Thirty patients are enrolled into a clinical trial, with half going to a treatment group and the other half to a control group. Patients are tracked for one week to determine how long it takes for them to recover. The number of patients who recover within a week is recorded; some patients don't recover in this time period and remain sick. Suppose the treatment works for 20% of people in the general population, from which these patients were sampled. (Note: if the treatment “works" that means the patient recovers within one week.) What is the probability that at most 10 patients in the treatment group recover within a week?

Debra is a stats keeper for the local youth soccer league. At the end of the season, she calculated the average number of passes completed in a game for a random group of 35 players to be 16.5 passes, their pass accuracy to be 55%, and that 17 of the players were left-footed. In contrast, the average number of passes completed in a game for all the players in the league was 24.8 passes, with a pass accuracy of 67%, while 115 players were left-footed. (a) For Debra's group, identify the population and the sample. Population: (Choose one) Sample: (Choose one) (b) Choose whether each number described below is a parameter or a statistic for Debra's group. × Number The 115 left-footed players among all the players in the youth soccer league The 67% pass accuracy among all the players in the youth soccer league The average of 16.5 passes completed in a game by the random group of 35 players Parameter Statistic
During the current quarantine, a certain ISE statistics professor has been playing video games on an Xbox with his 11-year-old son. The dad never wins. However, often during a match the kid goes out of his way to not just beat his dad, but to humiliate him. After several games, the dad collected data on the number of times his son humilates him in a single match: in 43% of the matches, the son humilates the dad 4 times; 24% of the time, the dad is humilated 3 times; 18% of the time, he is humilated twice; 15% of the time he is humilated only once; and there are no matches in which the dad was not humilated by the son. Compute the variance of the number of times the dad is humilated by his son. (four decimal places)
In West Texas, water is extremely important. The following data represent pH levels in ground water for a random sample of 102 West Texas wells. A pH less than 7 is acidic and a pH above 7 is alkaline. Scanning the data, you can see that water in this region tends to be hard (alkaline). Too high a pH means the water is unusable or needs expensive treatment to make it usable. (A) Look at a stem-and-leaf plot of the data. Use five lines per stem so that leaf values 0 and 1 str on one line, 2 and 3 are on the next line, 4 and 5 are on the next, 6 and 7 are on the next, and 8 and 9 are on the last line of he stem. Are there any unusually high or low pH levels in this sample of wells? a. there are no large gaps on either side of the plot, indicating that there are no outliers. there are no unusually high or low ph levels in the sample. b. there is a large gap beside some outliers on the right side of the plot. there are unusually high pH levels in the sample. c. there is a large gap beside…

The following is based on information from The Wolf in the Southwest: The making of an Endangered Species by David E. Brown ( University of Arizona Press). Before 1918the proportion of female wolves in the general population of all southwestern wolves was about 50%. However, after 1918, southwestern cattle ranchers began a widespread effort to destroy wolves. In a recent sample of 34 wolves, there were only 10 females. One theory is that male wolves tend to return sooner than females to their old territories where their predecessors were exterminated. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of female wolves is now less than 50% in the region? a. Solve using a left tailed test of hypothesis and the critical value method. Use a 99% confidence level. b. Solve using a two tailed test of hypothesis and the p-value method. Use a 90% confidence level.
Tim is interested in studying whether Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Six people who were diagnosed with OCD participated in Tim's study, where he recorded the number of times they washed their hands per day for one month. They were then given a three week intensive CBT program before their hand-washing was monitored for another month. The average number of times per day each participant washed their hands over the two months of observation are as follows: Participant Month 1 Month 2 1 11 6 2 8 5 3 14 17 4 10 10 5 22 11 6 15 10 Compute the appropriate statistic to determine whether the program was effective and use this information to fill in the blanks: Q1. revealed that the number of times per day participants washed their hands following the CBT program was Q2. compared to the number of times per day participants washed their hands before the…

Dr. Slim developed a new drug he hypothesizes will cause people to lose weight. He randomly assigned participants into either the control group (no drug) or the experimental group (1 pill a day for two months). At the end of the 2ndmonth he weighed each participant and recorded the amount of weight loss (i.e., measured in pounds) since the beginning of the program. The results were as follows: control group experimental group 21 33 20 17 26 39 27 22 21 17 24 19 17 32 13 29 88 19 32 31 29 31 26 30 29 36 22 26 Analyze the data using an independent two sample t-test and interpret the results.
In elderly Americans, a new blood test is being developed to diagnose a particular disease. Suppose the sensitivity of this test is 80% and specificity is 70%. If it is known that 25% of them have the particular disease, then calculate the negative predictive value.
The stated goal of a chain of service stores is to provide a lube and oil change for anyone's automobile in 15 minutes. The manager at one store thinks that there is a growing disparity among his workers in the time it takes to lube and change the oil of an automobile. To monitor this, the manager has selected a sample of 20 days and has recorded the time it took five randomly selected employees to service an automobile. The data are found below. Complete parts a through d Click the icon to view the data. a. The manager noticed that the longest time it took to service a car was 25.73 minutes. Suppose the distribution of fimes to service a car was normal, with a mean of 15. Without analyzing the sample data, use your knowledge of a normal distribution to give the manager an estimate for the population standard deviation for the time it takes to service a car. The standard deviation is minutes. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) b. Use the data to construct an x- and an R-chart.…
QUESTION 2 Researchers conducted two surveys about teens are their use of social media. The first survey asked a random sample of 800 U.S. teens about their use of Instagram. A second survey asked the same questions to a random sample of 2253 Canadian teens. In these two studies, 73% of U.S. teens and 88% of Canadian teens said that they use Instagram. Use these results to answer the following questions about the proportion of U.S. and Canadian teens that use Instagram. (Round to the nearest whole hundredth as needed). What is the difference between the proportion of U.S. teens and the proportion of Canadian teens? The standard error for these two samples is and the upper limit is Using a 99% confidence level, the lower limit is
Many people struggle with gambling addictions. Gambling addicts can jeopardize their relationships with friends and family as they spiral into deeper and deeper debt. In order to quantify the degree of addiction a gambler suffers, a study surveyed a random sample of 100 gambling addicts. The amount of debt to be repaid is examined, and it is found that they have an average of 9 thousand dollars in gambling debts to repay. Suppose that all conditions are met and that the population standard deviation is o = 2.3 thousand dollars. In this problem, we will systematically investigate what happens to the length of the confidence interval as the sample size quadruples. (a) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of debt owed (in thousands of dollars) for all gambling addicts using the given sample size, n = 100. (Use a table or technology. Round your answers to three decimal places.) The 95% confidence interval based upon n = 100 is thousand dollars. (b) Calculate a 95%…
