“The rapid growth of video game popularity has generated concern among practitioners, parents, scholars, and politicians,” wrote researchers Hope M. Cummings and Elizabeth A. Vandewater. In their study, Cummings and Vandewater measured the time adolescents spent playing video games as well as time spent doing other activities, such as interacting with family and friends, reading or doing homework, or playing sports. [Source: Cummings, H., & Vandewater, E. (2007). Relation of adolescent video game play to time spent in other activities. Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 161(7), 684–689.]
After reading about the study conducted by Cummings and Vandewater, you decide to conduct a similar study among a sample of 10 teenage girls. You ask the girls to keep a log of their activities for a day. You want to test whether the amount of time girls spend playing video games is correlated with the amount of time they read for pleasure. You realize that because some of the…

- Many research studies have been conducted to examine how different organizations are on implementing knowledge management processes. For example, studies have proved that larger firms have more resources to utilize, and so they have taken more efforts to implement knowledge management processes. The Journal of Business Research (Aug. 2014) published a study discussing the relationship between knowledge management processes and organizational performance. The table below shows the percentage of different size of firms participated in the study. These firms have been classified in terms of number of employees working. Need step-by-step procedure to answer each question. Randomly select one of the participated company from this study. Let x be the number of employees working in the company. Write the probability distribution of this x. What is the probability that the selected company employs more than 50 employees? Find E(x) and σ. Interpret the result.arrow_forwardManagement of a major company has made the following assumptions regarding their consumer profile.

The researchers conducted survey and focus groups to evaluate the purchasing pattern of the company's current consumers. In a survey of 400 consumers, 252 respondents were women and 148yrespondents indicated they purchase the company's products online. The average age of the respondents was 44 years with standard deviation of 10 years.

A subsample of the HRS participated in an Internet-based survey that collected information on a number of topical areas, including health (physical and mental health behaviors), psychosocial items, economics (income, assets, expectations, and consumption), and retirement. Two of the questions asked were: "Would you say your health is excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor?" and “Do you smoke cigarettes now?"

The belief is that mining that data provides a treasure trove for those who seek to quantify and predict future human behavior. A marketer is planning a survey of Internet users in the United States to determine social media usage. The objective of the survey is to gain insight on these three items: key social media platforms used, frequency of social media usage, and demographics of key social media platform users. a. For each of the three items listed, indicate whether the variables are categorical or numerical. If a variable is numerical, is it dis crete or continuous? b.

During this time, Westminster provided a choice among twelve pre-designed investment packages. Westminster classified the packages into three categories according to riskiness. We're interested in the possible relationship between the age of an imvestor and the riskiness of the investment package she chose. So, there are two variables under consideration: age of Westminster investor ("under 35", "35-49", or "50+") and riskiness of investment choice ("risky", "mnderate/mixed", or "conservative"). The contingency table below gives a summary of the information released by Westminster regarding age and riskiness of investment package for a random sample of 150 investors. Each cell of the table contains three numbers: the first number is the observed cell frequency fo): the second number is the expected cell frequency e) under the assumption that…arrow_forward
