Many students at Matt's school claim they can think more clearly while listening to their favorite kind of music. Matt thinks music interferes with thinking clearly. To test this, he recruits 84 volunteers and randomly assigns them to two groups. The “Music” group listens to their favorite music while playing a “matching” memory game. The “No Music” group plays the same game in silence. Below are summary statistics for the number of turns it took each subject to complete the game (fewer turns indicates a better performance). (a) Is there convincing evidence that listening to music increases the number of turns required to finish the memory game? (b) Suppose Matt allowed people to choose whether or not they were in the group that listened to music while playing the game? Give an example of a problem that might arise if the subjects were allowed to do this.
Event A and Event B are equally likely, mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive and independent of each other. What is the value of P(A and B)?
Example 1 of the Chapter 9 Examples, we couldn't prove the player made over 80% of all of her free throws at the 1% significance level even though she made 53 out of 60 (which is 88.3%). (a) If she made 88.3% of the 60 free throws, why are we not able to show that she makes over 80%? (b) How many of the 60 would she have to make so that we could prove that she makes over 80% at the 1% significance level. Derive your answer mathematically (not by trial and error) (c) At what significance level would 53 out of 60 allowed us to prove she can make over 80%?
A survey shows that 75% of all respondents chose to have pizza for a mobie night. Suppose that another 8 friends participated in survey. Does it satisfy fixed number of trials? Does it have only 2 outcomes? Are all trials independent? Is it binomial experiment?
students were assigned a quiz that contains 7 independent multiple-choice problems. Each problem was worth 1 point and has 4 choices, where only one of them is correct. A pirate, who does not understand probability and statistics, disguises himself as a clever student and tried to pass one of the quizzes. Unlike our students, he is not able to solve the problems and, thus, decides to randomly choose an answer for each problem. Let X be a random variable representing the score of the pirate on the FIRST problem of the quiz. What distribution does X follow?
You are hiking through the woods, and come across some tracks; based on your expe- rience, you estimate there is a 40% chance the tracks are from a dog, a 30% chance the tracks are from a wolf, a 20% chance the tracks are from a coyote, and a 10% chance the tracks are from some other animal. Your friend, also a nature lover, notices some white hairs in the tracks. They know that 20% of dogs have white hair, 50% of wolves have white hair, 10% of coyotes have white hair, and 30% of other animals in the area have white hair. What are the odds of these tracks coming from a dog, wolf, coyote, or other animal?
Scenario 1: A surgeon routinely performs 4 surgeries. The chance that he performs surgery “A” is 30%. A random sample of 15 patients is selected. Let the variable X be defined as the number of patients that have surgery "A". Scenario 2: Thirteen (13) cards are randomly selected from a standard deck of cards without replacement. Let the variable X be defined as the number of spades selected. Directions: Pick a scenario describe a binomial experiment. Recall the random variable X is for the number of successes in a binomial experiment. • Be certain to state the criteria for a binomial distribution and how it does or does not meet each of the five conditions. Once your answer is posted, you will be able to see your classmates' responses.
Suppose we have a binomial experiment in which success is defined to be a particular quality or attribute that interests us. Use other parts of the question for help with answering the following question: What are the values of ?p̂ and ?p̂? (Use 3 decimal places.)
Scenario: A researcher wants to know whether a hard copy of a textbook provides additional benefits over an e-book. She conducts a study where participants are randomly assigned to read a passage either on a piece of paper or on a computer screen. After a distractor task lasting 30 minutes, the participants are tested for their comprehension of the passage with a multiple-choice test containing 10 questions about their passage. Comprehension was scored using percent correct (0 — 100%). The researcher predicts that those randomly assigned to read the passage on a piece of paper will remember significantly more than those who read the passage online. Question: What is the research / alternate hypothesis for this scenario? People who read a passage on a piece of paper will remember more than those who read a passage online. People who read a passage on a piece of paper will not remember more than those who read a passage online. Amount remembered of a passage will vary based…
