The (hypothetical) data given below are based on a random sample of customers shopping at alocal electronics store. The goal of the study was to determine whether students are equallylikely to own an iPad than non-students. The study was conducted by asking the first 500customers who walked into the store: (1) if they were currently full-time students (yes/no) and(2) if they own an iPad (yes/no).

Seattle Grace Medical Center. As part of a long-term study of individuals 65 years of age or older, doctors at the Seattle Grace Medical Center in Washington state investigated the relationship between state of residence and depression. A sample of 60 individuals, all in reasonably good health, was selected; 20 individuals were residents of Texas, 20 were residents of Washington state, and 20 were residents of South Carolina. Each of the individuals sampled was given a standardized test to measure depression. The data collected follow; higher test scores indicate higher levels of depression. These data are contained in the attached data file SeattleGrace1. A second part of the study considered the relationship between state of residence and depression for individuals 65 years of age or older who had a chronic health condition such as diabetes and/or high blood pressure. A sample of 60 individuals with such conditions was identified. Again, 20 were residents of Texas, 20 were residents…
Dr. Guidry conducts a study examining the relationship between the number of friends one has and the experience of daily stress and life satisfaction. She randomly samples 1,500 elderly men and women in Nashville, Tennessee (the state capital), located in the southern United States. Dr. Guidry submits her study for publication in a scientific journal. If one of the peer reviewers is concerned about the external validity of her study, which of the following is the most important aspect of Dr. Guidry's study to consider? the number of significant findings the random sampling technique used to recruit the participants the number of people in the sample the use of three measured variables
The Women’s Institutional Studies group at a Midwestern university wanted to compare the percentages of female faculty members in the various units on campus in Spring 2004. Of particular interest were the percentages of female faculty in the College of Education and in the College of Business . In a sample of 80 College of Education faculties, there were 36 females, and in a sample of 70 College of Business faculties, there were 15 females. Based upon this sample information, which of the following is the 98% confidence interval for the difference in the actual percentages of female faculty between College of Education and College of Business ? a. (0.075, 0.405). b. (0.123, 0.357). c. (-0.012, 0.252). d. (0.058, 0.422). e. (0.101, 0.379).
The authors of a research article were interested in the effect on female viewers of watching movies in which female heroines were portrayed in roles that focus on their sex appeal. They carried out an experiment in which female college students were assigned at random to one of two experimental groups. The 24 women in one group watched 13 minutes of scenes from a certain superhero film series and then responded to a questionnaire designed to measure body esteem. Lower scores on this measure correspond to lower body satisfaction. The 27 women in the other group (the control group) did not watch any video prior to responding to the questionnaire measuring body esteem. For the women who watched the video, the mean body esteem score was 4.44 and the standard deviation was 1.02. For the women in the control group, the mean body esteem score was 5.07 and the standard deviation was 0.98. For purposes of this exercise, you may assume that the distribution of body esteem scores for each of the…
An article about the California lattery gave the following information on the age distribution of adults in California: 35% are between 18 and 34 years old, 51% are between 35 and 64 years old, and 14% are 65 years old or older. The artide also gave Information on the age distribution of those who purchase lottery tickets. The following table is consistent with the values given in the article. Suppose that the data resulted from a random sample of 200 lattery ticket purchasers. Based on these sample data, is it reasonable to condude that ane or more af these three age groups buys a disproportionate share of lottery tickets? Use a chi-square goodness-of-fit test with a- 0.05. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Age of Purchaser Frequency 18-34 45 35-64 100 65 and over 55 P-value interval Op

A television station wishes to study the relationship between viewership of its 11 p.m. news program and viewer age (18 years or less, 19 to 35, 36 to 54, 55 or older). A sample of 250 television viewers in each age group is randomly selected, and the number who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news is found for each sample. The results are given in the table below. Age Group Watch11 p.m. News? 18 or less 19 to 35 36 to 54 55 or Older Total Yes 37 46 59 83 225 No 213 204 191 167 775 Total 250 250 250 250 1,000 (a) Let p1, p2, p3, and p4 be the proportions of all viewers in each age group who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news. If these proportions are equal, then whether a viewer watches the station’s 11 p.m. news is independent of the viewer’s age group. Therefore, we can test the null hypothesis H0 that p1, p2, p3, and p4 are equal by carrying out a chi-square test for independence. Perform this test by setting α = .05.

The Consumer Reports Restaurant Customer Satisfaction Survey is based upon 148,599 visits to full-service restaurant chains (Consumer Reports website). One of the variables in the study is meal price, the average amount paid per person for dinner and drinks, minus the tip. Suppose a reporter for the Sun Coast Times thought that it would be of interest to her readers to conduct a similar study for restaurants located on the Grand Strand section in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The reporter selected a sample of 8 seafood restaurants, 8 Italian restaurants, and 8 steakhouses. The following data show the meal prices ($) obtained for the 24 restaurants sampled. Use a = 0.05 to test whether there is a significant difference among the mean meal price for the three types of restaurants.

A businesswoman is considering whether to open a coffee shop in a local shopping center. Before making this decision, she wants to know how much money people spend per week at coffee shops in that area. She took a random sample of 26 customers from the area who visit coffee shops and asked them to record the amount of money (in dollars) they would spend during the next week at coffee shops. At the end of the week, she obtained the following data (in dollars) from these 26 customers: 16.63 38.63 15.14 14.47 5.01 63.64 10.19 13.28 32.25 36.00 16.19 65.91 10.28 37.14 3.22 6.92 34.65 6.40 36.35 27.59 38.67 13.18 9.80 9.48 1.21 5.19 Assume that the distribution of weekly expenditures at coffee shops by all customers who visit coffee shops in this area is approximately normal.

A J.D. Power and Associates vehicle quality survey asked new owners a variety of questions about their recently purchased automobile. One question asked for the owner's rating of the vehicle using categorical responses of average, outstanding, and exceptional. Another question asked for the owner's education level with the categorical responses some high school, high school graduate, some college, and college graduate. Assume the sample data below are for 500 owners who had recently purchased an automobile. Education Quality Rating Some HS HS Grad Some College College Grad Average 30 30 20 60 Outstanding 50 50 50 90 Exceptional 20 20 30 50 a. Use a 0.05 level of significance and a test of independence to determine if a new owner's vehicle quality rating is independent of the owner's education. Compute the value of the x test statistic (to 2 decimals). Use Table 3 of Appendix B to find the p-value. The p-value is - Select your answer - What is your conclusion? - Select your answer - v…
