Lyme disease is spread in the northeastern United States by infected ticks. The ticks are infected mainly by feeding on mice, so more mice result in more infected ticks. The mouse population in turn rises and falls with the abundance of acorns, their favored food. Experimenters studied two similar forest areas in a year when the acorn crop failed. They added hundreds of thousands of acorns to one area to imitate an abundant acorn crop, while leaving the other area untouched. The next spring, 54 of the 72 mice trapped in the first area were in breeding condition, versus 10 of the 17 mice trapped in the second area. Estimate the difference between the proportions of mice ready to breed in good acorn years and bad acorn years. Let p1 and p2 be (respectively) the proportions of mice ready to breed in good acorn vears and t

College students at a local community college take an average of 3.3 years to complete an AA (only counting semesters when officially enrolled). A chancellor at a community college believes that the time to graduation could be high because of the large number of students who move out of their parents homes and move in with other students their age. He theorizes that students who move into their own apartments will party more, focus less on their studies, and have to spend more time earning money, which will make them take longer to graduate. To test his theory, the chancellor randomly selects 36 freshman who are planning to earn an AA and choosing to live in their own apartments while attending the college. The students in the sample took an average of 3.8 years to earn their AA (SS = 50.4). Is there sufficient evidence to indicate, at the 5% level of significance (two-tailed), that community college students who lived on their own took more time to earn an AA? Estimate Cohen's…
You are analyzing the number of bird species found in each county of Massachusetts. You have one observation per county, corresponding to the total number of species observed there during the Christmas Bird Count (a national bird count organized mainly by volunteers every year on Christmas). Your predictor variables are: population, percent forested habitat, number of highways that cross the county. What kind of model do you use to analyze these data? For the above model, you think there may be a non-linear effect of forest habitat based on the number of highways that cross the county, as this may cause the habitat to be more fragmented. You do not think there are any other non-linear effects. Assume "county" is a variable for which county the data comes from Assume "highways" is the number of highways in the county Assume "forest" is the percent of forested habitat Assume "population" is the population of the county Group of answer choices # species ~ county + highways *…
Terrariums are self-contained ecosystems inside a closed container. A local farmer produces terrariums for sale, but must wait for the plants in the terrarium to grow before she can sell them. On average, her terrariums take 24 days before they are ready to sell. She experiments with a new soil mixture, aiming to decrease the time it takes for the terrariums to be ready. In a sample of 7 terrariums with the new soil mixture, the farmer finds that the average time before they are ready is 20 days with a standard deviation of 3 days. In testing the hypotheses H_0 :μ=24 and Ha:μ<24, what is the value of the t-test statistic? Round your answer to three decimal places. Please show work!!!

A researcher's survey results indicate that about 50% of 12th graders consume less than 300g of vegetables at lunch, about 40% consume 300-600g, and only 10% of them consume more than 600g. A high school conducted a survey of student diets and health information, and reported data about 12th graders' vegetable intake at lunch is reported in the table photo. If researchers wants to find out whether the high school has the same proportions of 12th graders in the vegetable intake categories as reported by the survey, what would the appropiate test statistic be to use and why. Choosing between an ANOVA, Chi -Square independence tests, Chi Square Goodness of Fit, and One sample proportion test?
A study is run to evaluate the effectiveness of an exercise program in reducing systolic Ate blood pressure in patients with pre-hypertension. A total of 15 patients with pre- 12 hypertension enrolled in the study, and their systolic blood pressures are measured. Each patient then participated in an exercise training program where they learned proper techniques and execution of a series of exercises. Patients were instructed to do the exercise program three times per week for six weeks. After six weeks, systolic blood pressures were again measured, and data were recorded. This study sought to determine if there is a difference in systolic blood pressures after participating in the exercise program as compared to before. What is the most appropriate statistical test to be used to answer the research objectives? a. Spearman Correlation Coefficient b. Pearson Correlation Coefficient c. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test d. Mann-Whitney U Test
A manufacturing company is analyzing its accident record. The accidents fall intotwo categories: Minor—dealt with by first aider: Average cost k50 Major—hospital required. Average cost k1,000The company has 1,000 employees, of which 180 are office staff and the restwork in the factory.The analysis shows that 10% of employees have an accident each year and 20%of accidents are major. It is assumed that an employee has more than oneaccident in a year.(i) Determine the expected total cost of accidents in a year. On further analysis it is discovered that a member of office staff has half theprobability of having an accident relative those in the factory.(ii)Show that the probability that a given a member of office staff has anaccident in a year is 0.0549. (iii) Determine the probability that a randomly chosen employee who has hadan accident is office staff
In North America, between 100 million and 1 billion birds die each year by crashing into windows on buildings, more than any other human-related cause. This figure represents up to 5% of all birds in the area. One possible solution is to construct windows angled downward slightly, so that they reflect the ground rather than an image of the sky to a flying bird. An experiment by Klem et al. (2004) compared the number of birds that died as a result of vertical windows, windows angled 20 degrees off vertical, and windows angled 40 degrees off vertical. The angles were randomly assigned with equal probability to six windows and changed daily; assume for this exercise that windows and window locations were identical in every respect except angle. Over the course of the experiment, 30 birds were killed by windows in the vertical orientation, 15 were killed by windows set at 20 degrees off vertical, and 8 were killed by windows set at 40 degrees off vertical. . Clearly state an appropriate…
A quality control engineer studied the relationship between years of experience as a system control engineer and the capacity of the engineer to complete within a given time a complex control design including the debugging of all computer programs and control devices. A group of 25 engineers having widely differing amounts of experience (measured in months of experience) was given the same control design project. The results of the study are given in the following table with y 5 1 if the project was successfully completed in the allocated time and y 5 0 if the project was not successfully completed. a. Determine whether experience is associated with the probability of completing the task. b. Compute the probability of successfully completing the task for an engineer having
Rivers in North Carolina contain small concentrations of mercury that can accumulate in fish over their lifetimes. The concentration of mercury in fish tissue can be obtained by catching fish and sending samples to a lab for analysis. A study was conducted on fish from the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers to investigate mercury levels in tissues of largemouth bass. At several stations along each river a group of fish were caught, weighed and measured; in addition a filet from each fish was sent to a lab so that the tissue concentration of mercury could be determined. In all, 171 fish were caught at 15 different research stations along the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers. Data from fish caught at one of these stations is shown in the followinng table: length weight 1616 47.0 48.7 1862 2855 55.7 45.2 1199 1320 44.7 1225 43.8 870 38.5 1455 45.8 1220 44.0 1033 40.4 Compute the correlation between length and weight for these fish.

Sarah believes that completely cutting caffeine out of a person's diet will allow him or her more restful sleep at night. In fact, she believes that, on average, adults will have more than two additional nights of restful sleep in a four-week period after removing caffeine from their diets. She randomly selects 8 adults to help her test this theory. Each person is asked to consume two caffeinated beverages per day for 28 days, and then cut back to no caffeinated beverages for the following 28 days. During each period, the participants record the numbers of nights of restful sleep that they had. The following table gives the results of the study. Test Sarah's claim at the 0.05 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let the period before removing caffeine be Population 1 and let the period after removing caffeine be Population 2. Numbers of Nights of Restful Sleep in a Four-Week Period With Caffeine 24 22 24 20…
