Chapter 11.5, Problem 64E
Use the information given in the previous exercise to construct a 95 % bootstrap confidence
11.63 The Sheboygan (Wisconsin) Fire Department received a report on the potential effects of reductions in the number of firefighters it employs (“Study of Fire Department Causes Controversy,” USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin, December 22, 2016).
In one section of the report, the average working heart rate percentage (the percentage value of the observed maximum heart rate during firefighting drills divided by an age-adjusted maximum heart rate for each firefighter) was reported for the driver of the first-arriving fire engine when only two firefighters (including the driver) were present, and for the driver of the first-arriving fire engine when more than two firefighters (up to five) were present.
The average working heart rate percentages were based on an earlier study, which included data from a sample of six drills using only two firefighters and from a sample of 18 drills using more than two firefighters. For purposes of this exercise, assume that these samples are representative of all drills with two firefighters and all drills with more than two firefighters.
The following data values are consistent with summary statistics given in the paper. Do these data support the claim that the mean average working heart rate percentage for the driver in a two-firefighter team is greater than the mean average working heart rate percentage for the driver in teams containing from three to five firefighters? Use a 0.05 significance level to carry out a randomization test of the given claim. You can make use of the Shiny apps in the collection at statistics.cengage.com/PSO6e/Apps.html.

A major company in the Montreal area, offering a range of engineering services from project preparation to construction execution, and industrial project management, wants to ensure that the individuals who are responsible for project cost estimation and bid preparation demonstrate a certain uniformity in their estimates. The head of civil engineering and municipal services decided to structure an experimental plan to detect if there could be significant differences in project evaluation.
Seven projects were selected, each of which had to be evaluated by each of the two estimators, with the order of the projects submitted being random. The obtained estimates are presented in the table below.
a) Complete the table above by calculating: i. The differences (A-B) ii. The sum of the differences iii. The mean of the differences iv. The standard deviation of the differences
b) What is the value of the t-statistic?
c) What is the critical t-value for this test at a significance level of 1%?…

Radelet and G. Pierce reported a logistic prediction equation for the death penalty verdicts in North Carolina. Let Y denote whether a subject convicted of murder received the death penalty (1=yes), for the defendant's race h (h1, black; h = 2, white), victim's race i (i = 1, black; i = 2, white), and number of additional factors j (j = 0, 1, 2).
