Students in a high school statistics class wanted to see if the distribution of the colors of a popular candy 2. was different in the bags for different types of candies the company manufactures. The students purchased several large bags of regular candies, tropical-flavored candies, and sour-flavored candies. For each type of candy, the students took a random sample of 100 candies and recorded how many of each color (red, green, yellow, or blue) were in the sample. The students verified the conditions for inference and calculated a chi- square test statistic of 12.59 with a corresponding P-value of 0.05. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the P-value in the context of the test?

The price drivers pay for gasoline often varies a great deal across regions throughout the United States. The following data show the price per gallon for regular gasoline for a random sample of gasoline service stations for three major brands of gasoline (Shell, BP, and Marathon) located in eleven metropolitan areas across the upper Midwest region (OhioGasPrices.com website, March 18, 2012).

Jocelyn believes that the amount of sleep she tends to get on weekends differs from the amount of sleep she tends to get during the school week. To investigate this claim, she randomly selects 10 weekend days and 10 school days. She consults her smart watch to determine the number of hours she slept for each of the selected days. Here are the data. School week: 7, 7.5, 8, 6.5, 8, 7.5, 7, 6.5, 7, 8Weekend: 9.5, 9.5, 8.25, 8.5, 7.5, 10.25, 8, 7, 9.5, 10 Jocelyn would like to determine if these data provide convincing evidence that the true mean amount of sleep she gets on the weekend differs from the true mean amount of sleep she gets during the school week. She tests H0: μS – μW = 0, Ha: μS – μW ≠ 0, where μW = the true mean amount of sleep Jocelyn gets on the weekend and μS = the true mean amount of sleep she gets during the school week. The conditions for inference are met. What are the values of the test statistic and P-value for a t-test about a difference in means? Find the…

A real estate agency, located in a metropolitan area in the northeastern U.S., kept data on the various types of properties purchased in the area. Historically, 15% of purchases were for condominiums, 30% were for townhouses, 40% for single family homes, 10% for commercial properties and 5% for land. With changing demographics, the agency wondered if the current distribution matches the historical distribution. Recent data showed the following: Type of Property Condos Townhouses Homes Commercial Land Frequency 89 121 78 25 12 Based on the historical distribution, we would expect how many homes to be purchased?

A contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section. To prepare for the story, she conducts a study to compare the exercise habits of people who exercise in the morning to the exercise habits of people who work out in the afternoon or evening. She selects three different health centers from which to draw her samples. The 57 people she sampled who work out in the morning have a mean of 4.8 hours of exercise each week. The 56 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 4.2 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.8 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.3 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Step 1 of 2 : Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts…

Each egg in the randomly selected cartons had their nutritional content analyzed.The data provided here are the amounts of milligrams of cholesterol in each of the sampled eggs. 186, 188, 179, 180, 192, 186, 183, 177, 184, 178, 191, 174,189, 176, 190, 188, 196, 187, 184, 184, 192, 194, 198, 183,183, 181, 187, 190, 186, 176, 183, 185, 191, 180, 184, 182 Test the validity of the claim, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the mean amount of cholesterol in a standard large egg is under 190 mg.
The accompanying table gives amounts of arsenic in samples of brown rice from three different states. The amounts are in micrograms of arsenic and all samples have the same serving size. The data are from the Food and Drug Administration. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the three samples are from populations with the same mean. Do the amounts of arsenic appear to be different in the different states? Given that the amounts of arsenic in the samples from Texas have the highest mean, can we conclude that brown rice from Texas poses the greatest health problem? Click the icon to view the data.

A consumer group wanted to determine if there was a difference in customer perceptions about prices for a specific type of toy depending on where the toy was purchased. In the local area there are three main retailers: W-Mart, Tag, and URToy. For each retailer, the consumer group randomly selected 5 customers, and asked them to rate how expensive they thought the toy was on a 1-to-10 scale (1= not expensive, to 10 = very expensive). The toy was priced the same at all retail stores. 1. What kind of statistical test should be used to test the consumer group's research goal, assuming that the researcher wanted to use the 1-to-10 scale as a numerical interval measure? A. Repeated-measures t-test B. One-way Independent Measures ANOVA C. Repeated-measures ANOVA D. Independent-measures t-test 2. State the hypothesis that aims to test the consumer group’s research goal (i.e., what is H0 and HA).
An industrial-organizational psychologist is interested in discovering the relationship between the tempo of preferred music that is played in a workplace and employee mood. Employees chose their favorite song on an MP3 player and then reported their moods when listening to that piece of music. A total of 10 participants were asked individually and brought in their own MP3 players; the least number of songs on an employee's MP3 player was 350. The sample data are presented as a scatterplot below. The psychologist wants to use a Pearson correlation coefficient to analyze the relationship. Considering the assumptions for this statistic, which of these statements is the correct course of action? A. The researcher has chosen the wrong statistic to represent this relationship. B. The researcher has violated a robust assumption and should be able to calculate r. C. The researcher has chosen the right statistic because all the assumptions are valid. D. The researcher has violated a…
A marketing firm is doing research for an Internet-based company. It wants to appeal to the age group of people who spend the most money online. The company wants to know if there is a difference in the mean amount of money people spend per month on Internet purchases depending on their age bracket. The marketing firm looked at two age groups, 1818-2424 years and 2525-3030 years, and collected the data shown in the following table. Let Population 1 be the amount of money spent per month on Internet purchases by people in the 1818-2424 age bracket and Population 2 be the amount of money spent per month on Internet purchases by people in the 2525-3030 age bracket. Assume that the population variances are not the same.
