A survey was conducted that included several questions about how internet users feel about search engines and other websites collecting information about them and using this information either to shape search results or target advertising to them. In one question, participants were asked, "If a search engine kept track of what you search for, and then used that information to personalize your future search results, how would you feel about that?" Respondents could indicate either "Would not be okay with it because you feel it is an invasion of your privacy" or "Would be okay with it, even if it means they are gathering information about you." Frequencies of responses by age group are summarized in the following table.
Age | Not Okay | Okay |
---|---|---|
18–29 | 0.1488 | 0.0601 |
30–49 | 0.2276 | 0.0904 |
50+ | 0.4011 | 0.0720 |
(a)
What is the probability a survey respondent will say she or he is not okay with this practice?
(b)
Given a respondent is 30–49 years old, what is the probability the respondent will say she or he is okay with this practice? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(c)
Given a respondent says she or he is not okay with this practice, what is the probability the respondent is 50+ years old? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(d)
Is the attitude about this practice independent of the age of the respondent? Why or why not?
No, because these events aren't mutually exclusive.No, because P(okay | 30-49) ≠ P(okay). Yes, because P(okay | 30-49) = P(30-49 | okay).Yes, because P(okay ∩ 18-29) = 0.
(e)
Do attitudes toward this practice for respondents who are 18–29 years old and respondents who are 50+ years old differ?
The attitudes ---Select--- differ don't differ . Compared to respondents in the 18-29 age category, respondents in the 50+ age category are ---Select--- equally likely less likely more likely to say this practice is not okay.

- A campus researcher wanted to investigate the factors that affect visitor travel time in a complex, multilevel building on campus. Specifically, he wanted to determine whether different building signs (building maps versus wall signage) affect the total amount of time visitors require to reach their destination and whether that time depends on whether the starting location is inside or outside the building. Three subjects were assigned to each of the combinations of signs and starting locations, and travel time in seconds from beginning to destination was recorded. How should the data be analyzed? Wall Signs Map Starting Room Interior 141, 119, 238 85, 94, 126 Randomized block design O Completely randomized design 2 x 2 factorial design Levene's test Exterior 224, 339, 139 226, 129, 130arrow_forwardA researcher is interested in the affects that a person’s avatar (i.e. visual representation of oneself) has on the number of profile views on Facebook.com. The average number of individual personal profile views is known to be 230 views per day (excluding bands, artists, etc.). The researcher creates 36 fictitious profiles that contain roughly the same information but the picture (avatar) is an animated .gif of a smiling face (36 faces randomly selected from a compilation of faces judged to be of average attractiveness). The results showed that of the 36 profiles the average number of views was 250 with a standard deviation of 60. Test the hypothesis that the average number of views for a smiling face gif is significantly different than the usual number of personal profile views.arrow_forwardAs a destination marketing director, you found that TV executives used the guideline that 25% of the viewers were watching Fox cable network, 22% watching NBC and CBS, and 19% watching ABC. The remaining 12% were watching other cable networks such as CNN and MSNBC on a weekday night. A random sample of 500 viewers in the D.C. metro area last Tuesday night showed 109 homes were tuned in to the Fox station, 125 homes tuning in to NBC affiliate, 100 homes tuning in to CBS affiliate and 81 homes tuning in to ABC affiliate. 85 homes were watching CNN and NSNBC cable stations. At the 0.05 significant level, can we conclude that the guideline is still reasonable?arrow_forward
- According to Inc.com, 71% of job seekers used social media in their job search in 2018. Many believe this number is inflated by the proportion of 22- to 30-year-old job seekers who use social media in their job search. A survey of 22- to 30 -year-old job seekers showed that 310 of the 370 respondents use social media in their job search. In addition, 275 of the 370 respondents indicated they have electronically submitted a resume to an employer.arrow_forwardA 2009 Pew Research Center survey asked a sample of 1,504 adults living in the United States for their opinions on recent technological advancements, such as online shopping, cell phones, and social networking. Respondents categorized each advancement as a change for the worse, hasn't made much difference, a change for the better, or don't know. A summary of respondents' opinions on the Internet follows: Response Change for the worse Hasn't made much difference Change for the better. Don't know Percent of Respondents 16 11 65 8 Make a bar graph of the relative frequency distribution of the responses.arrow_forwardA local company is interested in supporting environmentally friendly initiatives such as carpooling among employees. The company surveyed all of the 200 employees at the downtown offices. Employees responded as to whether or not they own a car and to the location of the home where they live. The results are shown in the table below. If the person owns a car, he or she is more likely to live elsewhere in the city than to live in the downtown area in the city. If the person does not own a car, he or she is more likely to live outside the city than to live in the city (downtown area or elsewhere). The person is more likely to own a car if he or she lives in the city (downtown area or elsewhere) than if he or she lives outside the city. The person is more likely to live in the downtown area in the city than elsewhere in the city. The person is more likely to own a car than not to own a car.arrow_forward
- According to a Gallup poll in October 2015, having young children at home greatly influences whether women in the U.S. prefer to stay at home or work outside of it. More than half of women, 56%, who have a child younger than 18 would ideally like to stay home and care for their house and family, while 58% of those without young children would rather work outside the home. Having young children makes little difference in men's preferences, with close to three-quarters preferring to work regardless of their parenting status. Gallup states that their method has a margin of error of 0.031.(a) Give a point estimate for the proportion of all US women with a child under 18 that would like to stay at home.(b) Give an interval estimate for the proportion of all US women with a child under 18 that would like to stay at home. Use three decimal places in your answer.( , )(c) What is the difference between a point estimate and an interval estimate?arrow_forwardSuppose you are the manager of two beachfront hotels : The Palms and Golden Sands. You'd like to know if there is a difference in guest satisfaction between the two hotels. To investigate this, you conduct a survey and ask guests upon departure if they are likely to return to the hotel in the future. For The Palms, 163 out of 227 guests who were surveyed responded " yes ". For Golden Sands, 154 out of 262 guests responded "yes ". Answer the following questions. Round any numbers in your final answers to 2 decimals. 1) Calculate a 95 % confidence interval for the difference in satisfaction rates between The Palms and Golden Sands (Show work) 2) Use the critical value approach to test, at a 1% significance level, whether or not the guest satisfaction rates are different between the two hotels. What do you conclude ?

- In a series of studies, Sebastian Deri and his colleagues (2017) asked multiple groups about the number of friend groups they had and how often they attended different social events. They then asked participants how they thought their own numbers compared to other people's: Did participants see themselves as less social, the same as, or more social than others? In the first study, the researchers reported that: "Three hundred four participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (150 women; Mage = 37.1; 78% White, 10% Black, and 6% Asian) completed a survey in exchange for modest payment" (p. 860). What do the researchers mean by "Amazon's Mechanical Turk" with respect to their sample of participants? O A. An archival data set that already exists and from which researchers can use data O B.
