Concept explainers

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

The London School of Economics and the Harvard Business School have conducted studies of how chief executive officers (CEOS) spend their time. These studies have found that CEOs spend many hours per week in meetings, not including conference calls, business meals, and public events (The Wall Street Journal). Shown below is the time spent per week in meetings (hours) for a sample of 25 CEOS. 20 20 23 15 19 a. What is the least amount of time spent per week on meetings?

The Bureau of Transportation reports on-time performance for airlines at major airports. JetBlue, United, and US Airways share Terminal C and Boston's Logan Airport. The percentage of on-time flights reported for a sample month were 76.8% for JetBlue, 71.5% for United, and 82.2% for US Airways. Assume that 30% of the arriving flights at this terminal are JetBlue flights, 32% are United flights, and 38% are US Airways flights. a. Develop a contingency table (table of joint probabilities and marginal probabilities). b. An announcement is made that Flight 1382 will arrive at Terminal C. What is the probability that the flight will arrive on time? c. Flight 1382 arrives on time. What is the probability that Flight 1382 is operated by US Airways? d. Flight 1382 will not arrive on time. What is the probability that Flight 1382 is operated by United?

A real estate agency, located in a metropolitan area in the northeastern U.S., kept data on the various types of properties purchased in the area. Historically, 15% of purchases were for condominiums, 30% were for townhouses, 40% for single family homes, 10% for commercial properties and 5% for land. With changing demographics, the agency wondered if the current distribution matches the historical distribution. Recent data showed the following: Type of Property Condos Townhouses Homes Commercial Land Frequency 89 121 78 25 12 Based on the historical distribution, we would expect how many homes to be purchased?

A campus researcher wanted to investigate the factors that affect visitor travel time in a complex, multilevel building on campus. Specifically, he wanted to determine whether different building signs (building maps versus wall signage) affect the total amount of time visitors require to reach their destination and whether that time depends on whether the starting location is inside or outside the building. Three subjects were assigned to each of the combinations of signs and starting locations, and travel time in seconds from beginning to destination was recorded. How should the data be analyzed? Wall Signs Map Starting Room Interior 141, 119, 238 85, 94, 126 Randomized block design O Completely randomized design 2 x 2 factorial design Levene's test Exterior 224, 339, 139 226, 129, 130
As a destination marketing director, you found that TV executives used the guideline that 25% of the viewers were watching Fox cable network, 22% watching NBC and CBS, and 19% watching ABC. The remaining 12% were watching other cable networks such as CNN and MSNBC on a weekday night. A random sample of 500 viewers in the D.C. metro area last Tuesday night showed 109 homes were tuned in to the Fox station, 125 homes tuning in to NBC affiliate, 100 homes tuning in to CBS affiliate and 81 homes tuning in to ABC affiliate. 85 homes were watching CNN and NSNBC cable stations. At the 0.05 significant level, can we conclude that the guideline is still reasonable?
Wegman’s (a food market chain) has developed a new store-brand brownie mix. Before they start selling the mix they want to compare how well people like their brownies to brownies made from a popular national brand mix. In order to see if there was any difference in consumer opinion, Wegman’s asked 124 shoppers to participate in a taste test. Each was given a brownie to try. Subjects were not told which kind of brownie they got—that was determined randomly. 58% of the 62 shoppers who tasted a Wegman’s brownie said liked it well enough to buy the mix, compared to 66% of the others who said they would be willing to buy the national brand. Does this result indicate that consumer interest in the Wegman’s mix is lower than for the national brand?

Apperson and Fitz is a chain of clothing stores that caters to high school and college students. It publishes a quarterly catalog and operates a Web site that features provocatively attired males and females. The Web site is very expensive to maintain, and company executives are not sure whether the number of hits at the site relate to sales (i.e., people may be looking at the site’s pictures only). The Web master has accumulated the following data for hits per month and orders placed at the Web site for the past 20 months: Develop a linear regression model for these data and indicate whether there appears to be a strong relationship between Web site hits and orders. What would be the forecast for orders with 50,000 hits per month?
