1. A survey of 1712 high school seniors in 421 high schools across the country revealed that 74% percent of students think that their teachers are doing a good or excellent job. Twenty-two percent of those surveyed said that they would like to become teachers. Although the seniors reported that their teachers generally have good content knowledge and are competent, the seniors also said that many of their teachers were not as interesting or creative as they should be.

The Grand Canyon and the Colorado River are beautiful, rugged, and sometimes dangerous. Assume there is a physician at the park clinic in Grand Canyon Village. Suppose the physician has recorded (for a 5-year period) the number of visitor injuries at different landing points for commercial boat trips down the Colorado River in both the Upper and Lower Grand Canyon. Upper Canyon: Number of injuries per Landing Point Between North Canyon and Phantom Ranch 2 311 3 4 8 11 3 1 3 Lower Canyon: Number of injuries per Landing Point Between Bright Angel and Lava Falls 10 1 10 89 2 11 3 0 1 10 2 The mean, median, and mode for Upper Canyon are 3.636, 3.0, and 3, respectively. The mean, median, and mode for Lower Canyon are 4.286, 2.0, and 1, respectively. Compare the mean, median, and mode found in Upper Canyon and Lower Canyon, respectively.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the official unemployment rate for Black people was 10.4% and 4.7% for White people in February 2015. Select all correct answers for this question. O The samples of white and black people are independent. The explanatory variable is the unemployment rate. The response variable is the unemployment rate. The response variable is race.

Suppose you were to collect data for the following pair of variables, ski diving: depth, visibility. You want to make a scatterplot. Which variable would you use as the explanatory variable? depth visibility Which variable would you use as the response variable? O depth O visibility Would you expect to see a positive or negative association? positive negative O neither

4. time to try out multiple predictor variables. take a look at the data shown here, where the outcome is becoming a great chef. we suspect that variables such as number of years of experience cooking, level of formal culinary education, and number of different positions (sous chef, pasta station, etc.) all contribute to rankings or scores on the great chef test. a. which are the best predictors of a chef’s score? b. what score can you expect from a person with 12 years of experience and a level 2 education who has held five positions?

Dataset: NES. Variables: spend8, nesw.) The NES dataset contains spend8, which records the number of government policy areas where respondents think spending should be increased. Scores range from 0 (the respondent does not want to increase spending on any of the policies) to 8 (the respondent wants to increase spending on all eight policies). The NES, of course, polls a random sample of U.S. adults. In this exercise you will analyze spend8 using the Analyze ▶ Compare Means ▶ One-Sample T Test procedure. You then will draw inferences about the population mean. Make sure you weight observations using the nesw variable so your results are nationally representative.   A. The spend8 variable has a sample mean of ______.

The personality characteristics of business leaders (e.g., CEOS) are related to the operations of the businesses that they lead (Oreg & Berson, 2018). Traits like openness to experience are related to positive financial outcomes and other traits are related to negative financial outcomes for their businesses. Suppose that a board of directors is interested in evaluating the personality of their leadership. Among a sample of n = 16 managers, the sample mean of the openness to experiences dimension of personality was M = 4.50. Assuming that u = 4.24 and o = 1.05 (Cobb-Clark & Schurer, 2012), use a two-tailed hypothesis test with a = .05 to test the hypothesis that this company's business leaders' openness to experience is different from the population.
