A researcher studying allergies to animals is interested in performing a study at the local elementary school. At Pineview Elementary, there are 4 1st
grade classrooms. The researcher
picks 2 of the 4 classrooms and asks every 1st grader in the 2 classrooms what type of animal they own (cat, dog, rabbit, etc.). He also asks how often they experience allergies.
What type of study is this?
Joe likes to go to an old arcade and play 12 games of Skeeball every day. On average, he wins a prize on 55% of the games he plays. Today, however, he won only 4 of the 12 games he played.This made Joe think that there must be something wrong with how he is throwing the ball today. However, a friend tells him, "You might be throwing the same way you usually do. People will sometimes have a group of bad games just because of random variation, not because of psychology, or because they are doing anything differently, or any other reason. For someone with your statistics, such random bad days wouldn't even be very rare."Let's see what Joe's friend means. Suppose that Joe's skill level really hasn't changed, so he still has a 55% chance of winning each game he plays, like before. If he plays 12 games a day, on what percentage of days will he win 4 games or fewer? Assume that each game is independent of the others.

- Answer the following questions. 3. When given two separate events, how do we know whether to apply the Addition Principle or the Multiplication Principle when calculating possible outcomes? What conjunctions may help to determine which operations to use?arrow_forwardThe principal of Paul Revere High School bragged that his 2016 graduating class of 1500 students achieved impressive scores on their ACT exams. He announced that an “astounding” 36% of the class got a score of 29 or higher, 54% got a score of 21 to 28, and only 10% less than 21. You want to test whether these ACT results are really that astounding. You visit the ACT website to see that the national results are 34% getting a score over 28, 58% getting 21 to 28, and 8% less than 21. Test whether or not the principal is correct to brag that his proportions were more impressive than the national performance. Use an alpha of .05. Comparing the critical value of chi-square to the calculated chi-square, what is the proper conclusion to the test?arrow_forwardThe principal of Paul Revere High School bragged that his 2016 graduating class of 1500 students achieved impressive scores on their ACT exams.

I am mostly confused about how to determine the degree of freedom to get the critical value. Like I know the formula is d-C, and C is the number of categories in the word problem, but is there 3? Or am I just totally wrong?arrow_forward
- A national television channel posted the result of their web poll: 63 percent of Americans favor changing from gasoline to hydrogen fuel for cars". The survey question had been available for three days and 50000 viewers responded. Should we conclude that hydrogen-pwered cars are favored by a majority of Americans?

One is to go via the San Bernardino Freeway, and the other is to go via the Pomona Freeway. Recently, a lane was added to the San Bernardino Freeway. So, Charmaine wants to determine if it is now faster to take the San Bernardino Freeway than the Pomona Freeway. She selected a random sample of 11 of her trips via the San Bernardino Freeway and a random sample of 11 of her trips via the Pomona Freeway. The two samples were chosen separately, so that the selection of the trips via the San Bernardino Freeway did not affect the selection of the trips via the Pomona Freeway. Charmaine recorded the travel times (in minutes) for the trips in each of the two samples. The following table gives the data, sample means, and sample standard deviations.

To attempt to answer this question, researchers asked a sample of 50 adults whether or not they have hypertension and how many pets they have (with options "none," "only one," or "more than one"). Of the 40 people without hypertension, 45% had only one pet. The same number of people with only one pet and more than one pet had hypertension. And of the 8 people with more than one pet, 75% did not have hypertension. a. Create a contingency table to display this data. b. What proportion the adults with at least one pet had hypertension? c.

Recently, a lane was added to the San Bernardino Freeway. So, Mary wants to determine if it is now faster to take the San Bernardino Freeway than the Pomona Freeway.

The president of the teachers' union believes that the average salary is less than $60 per day. So, she sample eight school districts to help test her claim. The daily salaries she found for the districts were $60 $56 $60 $55 $70 $55 $60 and, $55 f.
