5.6 n USE SALT (a) Calculate the correlation coefficient for this data set. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) r = 0.9428 Interpret the correlation coefficient for this data set. O There is a weak, positive linear relationship between depression rate and sugar consumption. O There is no linear relationship between depression rate and sugar consumption. O There is a strong, negative linear relationship between depression rate and sugar consumption. O There is a weak, negative linear relationship between depression rate and sugar consumption.

For earthquakes with a magnitude 7.5 or greater on the Richter scale, the time between successive earthquakes has a mean of 456 days and a standard deviation of 356 days. Suppose that you observe a sample of four times between successive earthquakes that have a magnitude of 7.5 or greater on the Richter scale. a. On average, what would you expect to be the mean of the four times? b. How much variation would you expect from your answer in part (a)? (Hint: Use the three-standard-deviations rule.)
We discuss how to test for an association between two categorical variables in Section 6.8. A marine research team records the number of fish from 3 species that they find at different depth categories in the ocean. They are interested in assessing whether or not there is a relationship between the depth category (close to surface, mid-level, ocean floor) and the fish species found (species A, species B, species C). A two-way table showing the classification of a sample of 150 observations is given below. If the variables for the ocean depth category and the species are independent, how would you calculate the expected number of fish that are at the mid-level and from species C? Expected number =
3. Travelers who have no intention of showing up often fail to cancel their hotel reservations in a timely manner. These travelers are known, in the parlance of the hospitality trade, as "no-shows". To protect against no-shows and late cancellations, hotels invariably overbook rooms. A recent study examined the problems of over-booking rooms in the hotel industry. The following data, extracted from the study represent the daily numbers of late cancellations and no-shows for a random sample of 10 days at a hotel: 18, 16, 16, 16, 14, 18, 16, 18, 14, 19. c) Count the number of measurements that actually fall within the interval(-28, +2s) and express the interval count as a percentage of total number of measurements. at least 75% 100% 68% 95%
