Chapter 12 A sports statistician working at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) is interested in seeing whether the number of home/visiting team losses is dependent on the sport. To test this, the statistician chose to analyze CSUF's football, basketball, soccer, and baseball teams. The statistician randomly selected games for each of the sports over the years and recorded the number of home team losses and visiting team losses for each. The data is given in the table below. Test the claim that the number of home team and visiting team losses is dependent on the sport. Find the P-Value. Football Basketball Soccer Baseball Home Team Losses 39 156 25 83 Visiting Team Losses 31 98 19 75 O 0.618 O 0.349 O 2.8 x E-6 O 0.197

A group of statisticians decides they will answer the question:  Has the wolf reintroduction to Yellowstone been detrimental to elk herds in the park?  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)?

A researcher conducts an experiment to test whether memory changes with age. They recruited 24 participants separated into four age  groups. The groups differ according to the age of subjects. In group one, all participants are 30 years old. Group 2, 40 years old. Group 3, 50 years old. And group 4, 60 years old. Assume that the participants are all in good health and that the groups are matched on other important variables  such as years of education, IQ, gender, motivation, and so on. Each participant is shown a series of nonsense syllables ( a meaningless combination of three letters such as Daf or FUM ) at a rate of one syllable every four seconds. The series is shown twice, after which participants are asked to write down as many of the syllables as they can remember. Below is number of syllables remembered by each participant. 30 years old 14 13 15 17 12 10 40 years old 12 15 16 11 12 18 50 years old 17  14 14 9 13 15 60 years old 13 10 7 8 6 9 what is the alternative and null…

A researcher uses an anonymous survey to track the number of salmon caught in Gaspe.  Based on a set of 115 surveys distributed to a select few of the many hundreds of anglers who fished Gaspe, it was determined that anglers caught an average of 2.3 salmon per week.  For this study, the average of 2.3 salmon per week is an example of which one   statistic parameter. population sample

Suppose we are interested in comparing the proportion of male students who smoke to the proportion of female students who smoke. We have a random sample of 150 students (60 males and 90 females) that includes two variables: Smoke = "yes" or "no" and Gender = "female (F)" or "male (M)". The two-way table below summarizes the results. Smoke = Yes Smoke = No Sample Size 60 90 Gender = M Gender = F Reference: 3-15-No Tech 9 9 51 81 Describe how to use the data to construct a bootstrap distribution. What value should be recorded for each of the bootstrap samples.

A researcher believes that there may be a negative association between the quantity of fertilizer used and the percentage of the population who live in rural areas in different countries. The data below shows the percentage of the population who live in rural areas and the fertilizer use measured in kg per hectare, for a random sample of 11 countries. 33%= 76kg, 6%=44kg, 58%= 6kg, 35%=68kg, 81%=3kg, 69%=10kg, 61%=7kg, 7%=176kg,74%=5kg, 71%=137kg, 17%=157kg Use the Spearman's rank order coefficient method to affirm or disagree with the researchers assumption.

The World Bank collects information on the life expectancy of a person in each country ("Life expectancy at," 2013) and the fertility rate per woman in the country ("Fertility rate," 2013). The data for 12 randomly selected countries for the year 2011 are shown in the table below. Table: Data of Fertility Rates versus Life Expectancy   Fertility Rate Life Expectancy 1.7 77 5.8 55 2.2 70 2.1 76 1.8 75 2.0 78 2.6 73 1.5 81 6.9 54 2.9 72 4.7 63 6.8 57 The most commonly used type of correlation is Pearson correlation, named after Karl Pearson, introduced around the turn of the 20th century. Pearson's r measures the linear relationship between two variables, say X and Y. Find the Pearson’s correlation coefficient for the above data In reference to the calculated correlation coefficient above, describe the strength of the correlation. Briefly give an explanation to meaning of the above results. Obtain the…

Investigation 3.2: Valence Differences Between R&B and Rap Genres (Paired)A music fan claims that R&B songs tend to have a more positive tone on average than do Rapsongs. The individual collected two independent random samples from the population of SpotifySongs. Fifteen R&B songs and another fifteen Rap songs were collected and their Valence wasrecorded. The music fan believed that pairing the song by their Danceability may provideadditional information. Danceability describes how suitable a track is for dancing based on acombination of musical elements including tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overallregularity. A value of 0.0 is least danceable and 1 is most danceable. Thus, the individual pairedthe R&B song with the lowest danceability with the Rap song with the lowest danceability,followed by the second and second, third and third. She continued this process until the R&Bsong with the highest danceability was paired with the Rap song with the…

Which set of data would probably show a strong positive linear correlation? a) the number of defective light bulbs produced and the time of the day when they were manufactured b) marks on a history test and the heights of the students c) the colour of cars sold and the annual income of the car buyers d) the height of corn in a field and the amount of precipitation during the growing season
