- The Monterey Bay Aquarium, founded in 1984, is situated on the beautiful coast of Monterey Bay in the historic Cannery Row district. In 1985, the aquarium began a survery program that involved randomly sampling visitors as they exit for the day. The survey includes visitor demographic information, use of social media, and opinions on their aquarium visit. In 2015, the survey included 356356 visitors over age 6565 , of which 5252 used a mobile device such as an Android phone or iPad during their visit. (b) How large a sample ?n , is needed to get the common ±3±3 percentage point margin of error? Use the 2015 sample as a pilot study to get ?∗p∗ .

Through open records, you are able to collect from several high schools the length of suspensions given to kids for fighting along with the race/ethnicity of the child. The state of Texas divides school children into one of 7 race/ethnicity groups: African American, American Indian, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, White, or Multiracial. You want to compare the average length of suspension among these 7 groups. Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference in the severity of punishment among the different groups? one-sample t-test related samples t-test independent samples t-test ANOVAarrow_forwardSuppose you just graduated with an accounting degree and are trying to choose an accounting firm to begin your career. You spent hours researching many firms and have narrowed your search down to three (i.e. Aguilar, Brown and Cheng). You have surveyed accountants to determine if the average incomes at each firm are equal between each of your top three choices. Obviously you want to join the firm with the highest average pay. Below are a sample of salaries (i.e. eight individuals from each firm) enabling you to test the hypothesis that the average pay (in thousands of $) is equal between employers. Use Fisher's LSD procedure (if necessary) to test whether there is a significant difference between any of the firms.

- A study in 2001, asked 792 college-age kids if they are attending a college and whether at least one of their parents had a college degree. Out of 445 college students, 214 stated that their parents did not have a college degree, and out of 347 teens not enrolled in a college, 298 indicated that their parents did not have a college degree. We would like to determine if the proportion of parents with no college-degree for teens who are not enrolled in a college is the same as that for teens who are enrolled in a college. 20.State the null and alternative hypothesis for this investigation in complete sentences and as mathematical equations. 21.

- Please help explaining how to answer so I can study for my test. The Farm Program for the Montana State Department of Agriculture needs to choose a sample of farms in order to collect information about land utilization. Montana has 56 counties and the 26,800 farms across the state are currently categorized by county. The program would like to select a random sample of at least 112 farms and record the total acreage and the acreage used for pasture and range for each farm in the sample. Two plans have been proposed: Plan A: The program will randomly select 10 counties from the 56 counties. All farms within the 10 selected counties will be visited by a surveyor who will calculate the total acreage and acreage used for pasture and range. Plan B: The program will randomly select 2 farms from each county. All 112 selected farms will be visited by a surveyor who will calculate the total acreage and acreage used for pasture and range.

One study of this idea first established that the type of music most preferred by black college students is R&B and that white college students' most preferred music is rock. Will students hosting a small group of other students choose music that matches the makeup of the people attending? Assign 9090 black business students at random to three equal‑sized groups. Do the same for 9696 white students. Each student sees a picture of the people he or she will host. Group 1 sees six blacks, Group 2 sees three whites and three blacks, and Group 3 sees six whites. Ask how likely the host is to play the type of music preferred by the other race. Use ANOVA to compare the three groups to see whether the racial mix of the gathering affects the choice of music.arrow_forwardA statistics teacher asked two different students, Lexie and Jennifer, to go to Wegmans and sample 30 shoppers each. The population of interest for both people can be defined as, “People who shop at the Johnson City, NY Wegmans store”. Here is what each person did to collect their sample: Lexie: She stood outside at the entrance to the store on 3 different days and times and surveyed every 15th person to walk by her. She surveyed 10 people each time to get her 30. Jennifer: She went to Wegmans after her nursing shift first thing Wednesday morning to buy deodorant since she ran out. When she was in the pharmacy area she surveyed all the people around her and then, to get up to 30 surveys, she went to the health food section and surveyed everyone she was there. Identify at least 2 specific reasons why Lexie’s approach is more likely to give a representative sample. Consider sources of bias, or types of shoppers who might be excluded by Jennifer’s approach.…arrow_forward
