Chapter 18, Problem 1E

SECTION 18.1

1. Which method? Which of the following scenarios should be analyzed as paired data?

  1. a) Students take an MCAT prep course. Their before and after scores are compared.
  2. b) 20 male and 20 female students in class take a midterm. We compare their scores.
  3. c) A group of college freshmen are asked about the quality of the university cafeteria. A year later, the same students are asked about the cafeteria again. Do student’s opinions change during their time at school?

a.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Identify the situation that has paired data.

Answer to Problem 1E

The data is analyzed as paired.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The data represents the scores of the students in MCAT.

Justification:

The scores of the students were paired because the scores of the students before and after were dependent on the MCAT prep course.

b.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Identify the situation that has paired data.

Answer to Problem 1E

The data is not paired.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The data represents the scores of the males and females students.

Justification:

The scores of the male and female studentswere not pairedbecause the scores of the male is different and independent from the scores of female.

c.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Identify the situation that has paired data.

Answer to Problem 1E

The data is analyzed as paired.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The data represents on selecting the group of freshmen to know the quality of the cafeteria at the beginning and a year later.

Justification:

The data taken from the students were paired because the survey was taken twice from the students. The response of the students was integrated.

In order to find probability, you can use this formula in Microsoft Excel: The best way to understand and solve these problems is by first drawing a bell curve and marking key points such as x, the mean, and the areas of interest. Once marked on the bell curve, figure out what calculations are needed to find the area of interest. =NORM.DIST(x, Mean, Standard Dev., TRUE). When the question mentions “greater than” you may have to subtract your answer from 1. When the question mentions “between (two values)”, you need to do separate calculation for both values and then subtract their results to get the answer. 1.  Compute the probability of a value between 44.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 44 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps. In the first step, use the above formula and x = 44, calculate probability value. In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55. In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the…
If a uniform distribution is defined over the interval from 6 to 10, then answer the followings: What is the mean of this uniform distribution? Show that the probability of any value between 6 and 10 is equal to 1.0 Find the probability of a value more than 7. Find the probability of a value between 7 and 9.   The closing price of Schnur Sporting Goods Inc. common stock is uniformly distributed between $20 and $30 per share. What is the probability that the stock price will be: More than $27? Less than or equal to $24?   The April rainfall in Flagstaff, Arizona, follows a uniform distribution between 0.5 and 3.00 inches. What is the mean amount of rainfall for the month? What is the probability of less than an inch of rain for the month? What is the probability of exactly 1.00 inch of rain? What is the probability of more than 1.50 inches of rain for the month? The best way to solve this problem is begin by creating a chart. Clearly mark the range, identifying the lower and upper…
