Chapter 3.1, Problem 7PB
Heaven and hell Two questions on the General Social Survey read, “Do you believe in heaven?” and “Do you believe in hell?” 955 subjects answered “yes” to both questions, 188 answered “no” to both, 162 answered “yes” to heaven but “no” to hell, and 9 answered “no” to heaven but “yes” to hell.
- a. Explain how we could regard either variable (opinion about heaven, opinion about hell) as a response variable.
- b. Display the data as a
contingency table , labeling the variables and the categories. - c. Find the conditional proportions that treat opinion about heaven as the response variable and opinion about hell as the explanatory variable. Interpret.
- d. Find the conditional proportions that treat opinion about hell as the response variable and opinion about heaven as the explanatory variable. Interpret.
- e. Find the marginal proportion who (i) believe in heaven, (ii) believe in hell.

Sierra College students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course were asked to participate in an anonymous online survey. The survey asked the students "Which type of device will you primarily use to access your online course in Canvas?". Of the 153 students who answered this question, 31 responded "a desktop computer", 113 responded "a laptop computer" 6 responded "a smartphone", and 3 responded a tablet". The Sierra College Mathematics Department believes that less than 5% of students enrolled in an online Elementary Statistics course primarily uses a smartphone to access their online course in Canvas. Use the data collected in the survey to conduct a hypothesis testing procedure to test this belief. What conclusion should be reached according to the results of this hypothesis test?
Cyberbullying In 2018, the Pew Research Center did a study on cyberbullying. A sample of 743 teens were asked if they had ever experienced any of the below 6 types of cyberbullying while online or via their cellphone. Those who selected yes to one or more of these questions were considered to be a target of cyberbullying.
