Textbook Question

Chapter 2, Problem 51DA

Refer to the North Valley Real Estate data that reports information on homes sold during the last year. For the variable price, select an appropriate class interval and organize the selling prices into a frequency distribution. Write a brief report summarizing your findings. Be sure to answer the following questions in your report.

a. Around what values of price do the data tend to cluster?
b. Based on the frequency distribution, what is the typical selling price in the first class? What is the typical selling price in the last class?
c. Draw a cumulative relative frequency distribution. Using this distribution, fifty percent of the homes sold for what price or less? Estimate the lower price of the top ten percent of homes sold. About what percent of the homes sold for less than $300,000?
d. Refer to the variable bedrooms. Draw a bar chart showing the number of homes sold with 2, 3, 4 or more bedrooms. Write a description of the distribution.

Suppose we wish to test the hypothesis that women with a sister’s history of breast cancer are at higher risk of developing breast cancer themselves. Suppose we assume that the prevalence rate of breast cancer is 3% among 60- to 64-year-old U.S. women, whereas it is 5% among women with a sister history. We propose to interview 400 women 40 to 64 years of age with a sister history of the disease. What is the power of such a study assuming that the level of significance is 10%? I only need help writing the null and alternative hypotheses.

4.96 The breaking strengths for 1-foot-square samples of a particular synthetic fabric are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 2,250 pounds per square inch (psi) and a standard deviation of 10.2 psi. Find the probability of selecting a 1-foot-square sample of material at random that on testing would have a breaking strength in excess of 2,265 psi.4.97 Refer to Exercise 4.96. Suppose that a new synthetic fabric has been developed that may have a different mean breaking strength. A random sample of 15 1-foot sections is obtained, and each section is tested for breaking strength. If we assume that the population standard deviation for the new fabric is identical to that for the old fabric, describe the sampling distribution forybased on random samples of 15 1-foot sections of new fabric
