Question
A week before a state election, a random sample of voters from City J and a random sample of voters from City K were taken. Of the 100 voters selected from City J, 65 indicated they were supporting a certain candidate for state senate. Of the 125 voters selected from City K, 75 indicated they were supporting the candidate.
Which of the following is the correct test statistic for a two-sample z-test for a difference in population proportions for the two cities (J minus K) in their support for the candidate?

They decide that each of the four data scientists will take a quadrant of the park to collect a sample from as randomly as possible. They decide they will collect the sample during the winter, the time the elk herds are most stressed. They agree to trust each others professional judgement when it comes to the health of the individual elk in the herd. They will give each elk a grade out of 3pts: 1 pt for sick, 2pts for fair, and 3pts for healthy. They then share their data and compare to create a final report on the overall health of the elk in the park. In this scenario, what is the same for all samples (the control)?arrow_forwardA group of statisticians decides they will answer the question: Has the wolf reintroduction to Yellowstone been detrimental to elk herds in the park?

- Two different blood pressure medicines are being compared to determine if the average reduction in blood pressure is the same for each medication. The goal of the study is to determine if the medications differ. Twenty men age 50-60 years old are selected for the study. Ten men are chosen at random to receive the first medication and the other 10 men receive the second medication. Each of the 20 men is monitored for one month to determine the change in blood pressure over that time. Minitab provides the 95% confidence interval for (mu1 - mu2) (2.63, 14.18) a. Interpret this 95% CI. b. What assumptions (be specific) are necessary to construct this CI?arrow_forwardWhen two births are randomly selected, the sample space for genders is bb, bg, gb, and gg.

To do so, the researchers take two random samples. The first sample consists of randomly selected people who live in cities with more than 500,000 people around the country. The second sample consists of randomly selected people who live in towns with fewer than 20,000 people. Are these samples dependent or independent? Select the correct answer below: O These samples are independent. O These samples are dependent. Not enough information is provided to determine independence.arrow_forward
- A company is carrying out a consumer satisfaction survey for two of its products, product A and product B. The company believes that product A receives a higher proportion of satisfied customers than product B. Out of the 80 product A customers surveyed, 52 said they were satisfied with the product and out of the 100 product B customers surveyed, 42 said they were satisfied with the product. Use these sample statistics to compare the proportion of product A customers that are satisfied, p 1, and the proportion of product B customers that are satisfied, p 2. i) Carry out a hypothesis test for a significant difference between the two population proportions, at significance level α = 0.05. The hypotheses being tested are: H 0: p 1 - p 2 = 0 H a: p 1 - p 2 ≠ 0.

The FAA believes that the number of on-time arrivals varies by airport, therefore, a randomized block design is used for the study. To control for this variation, they randomly select 100100 flights for each of the major airlines at each of four randomly selected airports and record the number of on-time flights. Can the FAA conclude that there is a significant difference among the average number of on-time arrivals for the four major airlines? The results of the study are as follows.
