When the chi-square test value is significant and there is a relationship between the variables, the strength of this relationship can be measured by using the contingency coefficient. The formula for the contingency coefficient is
where χ2 is the test value and n is the sum of frequencies of the cells. The contingency coefficient will always be less than 1. Compute the contingency coefficient for Exercises 8 and 20.

- Find the unknown value. 27. y varies jointly with x and the cube root of 2. If when x=2 and z=27,y=12, find y if x=5 and z=8.arrow_forwardTsunami Waves and BreakwatersThis is a continuation of Exercise 16. Breakwaters affect wave height by reducing energy. See Figure 5.30. If a tsunami wave of height H in a channel of width W encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to a width w, then the height h of the wave beyond the breakwater is given by h=HR0.5, where R is the width ratio R=w/W. a. Suppose a wave of height 8 feet in a channel of width 5000feet encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to 3000feet. What is the height of the wave beyond the breakwater? b. If a channel width is cut in half by a breakwater, what is the effect on wave height? 16. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?arrow_forwardA piece shown by the shaded portion is to be cut from a square plate 128 millimeters on a side. a. Compute the area of the piece to be cut. Round the answer to the nearest square millimeter. b. After cutting the piece, determine the percentage of the plate that will be wasted.arrow_forward
- work shown would be so appreciated!arrow_forwardA group of 100 people, who lived at varying distances (in kilometers) from an island nuclear power station, were asked if they thought a full evacuation of the area was required, when it went critical. The researches wanted to know if the opinion to evacuate or not depended on how far from the reactor people lived, Partial results of the questionnaire are shown in the table below. 0-3 km distance 3 -6 km distance 6 + km distance Totals Evacuation needed X X X 54 Evacuation not X XX needed Totals 33 32 XX XX You are doing a Chi Square test for independence. XX denotes row/column totals. Compute the expected number of people living 6+km away who would prefer NOT to evacuate. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardA 2009 study shpwed that handling money reduces the perception of pain. Two groups of participants were asked to participate in a manual dexterity study. Half of the participants were given a stack of blank pieces of paper to count and the other half were given money to count. After the counting task, the participants were asked to dip their hands in 122 degree Farenheit water and rate how uncomfortable it was . The following data shows ratings of pain similar to the results obtained in the study.

- During the winter months, the temperatures at the Starneses' Colorado cabin can stay well below freezing 32°F or 0°C) for weeks at a time. To prevent the pipes from freezing, Mrs. Starnes sets the thermostat at 50°F. The manufacturer claims that the thermostat allows variation in home temperature of o = 3°F Mrs. Starnes suspects that the manufacturer is overstating the consistency of the thermostat. What are the appropriate hypotheses for performing this significance test? Ho: o = 3, H, o 3, where o = the true standard deviation of the temperature in the cabin. Ho : o = 3, H, o> 3, where o = the true standard deviation of the temperature in the cabin. Ha: o 3, where o = the true standard deviation of the temperature in the cabin. Ho: o = 3; H,: o<3, where o = the true standard deviation of the temperature in the cabin He: o < 3,H,: o2 3, where o = the true standard deviation of the temperature in the cabin.

At the Univ. of Utah the times (in milliseconds) of 32 drivers using cell phones to depress the brake pedal were compared to the reaction times of 32 drivers who were listening to the radio. For the cell phone users the results were = 585.2, s = 89.6; for the radio listeners the results were = 533.7, s = 65.3. Determine a 95% confidence interval for μ-μ where μ is the mean reaction for drivers using cell phones.

- Step 2 (b) Compute R,". The adjusted multiple coefficient of determination is denoted by R. This adjusted value takes into consideration the number of independent variables used in the model. It is calculated as follows using the multiple coefficient of determination R2 where n is the number of observations and p is the number of independent variables. Note that it is possible for R to take on negative values. 2 a 2 1 R3 = 1 - (1 – R?) %3D n - p 1 The estimated regression equation given below was constructed from 30 observations, so n = ŷ = 17.6 + 3.8x, - 2.3x2 + 7.6x3 + 2.7x4 %3D The independent variables are denoted by x;.

In order to make sure that the environment does not affect your experiment, you divide 13 different petri dishes in half - one side is exposed to soap, the other is a control. You may use R but please show all the steps and codes involved. You measure the number of colonies that grow in each petri dish and come up with the following results: petri dish: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13soap: 10 5 7 10 19 11 13 17 19 8 11 10 16control: 20 17 11 17 26 18 21 25 24 17 17 17 21 Perform a complete hypothesis test to see if there is a difference in bacterial colonies between the soap and control dishes.arrow_forward
