Question
- Suppose a survey was done in three states on the Covid-19 pandemic situation. Of the total population of the three states, 25% live in state X, 45% live in state Y, and 30% live in state Z. In state X, 20% of the citizens have been infected with Covid-19, in state B, 10% of the citizens have been infected with Covid-19, and in state C, 15% of the citizens have been infected with Covid-19.
Let X represents the
- a) Find the
probability that a randomly selected citizen has not been infected with Covid-19 and lives in state X and find the probability that a randomly selected citizen has been infected with Covid-19 and Given that a randomly selected citizen has been infected with Covid-19, find the probability that the selected citizen is from state Y.

- The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) sent an online survey to 3000 small businesses in Canada asking many questions as to how they were affected by the Covid-19 sanitary restrictions over the last two years. Of the 229 businesses that responded to the CFIB survey, 37.1 % reported that they were negatively affected. An equivalent provincial association in Quebec (AGAP) had just conducted a similar survey among its 250 members. Among the 24 AGAP members who responded to the same question, 7 of them said they were negatively affected. Do you have any reason to doubt that, statistically, the AGAP respondents can be considered part of the same population of CFIB respondents?

He finds 18 undergraduate students who are willing to be part of the experiment. Well, the $100 Amazon gift card made it easy to find participants quickly. In any case, the students were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: 1) constant background noise; 2) random background noise; and 3) no background noise. The students were given material to study for one hour under these conditions. After that one hour, each student took a 20-point multiple-choice test. The scores for each student were as follows: constant noise: 16,17,14,15,16,13 random noise: 18,13,12,15,12,11 no noise: 20,19,18,16,15,17 a) What are the null and alternative hypotheses for this study?

They grouped participants according to self-reported stress-induced eating habits: consistently eating more (hyperphagics) or eating less (hypophagics) when stressed. Each participant was then exposed to one of three social situations: (1) a social inclusion condition, where subjects were told that a confederate partner had approved of a video they had made answering some questions and was looking forward to meeting them, (2) a neutral condition, where they were told their partners could not meet them because their partners had to cancel their participation, or (3) a social exclusion condition, where they were told that their partner had decided not to meet them after viewing their video. Subjects were then given an ice cream taste test and the amount of ice cream consumed was measured. Question: How many factors are in this scenario?arrow_forward
