The marketing research firm of OUWant12 designed and sent three spam advertisements to 40 e-mail accounts. The first one was an ad for hair removal cream, the second was an ad for Botox treatments, and the third was an ad for a new all lima bean diet. Explain why, when the following results occurred, the sponsors discontinued their services.
23 recipients deleted the ad for hair removal cream without looking at it.
18 recipients deleted the ad for Botox treatments.
19 recipients deleted the ad for the all lima bean diet.
12 recipients deleted the ads for hair removal cream and Botox treatments.
6 recipients deleted the ads for Botox treatments and the all lima bean diet.
7 recipients deleted the ads for the hair removal cream and the all lima bean diet.
2 recipients deleted all three ads.

- The rabies vaccine for dogs can save your dog's life. If your dog bites another animal or is on the receiving end of a bite, the vaccine can protect them from a dangerous and potentially fatal illness. Furthermore, in most places, the rabies vaccine for dogs is legally required. The NYC Department of Health wants to know if LESS than 95% of the dogs in the city have been vaccinated with their rabies vaccine. 158,045 of the 165,000 dogs examined had their rabies shots.

- In January 2019, a small company headquartered in Baltimore needed to track its cost per employee in 2018 for tax purposes. The company had 98 employees at the time. The CFO prepares a chart listing the name of each employee along with his or her salary, total amount of any bonuses received, health insurance cost, whether the employee is participating in Car efirst or Kaiser, the company’s 401K contribution and whether the employee took any college courses in 2018 (1 for yes, 0 for no.)

We randomly selected five institutions from among all U.S. institutions with graduate programs. The first number for each is the minimum GPA for applicants to the psychology doctoral program, and the second is for applicants to the history doctoral program. These GPAs were posted on the website of the well-known college guide company Peterson's.

- A real estate major collected information on some recent local home sales. The first 6 lines of the database appear in the accompanying table. The columns correspond to the house identification number, the community name, the zip code, the number of acres of the property, the year the house was built, the market value, and the size of the living area (in square feet). Do the data appear to have come from a designed survey or experiment? What concerns might you have about drawing conclusions from this data set? E Click the icon to view the data table.

A SRS of 360 patients was taken. Data was collected on whether a patient had filed a complaint and, if so, whether the complaint was medical or nonmedical in nature. After a year, a tally from these patients was collected to count number who left the HMO voluntarily. Here are the data on the total number in each group and the number who voluntarily left the HMO: No complaint Medical complaint Nonmedical complaint Total 159 132 69 Left 60 34 26 If the null hypothesis is H0:p1=p2=p3 and using α=0.01, then do the following: (a) Find the expected number of people with no complaint who leave the HMO: (b) Find the expected number of people with a medical complaint who leave the HMO: (c) Find the expected number of people with a nonmedical complaint who leave the HMO: (d) Find the test statistic: (e) Find the degrees of freedom: (f) Find the critical value:arrow_forwardThe GfK Custom Research Organization conducted identical surveys five years apart. One question asked women: “Are most men basically kind, gentle, and thoughtful"? The earlier survey revealed that, of the 3550 women surveyed, 2350 said that they were. In the later survey, 2250 of the 3550 women surveyed thought that men were kind, gentle, and thoughtful. Can we conclude that women think men are less kind, gentle, and thoughtful in the later survey compared with the earlier one? Use 0.01 significance level. Calculate and interpret the p-value. a. State the decision rule. (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.) The decision rule is to reject Ho if z is less than b.
