Answer to Problem 4.1E

So, 64.3% of Students making A' s and B' s of them rarely and never use sunscreen. And this is row percentage

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Table for sunscreen Use:

GradeNever or rarely SometimesAlways or most timesTotal
A' and B'13224502852057
C'5688347698
D' s and F' s 85153103
Total19755483352858

Calculation:

In this problem, data shown in given above table is referred, that is describing the usual grades that students get and how often they use screen.

Students who gets A's and B's of them rarely and never use sunscreen,

  NorRT

Where,

  NorR= no of students who gets A's and B's from column of Never or rarely used students

  T= no of students who gets A's and B's from Total column

So,

  =NorRT=13222057=64.3%

Thus, 64.3% of Students making A' s and B' s of them rarely and never use sunscreen. And this is row percentage as due to focusing on the only one 1st row corresponding to the A' s and B' s at the time when calculating the percentage

Conclusion:

Therefore, 64.3% of Students who gets A' s and B' s of them rarely and never use sunscreen. And this is row percentage

To determine

Answer to Problem 4.1E

So, 15.1% of Students who gets C's of them sometimes use sunscreen. And this is column percentage.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Table for sunscreen Use:

GradeNever or rarely SometimesAlways or most timesTotal
A' and B'13224502852057
C'5688347698
D' s and F' s 85153103
Total19755483352858

Calculation:

In this problem, data shown in given above table is referred, that is describing the usual grades that students get and how often they use screen.

Students making C's of them sometimes wear a sunscreen,

  C's=STs

Where,

  S= no of students who gets C's from column of sometimes

  Ts= Total of sometimes column.

So,

  =STs=83548=15.1%

Thus, 15.1% of Students who gets C's of them sometimes use sunscreen. And this is column percentage as due to focusing on the only on the 2nd column (corresponding to the sometimes-wearing sunscreen) at the time when calculating the percentage.

Conclusion:

Therefore, 15.1% of Students who gets C's of them sometimes use sunscreen. And this is column percentage.

To determine

(c)

Answer to Problem 4.1E

No of Students who gets A'sorB's of them use sunscreen always or most of the times is the 10%

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Table for sunscreen Use:

GradeNever or rarely SometimesAlways or most timesTotal
A' and B'13224502852057
C'5688347698
D' s and F' s 85153103
Total19755483352858

Calculation:

In this problem, data shown in given above table is referred, that is describing the usual grades that students get and how often they use screen.

The number of students who usually get A' s and B' s and who also always or usually wear sunscreen is the no in the corresponding cell.

So, overall sample who gets A' s and B' s is,

The percentage of students making C's of them sometimes wear a sunscreen,

  C's=AorMT

Where,

  AorM= Students who get A' s and B' s is from always or most times column.

  Ts= Total.

So,

  A'sorB's=AorMT=2852858=10%

Thus, no of Students who gets A'sorB's of them use sunscreen always or most of the times is the 10%

Conclusion:

Therefore, no of Students who gets A'sorB's of them use sunscreen always or most of the times is the 10%

Total1975(69.1%)548(19.2%)335(11.2%)2858

In each cell, the row percentage was calculated by dividing the cell's value with the total no of students in the same row.

For example, in the cell for sometimes and C's, divide the cell's value (83) by the total no of students in the C's row, 698

Answer to Problem 4.1E

The row percentages found in part 'd' indicates that there is some relationship between the usual grades of the students and how often they apply sunscreens.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Table for sunscreen Use:

GradeNever or rarely SometimesAlways or most timesTotal
A' and

  B'

13224502852057
C'5688347698
D' s and

  F' s

851515103
Total19755485482858

Calculation:

The row percentages found in part 'iv' indicates that there is some relationship between the usual grades of the students and how often they apply sunscreens.

For example, students who gets A'sorB's, 13.9% of students always or most of the time apply sunscreen.

Yet for students who usually get D's and F's only, 2.9% of these students apply sunscreen most of the time or always. This suggest the distribution of different for A or B students than its for D or F students.

Conclusion:

The row percentages found in part 'iv' indicates that there is some relationship between the usual grades of the students and how often they apply sunscreens.

A major company in the Montreal area, offering a range of engineering services from project preparation to construction execution, and industrial project management, wants to ensure that the individuals who are responsible for project cost estimation and bid preparation demonstrate a certain uniformity in their estimates. The head of civil engineering and municipal services decided to structure an experimental plan to detect if there could be significant differences in project evaluation. Seven projects were selected, each of which had to be evaluated by each of the two estimators, with the order of the projects submitted being random. The obtained estimates are presented in the table below.   a) Complete the table above by calculating: i. The differences (A-B) ii. The sum of the differences iii. The mean of the differences iv. The standard deviation of the differences b) What is the value of the t-statistic? c) What is the critical t-value for this test at a significance level of 1%?…
