15. Gaucher, Friesen, and Kay (2011) found that masculine-themed words (such as competitive, inde- pendent, analyze, strong) are commonly used in job recruitment materials, especially for job advertise- ments in male-dominated areas. In a similar study, a researcher counted the number of masculine-themed words in job advertisements for job areas, and ob- tained the following data. Area Number of Masculine Words Plumber 14 Electrician 12 Security guard Bookkeeper Nurse 17 9. 6. Early-childhood 7 educator

A samll town installed a Blue streetlights, in part, to help reduce crime in particular areas. The city collected the number of property crimes along nine randomly selected streets in the month before and after the Blue light installation, and claims that crime has been reduced.The number of crime data is shown in the table. No before Blue Light After Blue Light 1 17 14 2 25 20 3 10 14 4 14 12 5 16 8 6 34 35 7 32 27 8 21 18 9 14 12 a. Specify the competing hypotheses to test the s,all town's claim.b. Calculate the value of the relevant test statistic and find the critical value at the 5% significance level.c. Does the evidence support the small town's claim at the 5% significance level?

Medical researchers followed 6272 Swedish men for 30 years to see if there was any association between the amount of fish in their diet and prostate cancer. (“Fatty Fish Consumption and Risk of Prostate Cancer,” Lancet, June 2001).  A summary of the data is given in the table below.  Fish Consumption No Prostate Cancers Prostate Cancers Never/Seldom 110 14 Small part of diet 2420 201 Moderate part of diet 2769 209 Large part of diet 507 42   A) If a patient is randomly selected, what is the probability that he/she had prostate cancer given that fish was never or seldom a part of the diet?  Round your answer to three decimal places and include the leading zero. B) If a patient is randomly selected, what is the probability that s/he ate fish as a large part of their diet given that they had prostate cancer.  Round your answer to two decimal places and include the leading zero.

5. A high school teacher wants to see if there is an effect on vocabulary recall between when students take a quiz before lunch and when they take it after lunch. She randomly selected 10 students and assessed them before lunch on Tuesday. On Wednesday she randomly selected 10 students and assessed them after lunch. The following were the percentage results Before lunch 62 60 68 64 72 75 63 60 64 80 After lunch 72 85 72 62 84 76 66 63 65 64 What type of samples were selected – independent or dependent (paired)? Explain. StatCrunch was used to analyze the data, and the output for both types of samples (independent and dependent) is given below. Using the appropriate output, determine if the mean quiz score is higher for those who take the quiz before lunch over those who take the quiz after lunch at a significance level of 0.05. Hypothesis test results: mean before lunch mean after lunch Hypothesis test results: : µi - µ2 : mean of the PAIRED difference µ2 : between Before and After…

Hospitals In a study of births in New York State, data were collected from four hospitals coded as follows: (1) Albany Medical Center; (1438) Bellevue Hospital Center; (66) Olean General Hospital; (413) Strong Memorial Hospital. Does it make sense to calculate the average (mean) of the numbers 1, 1438, 66, and 413?

In 1993 approximately 62.1 million Americans suffered injuries, as reported by the National Center for Health Statistics in Vital and Health Statistics. More males (33.4 million) were injured than females (28.7 million). Those statistics do not tell us whether males and females tend to be injured in similar circumstances. One set of categories commonly used for accident circumstances. One set of categories commonly used for accident circumstance is "while at work," "home", "motor vehicle", and "other". A random sample of accident reports gave the data in contingency table below. Male Female While at work 19 24 27 Home 14 Motor Vehicle 26 Other At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that an association exists between accident circumstances and sex? Type in Canvas the grand total. 35

6. A study of report writing by psychologist is conducted. A scale that measures the intelligibility of psychologist English is devised. This scale, called an "index of confusion" is devised so that low scores indicate high readability. These data are obtained on articles randomly selected from psychology journals and from unpublished reports written in 2015. Unpublished reports 2.39 Journals 1.79 1.75 1.67 1.65 2.51 2.86 2.14 1.87 1.75 1.94 2.56 2.29 2.49 1.62 2.06 1.33 2.36 2.58 2.33 1.96 1.69 1.70 2.62 2.41 1.94 a. Test the appropriate hypotheses. b. Does there appear to be a difference between u, and u, ? Explain.
