Several years ago, two companies merged. One of the concerns after the merger was the increasing burden of retirement expenditures. An effort was made to encourage employees to participate in the 401(k) accounts. Nationwide, 62% of eligible workers participated in these accounts. The accompanying data table contains responses of 30 employees of the company when asked if they were currently participating in a 401(k) account. Complete parts a through d. Click the icon to view the data table. a. Determine the sample proportion of company workers who participate in 401(k) accounts. The sample proportion is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. Determine the sampling error if in reality the company workers have the same proportion of participants in 401(k) accounts as does the rest of the nation. The error is. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) c. Determine the probability that a sample proportion at least as large as that obtained in the sample would be obtained if the…
Suppose 20% of cars are sportscars and that 30% of sportscars are red, and that 25% of all cars are red. What proportion of non-sportscars are red?
On fan sites, there were discussions about whether the data show a home-field advantage: does the host team tend to perform better than the visiting teams? In order to answer this question, you dedicate some time to watching all 8 of the Marbula one races. For each race, you record TRUE if the host team finishes in the top 2, and FALSE otherwise. Remember, there are 16 teams competing in each race. In 2 of the 8 races, the host team finished in the top 2. You conduct a simulation of this experiment: 1000 sets of 8 races using the null proportion = a. (You need to determine the correct value of a). Of the 1000 simulated experiments shown below, you find that in b simulations, there are at least 2 races where the host team finished in the top 2. (You determine the value of b) Simulation results Sim mean: 0.98 n= 402 400- Sim sd: 0.93 n = 350 300 - 200- n= 177 100- n= 59 n- 12 # Races where host team finished in the top 2 Which of the following statements are correct? # Simulations
To inspect manufacturing processes, companies typically examine samples of parts for deficiencies. One company that manufactures ballpoint pens selected samples of ,000 pens on each of 17 days. The company recorded, for each sample of 1,000, the number of defective pens in the sample. Here are their data. 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18 Send data to calculator Send data to Excel Frequency 8. 6+ 2+ 2 4 12 16 20 Number of defective pens (out of 1000) O Mean (a) For these data, which measures of OMedian central tendency take more than one value?

You are an education researcher interested in studying if race or ethnicity affects the severity of punishment children receive. Through open records, you are able to collect from several high schools the length of suspensions given to kids for fighting along with the race/ethnicity of the child. The state of Texas divides school children into one of 7 race/ethnicity groups: African American, American Indian, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, White, or Multiracial. You want to compare the average length of suspension among these 7 groups. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference in the severity of punishment among the different groups? one-sample t-test related samples t-test independent samples t-test ANOVA
Suppose the data is: 0.848, 0.413, 1.058, 0.858, 0.350, 1.582, 0.372, 0.566, 1.097, 0.939, 0.761, 0.864, 0.712, 0.264, 0.138, 1.124, 0.383, 1.194, 2.072, 0.690. Use the sign test and the Wilcoxon signed rank test to test the null hypothesis H0: median = 1 versus the alternative H1: median < 1.

A city official would like to know if there is public support for increasing funding for arts programs. To collect data, the city official stands outside a concert hall after a show and surveys every 25th person to exit and asks their opinion about raising funds for the arts. Which of the following describes the population in this scenario? all residents of the city the members of the city council all city residents who support the arts the people surveyed by the city official
The Student Union President conducted a survey to estimate the proportion of first year students who participated in the social activities organized by the Student Union. Which of the following surveying options does NOT affect the presidents ability to generalize the survey to all first year students. The president put the survey on the Student Union webpage a Monday and collected the responses at the end of the week. All of the other options present a problem for generalizing the results. The president polled all students coming out of the Student Union on a given Monday. The freshmen class consists of 3000 students. A random sample of only 300 were sent a survey. Only 150 responded. The survey was sent only to first year students enrolled in statistics courses because all students need to satisfy a statistics general education requirement.
Dr. A. Ventura is interested in determining what kinds and how many pets people own in Bakersfield. He stands outside Petco and asks people what kind of pet they own.
