The chief of security for the Mall of the Dakotas directed a study of theft. He selected a sample of 200 boxes that had been tampered with and ascertained that, for 105 of the boxes, the missing pants, shoes, and so on were attributed to shoplifting. For 40 boxes, employees had stolen the goods, and for the remaining 55 boxes, he blamed poor inventory control. In his report to the mall management, can he say that shoplifting is twice as likely to be the cause of the loss as compared with either employee theft or poor inventory control and that employee theft and poor inventory control are equally likely? Use the 0.10 significance level. He: The proportions are as stated. H: The proportions are not as stated. State the decision rule using 010 significance level. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Reject HO if chi-square > 4.605 Compute the value of chi-square. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Chi-square value

A warehouse manager wants to know if there is an association between the shift worked and being on time for work. To investigate, he selects a random sample of 70 workers and classifies each one according to the shift they worked most recently and whether they were on time for work. He was unable to classify a substantial number of people as being on time, so he classified those individuals as unknown. The data are displayed in the table. The manager would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence of an association between the shift worked and being on time in the large population of all workers at this warehouse. The random and 10% conditions are met. Is the Large Counts condition met? Yes, the smallest expected count is 5, so all expected counts are at least 5. Yes, the smallest expected count is 8.54, so all expected counts are at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is 2.56, so the expected counts are not all at least 5. No, the smallest expected count is…
A visiting comparative literature student from Cambridge University believes that contemporary readers prefer novels from George RR Martin (the author of the Games of Thrones saga) to Shakespeare. She devises a study in which 40 participants are asked to read excerpts from both Shakespeare plays and Games of Thrones books and rate their level of satisfaction for each excerpt. Satisfaction is measured using a 5-point Likert scale (5 indicates high satisfaction). In order to allow for a fair comparison, she hides the name of the authors and recruits a professional translator to adapt the Games of Thrones text to old Elizabethan English. The order of presentation is also randomised and balanced across participants. The attached CSV file contains the data that was collected for the experiment. What can you conclude from the results of this experiment? I require assistance on: Identifying the appropriate statistical test. Conducting the statistical test in JASP, Excel or SPSS. Reporting…
As a destination marketing director, you found that TV executives used the guideline that 25% of the viewers were watching Fox cable network, 22% watching NBC and CBS, and 19% watching ABC. The remaining 12% were watching other cable networks such as CNN and MSNBC on a weekday night. A random sample of 500 viewers in the D.C. metro area last Tuesday night showed 109 homes were tuned in to the Fox station, 125 homes tuning in to NBC affiliate, 100 homes tuning in to CBS affiliate and 81 homes tuning in to ABC affiliate. 85 homes were watching CNN and NSNBC cable stations. At the 0.05 significant level, can we conclude that the guideline is still reasonable?
Wegman’s (a food market chain) has developed a new store-brand brownie mix. Before they start selling the mix they want to compare how well people like their brownies to brownies made from a popular national brand mix. In order to see if there was any difference in consumer opinion, Wegman’s asked 124 shoppers to participate in a taste test. Each was given a brownie to try. Subjects were not told which kind of brownie they got—that was determined randomly. 58% of the 62 shoppers who tasted a Wegman’s brownie said liked it well enough to buy the mix, compared to 66% of the others who said they would be willing to buy the national brand. Does this result indicate that consumer interest in the Wegman’s mix is lower than for the national brand?
Among college students, the proportion p who say they’re interested in their congressional district’s election results has traditionally been 75% . After a series of debates on campuses, a political scientist claims that the proportion of college students who say they’re interested in their district’s election results is more than 75% . A poll is commissioned, and 207 out of a random sample of 275 college students say they’re interested in their district’s election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.01 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 . H0: H1: (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. ▼(Choose one) (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round…
An article was published concerning the incidence of cardiac death attributable to earthquake in Los Angeles County on January 17, 1994. In the week before the earthquake there were an average of 15.6 cardiac deaths per day in Los Angeles County. On the day of the earthquake, there were 51 cardiac deaths. Among days with more than 10 admissions, what proportion fall on weekends?
A study was done to determine if food insecurity/hunger impacts psychological distress (this is fake data to make it simple, but it is based off of a 2020 study that examined the associations between food insecurity and psychological distress among older people in Ghana). Participants were broken into three groups based on their responses: no food insecurity, moderate food insecurity, and severe food insecurity. Psychological distress was measured on the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), where scores range from 0 to 50. Enter data and test to determine if there is a significant difference between the 3 groups in psychological distress Food insecurity: Psychological distress scores (higher = more distress) No food insecurity 5 6 8 10 5 4 14 9 Moderate food insecurity 16 14 9 7 14 8 16 17 Severe food insecurity…
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 43% of the college students work full time. A survey of 900 randomly selected college students is to be conducted. For such groups of 900, would it be unusual to get 735 college students who work fulltime?
Based on market sales figures, approximately 7.9% of car owners in California own an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle (EV). A marketing director at a local car dealership would like to know if their sales of EV's is any greater than what the state's sales proportions are. To examine this, they look over the last 500 sales (which they consider to be a representative sample of all car sales) and determine that 10.4% of those were EV sales. Is this statistically significant evidence that the dealership sells a higher proportion of EV's than the overall state's proportion? Which of the following are the correct null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test used to determine significance? Ho:p = 0.079 Haip > 0.079 %3D O Ho:p = 0.079 Hai p > 0.104 O Ho:p 0.079 O Ho:p 0.104
