Television Set Ownership According to Nielsen Media Research, of all the U.S. households that owned at least one television set, 83% had two or more sets. A local cable company canvassing the town to promote a new cable service found that of the 295 households visited, 240 had two or more television sets. At =α0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion is less than the one in the report? Do not round

The NAEP music assessment scores for eighth grade students are approximately N (150, 35). Find the z-scores by standardizing the following scores: 150, 140, 100, 180, and 230. The percentile score is the proportion of students who would score LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO the score for the individual student. Compute the percentile scores for the five scores.

According to data from the Tobacco Institute Testing Laboratory, a certain brand of cigarette contains an average of 1.4 milligrams of nicotine. An advocacy group questions this figure, and commissions an independent test to see if the the mean nicotine content is higher than the industry laboratory claims. The test involved randomly selecting n = 15 cigarettes, measuring the nicotine content (in milligrams) of each cigarette. The data is given below: 1.8, 1.8, 1.5, 1.1, 1.4, 1.3, 1.3, 1.4, 1.1, 1.3, 1.6, 1.2, 1.8, 1.4, 1.6; Download .csv file Not sure how to perform some of the tasks with R-Studio?

Refer to the data presented in Exercise 2.86. Note that there were 50% more accidents in the 25 to less than 30 age group than in the 20 to less than 25 age group. Does this suggest that the older group of drivers in this city is more accident- prone than the younger group? What other explanation might account for the difference in accident rates?

A researcher hypothesizes that different colors of cars result in different average speeds. To test this claim, she took a random sample of 20 people who own 4 different colors of colors of cars (n = 20, N = 80, G = 4), and she then tracks their average speed on the highway for a week of driving. The following ANOVA table has some of her results. Please help her answer her research questions by completing the following ANOVA table below and answering the follow-up questions. Be sure to label your answers with the appropriate letter and show all your work!

Past records suggest that the mean annual income, μ1 , of teachers in state of Utah is greater than or equal to the mean annual income, μ2 , of teachers in Oregon. In a current study, a random sample of 15 teachers from Utah and an independent random sample of 15 teachers from Oregon have been asked to report their mean annual income.The data obtained are as follows. Annual income in dollars Utah 40375, 40119, 38197, 31687, 33695, 32737, 31677, 34683, 29973, 27954, 30679, 23613, 30854, 39423, 43263 Oregon 29526, 39202, 41422, 42190, 33702, 43330, 37084, 35078, 50852, 45628, 43294, 28607, 39779, 42331, 40648 The population standard deviation for mean annual income of teachers in Utah and in Oregon are estimated as 6400 and 6500 , respectively. It is also known that both populations are approximately normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean annual…
