The incidence of a certain type of chromosome defect inthe U.S. adult male population is believed to be 1 in 75.A random sample of 800 individuals in U.S. penal institutionsreveals 16 who have such defects. Can it be concludedthat the incidence rate of this defect among prisonersdiffers from the presumed rate for the entire adultmale population?

Epistasis is a phenomenon in which one gene controls the expression of another. In one case, a dihybrid cross should yield a 9:3:4 ratio. You collect the following data on mice: black coat: 138 brown coat: 46 white coat: 60 Is there any reason to doubt the ratio of 9 black : 3 brown : 4 white?
ch 11 end. 6: In a bumper test, three types of autos were deliberately crashed into a barrier at 5 mph, and the resulting damage (in dollars) was estimated. Five test vehicles of each type were crashed, with the results shown below. Research question: Are the mean crash damages the same for these three vehicles?

In a small town in New York, we initiated a cohort study and followed 5,900 people for a mean follow-up of 2 years. At the end of the 2nd year, none of the participants was lost to follow-up. During this follow-up, we identified 600 cases of Covid-19. What was the cumulative incidence? O 10 cases O 10.1% O 50.8% O 10.1 per 1,000
The safety director of a large steel mill took samples at random from company records of minor work-related accidents and classified them according to the time the accident took place. Time Number of Accidents Time Number of Accidents 8 up to 9 a.m. 10 1 up to 2 p.m. 11 9 up to 10 a.m. 9 2 up to 3 p.m. 12 10 up to 11 a.m. 12 3 up to 4 p.m. 7 11 up to 12 p.m. 6 4 up to 5 p.m. 11 Click here for the Excel Data File Using the goodness-of-fit test and the 0.10 level of significance, determine whether the accidents are evenly distributed throughout the day. H0: The accidents are evenly distributed throughout the day.H1: The accidents are not evenly distributed throughout the day. a. State the decision rule, using the 0.10 significance level. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) b. Compute the value of chi-square. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) c. What is your decision regarding H0?
According to previous studies, 12% of the U.S. population is left-handed. Not knowing this, a high school student claims that the percentage of left-handed people in the U.S. is 14%. The student is going to take a random sample of 1650 people in the U.S. to try to gather evidence to support the claim. Let p be the proportion of left-handed people in the sample. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) ✔ (a) Find the mean of p. P. 0 (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P (P<0.14), which is the probability that there will be 14% or fewer left-handed people in the sample. Round your answer to four decimal places. X
A certain virus affects 0.7% of the population. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 87% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 14% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false positive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below based on a total sample of 100,000 people. Virus No Virus TotalPositive Test Negative Test Total 100,000a) Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. % b) Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that they test negative. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. %
According to a sociologist's research on U.S. residents' habits regarding religious faith, 38% of U.S. residents attend a religious service (any denomination) at least once per month. Suppose 310 U.S. residents are sampled. (Give results accurate to at least 4 decimal places.) a. Of the 310 people sampled, 132 respond that they attend a religious service at least once per month. What is the sample statistic p? p= 0.4258 b. Under the assumption that the sociologist's claim that 38% of U.S. residents attend a religious service at least once per month is valid, what is the probability that the survey in part (a) would result in a p that is at least as high as the one found? c. Under the assumption that the sociologist's claim that 38% of U.S. residents attend a religious service at least once per month is valid, what is the probability that the survey in part (a) would result in a p that is between 37% and 40%?

Is the difference between the mean annual salaries of statisticians in Region 1 and Region 2 more than $4000? To decide, you select a random sample of statisticians from each region. The results of each survey are shown to the right. At a = 0.10, what should you conclude? Region 1 X1 = $67,700 01 = $8875 Region 2 X2 = $61,000 02 = $9250 n1 = 48 n2 = 44 Click here to view page 1 of the standard normal distribution table. Click here to view page 2 of the standard normal distribution table. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Reject Ho. At the 10% significance level, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the difference between the mean annual salaries is more than $4000. O B. Fail to reject Ho. At the 10% significance level, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the difference between the mean annual salaries is more than $4000. OC. Reject Ho. At the 10% significance level, there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the difference between…
