The Boston public school district has had difficulty maintainingon-time bus service for its students ("A Year Later, SchoolBuses Still Late," Boston Globe, October 5, 2011). Supposethe district develops a new bus schedule to help combatchronic lateness on a particularly woeful route. Historically, thebus service on the route has been, on average, 12 minuteslate. After the schedule adjustment, the first 36 runs were anaverage of 8 minutes late. As a result, the Boston publicschool district claimed that the schedule adjustment was animprovement-students were not as late. Assume a populationstandard deviation for bus arrival time of 12 minutes.At the 5% significance level, does the evidence support theBoston public school district's claim?No, since the p-value is less than alphaO No, since the value of the test statistic is greater than thecritical valueYes, since the p-value is less than alphaYes, since the value of the test statistic is greater thanthe critical value

Given that Hypothesized Population Mean (\mu)(μ) = 1212 Population Standard Deviation…

3. An educational software company wants to compare the effectiveness of its computer animation for teaching biology with that of a textbook presentation. The company gives a biology pretest to each of a group of high school juniors, and then divides them into two groups. One group uses the animation, and the other studies the test. The company retests all students and compares the increase in biology test scores in the two groups. a. Is this an observational study or an experiment? Justify your answer
1) Does taking an aspirin a day help reduce migraine frequency? In a study of 180 volunteers of patients who have cases of daily migraines, half were randomly assigned to take an aspirin every morning and the other half was given a pill that looked identical to the aspirin but had no active ingredients. The patients were told to keep a record of the number of migraines they had each day for the next three months. a. Comment briefly on the extent to which the results of this study can be generalized to some larger population, and the extent to which cause and effect has been established. b. It is well known females have more migraines than males. If this is the case, what type of experimental design would you choose for this study, and why? c. Assume there were 100 females and 80 males for this experiment. Describe a design for this experiment. Be sure to include a description of how you assign individuals to the treatment groups. d.

A research wants to determine if pre-natal exposure to the hormones in birth control pills alters the sex makeup of midshipman fish populations (which are typically half male and half female).Specifically, the researcher wishes to test the hypothesis that exposure to hormones will increase the number of females in the population.The researcher exposes a group of pregnant midshipman fish to birth control hormones and records the sex of the first 19 offspring birthed.They then observe that 13 are female.Use a sign test to test the indicated hypothesis.What is the obtained value?

There are several risks and costs associated with the airline's decision to overbook flights. If too many passengers show up, the airline may need to offer incentives for customers to give up their seats, which can be costly. If too few passengers show up, the airline may be forced to fly with empty seats, resulting in lost revenue. Furthermore, overbooking can lead to negative publicity and damage to the airline's reputation if too many customers are bumped from their flights. In terms of strategy, the airline must weigh the potential benefits of overbooking (maximizing revenue by filling as many seats as possible) against the potential risks and costs. The airline may also consider adjusting its overbooking policy based on factors such as the route, time of day, and historical data on no-show rates for specific flights. Overall, effective demand forecasting and capacity planning are crucial for the airline to optimize its operations and profitability while minimizing negative…

In a study carried out among low-income families in the young towns of Detroit, it was found that 30% spent less than $8 weekly on purchasing charcoal and consumed products from soup kitchens. 35% spent $8 to $15 weekly on the purchase of charcoal. 5% spent more than $15 weekly on the purchase of charcoal and consumed products from the soup kitchen. 15% spent more than $15 each week buying coal. Finally, 55% did not consume the products of the soup kitchens.If you randomly choose a low-income familyto. What is the probability that you spend less than $8 weekly on purchasing coal?b. What is the probability that you do not consume the products of the soup kitchens and spend 8 to 15 dollars buying charcoal?C.
