Cell phone handoff behavior. A "handoff' is a term used in wireless communications to describe the process of a cell phone moving from the coverage area of one base station to that of another. Each base station has multiple channels (called color codes} that allow it to communicate with the cell phone. The Journal of Engineering, Computing and Architecture (Vol. 3., 2009} published a study of cell phone handoff behavior. During a sample driving trip that involved crossing from one base station to another, the different color codes accessed by the cell phone were monitored and recorded. The table below shows the number of times each color code was accessed for two identical driving trips, each using a different cell phone model. (Note: The table is similar to the one published in the article.) Suppose you randomly select one point during the combined driving trips.
- a. What is the
probability that the cell phone was using color code 5? - b. What is the probability that the cell phone was using color code 5 or color code Q?
- c. What is the probability that the cell phone used was Model 2 and the color code was 0?

One facet of the study involved a participant’s listening time per day. a) State the Hypothesis to show the variation in the listening time depends on residence (urban or rural). b) Media Research Inc. collected the number of minutes spent listening to the radio in a day for a random sample of 10 urban and 11 rural listeners. The data appears below. Use JMP software to test the hypothesis of part a). c) Using aplha= 0.05, draw a conclusion for the hypothesis test and state the conclusion in the context of the problem.

- A doctor is studying the relationship between blood pressure and heartbeat abnormalities in her patients. She tests a random sample of her patients and notes their blood pressures (high, low, or normal) and their heartbeats (regular or irregular). She finds that: 14% have high blood pressure. • 22% have low blood pressure. 15% have an irregular heartbeat. • Of those with an irregular heartbeat, one-third have high blood pressure. • Of those with normal blood pressure, one-eighth have an irregular heartbeat. What portion of the patients selected have a regular heartbeat and low blood pressure?

A researcher who is interested in such an issue decided to collect data on the level of rage/edginess that exist among a few couples due to lockdowns. Participants were asked to rank the level of hostility they think they have been exerting towards their partner due to having to spend more time than they usually do with them. The resulting data is presented on page two (2). 2 *14 is the highest level of hostility. Level of hostility Number of partners 0-1 4 2-3 11 4-5 8 6-7 20 8-9 25 10-11 12 12-13 12 13-14 4 a.

The table gives means and standard deviations (approximate values read from graphs in the paper) for the percentage of the time that a monkey spent playing with a particular toy. Assume that it is reasonable to regard these two samples of 44 monkeys as representative of the populations of male monkeys and of female monkeys. Use a 0.05 significance level for any hypothesis tests that you carry out when answering the various parts of this exercise.

This question refers to a large collection of real SMS text messages from participating cellphone users.' In this collection, 747 of the 5574 total messages (13.40%) are identified as spam. The word "free" is contained in 4.75% of all messages, and 3.57% of all messages both contain the word "free" and are marked as spam. The word "text" (or "txt") is contained in 7.01% of all messages, and in 38.55% of all spam messages. Of all spam messages, 17.00% contain both the word "free" and the word "text" (or "txt").
