Ive Ik the southeastern United States. The mice in populations that live near the white-sand beaches along the coast have light-colored fur. Mice in populations that live inland have dark-colored fur. Researchers created wooden models of the mice and painted half of the models to resemble light mice and half of the models to resemble dark mice. Models of both colors were randomly distributed on a beach habitat, and the number of times each color model was attacked by visual predators, such as hawks and owls, was recorded. The researchers determined the percent of attacks on each model color and presented their results in the graph.

[6] – Statistics Scenario #1A dog enthusiast wanted to see if there was a difference in pit-bull ownership between people in Arcata and Eureka. They obtained a list of registered dog owners from the city of Eureka and the city of Arcata, then they randomly selected people from each list until they had 150 responses from Arcata and 150 responses from eureka. The total number of people from Arcata who reported having a pit-bull was 33. The total number from Eureka was 40 (c) Was the researchers sampling method biased, if so, what kind of bias?(d) Is the data qualitative, quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete? e) What statistical test should be performed to test the hypothesis?
The Women’s Institutional Studies group at a Midwestern university wanted to compare the percentages of female faculty members in the various units on campus in Spring 2004. Of particular interest were the percentages of female faculty in the College of Education and in the College of Business . In a sample of 80 College of Education faculties, there were 36 females, and in a sample of 70 College of Business faculties, there were 15 females. Based upon this sample information, which of the following is the 98% confidence interval for the difference in the actual percentages of female faculty between College of Education and College of Business ? a. (0.075, 0.405). b. (0.123, 0.357). c. (-0.012, 0.252). d. (0.058, 0.422). e. (0.101, 0.379).
StarHortons Cup, the coffee company, wants to determine how long caffeine lasts throughout the day when individuals have a cup of one of their 3 types of coffee at 9am. They will then measure the levels of caffeine in these individuals’ systems at 10am, 12am, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm. They want to have at least 20 observations per group. How many separate/distinct groups of participants are needed if they want to conduct this experiment using a mixed-measures ANOVA? 18 6 20 3
Human blood is classified by the presence or absence of three main antigens (A, B, and Rh). When a blood specimen is typed, the presence of the A and/or B antigen is indicated by listing the letter A and/or the letter B. If neither the A nor the B antigen is present, the letter O is used.The following table gives the percent of a certain country's population having each of the eight possible blood types in the sample space. Note that the presence or absence of the Rh antigen is indicated by the symbols + or −, respectively. Blood Types A+ A− B+ B− AB+ AB− O+ O− Percent 35.7 6.3 9.5 2.5 3.4 0.8 37.2 4.6 (a) What is the probability that a person selected randomly from the population has a blood type that is type O or Rh+?(b) What is the probability that a person selected randomly from the population has a blood type that contains the A antigen?(c) What is the probability that a person selected randomly from the population has a blood type that is type AB or Rh−?
This semester, we have talked about creating random samples as well as desirable qualities of random samples. Other than randomness, one quality of random samples that we have talked about is representation. Using your knowledge of that concept, consider this problem. At a college, 29% of the students are in their first year, 27% are in their second year, 25% in their third, and 19% in their fourth. You take a survey of students and when you classify them by year of study, you have 49, 70, 56, and 25 students in their first, second, third, and fourth years respectively. The table below highlights this information. Year of School First Second Third Fourth Total College Percents Sample Counts Expected Counts 27% 70 25% 56 29% 19% 49 25 200 58 54 50 38 Under the assumption that we think the college enrollment percentages should match our sample, and that therefore our sample represents the college: a) What would the critical value be? (use a = 0.05) b) Find the test statistic to test (c)…
The majority of clothing retailers use mannequins to display their merchandise, with approximately one‑third displaying mannequins with heads and two‑thirds displaying mannequins without heads. Researchers recruited 126 female participants and assigned each to one of the two mannequin styles (head/headless). Participants were asked to imagine that they wanted to buy a new dress and told to go to a named store to make their purchase. They then viewed the dress displayed on a mannequin (head or headless) and were asked whether or not they would buy the dress. Of the 63 participants viewing the dress displayed on a mannequin with a head, 18 indicated that they would buy the dress, while only 10 of the 63 participants viewing the headless mannequin indicated that they would buy the dress. SOLVE : Are the conditions met to carry out the desired hypothesis test? One observed count of a success, namely the women who would buy a dress after seeing it on a headless mannequin, is ten,…
Does the location of your seat in a classroom play a role in attendance or grade? 1600 students in a physics course were randomly assigned to one of four groups. The 400 students in group 1 sat 0 to 4 meters from the front of the class, the 400 students in group 2 sat 4 to 6.5 meters from the front, the 400 students in group 3 sat 6.5 to 9 meters from the front, and the 400 students in group 4 sat 9 to 12 meters from the front. Complete parts (a) through (c). Click the icon to view the chi-square table of critical values. (a) For the first half of the semester, the attendance for the whole class averaged 83%. So, if there is no effect due to seat location, we would expect 83% of students in each group to attend. The data show the attendance history for each group. How many students in each group attended, on average? Is there a significant difference among the groups in attendance patterns? 3 4 Group Attendance 1 0.84 0.84 0.84 0.80 The number of students who attended in the first…
Part 1: The state of Maryland's arrest rate for marijuana possession in 2010 was the fourth highest in the nation. Public records for that year show that police arrested one out of every 250 Maryland residents for possession of marijuana. In addition, while Black people only comprised 30% of the State's population in 2010, 58% of those arrested for marijuana possession were Black. Use the following labels for events describing Maryland residents in the year 2010. M-AMP: Maryland resident was arrested for marijuana possession M-B: Maryland resident was a Black person a) What is the probability that a Maryland resident was arrested for marijuana possession in 2010? b) Use probability notation to express the cited percent values. 30% = P( 58% = P( c) Which of the values cited should be compared to determine whether race and arrests for marijuana possession in the state of Maryland in 2010 are independent?
A basketball coach is interested in determining if shooting free throws underhand is better than shooting them using the overhead method. He has four high school teams (two boys' teams and two girls' teams, with 13 players on each team) available to take part in an experiment. He believes that the difference in shooting percentages will vary more for boys than for girls. He randomly chooses and instructs half of the boys to continue shooting free throws overhead and the rest of the boys to shoot underhand. He does the same for the girls. At the end of a six-game summer league, he compares the shooting percentages for the overhead shooting boys to the underhand shooting boys and the overhead shooting girls to the underhand shooting girls. (a) What is the advantage of using a block design for this study? O Blocking by gender will reduce the variation in the response variable by creating homogeneous groups and determining the effect of the new shooting style on the response (percentage of…
