Do social robots walk or roll? Refer to the International Conference on Social Robotics (Vol. 6414, 201 0) study of the trend in the design of social robots, Exercise 2.5 (p. 48). Recall that in a random sample of 106 social (or service) robots designed to entertain, educate, and care for human users, 63 were built with legs only, 20 with wheels only, 8 with both legs and wheels, and 15 with neither legs nor wheels. One of the 106 social robots is randomly selected and the design (e.g., wheels only) is noted.
- a. List the sample points for this study.
- b. Assign reasonable probabilities to the sample points.
- c. What is the
probability that the selected robot is designed with wheels? - d. What is the probability that the selected robot is designed with legs?

The study reported that 320 of 442 (72%) smartphone users sampled, 192 of 350 (55%)computer users sampled, and 139 of 260 (53%) tablet users sampled used their device to check social media unrelated to the video content while watching TV. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

Each participant reported the number of hours they spend on the internet in a typical week (the dependent variable). The researcher found the following descriptive statistics: Urban participants reported an average of 8.9 hours of internet use per week with a standard deviation of 2.77.

Reproducibility Researchers looked at studies that were reported in newspapers with the goal of determining whether initial studies had results that could be reproduced. Reproducibility of results means that subsequent analysis confirms the conclusion of the original study. Primary studies are studies where the researchers come up with a research objective, clearly state the goals of the study and population, describe the research method, test the research hypotheses, and draw conclusions. (a) Among the 156 primary studies reported by newspapers, 76 had results that were validated by subsequent analysis.
