Suppose you are interested in buying a new Lincoln Navigator or Town Car. You are standing on the sales lot looking at a model with different options. The list price is on the vehicle. As a salesperson approaches, you wonder what the dealer invoice price is for this model with its options. The following data are based on a random selection of these cars of different models and options. Let y be the dealer invoice (in thousands of dollars) for the given vehicle. x 32.4 32.9 36.1 44.0 47.8 y 30.4 31.0 32.0 42.1 42.2 (b) Use a 10% level of significance to test the claim that ρ > 0.

According to an article in a recently published medical journal, one-third of all sets of triplets consist of all females, one-fourth are all male sets, and the remaining sets are of mixed gender. A simple random sample of 78 sets of triplets born in the past 20 years is obtained from hospital records. The results are presented below. Gender make-up of triplets 1: All female 2: All male 3: Mixed gender Total 10 11 57 78 What would be the null hypothesis for a chi-square test for testing if the claim made in the medical journal is indeed true? Group of answer choices H0: p1 = 1/3, p2 = 1/4, and p3 = 5/12, where p1, p2, and p3 represent the proportions of all female, all male, and mixed gender triplets, respectively H0: p1 = p2 = p3 = 5/12, where p1, p2, and p3 represent the proportions of all female, all male, and mixed gender triplets, respectively H0: p1 = 1/4, p2 = 1/4, and p3 = 5/12, where p1, p2, and p3 represent the proportions of all…

1. Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte anna). A random sample of nine of these birds was caught, weighed, and released in a remote part of the Grand Canyon. The weights observed (in grams) were : 3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1 3.5 4.3 3.0 Let x be a random variable representing weights of Anna’s hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. Assuming x has a normal distribution with sample standard deviation 0.648. The population mean is 4.55 grams. (a) Calculate the Sample Mean of the above mentioned data values.(b) Do the data indicate that the mean weight of these birds in this part of the Grand Canyon is less than 4.55 grams? Establish the Null and Alternate Hypothesis.(c) Compute the Test statistics of the sample data using Student’s t-distribution table. Take α= 0.05(d) Find the P-value or range of P-values.(e) Conclude the test and interpret the result. Note: Solve the first three parts only.
