- Inspired by the example about how background music influences choice of entrée at a restaurant, a statistics student decided to investigate other ways to influence a person's behavior. Using 60 volunteers, she randomly assigned 20 volunteers to get a "red" survey, 20 volunteers to get a "blue" survey, and 20 volunteers to get a control survey. The first three questions on each survey were the same, but the fourth and fifth questions were different. For example, the fourth question on the "red" survey was "When you think of the color red, what do you think about?" On the blue survey, the question replaced red with blue. On the control survey, the last two questions were not about color. As a reward, each volunteer was allowed to choose a chocolate candy in a red wrapper or a chocolate candy in a blue wrapper. The table shows the result of the experiment. We want to test Ho: The distribution of candy choice is the same for subjects like these who receive the red survey, the blue survey,…arrow_forwardhe city of Raleigh has 7000 registered voters.

They asked the following question: "As you know, the Friday after Thanksgiving is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Looking ahead, do you personally plan on shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving, or not?" Of the 515 men who responded, 16% said "Yes." Of the 500 women who responded, 20% said "Yes." The standard error of the differences in proportions (PM - Pw) is about SE = 0.025. Use the normal distribution to test, at the 5% level, if the proportions of men and women who planned to shop on the Friday after Thanksgiving are significantly different. The sample size is large enough to use the normal distribution. Z= i p-value = i There is ✓evidence that the proportion of men and women who planned to shop the Friday after Thanksgiving are significantly different.arrow_forwardA teacher surveyed the students in one of his algebra classes, asking how many hours they spend watching TV shows, movies, and videos on a weekday.
