Q41. A study of the posttreatment behavior of a large number of drug abusers suggests that the likelihood of conviction within a two-year period after treatment may depend upon the offenders education. The proportions of the total number of cases falling in four education-conviction categories are shown in the following table: Status within 2 Years after Treatment Education Convicted Not Convicted Total .10 30 40 10 years or more 9 years or less Total .27 .33 .60 37 .63 1.00 Suppose that a single offender is selected from the treatment program. Define the events: A: The offender has 10 or more years of education. B: The offender is convicted within two years after completion of treatment. Find the following: а. Р(А). b. Р(В). c. P(A N B).

The price of a share of stock divided by the company's estimated future earnings per share is called the P/E ratio. High P/E ratios usually indicate "growth" stocks, or maybe stocks that are simply overpriced. Low P/E ratios indicate "value" stocks or bargain stocks. A random sample of 51 of the largest companies in the United States gave the following P/E ratiost. 9 20 11 35 19 13 15 21 29 53 16 26 21 14 21 27 10 12 47 14 40 18 60 72 33 14 8 49 5 16 8 19 12 31 67 51 26 18 17 20 19 13 25 23 27 44 20 27 19 18 32 (a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to find the sample mean x and sample standard deviation s.

13. Dave likes to grow cucumbers, and each year he experiments with ways to improve his crop. This summer, he wants to determine whether the new fertilizer he has seen advertised will increase the mean number of cucumbers produced per plant. He uses the old fertilizer on 15 cucumber plants and the new fertilizer on the other 13 plants. Over the course of the growing season, he calculates a mean of 17.4 cucumbers per plant for the old fertilizer, with a standard deviation of 2.0 cucumbers. He calculates a mean of 21.6 cucumbers per plant for the new fertilizer, with a standard deviation of 2.7 cucumbers. You may assume that both samples came from populations that are approximately normal. Assume that the population variances are not equal. a. Determine the best point estimate for the true mean difference in cucumber production. Correct notation counts. b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference in cucumber production. For credit, your work must include a…
