A company studies the product preferences of 20,000 consumers. It was found that each of the
products A, B and C was liked by 7500, 6500 and 5500 respectively and all the products were
liked by 1230. Products A and B were liked by 2500, products A and C were liked by 2300 and
products B and C were liked by 2530. Prove that the study results are not correct

A researcher wanted to study the tendency of our choices to be influenced by our environment, so she conducted an experiment. The researcher recruited 90 volunteers. She randomly assigned 30 to sit in a room with red walls, 30 to sit in a room with yellow walls, and 30 to sit in a room with orange walls. After sitting in the room doing mundane activities, she offered them all a snack of strawberries, bananas, or oranges. For each individual, she recorded which room the participant was in and which snack they chose. The data are displayed in the table.
The researcher would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence that the distribution of snack choice differs for the various room colors in the population of all volunteers like these. What is the appropriate inference procedure?

- brandon conducted a research to determine the preference of students during online classes. From the 250 students who participated in the study, 85 wanted to have synchronous classes, 90 wanted to have asynchronous classes, and 100 wanted to have blended learning. From the respondents, it was seen that 35 preferred either synchronous and asynchronous, 10 preferred synchronous and blended learning, 25 preferred blended learning and asynchronous, and exactly 55 liked two of the mode of learning. 1. How many students liked synchronous, asynchronous, and blended learning? 2. How many students liked synchronous learning, but did not preferred asynchronous or blended learning? 3. How many students did not like either of the three modes of learning? 4. Draw the initial and final Venn diagram.arrow_forwardAs discussed in class, which of the three categories of bias (selection, response, non-response) is most different from the other two?arrow_forward) A recent poll surveyed 1587 adults (18 years of age and older, residing in the contiguous United States, contacted by phone from randomly selected homes). Residents who agreed to participate were categorized according to their political party preference (Democrat, Republican or other) and their gender (male or female). To make life easier, we’ll focus on the responses from the south (37% of the sample or 588 people). Our question is about the “Gender Gap” in American politics (the gender gap is described as differences in voting preferences for men and women). Is voting preference independent of gender?

A large survey of countries, including the United States, China, Russia, France, Turkey, Kenya, and others, indicated that most people prefer the color blue. In fact, about 24% of the population claim blue as their favorite color.t Suppose a random sample of n = 59 college students were surveyed and r = 8 of them said that blue is their favorite color. Does this information imply that the color preference of all college students is different (either way) from that of the general population? Use a = 0.05.
