shiela is a big fan of foxes and has studied the weight of young foxes of a certain type at birth. She is interested in examining whether there is a difference in the weight (weight in weight) of urchins by sex at birth. She therefore conducts the following study. She randomly selected 15 female and 15 male urchins and weighed them. The average weight of the male urchins was 1.23 kgand the variance 0.3, but the average weight of the female urchins was 1.13 kg and the variance 0.4. Let's call the male urchins group 1.

One study found a negative correlation between participant’s age and hours of sleep they got (as they got older, they slept less). Which additional fact would lead you to believe that the relationship between age and hours of sleep is one of causation and not correlation? Jim is 63 and sleeps more than he did when he 47. Josie is 40 and sleeps fewer hours than when she was 30. The participants were randomly selected, the sample size was large, and the participants did not know the goal of the study. Jennie sometimes has difficulty sleeping.
Researchers investigate how the presence of cell phones influence the quality of human interaction. Subjects are randomly selected from a population and divided into an experimental group that is asked to leave their phones in the front of the room and a control group that are not asked to leave their cell phones at the front of the room. Subjects are left alone for 10 minutes and then asked to take a survey designed to measure quality of interactions they had with others in the experiment. What statistical test is appropriate?
Kris works for the MESA Air Pollution Study at UW, and studies the correlation be- tween air pollution and the disease atherosclerosis. Nationally, 40% of adults suffer from atherosclerosis. Kris suspects that the proportion of people with atherosclerosis in high- pollution areas is higher. In a random sample of 600 residents of high-pollution areas, he finds that 270 (45%) subjects have atherosclerosis. At the 1% level (α = .01), is this good evidence that people in high-pollution areas are more likely to have atherosclerosis? (a) Which of the following is the Ha ? (research claim or alternate) A. Ha : p ≥ 0.40 B. Ha : pb ≥ 0.40 C. Ha : p > 0.40 D. Ha : p > b 0.40 E. Ha : p > b 0.45 F. Ha : p > 0.45 G. Ha : pb ≥ 0.45 H. Ha : p ≥ 0.45 I.

A factor in determining the usefulness of an examination as a measure of demonstrated ability is the amount of spread that occurs in the grades. If the spread or variation of examination scores is very small, it usually means that the examination was either too hard or too easy. However, if the variance of scores is moderately large, then there is a definite difference in scores between "better," "average," and "poorer" students. A group of attorneys in a Midwest state has been given the task of making up this year's bar examination for the state. The examination has 500 total possible points, and from the history of past examinations, it is known that a standard deviation of around 60 points is desirable. Of course, too large or too small a standard deviation is not good. The attorneys want to test their examination to see how good it is. A preliminary version of the examination (with slight modifications to protect the integrity of the real examination) is given to a random sample of…
A behavioral scientist investigated whether there is a significant difference in the percentages of men and women who purchase silver-colored cars. The scientist selected a random sample of 50 men and a random sample of 52 women who had recently purchased a new car. Of the men selected, 16 had purchased a silver-colored car. Of the women selected, 9 had purchased a silver-colored car. Which of the following is the most appropriate method for analyzing the results? A two-sample zz-test for the difference in population proportions A A two-sample zz-test for the difference in sample proportions B A one-sample zz-test for a sample proportion C A one-sample zz-test for a population proportion D A one-sample zz-test for a difference in sample proportions
"A large candy manufacturer produces, packages and sells packs of candy targeted to weigh 52 grams. A quality control manager working for the company was concerned that the variation in the actual weights of the targeted 52-gram packs was larger than acceptable. That is, he was concerned that some packs weighed significantly less than 52-grams and some weighed significantly more than 52 grams. In an attempt to estimate the variance of the weights of all of the 52-gram packs the manufacturer makes, he took a random sample of n = 20 packs off of the factory line. The random sample yielded a sample variance of 3.5 grams. Use 90% confidence level. What is the confidence interval for the variance of the weight of the candy?"

In college, talented runners may join a cross-country team. Runners tend to run their best times when they run even splits. Even splits occur when the runners maintain an even pace throughout the race. The cross-country coach wants to estimate the typical variability in his best runner's 1-mile splits. He takes a random sample of 25 of this runner's mile splits and finds that this runner's mean 1-mile split is 5.44 minutes per mile, with a standard deviation of 0.14 minutes per mile. This runner's 1-mile splits follow a normal distribution. (a) Find the chi-square critical values XL² and Xu² to be used in constructing a 95% confidence interval for the true population standard deviation. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) XL²= XU²= (b) Find the 95% confidence interval for the true variability in his best runner's 1-mile splits. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) lower bound and the upper bound
A father is concerned that his teenage son is watching too much television each day, since his son watches an average of 2 hours per day His son says that his TV habits are no different than those of his friends. Since this father has taken a stats class, he knows that can actually test to see whether or not his son is watching more TV than his peers The father collects a random sample of watching times from boys at his son's high school and gets the following data: 1.9, 2.3, 2.2, 1.9, 1.6, 2.6, 1.4, 2.0, 2.0, 2.2 Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of hours teenagers at that school watch TV. a.

Do larger universities tend to have more property crime? University crime statistics are affected by a variety of factors. The surrounding community, accessibility given to outside visitors, and many other factors influence crime rate. Let x be a variable that represents student enrollment (in thousands) on a university campus, and let y be a variable that represents the number of burglaries in a year on the university campus. A random sample of n = 8 universities in California gave the following information about enrollments and annual burglary incidents. x 10.9 30.4 24.5 14.3 7.5 27.7 16.2 20.1 y 23 76 39 23 15 30 15 25 (a) Make a scatter diagram of the data. Then visualize the line you think best fits the data. A scatter diagram has a horizontal axis labeled "x (student enrollment (in thousands))" with values from 7.5 to 30.4 and a vertical axis labeled "y (annual number of burglaries)" with values from 15 to 76. The scatter diagram has 8 points. A pattern goes up and…
