Given that about 60% of students drink alcohol, what would you predict to be the shape of the distribution of the number of cups drunk for university students (which include those who drink alcohol and those who don't)? Select one: O a. negatively skewed with scores bunched at 6 drinks per week b. normal distribution with one peak at 6 drinks a week leptokurtic with scores bunching around 6 drinks a week O d. positively skewed with scores bunched at 3 drinks a week.

The earnings (in millions of dollars) for several randomly selected people from each category are shown in the table below. It has been confirmed that the population variance for each group is equal and that earnings follow a normal distribution for top-pain actors, athletes and musicians. Use a 5% significance to test the claim.

- An amusement park keeps track of the percentage of individuals with season passes according to age category. An independent tourist company would like to show that this distribution of age category for individuals buying season passes is different from what the amusement park claims. The tourist company randomly sampled 200 individuals entering the park with a season pass and recorded the number of individuals within each age category. Age Category Child (under 13 years old) Teen (13 to 19 years old) Adult (20 to 55 years old) Senior (56 years old and over) Number of Individuals 56 86 44 14 The tourist company will use the data to test the amusement park’s claim, which is reflected in the following null hypothesis. H0:pchild=0.23H0:pchild=0.23, pteen=0.45pteen=0.45, padult=0.20padult=0.20, and psenior=0.12psenior=0.12.

The first group received a booster dose of type I vaccine and the second group received a booster dose of type II vaccine. Two weeks later the antibody level was measured. The average number of antibodies in each group appears in the following table Do these data indicate that there is a difference in the effectiveness of the two vaccines used for booster doses? Assume a normal distribution and equal population variances. The test statistic that will determine if there is a difference in the effectiveness of the two vaccines.....
