You're a sociologist studying whether grocery prices are different in the inner cities than they are in the suburbs. To investigate this, you pick a random set of items (a basket of goods), and then send shoppers to buy these items at an inner city (IC) grocery, and also at a suburban (SU) grocery. You pick 27 different baskets of goods, so your secret shoppers buy 27 baskets, once at the inner city store, and once at a suburban store. The data is given in the dataset named "ICvSU_2799.xls", which you can find in data folder under Course Documents. Prices could be higher in the inner city because of discrimination, or they could be higher in the suburbs because of the greater disposable income. Use Excel to test the research hypothesis that inner city prices are different than the suburb's prices. The null hypothesis is that inner city prices are equal to suburban prices. You test at the alpha = 0.01 significance level. What do you conclude? Are prices the same? Who has higher…

Q1) Below find the records of 12 randomly selected used pickup trucks (none used commercially) and 11 randomly selected used passenger cars, the time (in years) that they were kept by the original owner before being sold: Used pickup trucks | 3 | 2.5 2.9 5 4.2 3.1 3.3 4 5.3 3.8 4.5 Used passenger cars | 2.2 3 2.8 4.3 4 3.3 2.9 2.1 2 3.1 3 It is known that the standard deviation of used pickup trucks is 2 years and of used passenger cars is 1 year. (a) Investigate, at the 5% significant level, whether the mean time (in years) that used pickup trucks were kept by the original owner before sold is larger than used passenger cars. (b) What assumption is needed to perform the test in (a). (c) Construct the 96% confidence interval for the mean difference of time (in years) were kept by the original owner before sold between used passenger cars and used pickup trucks. Use this confidence interval to tell whether there is difference in the mean time (in years) between these 2 tynes of…
Of 1,050 randomly selected adults, 360 identified themselves as manual laborers, 280 identified themselves as non-manual wage earners, 250 identified themselves as midlevel managers, and 160 identified themselves as executives. In the survey, 82% of manual laborers preferred trucks, 62% of non-manual wage earners preferred trucks, 54% of mid-level managers preferred trucks, and 26% of executives preferred trucks. Which distribution should you use for this problem?
A skin patch contains a new drug to help people quit smoking. A group of 75 cigarette smokers have volunteered as subjects to test the new skin patch. For one month, 40 of the volunteers receive skin patches with the new drug. The other volunteers receive skin patches with no drugs. At the end of the two months, each subject is surveyed regarding his or her current smoking habits. (Select all that apply.) a) No placebo is being used.b) Then record the smoking habits of all volunteers to see if a difference exists between the two groups.c) Then record the smoking habits of the 40 volunteers to see if a difference exists between the two groups.d) Use random selection to pick 40 volunteers for the skin patch with the drug.e) Use random selection to pick 35 volunteers for the skin patch with the drug.f) A placebo patch is used for the remaining 35 volunteers in the second group.g) Then record the smoking habits of the 35 volunteers to see if a difference exists between the two groups.
When planning a date night, you have a choice of 2 types of restaurants: pizza (P) or barbeque (B); a choice of 4 types of movies: romantic comedy (R), action/adventure (A), drama (D), or foreign film (F); and a choice of 2 types of post-movie activities: grabbing coffee (C) or getting ice cream (I). If you are choosing only one of each, list the sample space in regard to the dates (combinations of restaurants, movies, and post-movie activities) you could pick from.
The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 69.5% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly pick eight first-time, full-time freshmen from the survey. You are interested in the number that believes that same sex-couples should have the right to legal marital status. Let the random variable X= the number that reply "yes", X∼B(8,0.695). (a) Construct the probability distribution function (PDF).
b) A certain pay television company wishes to estimate the proportion of its customers who would purchase a pay television program guide. To do this, the company manager decides to select a random sample of customers and note the number who would purchase a program guide. Suppose that experience in other areas suggests that about 13% of customers will purchase a program guide. How many customers should the company manager include in his sample if he wishes to estimate the true proportion who will purchase the program guide correct to within 5% (0.05) with a confidence level of 95%?
A research paper describes an experiment in which 74 men were assigned at random to one of four treatments. 1. viewed slides of fit, muscular men 2. viewed slides of fit, muscular men accompanied by diet and fitness-related text 3. viewed slides of fit, muscular men accompanied by text not related to diet and fitness 4. did not view any slides The participants then went to a room to complete a questionnaire. In this room, bowls of pretzels were set out on the tables. A research assistant noted how many pretzels were consumed by each participant while completing the questionnaire. Data consistent with summary quantities given in the paper are given in the following table. Treatment 1 9 6 4 13 1 2 5 9 12 5 2 0 7 4 10 6 0 11 Treatment 2 Treatment 3 7 8 0 3 9 8 7 1 6 8 8 5 13 9 0 7 4 11 5 7 10 8 7 1 10 2 5 1 0 3 0 3 4 4 5 5 6 8 4 0 7 3 Treatment 4 5 2 5 7 5 2 0 0 4 3 2 3 1 1 Do these data provide convincing evidence that the means for the numbers of pretzels consumed are not the same for…
Suppose we know that at a University XYZ that 30% of students receive an A in their introductory statistics class, 30% receive a B, 20% receive a C, 10% receive a D, and 10% receive an F. For comparison, a sample of 300 students at University ABC is taken and 20% received an A, 28% received a B, 26% received a C, 15% received a D, and the remaining students failed the class. When testing (at the 5% level of significance) whether the proportions between the two universities are different, what is the null and alternative hypotheses
