Question 10 A catalog company administered a survey to determine how long customers were willing to wait on hold before ordering a product. The length of time was found to be a random variable best approximated by an exponential distribution with a mean equal to 3.5 minutes. What proportion of customers having to hold more than 5.0 minutes will hang up before placing an order? A) 0.2397 B) 0.5714 C) 0.4286 D) 0.7603

A reader wrote in to the “Ask Marilyn” column in Parade magazine to say that his grandfather told him that in three-quarters of all baseball games, the winning team scores more runs in one inning than the losing team scores in the entire game. (This phenomenon is known as a “big bang.”) Marilyn responded that this proportion seemed too high to be believable. Let p be the proportion of all major-league baseball games in which a “big bang” occurs. To investigate this claim, we randomly selected one week of the 2006 major-league baseball season, which turned out to be July 31-August 6, 2006. Then we examined the 95games played that week to determine which had a big bang and which did not. Of the95 games in our sample, 47 contained a big bang. Use a two-sided alternative, state the null and alternative hypothesis (in symbols and in words) for testing Marilyn’s claim. 7. Determine the test statistic and p-value. 8. What conclusion would you draw concerning Marilyn’s conjecture using the…
Researchers have been studying acorns produced by trees in a certain region. The acorns are used as a food source by various animals. The researchers have recorded the mass of a random sample of acorns (displayed below). Acorn mass (grams): 4.1, 4.22, 3.9, 3.79, 4.09, 4.1, 4.03, 4.02, 3.78, 3.74, 3.72 Checksum: 43.49 Resample the sample (bootstrap) (link to program) with 1000 iterations to create a 90% confidence interval for the mean mass of all acorns: Result: The researchers can be 90% confident that the mean mass of all acorns in this region is between and grams.
The 2006 Statistical Abstract of the United States reports on a survey that asked a national sample of 80,000 American households about pet ownership. Suppose (for now) that one-third of all American households own a pet cat. Still supposing that one-third of all American households own a pet cat, between what two values do you expect 95% of all sample proportions to fall?

A governmental agency computed the proportion of violent crimes in the United States in a particular year falling into each of four categories. A simple random sample of 500 violent crimes committed in California during that year were categorized in the same way. The following table presents the results. Category U.S.Proportion CaliforniaFrequency Murder 0.018 4 Forcible Rape 0.07 35 Robbery 0.390 218 Aggravated Assault 0.522 243 Can you conclude that the proportions of crimes in the various categories in California differ from those in the United States as a whole? Use the 0.05 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. (b) Find the P-value. Round the answer to at least four decimal places.
