Chapter 17, Problem 18P
18. A recent study indicate that people tend to select video game avatars with characteristics similar to those of their creators (Be1is1e & Bodur, 2010). Participant who had created avatar for a virtual community game completed a questionnaire about their personalities. An independent group of viewers examined the avatars and recorded their impressions of the avatars. One personal
ity characteristic considered was intro,verted/extroverted. The following frequency distribution of personalities for participants and the avatars they created.
| Participant personality | |||
| lntroverted | Extroverted | ||
| Introverted | 22 | 23 | 45 |
| Avatar | |||
| Extroverted | 16 | 39 | 55 |
| Avatar | |||
| 38 | 62 |
a.. Is there a significant relationship between the per
sonalities of the participants and the personalitiesof their avatars? Test with a = .05 .
b. Compute the phi-coefficient to measure the size of the effect.

Suppose a random sample of 459 married couples found that 307 had two or more personality preferences in common. In another random sample of 471 married couples, it was found that only 31 had no preferences in common. Let p1 be the population proportion of all married couples who have two or more personality preferences in common. Let p2 be the population proportion of all married couples who have no personality preferences in common. Find a95% confidence interval for . Round your answer to three decimal places.
A history teacher interviewed a random sample of 80 students about their preferences in learning activities outside of school and whether they are considering watching a historical movie at the cinema. 69 answered that they would like to go to the cinema. Let p represent the proportion of students who want to watch a historical movie. Determine the maximal margin of error. Use α = 0.05. Round your answer to three decimal places.

The CLT provides an approximate sampling distribution for the arithmetic average Ỹ of a random sample Y₁, . . ., Yn f(y). The parameters of the approximate sampling distribution depend on the mean and variance of the underlying random variables (i.e., the population mean and variance). The approximation can be written to emphasize this, using the expec- tation and variance of one of the random variables in the sample instead of the parameters μ, 02: YNEY, · (1 (EY,, varyi n For the following population distributions f, write the approximate distribution of the sample mean.

Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points) Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points) Starting salary % Raise Raise Salary after raise 75000 10% 7500 82500 82500 4% 3300…arrow_forwardI need help with this problem and an explanation of the solution for the image described below.
