Problem #2: Many types of error will cause a computer program to terminate or give incorrect results. One type of error is punctuation. For instance, if a comma is inserted in the wrong place, the program might not run. A study of programs written by students in an introductory programming course showed that 75 out of 300 errors selected at random were punctuation errors. (a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of errors made by beginning programming students that are punctuation errors. Show work.

ANOVA. Dr. Milgram is conducting a patient satisfaction survey, rating how well her patients like her on a scale of 1-10. Her patients tend to fall into three categories: “Like a lot”, “like somewhat”, and “dislike a lot”. She believes that she might get different satisfaction scores from people in each group, but (because she's not great at numbers) she wants you to do an ANOVA to be sure. She has collected data from 12 patients (three equal groups) with the following results. Group 1) “Like a lot” Mean: 8 SS: 2 N: df: Group 2) “Like somewhat” Mean: 5 SS: 6 N: df: Group 3) “Dislike a lot” Mean: 2 SS: 4 N: df: Grand Mean: df Within-Group:__________ df Between-Groups:___________ Estimated Variance (S21) for Group 1: _______ Estimated Variance (S22) for Group 2: ___________…
Students in a university's physics lab courses are expected to report types and explanations for error in their lab reports. There are generally two types of errors that students report: random, those caused by unknown or unpredictable error in the experiment, and systematic, those that come from errors in the measuring instruments. Students sometimes mistakenly include errors in reading an instrument or errors in calculation as systematic errors. Physics professors suspect that less experienced students may report systematic lab errors differently than more experienced students do, so they sampled lab reports of n1 = 120 first-year physics students and n2 = 76 second- and third-year (combined) physics students to compare the ratios of reported systematic errors in their lab reports with the following results. 71 first-year students reported systematic lab errors in their reports. 47 second- and third-year students reported systematic lab errors in their reports.

Example 8.11 For a class project, a political science student at a large university wants to estimate the percent of students who are registered voters. He surveys 500 students and finds that 300 are registered voters. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the true percent of students who are registered voters, and interpret the confidence interval.
A poll reports that 47% of Canadians download movies on their computers.The poll has a margin of error of 4.8%, 19 times out of 20.Choose the statement that best explains what this means. Question 6 options: If you had taken another poll, there is a 95% chance that somewhere between 51.8% and 42.2% of people polled would download movies. If you had taken another poll, there is a 90% chance that somewhere between 51.8% and 42.2% of people polled would download movies. If you had taken another poll, there is a 19% chance that somewhere between 49.4% and 44.6% of people polled would download movies. If you had taken another poll, there is a 95% chance that somewhere between 49.4% and 44.6% of people polled would download movies.
Section 11.2 Question #4 The table below includes results from polygraph (lie detector) experiments conducted by researchers. In each case, it was known if the subjected lied or did not lie, so the table indicates when the polygraph test was correct. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that whether a subject lies is independent of the polygraph test indication. Do the results suggest that polygraphs are effective in distinguishing between truth and lies? View the table Did the Subject Actually Lie? No (Did Not Lie) Yes (Lied) Polygraph test indicated that the subject lied. 9 48 Polygraph test indicated that the subject did not lie. 30 12 Determine the test statistic. χ2= _________ (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Determine the P-value of the test statistic. P-value= ___________ (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
The dean of students at a large college is interested in learning about their opinions regarding the percentage of first-year students who should be given parking privileges in the main lot. He sends out an email survey to all students about this issue. A large number of first-year students reply but very few sophomores, juniors, and seniors reply. Based on the responses he receives, he constructs a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of students who believe first-year students should be given parking privileges in the main lot to be (0.71, 0.79). Which of the following may have an impact on the confidence interval, but is not accounted for by the margin of error? response bias O nonresponse bias O sampling variation O undercoverage bias
Craik & Tulving ran an experiment to determine how depth of processing during study affects memory. In the study phase, 12 participants made judgments about words. In one block of trials (the visual condition) they indicated whether the words were written in upper case or lower case; in another block of trials (the auditory condition) they indicated whether the words contained an "ee" sound; in another block of trials (the meaning condition) they indicated whether the meaning of the words was pleasant or unpleasant. There were 12 words in each block. After completing the study phase, participants were asked to write down all the words they could remember. Here are the data: Mean Visual 3.5 Auditory 4.5 Meaning 6.0 Standard Deviation 1.5 1.6 1.9 Compared to the within-subjects design, the between-subjects design (select all that apply) Oa. Would have less statistical power O b. Would be less prone to experimenter bias O c. Would be less prone to order effects Od. Would have better…
