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

A' and

  B'

C'5688347698
D' s and

  F' s

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.

Definition of null hypothesis from the textbook Definition of alternative hypothesis from the textbook Imagine this: you suspect your beloved Chicken McNugget is shrinking. Inflation is hitting everything else, so why not the humble nugget too, right? But your sibling thinks you’re just being dramatic—maybe you’re just extra hungry today. Determined to prove them wrong, you take matters (and nuggets) into your own hands. You march into McDonald’s, get two 20-piece boxes, and head home like a scientist on a mission. Now, before you start weighing each nugget like they’re precious gold nuggets, let’s talk hypotheses. The average weight of nuggets as mentioned on the box is 16 g each. Develop your null and alternative hypotheses separately. Next, you weigh each nugget with the precision of a jeweler and find they average out to 15.5 grams. You also conduct a statistical analysis, and the p-value turns out to be 0.01. Based on this information, answer the following questions. (Remember,…
