A study used 1259 patients who had suffered a stroke. The study randomly assigned each subject to an aspirin treatment or a placebo treatment. During a 3-year follow-up period, in Sample 1, 634 people received placebo treatments and 25 people died from heart attack. In sample 2, 625 people received aspirin treatment and 18 died from heart attack. Let pl denote the population proportion of death from heart attack for those with no treatment and p2 denote the population proportion of death from heart attack for those with aspirin treatment. (c) Which of SEO and SE1 is used for calculating a confidence interval for comparing two population proportions? Which is used for calculating the test statistic in a hypothesis test? (d) Construct the 95% confidence interval for pi – p2. Interpret.

A state fisheries commission wants to estimate the number of bass caught in a given lake during a season in order to restock the lake with the appropriate number of young fish. The commission could get a fairly accurate assessment of the seasonal catch by extensive “netting sweeps" of the lake before and after a season, but this technique is much too expensive to be done routinely. Therefore, the commission samples a number of lakes and record the seasonal catch (thousands of bass per square mile of lake area) and size of lake (square miles).

In order to compare the real estate markets in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, a realtor selected a random sample of 150 homes in the Pittsburgh area and 100 homes in the Philadelphia area. Shown below are dotplots showing the distribution of home price for the homes in these two cities.
Researchers notice that access to food may be related to later success in secondary education. Researchers formulate a hypothesis that says: teenagers are more likely to graduate high school in cities with more food banks per capita compared to cities that have fewer food banks per capita. They run a pilot study with n = 4 neighborhood blocks, sampled randomly across cities in the U.S. Here, x = number of food banks in the target city and y = number of high school graduates in a 4x4 block radius. The data are presented in the table below. What is the correlation between access to food banks (x) and high school graduation (y)? a) Calculate the sum of products b) Calculate Pearson’s r
Students at a major university believe they can save money buying textbooks online rather than at the local bookstores. In order to test this theory, they randomly sampled 25 textbooks on the shelves of the local bookstores. The students then found the "best" available price for the same textbooks via online retailers. The prices for the textbooks are listed in the following table. Based on the data, is it less expensive for the students to purchase textbooks from the online retailers than from local bookstores? Use a = 0.01. Let prices at local bookstores represent Population 1 and prices at online retailers represent Population 2.

A lawn mower company will produce 1,500 lawn mowers by 2020. In an effort to determine how much maintenance-free consumers will buy when they buy lawn mowers, the company decided to conduct a study over the past 1 year of these mowers. First, a random sample was taken by contacting 200 grass mowers. The company owner provides an 800 number and is asked to contact the company when the first repair is needed for the lawn mower. Owners who no longer use lawn mowers to cut their grass are either disqualified or not sampled. After 1 year, it turned out that 187 owners had reported for the first repair. However, the other 74 disqualified themselves. The average number per year until the first improvement was 5.3 times for samples deemed feasible. It is believed that the standard deviation is 1.28 per year. If the company wants to advertise the lawnmower and with a confidence level of 95%, what is the estimated annual mean value of repair-free lawn mower for this lawn mower? What is the…

SWIMMER’S FLEXIBILITY STUDY Swimming requires complete body movement as defined in sports science. A swimmer’s flexibility helps in his/her movement in water, thus making him/her a faster swimmer. In a study conducted to determine if there is an improvement in swim speed after doing flexibility exercise, 15 swimmers of the same characteristics were randomly selected. They were asked to do a 25-m freestyle and their swim speed (in seconds) were recorded. After this, a flexibility exercise was done. All the swimmers were then asked to do another 25-m freestyle and their swim speed (in seconds) were also recorded. The data collected are given below and can also be found in the worksheet “swim_speed”of excel file “exer3_data.xlsx”. R outputs can be found in the file “exer3_outputs.pdf”.(Use before – after in your computations Swimmer 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Before 16.87 19.42 20.04 22.82 24.24 17.76 23.91 17.17 After 15.82 18.47 20.43 21.76 23.88 18.12 20.96 16.03 Swimmer 9 10 11 12…

Hans plays a game when he exercises. He chooses a marble from a bag of three marbles: one is blue, one is red, and one is green. Based on the marble he chooses, he completes a certain number of push-ups, as shown below. Marble Number of push-ups blue red green 10 Consider choosing a marble like sampling from a population. (The population mean of the number of push-ups is u=9.00 and the population standard deyiation is o =0.82.) (a) Suppose a sample of size 2 is randomly selected from the population, with replacement, as follows. One marble is randomly chosen, the number of push- ups is completed, and the marble is put back into the bag. Then for a second time a marble is randomly chosen and the number of push-ups is completed. There are 9 possible samples. The numbers of push-ups for several of the possible samples have been listed in the table below. Enter the numbers of push-ups for the remaining possible samples. When you are done, select "Compute". In the "Sample mean, x" column,…
