Question 2: Two opposing provincial members of parliament are debating the merits of increasing funding for education. The member representing the opposition party claims that additional funding will reduce failure rate, while the goverming member maintains that this is not evident. The opposition member presents the following data to support her claim, taken from eight cities in the province. 5.2 9.8 6.1 Operating Budget (millions/year) Number of graduates (hundreds) 7.3 3.5 16.4 2.8 6.6 13 16 25 74 8.5 17 15 Perform a two-variable data analysis to determine if increased funding for education will reduce the failure rate. Note: Use excel or google sheets only to create graphs and calculations. The following should be included in your answer: • Scatter plot(s) including line of best fit and correlation coefficient. • Classification of the lincar correlation and type of causal relationship. • Extrancous variables that may affect either variable. Any possible bias? • Does your statistical analysis support either claim being made by the political party? • Conclusions based on your data analysis. Is there sufficient enough data and information presented to make conclusions?

Can you conclude that the proportions of people giving the various responses changed between 2015and 2016? Use the 0.01 level of significance.
An insurance company offers four different deductible levels—none, low, medium, and high—for its homeowner's policyholders and three different levels—low, medium, and high—for its automobile policyholders. The accompanying table gives proportions for the various categories of policyholders who have both types of insurance. For example, the proportion of individuals with both low homeowner's deductible and low auto deductible is 0.07 (7% of all such individuals). Homeowner's Auto N L M H L 0.04 0.07 0.05 0.01 M 0.07 0.11 0.20 0.10 H 0.02 0.03 0.15 0.15 Suppose an individual having both types of policies is randomly selected. (a) What is the probability that the individual has a medium auto deductible and a high homeowner's deductible?(b) What is the probability that the individual has a low auto deductible? A low homeowner's deductible? auto deductible homeowner's deductible (c) What is the probability that the individual is in the same…
6. Accidents on highways are one of the main causes of death or injury in developing countries and the weather conditions have an impact on the rates of death and injury. In foggy, rainy, and sunny conditions, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/21 of the accidents result in death, respectively. Sunny conditions occur 60% of the time, while rainy and foggy conditions each occur 20% of the time. Given that an accident without deaths occurred, what is the conditional probability that it was foggy at the time?

An analyst in the real estate business is interested in the relationship between the cost of the monthly rent of an apartment and the size of an apartment, in big cities. She gathers data for apartment buildings in 12 cities in 12 different states. In each city, she gets the numbers for at least 5 different buildings and at least 40 apartments in each building. She reaches the following conclusion: the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 1-bedroom apartment, and the rental cost of a 3-bedroom apartment is 50% more than the rental cost of a 2-bedroom apartment. Based on the paragraph, what is the minimum number of apartments she collected data on? Do you think her sample was large enough to be statistically valid? Based on the paragraph, are there any apartments or apartment buildings that she would have excluded from her study? Do you see any bias in how she selected apartments for her study? Based on the paragraph, is there a positive…

Round answers to the nearest percent and include the % sign in your answer. Note that this is the number of the people that have running water (both in rural an urban areas) divided by the total number of people in the country (107,400,000). BZW
3. Scenario It is believed that large doses of acetaminophen (the active ingredient in over the counter pain relievers like Tylenol) may cause damage to the liver in nearly half of those tested. A researcher wants to conduct a study to estimate if the proportion of acetaminophen users who have liver damage is the same as previously reported. For participating in this study, he will pay each subject $20 and provide a free medical consultation if the patient has liver damage. Part A If he wants to limit the margin of error of his 98% conﬁdence interval to 2%, what is the minimum number of subjects he needs? (answer should be in the form of x,xxx) the minimum amount of money he needs to set aside to pay his subjects? $ (answer should be in the form of $xx,xxx) Part B The amount you calculated in Part A is substantially over his budget so he decides to use fewer subjects. Will this change increase or decrease the width of his conﬁdence interval? Will this new confidence interval be…

Mopeds (small motorcycles with an engine capacity below 50 cm3) are very popular in Europe because of their mobility, ease of operation, and low cost. The article ''Procedure to Verify the .faximum Speed of Automatic Transmission Mopeds in Periodic Motor Vehicle Inspections"(J .of Automobile Engr.,2008: 1615-1623) described a rolling bench test for determining maximum vehicle speed. A normal distribution with mean value 46.8km/h and standard deviation 1.75 km/h is postulated. Consider randomly selecting a single such moped. a. What is the probability that maximum speed is at most 50 km/h? b.What is the probability that maximum speed is at least 48 km/h? c. What is the probability that max. imum speed differs from the mean value by at most 1.5 standard deviations?
