- Suppose that insurance companies did a survey. They randomly surveyed 410 drivers and found that 350 claimed they always buckle up. We are interested in the population proportion of drivers who claim they always buckle up.
- note: If you are using a Student's t-distribution, you may assume that the underlying population is
normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.
- Which distribution should be used for the problem? (state distribution)

- An amusement park keeps track of the percentage of individuals with season passes according to age category. An independent tourist company would like to show that this distribution of age category for individuals buying season passes is different from what the amusement park claims. The tourist company randomly sampled 200 individuals entering the park with a season pass and recorded the number of individuals within each age category. Age Category Child (under 13 years old) Teen (13 to 19 years old) Adult (20 to 55 years old) Senior (56 years old and over) Number of Individuals 56 86 44 14 The tourist company will use the data to test the amusement park’s claim, which is reflected in the following null hypothesis. H0:pchild=0.23H0:pchild=0.23, pteen=0.45pteen=0.45, padult=0.20padult=0.20, and psenior=0.12psenior=0.12. What inference procedure will the company use to investigate whether or not the distribution of age category for individuals with season passes is…arrow_forwardA scientist claims that pneumonia causes weight loss in mice. The table shows the weights (in grams) of six mice before infection and two days after infection. At a= 0.10, is there enough evidence to support the scientist's claim?

Test forgoodness-of-fit with Benford's Law. Leading Digit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Benford's law: distribution of leading digits 30.1% 17.6% 12.5% 9.7% 7.9% 6.7% 5.8% 5.1% 4.6% When working for the Brooklyn District Attorney, investigator Robert Burton analyzed the leading digits of the amounts from 784 checks issued by seven suspect companies. The frequencies were found to be 0, 12, 0, 73, 482, 186, 8, 23, and 0, and those digits correspond to the leading digits of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, respectively. If the observed frequencies are substantially different from the frequencies expected with Benford's Law, the check amounts appear to result from fraud. Use a 0.05 significance level to test for goodness-of-fit with Benford's Law. What is the value…arrow_forward
- Histograms of random sample data are often used as an indication of the shape of the underlying population distribution. The histograms on the next page are based on random samples of size 30,50 and 100 from the same population. a. Using the midpoint labels of the three histograms, what would you say about the estimated range of population data from smallest to largest? Does the bulk of the data seem to be between 8 and 12 all in three histograms? b. The population distribution from which the samples were drawn is symmetric and mound shaped, with the top of the mound at 10,95% of the data between 8 and 12, and 99.7% of data between 7 and 13. How well does each histogram reflect these characteristics?arrow_forwardPlease answer the question in the photo. Thank you!arrow_forwardplease do " for this study, we should use....
