Question 5 A The campus bookstore at a local university is interested in finding out whether the textbook preference and the class level (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) of the student are associated. A random sample of 100 students is obtained, and each student in the sample is asked which textbook he or she prefers: new books, used books, or digital books. The students are also asked whether their class level is freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior. Which of the following is the appropriate test for the investigation? A) A one-sample t-test for a population mean B A two-sample t-test for a difference between means c) A chi-square goodness-of-fit test D A chi-square test of homogeneity E) A chi-square test of independence

American businesses provide?" The distribution of responses to this question was as follows: Excellent 8% Pretty good 47% Only fair 34% Poor 11% Suppose a store manager wants to find out whether the results of this consumer survey apply to customers of supermarkets in his city. To do so, he interviews 207 randomly selected customers as they leave the supermarkets in various parts of the city as to their rating of service. Following is the number of responses and distribution of this survey: Excellent 21 Pretty good 109 Only fair 62 Poor 15 Please answer the following: Determine whether the observed frequencies of responses from this survey are statistically the same as the frequencies that would be expected on the basis of the national survey. Hint: Think goodness-of-fit. Also, check out my attachment. Can you describe a chi-squared application, either goodness-of-fit or test-for-independence, in your…

Does the location of your seat in a classroom play a role in attendance or grade? 1600 students in a physics course were randomly assigned to one of four groups. The 400 students in group 1 sat 0 to 4 meters from the front of the class, the 400 students in group 2 sat 4 to 6.5 meters from the front, the 400 students in group 3 sat 6.5 to 9 meters from the front, and the 400 students in group 4 sat 9 to 12 meters from the front. Complete parts (a) through (c). Click the icon to view the chi-square table of critical values. (a) For the first half of the semester, the attendance for the whole class averaged 83%. So, if there is no effect due to seat location, we would expect 83% of students in each group to attend. The data show the attendance history for each group. How many students in each group attended, on average? Is there a significant difference among the groups in attendance patterns? 3 4 Group Attendance 1 0.84 0.84 0.84 0.80 The number of students who attended in the first…

Suppose that in a survey of five-year-olds, 45% liked the letter A, 54% liked the letter B, and 50% liked the letter of C. 29% liked A and B, 28% liked A and C, 29% liked B and C, and 15% liked all of them. What percentage liked A and B but not the letter C?
Magazine Ads. Advertising researchers F. Shuptrine and D. McVicker wanted to determine whether there were significant differences in the readability of magazine advertisements. Thirty magazines were classified based on their educational level—high, mid, or low—and then three magazines were randomly selected from each level. From each magazine, six advertisements were randomly chosen and examined for readability. In this particular case, readability was characterized by the numbers of words, sentences, and words of three syllables or more in each ad. The researchers published their findings in the paper “Readability Levels of Magazine Ads” (Journal of Advertising Research, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 45–51). The number of words of three syllables or more in each ad are provided on the WeissStats site. a. Obtain individual normal probability plots and the standard deviations of the samples. b. Perform a residual analysis. c. Use your results from parts (a) and (b) to decide whether conducting a…
At an assembly plant, workers assemble parts for a piece of farm equipment. The supervisor conducted an experiment to compare the effectiveness of three assembly methods, A, B, and C. Eighteen employees were randomly assigned, six employees each, to one of the three methods. After completing their training, each person was asked to assemble five pieces of equipment using his or her training method. The average time to complete the assembly of all five pieces of equipment was recorded. (a) What type of study design is used? O independent groups design O repeated measures design O matched pairs design O randomized block design What are the experimental units in this study? O the 18 employees O the five pieces of equipment to be assembled O the three assembly methods O the average time to assemble five pieces of equipment (b) What are the treatments? O the 18 employees O the five pieces of equipment to be assembled O the three assembly methods the average time to assemble five pieces of…
A report described teens' attitudes about traditional media, such as TV, movies, and newspapers. In a representative sample of American teenage girls, 42% said newspapers were boring. In a representative sample of American teenage boys, 45% said newspapers were boring. Sample sizes were not given in the report. A button hyperlink to the SALT program that reads: Use SALT. (a) Suppose that the percentages reported had been based on a sample of 50 girls and 40 boys. Is there convincing evidence that the proportion of those who think that newspapers are boring is different for teenage girls and boys? Carry out a hypothesis test using ? = 0.05. (Use pgirls − pboys.) Find the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) z = Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) P-value = State your conclusion. Reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the proportion of girls who say that newspapers are boring is different from the proportion of boys who…
To compare two elementary schools regarding teaching of reading skills, 12 sets of identical twins were used. In each case, one child was selected at random and sent to school A, and his or her twin was sent to school B. Near the end of fifth grade, an achievement test was given to each child. The results follow: Twin Pair 1 2 3 4 5 6 School A 80 145 118 90 112 118 School B 83 135 115 105 105 113 Twin Pair 7 8 9 10 11 12 School A 98 112 115 144 124 96 School B 93 87 98 132 135 105 Suppose a sign test for matched pairs with a 1% level of significance is used to test the hypothesis that the schools have the same effectiveness in teaching reading skills against the alternate hypothesis that the schools have different levels of effectiveness in teaching reading skills. Let p denote portion of positive signs when the scores of school B are subtracted from the corresponding scores of school A.…
