Chapter 22, Problem 34E
NYPD The table below shows the rank attained by male and female officers in the New York City Police Department (NYPD). Do these data indicate that men and women are equitably represented at all levels of the department?
- a) What’s the
probability that a person selected at random from the NYPD is a female? - b) What’s the probability that a person selected at random from the NYPD is a detective?
- c) Assuming no bias in promotions, how many female detectives would you expect the NYPD to have?
- d) To see if there is evidence of differences in ranks attained by males and females, will you test goodness-of-fit, homogeneity, or independence?
- e) State the hypotheses.
- f) Check the conditions.
- g) How many degrees of freedom are there?
- h) The chi-square value for the table is 290.1 and the P-value is less than 0.0001. State your conclusion about the hypotheses.

I your answer is affirmative, you need to explain how the number of bathroom influences the house price, using a post hoc procedure. (Please treat number of bathrooms as a categorical variable in this analysis)Base on the same given data, conduct an analysis for the variable sellprice to see if sale price is influenced by living area. Summarize your finding including all regular steps (learned in this module) for your method. Also, will you conclude that larger house corresponding to higher price (justify)?Each question need to include a spss or sas output.

- An environmental research team is studying the daily rainfall (in millimeters) in a region over 100 days. The data is grouped into the following histogram bins: Rainfall Range (mm) Frequency 0-9.9 15 10 19.9 25 20-29.9 30 30-39.9 20 ||40-49.9 10 a) If a random day is selected, what is the probability that the rainfall was at least 20 mm but less than 40 mm? b) Estimate the mean daily rainfall, assuming the rainfall in each bin is uniformly distributed and the midpoint of each bin represents the average rainfall for that range. c) Construct the cumulative frequency distribution and determine the rainfall level below which 75% of the days fall. d) Calculate the estimated variance and standard deviation of the daily rainfall based on the histogram data.arrow_forwardAn electronics company manufactures batches of n circuit boards.

- Pam, Rob and Sam get a cake that is one-third chocolate, one-third vanilla, and one-third strawberry as shown below. They wish to fairly divide the cake using the lone chooser method. Pam likes strawberry twice as much as chocolate or vanilla. Rob only likes chocolate. Sam, the chooser, likes vanilla and strawberry twice as much as chocolate. In the first division, Pam cuts the strawberry piece off and lets Rob choose his favorite piece. Based on that, Rob chooses the chocolate and vanilla parts. Note: All cuts made to the cake shown below are vertical.Which is a second division that Rob would make of his share of the cake?arrow_forwardThree players (one divider and two choosers) are going to divide a cake fairly using the lone divider method.
