Chapter 1, Problem 22SE
A survey conducted by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC showed that one in five U.S. homeowners have either moved from their home or would like to move because their neighborhood or community isn’t ideal for their lifestyle (Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate website, September 26,2013). The top lifestyle priorities of respondents when searching for their next home include ease of commuting by car, access to health and safety services, family-friendly neighborhood, availability of retail stores, access to cultural activities, public transportation access, and nightlife and restaurant access. Suppose a real estate agency in Denver. Colorado, hired you to conduct a similar study to determine the top lifestyle priorities for clients that currently have a home listed for sale with the agency or have hired the agency to help them locate a new home.

Most engaged couples expect or at least hope that they will have high levels of marital satisfaction. However, because 54% of first marriages end in divorce, social scientists have begun investigating influences on marital satisfaction. (Data Source: National Center for Health Statistics.)
A counseling psychologist sets out to look at the role of having children in relationship longevity. She decides to measure marital satisfaction in a group of couples with children and a group of childless couples. She chooses the Marital Satisfaction Inventory, because it refers to "partner" and "relationship" rather than "spouse" and "marriage," which makes it useful for research with both traditional and nontraditional couples.
Higher scores on the Marital Satisfaction Inventory indicate greater satisfaction. Assume that these scores are normally distributed.
A sample of 39 couples with children scored an average of 51.1 with a sample standard deviation of 9.2 on the Marital Satisfaction…

- Most engaged couples expect or at least hope that they will have high levels of marital satisfaction. However, because 54% of first marriages end in divorce, social scientists have begun investigating influences on marital satisfaction. Suppose a clinical psychologist sets out to look at the role of economic hardship in relationship longevity.

Higher scores on the Marital Satisfaction Inventory indicate greater satisfaction. There is one score per couple. Assume that these scores are normally distributed and that the variances of the scores are the same among couples living above the poverty level as among couples…arrow_forwardYouTube is a popular destination on the internet; let's look at how YouTube usage is distributed among age groups.
