It’s assumed that students need to stay awake more to study during finals week. One way to measure this is how much coffee is consumed during Finals week at night. A local coffee house near APU counted the number of cups of coffee sold per hour during Finals week after 6 p.m. We randomly select ten (10) hours of sales records during Finals week and find out that the following number of cups of coffee were consumed: 18, 17, 22, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24, 15, 15 By comparison, the sales records from a previous week were used as a comparison. The following number of cups of coffee were consumed over a seven (7) hour period: 9, 13, 5, 15, 17, 10, 11 a. Determine what is the appropriate statistical procedure, with a brief explanation (one sentence) as to why this is the appropriate procedure. b. State the null hypothesis. c. Execute the proper calculations with the appropriate procedures. d. Present a graph when appropriate of your results. e. Include any appropriate post-hoc tests. f. State…
An article included data from a survey of 2587 hiring managers and human resource professionals.The article noted that many employees are using social networks to screen job applicants and that this practice is becoming more common. Of the 2587 people who participated in the survey, 1300 indicated that they use social networking sites ( such as Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn) to research job applicants. For the purposes of this exercise, assume that the sample is representative of hiring managers and human resource professionals. d. suppose that researchers wanted to estimate the proportion of hiring managers and human resource professionals who screen job applicants using social networks. determine the sample size required to estimate the proportion of employers using social networks to screen job applicants to within .03 with 99% confidence. ( round your answer up to the nearest whole number ) hint: use formula that is used when the p estimate is unknown
Consider the data set A (2,5,5,5,6,8) A) find the mode, median and mean. B) use the computation formula the compute the standard deviation
A study used 1259 patients who had suffered a stroke. The study randomly assigned each subject to an aspirin treatment or a placebo treatment. During a 3-year follow-up period, in Sample 1, 634 people received placebo treatments and 25 people died from heart attack. In sample 2, 625 people received aspirin treatment and 18 died from heart attack. Let pl denote the population proportion of death from heart attack for those with no treatment and p2 denote the population proportion of death from heart attack for those with aspirin treatment. (c) Which of SEO and SE1 is used for calculating a confidence interval for comparing two population proportions? Which is used for calculating the test statistic in a hypothesis test? (d) Construct the 95% confidence interval for pi – p2. Interpret.
