Owners of a children's toy store chain in the Northwest asked just this question. Some data collected by the chain are summarized in the table below. The data were obtained from a random sample of 190 people. The birthdate of each person was recorded, and each of these dates was placed into one of four categories: winter (December 21-March 20), spring (March 21-June 20), summer (June 21-September 20), and fall (September 21-December 20). The numbers in the first row of the table are the frequencies observed in the sample for these season categories. The numbers in the second row are the expected frequencies under the assumption that birthdays are equally likely during each season of the year. The bottom row of numbers gives the following value for each of the season categories. Answer the following to summarize the test of the hypothesis that birthdays are equally…arrow_forwardGiven the following data for an imaginary superhero universe: Flying Telepathy Super Strength Female 24 51 59 Male 100 54 86 Distribution of Super Power by Gender What is the empirical probability that a randomly selected superhero will have telepathy?

- The World Bank collects information on the life expectancy of a person in each country ("Life expectancy at," 2013) and the fertility rate per woman in the country ("Fertility rate," 2013). The data for 12 randomly selected countries for the year 2011 are shown in the table below. Table: Data of Fertility Rates versus Life Expectancy Fertility Rate Life Expectancy 1.7 77 5.8 55 2.2 70 2.1 76 1.8 75 2.0 78 2.6 73 1.5 81 6.9 54 2.9 72 4.7 63 6.8 57 The most commonly used type of correlation is Pearson correlation, named after Karl Pearson, introduced around the turn of the 20th century. Pearson's r measures the linear relationship between two variables, say X and Y.

Here are the data: Final grade in class: Prof Lavigne: 67,74,82,55 Monkey: 43,66,52,10 No professor: 97,87,86,78 We now want to figure out if the average final grade in each class is different from one another. What kind of analysis does this require? One-way ANOVA A series of two-sample t-tests A series of one-sample t-tests None of the above What degrees of freedom are needed to answer the following question: Are average final grades statistically different in each group? 10 11 2 and 9 3 and 12 No degrees of freedom can be usedarrow_forward
