Explanation Given info: A study was conducted between texting while driving and irregular seat belt usage. The results are given below: Irregular Seat Belt Usage Yes No Texting While Driving 1,737 2,048 No Texting While Driving 1,945 2,775 Calculation: The claim is to test whether texting while driving is independent of irregular seat belt usage. If the claim is false, then there is a dependency between texting while driving and irregular seat belt usage. The hypotheses are given below: Null hypothesis: H 0 : Texting while driving is independent of irregular seat belt usage. Alternative hypothesis: H 1 : Texting while driving is dependent of irregular seat belt usage. The test statistic is calculated by using the below formula. χ 2 = ∑ ( O − E ) 2 E Where, O represents the observed frequency and E represents the expected frequency Row total, column total and grand total are given as follows: Irregular Seat Belt Usage Yes No Row total Texting While Driving 1,737 2,048 3,785 No Texting While Driving 1,945 2,775 4,720 Column total 3,682 4,823 8,505 Expected frequency is calculated by using the formula E = ( Row total ) ( Column total ) ( Grand total ) Where, row total represents the sum of the frequencies along each row, the column total represents the sum of the frequencies along each column and the grand total represents the sum of all frequencies. Expected frequency for the cell E 11 E 11 = ( Row total ) ( Column total ) ( Grand total ) = ( 3 , 785 ) ( 3 , 682 ) ( 1 , 737 + 2 , 048 + 1 , 945 + 2 , 775 ) = 13 , 936 , 370 8 , 505 = 1 , 638.6 Expected frequency for the cell E 12 E 12 = ( Row total ) ( Column total ) ( Grand total ) = ( 3 , 785 ) ( 4 , 823 ) ( 1 , 737 + 2 , 048 + 1 , 945 + 2 , 775 ) = 18 , 255 , 055 8 , 505 = 2 , 146.4 Expected frequency for the cell E 21 E 21 = ( Row total ) ( Column total ) ( Grand total ) = ( 4 , 720 ) ( 3 , 682 ) ( 1 , 737 + 2 , 048 + 1 , 945 + 2 , 775 ) = 17 , 379 , 040 8 , 505 = 2 , 043

The average miles per gallon for a sample of 40 cars of model SX last year was 32.1, with a population standard deviation of 3.8. A sample of 40 cars from this year’s model SX has an average of 35.2 mpg, with a population standard deviation of 5.4. Find a 99 percent confidence interval for the difference in average mpg for this car brand (this year’s model minus last year’s).Find a 99 percent confidence interval for the difference in average mpg for last year’s model minus this year’s. What does the negative difference mean?

A special interest group reports a tiny margin of error (plus or minus 0.04 percent) for its online survey based on 50,000 responses. Is the margin of error legitimate? (Assume that the group’s math is correct.)

Suppose that 73 percent of a sample of 1,000 U.S. college students drive a used car as opposed to a new car or no car at all. Find an 80 percent confidence interval for the percentage of all U.S. college students who drive a used car.What sample size would cut this margin of error in half?
