Chapter 5, Problem 5.57E
A local government wants to determine whether taxpayers support increasing local taxes to provide more public fundi ng to schook They randomly select 500 schoolchildren from a list of all children enrolled in local schools and then survey the parents of these children about possible tax increases.
a. What is the population of interest for the local government?
b. What sampling frame did the government use for the survey?
c. Explain why the problem called using the wrong sampling frame” might lead to a biased estimate of taxpayer support for increasing taxes.

1. A consumer group claims that the mean annual consumption of cheddar cheese by a person in
the United States is at most 10.3 pounds. A random sample of 100 people in the United States has
a mean annual cheddar cheese consumption of 9.9 pounds. Assume the population standard
deviation is 2.1 pounds. At a = 0.05, can you reject the claim? (Adapted from U.S. Department of
Agriculture)

- A psychology researcher conducted a Chi-Square Test of Independence to examine whether there is a relationship between college students’ year in school (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior) and their preferred coping strategy for academic stress (Problem-Focused, Emotion-Focused, Avoidance).

- Suppose an experiment was conducted to compare the mileage(km) per litre obtained by competing brands of petrol I,II,III. Three new Mazda, three new Toyota and three new Nissan cars were available for experimentation. During the experiment the cars would operate under same conditions in order to eliminate the effect of external variables on the distance travelled per litre on the assigned brand of petrol. The data is given as below: Brands of Petrol Mazda Toyota Nissan I 10.6 12.0 11.0 II 9.0 15.0 12.0 III 12.0 17.4 13.0 (a) Test at the 5% level of significance whether there are signi cant differences among the brands of fuels and also among the cars.
