The data come from the records of an estate agent and relate to sales of private houses. A random sample of sales was taken from the records and the following table gives the frequency of each type of sale. 1 bedroom 2 bedrooms 3 bedrooms 4 bedrooms Totals Central 8 7 6 3 24 Suburbs 4 12 14 7 37 Totals 12 19 20 10 61 If one of the properties is chosen at random, the probability that it is a 3 bedroom house, given that it has fewer than 4 bedrooms, is

Suppose you are interested in buying a new Lincoln Navigator or Town Car. You are standing on the sales lot looking at a model with different options. The list price is on the vehicle. As a salesperson approaches, you wonder what the dealer invoice price is for this model with its options. The following data are based on a random selection of these cars of different models and options. Let y be the dealer invoice (in thousands of dollars) for the given vehicle. x 32.4 32.9 36.1 44.0 47.8 y 30.4 31.0 32.0 42.1 42.2 (b) Use a 10% level of significance to test the claim that ρ > 0.

There have been many studies that looked at the incidence of heart attack on the different days of the week. Studies in Japan and Scotland seemed to find that there was a substantial "spike" in heart attacks on Mondays, perhaps as much as 20% more. A researcher studied a random selection of 200 heart attack victims and recorded the day of the week that their attack occurred. The following table summarizes the results. Day Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Count 24 36 27 26 32 26 29 The researcher was interested in whether the distribution of heart attacks was the same or different across the days of the week. Under the appropriate null hypothesis, what is the expected number of heart attacks that occur on Monday? 36.0 28.6 Not within ± 1 of any of these 34.3 40.2
