The college is planning to add a food vender in the student union and would like to know what type of food service the students would prefer. A sample of 120 students is obtained and each student is asked to select his/her preference from a coffee shop, a pizza place, or a hamburger grill. The resulting frequency data are as follows: coffee pizza hamburger 53 37 30 What is the expected frequency (number) for each category?

Rachel Green, a fashion buyer at Ralph Lauren, wanted to know which seasonal clothing line Ralph Lauren customers prefer. She randomly selected 200 Ralph Lauren customers to survey about their seasonal preferences. She asked the following question: "Which seasonal clothing line is your favorite: spring, summer, fall, or winter?" The results were as follows: Spring: 10 Summer: 11 Fall: 149 Winter: 20 Based ONLY on this information (do not try to infer anything else!), answer the following questions. Did sampling bias occur? Why or why not? Did response bias occur? Why or why not? Did nonresponse bias occur? Why or why not?
A student selects a random sample of 145 students from her large high school. For each student, she records the grade level and their favorite type of pet. She would like to know if there is convincing evidence that grade level is associated with type of pet. Let a = 0.05. The observed and expected counts are displayed in the tables. Observed counts: Pet Dog Cat Bird Other Ninth and Tenth 21 15 8 30 Grades Eleventh and Grade 24 12 11 24 Twelfth Grades Expected counts: Pet Dog Cat Bird Other Ninth and Tenth 23.0 13.8 9.7 27.6 Grades Grade
A vaccine to prevent a severe virus was given to children within the first year of life as part of a drug study. The study reported that of the 3456bchildren randomly assigned the vaccine, 58 got the virus. Of the 1606 children randomly assigned the placebo, 46 got the virus. a. Find the sample percentage of children who caught the virus in each group. Is the sample percentage lower for the vaccine group, as investigators hoped? b. Determine whether the vaccine is effective in reducing the chance of catching the virus, using a significance level of 0.01.The first few steps of the hypothesis-testing procedure are given. Complete the procedure.
American businesses provide?" The distribution of responses to this question was as follows: Excellent 8% Pretty good 47% Only fair 34% Poor 11% Suppose a store manager wants to find out whether the results of this consumer survey apply to customers of supermarkets in his city. To do so, he interviews 207 randomly selected customers as they leave the supermarkets in various parts of the city as to their rating of service. Following is the number of responses and distribution of this survey: Excellent 21 Pretty good 109 Only fair 62 Poor 15 Please answer the following: Determine whether the observed frequencies of responses from this survey are statistically the same as the frequencies that would be expected on the basis of the national survey. Hint: Think goodness-of-fit. Also, check out my attachment. Can you describe a chi-squared application, either goodness-of-fit or test-for-independence, in your…
A group of 11 students was selected at random and asked for their high school GPA and their freshmen GPA in college the subsequent year. The results were: Student High School GPA Freshmen GPA 1 2.0 1.6 2 2.2 2.0 3 2.6 1.8 4 2.7 2.8 5 2.8 2.1 6 3.1 2.0 7 2.9 2.6 8 3.2 2.2 9 3.3 2.6 10 3.6 3.0 We would like to know whether there is a linear relationship between the high school GPA and the college freshmen GPA, and we would like to be able to predict the freshmen GPA, if we know that the high school GPA of another student is, say, 3.4. Provide the two requested scatter plots for this data (put college freshman GPA on the Y (vertical) axis!). a) What would be your approximate 95% prediction interval for question (g)? b) Show your scatterplot with the predicted trend line below
A Statistics instructor wishes to know the average age (in month) of his 200 students. He decides to choose 25 students from the class and ask them for their age. All 200 names are put in a hat and 25 names are then chosen at random (without replacement). The average age of the students chosen is observed to be 231 months. The group of 25 students is known as what?

A quarterback threw 1 interception in his first game, 2 interceptions in his second game, and 5 inter-ceptions in his third game, and then he retired. Consider the values1, 2, and 5 to be a population. Assume that samples of size 2 are randomly selected (with replacement) from the population. List the 9 different possible samples, and find the mean of each sample.
To compare two elementary schools regarding teaching of reading skills, 12 sets of identical twins were used. In each case, one child was selected at random and sent to school A, and his or her twin was sent to school B. Near the end of fifth grade, an achievement test was given to each child. The results follow: Twin Pair 1 2 3 4 5 6 School A 80 145 118 90 112 118 School B 83 135 115 105 105 113 Twin Pair 7 8 9 10 11 12 School A 98 112 115 144 124 96 School B 93 87 98 132 135 105 Suppose a sign test for matched pairs with a 1% level of significance is used to test the hypothesis that the schools have the same effectiveness in teaching reading skills against the alternate hypothesis that the schools have different levels of effectiveness in teaching reading skills. Let p denote portion of positive signs when the scores of school B are subtracted from the corresponding scores of school A.…
