Suppose 40 % of students who drive to campus carry jump cables in their cars in case of a dead battery emergency. Suppose further your car battery dies and that you do not have jumper cables in your car. Consider the experiment of stopping other students and asking to borrow jumper cables so that you are able to "jump" or re-energize your car battery. Accordingly, let X ="number of students who must be stopped before find a student with jumper cables." i) Give the probability mass function for this random variable, i.e. Px(X = x) ii) Compute the probability Px(X = 1). iii) Compute the probability Px(X < 3) iv) Compute the probability Px(X > 5). v) What is the expected value in this experiment? vi) What is the variance in this experiment?

A researcher wonders if there an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of Vitamin C taken. He recruits 93 volunteers and randomly assigns 26 of them to take 500 mg of Vitamin C, 18 of them to take 1000 mg of Vitamin C and the rest to take no Vitamin C. At the end of the study, it was determined that 30 of the volunteers did not have any colds where 15 of them were in the 500 mg group, 11 of them were in the 1000 mg group, and the rest took no Vitamin C. Test the appropriate hypothesis at a = 0.01. Round your answers to three decimal places, if necessary. Fill in the hypotheses below: Ho: There is not vitamin C taken. Ha: There is vitamin C taken. Complete the table of expected counts under the null hypothesis: No Vitamin C 500mg Vitamin C 1000mg Vitamin C No Vitamin C 500mg Vitamin C 1000mg Vitamin C At least one cold 33.194 an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of an association between the incidence of colds and the amount of 17.613 12.194…

Based on information from a previous study, r1 = 34 people out of a random sample of n1 = 105 adult Americans who did not attend college believe in extraterrestrials. However, out of a random sample of n2 = 105 adult Americans who did attend college, r2 = 50 claim that they believe in extraterrestrials. Does this indicate that the proportion of people who attended college and who believe in extraterrestrials is higher than the proportion who did not attend college? Use ? = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance?State the null and alternate hypotheses. H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 ≠ p2H0: p1 < p2; H1: p1 = p2 H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 < p2H0: p1 = p2; H1: p1 > p2 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? The Student's t. The number of trials is sufficiently large.The standard normal. We assume the population distributions are approximately normal. The standard normal.

In a sample of 202 men, 77 said they used seat belts. In a sample of 311 women, 84 said they used seat belts. Test the claim that men are more safety conscious than women, at a=0.01?
2. When she was 9 years old, Emily Rosa did a science fair experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and touching it. Among the 280 trials, therapists were correct 123 times. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that touch therapists are effective? Test at the 1% level with both the critical value and p-value methods.
In a random sample of 1022 Canadian adults, 480 think that the Canadian government is doing too little to protect the environment. In another random sample of 1008 Canadian adults taken 10 years ago, 514 think that the Canadian government is doing too little to protect the environment. At a=0.10, can you reject the claim that the proportion of US adults who think that the Canadian government is doing too little to protect the environment hasn't changed?

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference p₁ - P2. Do not use rounded values. Round your final answer to two decimal places.) (c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value. 0-3 -2 -2 -1 -1 0 Read It 0 1 1 Watch it 2 2 3 0-3 ^ -1 0 1 -2 -2 -1 0 1 O At the a = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant. O At the a = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant. 2 2 (d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
