Is there any reason to suspect that one unit is superior to the other? You can use statistical
software to find out if there are any significant differences between 2 units using a = 1%,
suppose the data is not normally distributed.
Is the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the south lower than the proportion of wildfires caused by humans in the west? 360 of the 501 randomly selected wildfires looked at in the south were caused by humans while 435 of the 588 randomly selected wildfires looked at the west were caused by humans. What can be concluded at the = 0.10 level of significance?

Body Mass Index is a measure of body shape. Duran et al. (2013) investigated BMI in
Texas youth. In part of the study, they took BMI measurements on samples of 14
year old boys and girls in Texas (94 boys and 98 girls). Suppose they were interested
in investigating a possible difference in body mass index between boys and girls at
that age. Assume for the purposes of this question that the samples can be thought
of as independent simple random samples from 14 year old Texans, and that all other
assumptions of the Welch t procedure are met.

data: BMI by gender

- What is an experiment?arrow_forwardA father is concerned that his teenage son is watching too much television each day, since his son watches an average of 2 hours per day His son says that his TV habits are no different than those of his friends. Since this father has taken a stats class, he knows that can actually test to see whether or not his son is watching more TV than his peers The father collects a random sample of watching times from boys at his son's high school and gets the following data: 1.9, 2.3, 2.2, 1.9, 1.6, 2.6, 1.4, 2.0, 2.0, 2.2 Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of hours teenagers at that school watch TV. a. Confidence Interval b. Conclusionarrow_forwardA new runner has decided to purchase a new pair of running shoes. He has narrowed his choices to two brands, each of which would be appropriate for his use. His concern is whether there is a significant difference in the average wear between the two brands of shoes. He enlisted a random sample of 6 veteran runners to test the shoes. Each runner wore each brand of shoe until it wore out. What method of analysis is more appropriate to use for this problem?

- The correlation coefficient r is a sample statistic. What does it tell us about the value of the population correlation coefficient ρ (Greek letter rho)? You do not know how to build the formal structure of hypothesis tests of ρ yet. However, there is a quick way to determine if the sample evidence based on ρ is strong enough to conclude that there is some population correlation between the variables. In other words, we can use the value of r to determine if ρ ≠ 0. We do this by comparing the value |r| to an entry in the correlation table. The value of α in the table gives us the probability of concluding that ρ ≠ 0 when, in fact, ρ = 0 and there is no population correlation. We have two choices for α: α = 0.05 or α = 0.01. (a) Look at the data below regarding the variables x = age of a Shetland pony and y = weight of that pony. Is the value of |r| large enough to conclude that weight and age of Shetland ponies are correlated? Use α = 0.05.

Mark obtained a z-statistic of 0. Based on this information, which of the following is always true. The sample proportions for male and females will be the same as the hypothesized proportions for male and female students at this university. The sample proportions for both male and female students at this university will be 0. All male and female students in the sample will feel the same way about supporting the increase in student fees.

You do not know how to build the formal structure of hypothesis tests of p yet. However, there is a quick way to determine if the sample evidence based on p is strong enough to conclude that there is some population correlation between the variables. In other words, we can use the value of r to determine if p + 0. We do this by comparing the value Ir| to an entry in the correlation table. The value of a in the table gives us the probability of concluding that p + 0 when, in fact, p = 0 and there is no population correlation. We have two choices for a: a = 0.05 or a = 0.01.

- How would you figure this out? I had gotten the first two wrong.arrow_forwardA researcher randomly assigns college freshmen to either of two experimental conditions. Because both groups consist of college freshmen, someone claims that it is appropriate to use a t test for the two related samples. Comments?arrow_forwardAn airport official wants to prove that the proportion of delayed flights for Airline A (denoted as p1) is less than the proportion of delayed flights for Airline B (denoted as p2). Random samples for both airlines after a storm showed that 51 out of 200 flights for Airline A were delayed, while 60 out of 200 of Airline B's flights were delayed. The test statistic for this problem is -1.00. The p-value for the test statistic for this problem is: p = 0.0228 p = 0.0668 p = 0.3413 p = 0.1587arrow_forward
