Jeremy is throwing darts at a dartboard, aiming for the bullseye. All of his darts land on the far edge of the board (away from the bullseye), but they are also right next to one another (clustered together). What best describes the results of his throwing darts for the bullseye: reliable, but not valid (correct answer) but why? valid, but not reliable (incorrect) neither reliable nor valid (incorrect) both valid and reliable (incorrect)
Your Question: Problem: Officer Kevin Taylor was on his first day of work and he came upon a wreck at 5 PM. He saw a deer to the side of the road and a long skid mark on the road. The driver was a 26-year-old MCTC student, was not hurt and on the way home from class. The driver claimed to be driving at the speed limit, 35 mph. Office Taylor, having just finished his college algebra course at MCTC, knows that the length L, in feet, of the skid mark and the speed S, in miles per hour, are related by the following formula: S=5.05 * Square root L of a car when brakes are applied is related to the length L, in feet, of the skid mark. The skid mark measures 70 feet. Q1: Identify and define the independent and dependent variables. Q2: Identify the relevant and irrelevant information. Q3: Calculate the speed of the vehicle. Q4: Officer Taylor will write a ticket if the driver is over the speed limit. Will the driver receive a ticket?
John was feeling depressed and anxious. His therapist gave him a depression test (M = 10, s = 3), higher scores mean more depression) and an anxiety inventory (M = 80, s = 25, higher scores mean more anxiety). His score was a 15 on the depression test and a 110 on the anxiety inventory. Is John more depressed than anxious, or more anxious than depressed?
As a student, you probably have noticed a curious phenomenon. In every class, there are some students who zip through exams and turn in their papers while everyone else is still on page 1. Other students cling to their exams and continue working until the very last minute. Have you ever wondered what grades these students get? Are the students who finish first the best in the class or are they simply conceding failure? To answer this question, we carefully observed a recent exam and recorded the amount of time each student spent working and the grade each student received. Is there a relationship between the two?a. Create a scatter plot of the datab.…
Dr. S. Oberman has the research hypothesis that drivers who have consumed one drink are actually slightly better (score higher on a driving test) than drivers who have had no alcohol. (One drink, she believes, makes them relaxed and not as nervous.) She tests this by having subjects take a standard driving test. We know that completely sober, college-student drivers score an average of 75 on this test, where high scores mean better driving. Dr. S. Oberman's null hypothesis is: [note: Ho means mu, the population mean according to the null hypothesis] Ho is equal to 0 Po is less than 0 Po is not known, nor can it be known Ho is equal to (or less than) 75 Po is greater than 75
We want to know if students with bronchitis at 5 years have more cough symptoms when they grow up. Out of 290 children with Bronchitis at Age 5, 32 of them has cough symptoms at Age 12. Out of 970 children with no Bronchitis at Age 5, 43 of them has cough symptoms at Age 12. Is the cough symptom equally prevalent in both populations?
Go Bananas! Great Grasslands Grains, Inc.(GGG) manufactures and sells a wide variety of breakfast cereals.GGG's product development lab recently created a new cereal that consists of rice flakes and banana-flavored marshmallows. The company's marketing research department has tested the new cereal extensively and has found that consumers are enthusiastic about the cereal when 16-ounce boxes contain at least 1.6 ounces and no more than 2.4 ounces of the banana-flavored marshmallows. As GGG prepares to begin producing and selling 16-ounce boxes of the new cereal, which it has named Go Bananas!, management is concerned about the amount of banana-flavored marshmallows. It wants to be careful not to include less than 1.6 ounces or more than 2.4 ounces of banana-flavored marshmallows in each 16-ounce box of Go Bananas!Tina Finkel,VP of Production for GGG, has suggested that the company measure the weight of banana-flavored marshmallows in a random sample of 25 boxes of Go Bananas! on a…

Jerry is considering opening a new ice cream store at a certain location on State Street in Madison. Jerry conducts some analysis and determines that a given location is acceptable only if the number of pedestrians passing the potential location averages more than 100 per hour. To check if this location is acceptable, Jerry records the number of pedestrians observed for each of 40 hours. Jerry finds that the average number of pedestrians that pass the potential location during each of the 40 hours he was observing, is 105.7 per hour. Jerry assumes that he knows the population standard deviation to be 16. Can Jerry conclude at the 1% significance level that the potential location for the ice cream store is acceptable? a. What is the correct set of hypotheses? Answer: Ho: u = 100 and H1: u> 100 v b. Determine the p-value Answer: 0.0122 c. Interpret the results Answer: There is not enough evidence d.

An SAT prep course claims to improve the test score of students. The table below shows the scores for seven students the first two times they took the verbal SAT. Before taking the SAT for the second time, each student took a course to try to improve his or her verbal SAT scores. Do these results support the claim that the SAT prep course improves the students' verbal SAT scores? Let d = (verbal SAT scores prior to taking the prep course)-(verbal SAT scores after taking the prep course). Use a significance level of α = 0.05 for the test. Assume that the verbal SAT scores are normally distributed for the population of students both before and after taking the SAT prep course.

Lennard is deciding whether to purchase a wireless speaker from a major online retailer. He looks at the reviews for the speaker and notices that out of 100 reviews posted (with possible range of 1−5 stars), 99 reviews are 4 or 5 stars and only 1 review is 1 star-rated. He does, however, notice that the 1 star-rated review was posted very recently - just over the past few weeks. Nevertheless, the average overall rating for the product is 4.7 and Lennard decides to purchase the speaker. Why is the average review statistic misleading in this case?
