Q#2 Space Shuttles: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) compiles data on Space-Shuttle launches and publishes them on its Wed site. The following table displays a frequency distribution for the number of crew members on each shuttle mission April 1981 to July 2000. Crew Size Frequency 3 1 4 6 4 2 36 18 33 2 Let X denote the crew size of randomly selected shuttle mission between April 1981 and July 2000. a) What are the possible values of the random variable X ? b) Use random-variable notation to represent the event that the shuttle mission obtained has a cerew size of 7. c) Find P(X=4); interpret interms of percentages. d) Obtain the probability distribution of X. e) Construct a probability histogram for X.

The table below gives the two-way classification of 400 randomly selected persons based on their status as a smoker or a nonsmoker and on the number of visits they made to their physicians last year. Suppose you must test the hypothesis at 5% level of significance whether there is a relationship between smoking and visits to the physician. Status Visits to the Physician 0-1 2-4 >3D5 Smoker 25 60 75 Nonsmoker 110 90 40 The expected frequencies will be O a) 54, 44,81. 90 and 70 O b) 54, 60. 81. 90 and 69 Oc) 112, 100.90,81 and 69 Odi69.82. 55. 90 and 112
Are birthdays "evenly distributed" throughout the year, or are they more common during some parts of the year than others? Owners of a children's toy store chain asked this question. Some data collected by the chain are summarized in the table below. The data were obtained from a random sample of 180 people. The birthdate of each person was recorded, and each of these dates was placed into one of four categories: winter (December 21-March 20), spring (March 21-June 20), summer (June 21-September 20), and fall (September 21-December 20). The numbers in the first row of the table are the frequencies observed in the sample for these season categories. The numbers in the second row are the expected frequencies under the assumption that birthdays are equally likely during each season of the year. The bottom row of numbers gives the following value for each of the season categories. (Each expert I have asked has gotten the critical value wrong so I added a picture of the correct formula to…
The following table shows the ethnic origins of two random samples of students from a Canadian university, one from 2012 and the other from 2022: European 2012 2022 African Asian 308 58 52 364 100 58 Note: Canadian born students are classified according to their ancestry. (a) What would be an appropriate test to check if there has been an overall change in the distribution of ethnic origins among the student population of that university between 2012 and 2022? Justify your answer. ] Other 22 38 (b) Based on your answer in (a) above, test whether there has been an overall change in the distribution of ethnic origins among the student population of that university between 2012 and 2022. Use a 5% significance level and show your detailed manual calculations and all the steps of your hypothesis test (hypotheses, significance level, expected cell frequencies (rounded to 1 decimal), test statistic, decision criteria, critical value and p-value, conclusion with justification).

Twelve HSS students have been randomly assigned to one of three different statistics classes: one is taught by Professor Lavigne, another is taught by a monkey, and the last group has no professor and requires that students learn on their own. Here are the data: Final grade in class: Prof Lavigne: 67,74,82,55 Monkey: 43,66,52,10 No professor: 97,87,86,78 We now want to figure out if the average final grade in each class is different from one another. What kind of analysis does this require? One-way ANOVA A series of two-sample t-tests A series of one-sample t-tests None of the above What degrees of freedom are needed to answer the following question: Are average final grades statistically different in each group? 10 11 2 and 9 3 and 12 No degrees of freedom can be used
Exhibit 12-15 The table below gives social media preferences for random samples of men and women. Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Total 630 310 290 1230 750 430 240 1420 1380 740 530 2650 We are asked to test for independence between gender (i.e., men and women) and social media preferences. Men Women Total Refer to Exhibit 12-15. If gender and social media preference is independent then the expected number of women who prefer LinkedIn would be O O 640 246 740 284
6% of all statistics classes require a statistical calculator and 25% require the use of a computer that has statistical software. Of the classes that require a statistical calculator, 13% also require the use of a computer. If a statistics course is selected at random find: (round to 4 decimal places where possible) a. P(Statistical Calculator) = Correct b. P(Statistical Software) = Correct c. P(Require a Statistical Calculator and Statistical Software) = Incorrect d. P(Require a Statistical Calculator GIVEN Require Statistical Software) =
Last school year, the student body of a local university consisted of 20% freshmen, 21% sophomores, 29% juniors, and 30% seniors. A random sample of 300 students taken from this year's student body showed the following number of students in each class. Freshmen 84 Sophomores 65 Juniors 86 Seniors 65 We are interested in determining whether there has been a significant change in the distribution of class between the last school year and this school year.If the distribution is the same as the previous year, the expected number of freshmen is _____. a. 84 b. 87 c. 60 d. 20
