At a certain driver's license testing station, only 40% of all new drivers pass the behind‑the‑wheel test the first time they take it. A sample of 50 new drivers from a certain high school found that 36% of them had passed the test the first time. Which of these numbers is a parameter? 50 40% 36%

A population of middle school students contains 160 sixth graders, 180 seventh graders, and 140 eighth graders. Nine seventh graders were part of a random sample of the population chosen to participate in a survey. For the sample to accurately represent the population, about how many sixth graders should be chosen? 7 8 14 16

Determine whether the study is an experiment or an observational​ study, and then identify a major problem with the study.   In a​ survey, 1465 Internet users chose to respond to this question posted on a​ newspaper's electronic​ edition: "Is news online as satisfying as print and TV​ news?" 52% of the respondents said​ "yes."   This is an ________________observational study experiment because the researchers________________________ apply a treatment to do not attempt to modify the individuals.         What is a major problem with the​ study?     A. The sample is not very large.   B. There is no blinding or​ replication, which has a high chance of leading to bias.   C. The results apply only to Internet users.   D. This is a convenience sample with voluntary​ response, which has a high chance of leading to bias.

Determine whether the study depicts an observational study or an experiment. A medical researcher obtains a sample of adults suffering from diabetes. She randomly assigns 52 people to a treatment group and 52 to a placebo group. The treatment group receives a medication over a period of three months and the placebo group receives a placebo over the same time frame. At the end of three months the patients' symptoms are evaluated. experiment observational study

Hypnosis. A sample of 100 people was separated into children and adults. The members of each group were randomly assigned to two different hypnosis exercises. The responses of each person were recorded at the completion of the experiment

cording to a job website, each job opening on average attracted 251 résumés in 2016. The job market improved in 2017 compared to 2016, which means that more people will likely be switching jobs but also fewer nemploved workers remain in the job market. To find out which trend is stronger, a random sample of 20 employers in a region was taken. Each employer reported how many résumés they received in 2017 for each b opening. Their answers are shown in the accompanying table. Using a = 0.10, complete parts a through d. Click the icon to view the data on résumés received, a. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Determine the null hypothesis, Ho, and the alternative hypothesis, H,. Job Opening Data Ho: H = 251 * 251 210 208 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) 219 251 b. Does this sample provide enough evidence to suggest that the number of résumés that were received in 2017 has 207 185 270 220 Identify the critical value. 283 225 205 232 217 206 (Round to two decimal places as…

In a study assessing helping behavior among college students on their way to class, you recruit 10 students. You tell some participants that they are late for class and need to rush. You tell others they are right on time. Finally, you tell others they have lots of time before class. As they walk across campus, they come across a man (actually a confederate) who appears to need help. You measure the extent to which the participant noticed that the confederate needed help (1 = did not notice to 9 = really noticed). Which hypothesis test would you calculate? F test Independent sample t-test z test Dependent sample t-test

A television station wishes to study the relationship between viewership of its 11 p.m. news program and viewer age (18 years or less, 19 to 35, 36 to 54, 55 or older). A sample of 250 television viewers in each age group is randomly selected, and the number who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news is found for each sample. The results are given in the table below.      Age Group     Watch11 p.m. News? 18 or less 19 to 35 36 to 54 55 or Older Total Yes 37 46 59 83 225 No 213 204 191 167 775 Total 250 250 250 250 1,000     (a) Let p1, p2, p3, and p4 be the proportions of all viewers in each age group who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news. If these proportions are equal, then whether a viewer watches the station’s 11 p.m. news is independent of the viewer’s age group. Therefore, we can test the null hypothesis H0 that p1, p2, p3, and p4 are equal by carrying out a chi-square test for independence. Perform this test by setting α = .05. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)…

A random sample of 10 compact cars, 10 mid-size cars, and 10 luxury cars were selected. The time (in seconds) each of the randomly selected cars required to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph was looked up on the Autos.com website. The results are presented below. Car Type Time       (in seconds) Required to Accelerate from 0 to 60 mph Compact                9.3 8.1 10.2 8.8 9.0 9.3 7.7 9.2 9.4 8.6 Mid-Size                6.9 5.7 8.3 7.7 8.6 5.9 6.1 8.8 6.1 7.2 Luxury                   5.7 6.3 5.4 4.7 6.2 7.0 5.9 5.3 6.3 5.0 Conduct a hypothesis test using ! = 0.05 to determine whether the mean time required to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph is the same for compact, mid-size, and luxury cars. (No accounting or excel, I need help solving it.)
