Inspired by the example about how background music influences choice of entrée at a restaurant, a statistics student decided to investigate other ways to influence a person's behavior. Using 60 volunteers, she randomly assigned 20 volunteers to get a "red" survey, 20 volunteers to get a "blue" survey, and 20 volunteers to get a control survey. The first three questions on each survey were the same, but the fourth and fifth questions were different. For example, the fourth question on the "red" survey was "When you think of the color red, what do you think about?" On the blue survey, the question replaced red with blue. On the control survey, the last two questions were not about color. As a reward, each volunteer was allowed to choose a chocolate candy in a red wrapper or a chocolate candy in a blue wrapper. The table shows the result of the experiment. We want to test Ho: The distribution of candy choice is the same for subjects like these who receive the red survey, the blue survey,…
Absenteeism: Absenteeism can be a serious employment problem. It is estimated that absenteeism reduces potential output by more than 10%. Two economists launched a research project to learn more about the problem. They randomly selected 100 organizations to participate in a 1-year study. For each organization, they recorded the average number of days absent per employee and several variables thought to affect absenteeism. Management’s goal here is to analyze the data and determine which factors may be helpful in predicting absenteeism. Perform a two-sample t-test analysis to determine if mean absenteeism is different between organizations which have a good Union management and those that do not. I have provided the F-test for two variances below: Copy and paste the Two sample t-test output below AND provide a clear conclusion supported by key statistics in the output about how absenteeism is affected by the Union Management Relationship. (I just need to know how to perform the two…

In 2010, Dr. Bob decided to gather research on the type of disorders that present among his patients. His data collection resulted in the following breakdown of patients by disorder: 54.9% Schizophrenia; 21.1% Major Depression; 7.9% Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder; 4.5% Anxiety Disorder; 2.9% Personality Disorder; 8.8% Other. Information was collected from a random sample Of 300 patients in 2018 to determine whether or not the data has changed significantly. The sample data is given in the table below. At the a = 0.10 level of significance, test the claim that the disorder breakdown of patients at Dr. Bob's hospital has not changed significantly since 2010. Which would be correct hypotheses for this test? Ho: P1 = P2; H₁: P₁ P2 © Ha: t1 = Uz; Hư:1# 02 ⒸHO: The breakdown of patients by disorder has changed significantly since 2010 (i.e. the given distribution no longer fits); H₁: The breakdwon of patients by disorder has not changed significantly since 2010 (i.e. the given distribution…
Mandrake Falls High School is providing a weekend course in laboratory techniques to its laboratory students. Of the 200 students enrolled in lab classes at Mandrake, 75 have taken the weekend course. Mandrake is evaluating the course's effectiveness by having its lab instructors record harmful lab "incidents": accidents, misuse of lab equipment, etc. The contingency table below gives a summary of the data that have been gathered so far for Mandrake's 200 lab students. Each student is classified according to two variables: status regarding lab techniques course ("Took the course" or "Didn't take the course") and laboratory performance ("Involved in no incident", "Involved in exactly one incident", or "Involved in 2+ incidents"). In the cells of the table are the respective observed frequencies. Note that three of the cells also have blanks. Fill in these blanks with the frequencies expected if the two variables, status regarding lab techniques course and laboratory performance, are…
Over a nine-month period, OutdoorGearLab tested hardshell jackets designed for ice climbing, mountaineering, and backpacking. Based on the breathability, durability, versatility, features, mobility, and weight of each jacket, an overall rating ranging from 0 (lowest) to 15 (highest) was assigned to each jacket tested. The following data show the results for 10 top-of-the line jackets (OutdoorGearLab website, February 27, 2013). Answer questions 10-14. Table 2. 5 12 6 8 5 6 7 5 12 4 Question 10 1 Refer to Table 2.

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…
A statistics student at Pleasantville High School (PHS) looked at seat belt use by drivers. Customers were observed driving into a local convenience store. After the drivers left their cars, the student asked each driver several questions about seat belt use. In all, 80% of the drivers said that they always use seat belts. However, the student observed that only 61.5% of these same drivers were actually wearing a seat belt when they pulled into the store parking lot. Which of the following best explains the difference in the two percentages? (A) The difference is due to sampling variability. We shouldn't expect the results of a sample to match the truth about the population every time. (B) The difference is due to response bias. Drivers who don't use seat belts are likely to lie and say they do use seat belts. (C) The difference is due to undercoverage bias. The study included only customers of the convenience store and did not include all drivers in the population. (D) The difference…
In a study of how depression may affect one's ability to survive a heart attack, the researchers reported the ages of the two groups they examined. The mean age of 2397 patients without cardiac disease was 69.8 years, while for the 450 patients with cardiac disease, the mean age was 74.0, respectively. Furthermore, 32% of the diseased group were smokers, compared with only 23.7% of those free of heart disease. (1) Determine a 96% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of smokers in the two groups. (ii) Indicate whether the two groups in the study were different. State the assumptions in order to proceed with the confident interval construction. (ii)
Your statistics instructor often ponders the relationship between commute time and job satisfaction while driving back and forth to campus. Your instructor hypothesizes that people with a shorter commute time will have higher degrees of job satisfaction. Randomly sampling 600 Valley commuters, the instructor finds the following data listed in frequencies: Table 2: Commuters by Length of Commute and Job Satisfaction Job Satisfaction Number Who Commute 20 Minutes or Less Number Who Commute 21 to 40 Minutes Number Who Commute 41 Minutes or More Total Number for Each Level of Job Satisfaction Dissatisfied 10 60 140 210 Neutral 45 59 51 155 Satisfied 145 60 30 235 Total Number for Each Commute Time Range 200 179 221 1.

Government economic studies reveal that young adults, not middle-aged or older adults, are having the most difficult time in today’s economy. Although the nation’s labor market shows a decline in the unemployment rate, the percentage of young adults, ages 18 to 24, currently employed (54 percent) is at the lowest level since the government data collection began in 1948. If you were working for a national survey organization doing a general public survey of young adults and older adults, what topics and questions would you design into your survey to elaborate on this finding?
In the NFL, Coaches can throw "challenge" flags if they believe officials have made an incorrect call on the field. Then, based upon further analysis, the call is either overturned (because the referees were incorrect) or upheld (referees were correct). In the first eight weeks of last NFL season, there were 316 challenges made, with 154 of those calls overturned. The NFL team owners used this data to begin a lawsuit that claimed referees were wrong more than 50% of the time in challenged situations. They want to perform statistical analysis before filing that lawsuit. For the following question, select the answer which correctly responds. 0.50
