A statistics instructor would like to know whether it is worthwhile to require students to do weekly homework assignments. For Section1 of the course, homework is assigned, collected and graded each week. In Section2, students are not required to turn in homework. At the end of the semester, the students are given the same final exam. In Section1, the numbers of students getting each grade are: 16 students got A, 22 students got B, 8 students got C, and 4 students got D. In Section2, the numbers of students getting each grade are: 8 students got A, 18 students got B, 18 students got C, and 6 students got D. Is there an association between assigning homework and exam grade? Test at the alpha = 0.05 level. a. We reject the null hypothesis with two-tailed critical values; there is an association between assigning homework and exam grade. b. We reject the null hypothesis with one-tailed critical value; there is an association between assigning homework and exam…
Officials believe that the probability of a major accident at a nuclear plant is so small that we should not expect a failure for hundreds of years. However, three such failures occurred within about 25 years— Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island. How could the estimates be wrong?
A cane of length P is to be broken into two parts. What is the probability that one part will have a length of more than double the other? State clearly what assumptions would you have made. Discuss whether you believe these assumptions are realistic and how you might improve them if they are not.
In February 2021, the Chicago Tribune reported:“The overdose epidemic that has ravaged Chicago has not spared the nearby suburbs, some of which have death rates comparable to anything seen in the city, according to a report released this week by the Cook County Department of Public Health. ZIP codes in the towns of Worth, Broadview, Maywood, and Forest Park, areas that “have substantially lower median household incomes and higher poverty rates,” have been especially hard-hit, the report said.”In the article, they claimed that lower incomes were associated with higher overdose death rates and that overdose death rates are increasing over time. The data you have been analyzing wasn’t focused on Chicago, obviously. But do your results support the general gist of the statistical argument being made in this Tribune excerpt? Please address:• Do overdose death rates appear to be associated with per capita income (use scatterplot)?• Do overdose death rates appear to be increasing over time…
A campus researcher wanted to investigate the factors that affect visitor travel time in a complex, multilevel building on campus. Specifically, he wanted to determine whether different building signs (building maps versus wall signage) affect the total amount of time visitors require to reach their destination and whether that time depends on whether the starting location is inside or outside the building. Three subjects were assigned to each of the combinations of signs and starting locations, and travel time in seconds from beginning to destination was recorded. How should the data be analyzed? Wall Signs Map Starting Room Interior 141, 119, 238 85, 94, 126 Randomized block design O Completely randomized design 2 x 2 factorial design Levene's test Exterior 224, 339, 139 226, 129, 130

As a destination marketing director, you found that TV executives used the guideline that 25% of the viewers were watching Fox cable network, 22% watching NBC and CBS, and 19% watching ABC. The remaining 12% were watching other cable networks such as CNN and MSNBC on a weekday night. A random sample of 500 viewers in the D.C. metro area last Tuesday night showed 109 homes were tuned in to the Fox station, 125 homes tuning in to NBC affiliate, 100 homes tuning in to CBS affiliate and 81 homes tuning in to ABC affiliate. 85 homes were watching CNN and NSNBC cable stations. At the 0.05 significant level, can we conclude that the guideline is still reasonable?
The Business School at State University currently has three parking lots, each containing 155 spaces. Two hundred faculty members have been assigned to each lot. On a peak day, an average of 70% of all lot 1 parking sticker holders show up, an average of 72% of all lot 2 parking sticker holders show up, and an average of 74% of all lot 3 parking sticker holders show up. a. Given the current situation, estimate the probability that on a peak day, at least one faculty member with a sticker will be unable to find a spot. Assume that the number who show up at each lot is independent of the number who show up at the other two lots. Compare two situations: (1) each person can park only in the lot assigned to him or her, and (2) each person can park in any of the lots (pooling). (Hint: Use the RISKBINOMIAL function.) If needed, round your answer to a whole percentage and if your answer is zero, enter "0". No pooling: Pooling: 51.4 % 83.8 % b. Now suppose the numbers of people who show up at…
Part 1: The state of Maryland's arrest rate for marijuana possession in 2010 was the fourth highest in the nation. Public records for that year show that police arrested one out of every 250 Maryland residents for possession of marijuana. In addition, while Black people only comprised 30% of the State's population in 2010, 58% of those arrested for marijuana possession were Black. Use the following labels for events describing Maryland residents in the year 2010. M-AMP: Maryland resident was arrested for marijuana possession M-B: Maryland resident was a Black person a) What is the probability that a Maryland resident was arrested for marijuana possession in 2010? b) Use probability notation to express the cited percent values. 30% = P( 58% = P( c) Which of the values cited should be compared to determine whether race and arrests for marijuana possession in the state of Maryland in 2010 are independent?
8) In the US, 4.5% of the population identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (see, for instance, this report). In the UK, the LGBT community accounts for 1.5% of the population. Which of the following can be inferred from the given information? a) The number of LGBT individuals in the US is greater than that in the UK. b) The proportion of LGBT individuals in the US is 3% greater than the proportion of LGBT individuals in the UK. c) The proportion of LGBT individuals in the UK is 3% less than that in the US. d) The proportion of LGBT individuals in the UK is 200% greater than that in the US. e) The proportion of LGBT individuals in the US is 200% greater than that in the UK.
