Chapter 2.2, Problem 6P
Interpretation Consider the two graphs depicting the influence of advertisements on making large purchases for two different age groups, those 18 to 34 years old and those 45 to 54 years old (based on a Harris Poll of about 2500 adults aged 18 or older). Note: Other responses such as "not sure" and "not applicable" were also possible.
Influence of Advertising on Most Recent Large Purchase
(a) Taking a quick glance at the graphs, Jenna thought that there was very little difference (maybe less than 1%) in the percentage of the two age groups who said that ads were influential. How would you change the graphs so that Jenna would not be misled so easily? Hint: Look at the vertical scales of the two graphs.
(b) Take the information from the two graphs and make a cluster bar graph showing the percentage by age group reporting to be influenced by ads and those reporting they were not influenced by ads.

Quality Control: A factory produces light bulbs with a 2% defect rate. If a random sample of 20 bulbs is tested, what is the probability that exactly 2 bulbs are defective? (hint: p=2% or 0.02; x =2, n=20; use the same logic for the following problems)
Marketing Campaign: A marketing company sends out 1,000 promotional emails. The probability of any email being opened is 0.15. What is the probability that exactly 150 emails will be opened? (hint: total emails or n=1000, x =150)
Customer Satisfaction: A survey shows that 70% of customers are satisfied with a new product. Out of 10 randomly selected customers, what is the probability that at least 8 are satisfied? (hint: One of the keyword in this question is “at least 8”, it is not “exactly 8”, the correct formula for this should be = 1- (binom.dist(7, 10, 0.7, TRUE)).

- 7. In a 2011 article, M. Radelet and G. Pierce reported a logistic prediction equation for the death penalty verdicts in North Carolina. Let Y denote whether a subject convicted of murder received the death penalty (1=yes), for the defendant's race h (h1, black; h = 2, white), victim's race i (i = 1, black; i = 2, white), and number of additional factors j (j = 0, 1, 2). For the model logit[P(Y = 1)] = a + ß₁₂ + By + B²², they reported = -5.26, D â BD = 0, BD = 0.17, BY = 0, BY = 0.91, B = 0, B = 2.02, B = 3.98. (a) Estimate the probability of receiving the death penalty for the group most likely to receive it. [4 pts] (b) If, instead, parameters used constraints 3D = BY = 35 = 0, report the esti- mates.
