Question
The Golden Comet is a hybrid chicken that is prized for its high egg production rate and gentle disposition. According to recent studies, the mean rate of egg production for 1-year-old Golden Comets is 5.6 eggs/week.
Sarah has 41 1-year-old hens that are fed exclusively on natural scratch feed: insects, seeds, and plants that the hens obtain as theyrange freely around the farm. Her hens exhibit a mean egg-laying rate of 5.9 eggs/day.
Sarah wants to determine whether the mean laying rate μ for her hens is higher than the mean rate for all Golden Comets. Assume the population standard deviation to be eggs/day. Compute the value of the test statistic.

A violent crime is classified by the FBI as murder, forcible rape, robbery, or aggravated assault. The first two columns of Data set 1 give a relative-frequency distribution for (reported) violent crimes in the year 2010. A random sample of 500 violent-crime reports from last year yielded the frequency distribution shown in the first and third columns of Data set 1. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that last year's violent-crime distribution is different from the 2010 distribution?

While obesity has generally been linked with chronic disease and disability, researchers argue that it may also affect wages. In other words, the body mass index (BMI) of an employee is a predictor for salary. (A person is considered overweight if his/her BMI is at least 25 and obese if BMI exceeds 30.) The accompanying data file includes salary (in $1,000s) for 30 college-educated men with their respective BMI and a dummy variable that represents 1 for a white man and 0 otherwise.

- Serum estradiol is an important risk factor for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. To better understand the etiology of breast cancer, serum-estradiol samples were collected from 25 premenopausal women (at about the same time period of the menstrual cycle) of whom 10 were Caucasian and 15 were African American. The data are shown in Table 7.3. The distribution of serum estradiol is usually highly skewed (especially for premenopausal women), and we are reluctant to assume normality.

In fact, the Monday after Thanksgiving has been nicknamed “Cyber Monday” because of the large increase in online purchases that occurs on that day. Data from a large-scale survey by a market research firm (Detroit Free Press, November 26, 2005) was used to compute estimates of the percent of men and women who shop online while at work. The resulting estimates probably won’t make most employers happy—42% of the men and 32% of the women in the sample were shopping online at work! Are the estimates given computed using data from a sample or for the entire population?arrow_forward
- The table below shows the number of state-registered automatic weapons and the murder rate for several states in the U.S. 11.6 8.4 6.7 3.5 2.7 2.7 2.2 0.9 14.1 11.3 9.9 6.8 6.2 6.3 5.8 I = thousands of automatic weapons y = murders per 100,000 residents Keep in mind, the data in the table do not necessarily imply a direct causal link between the two variables. (In fact, can you think of any reasons why these variables may not be directly related to each other?) Also, the purpose of this question is not to make a political statement about guns or gun control. It's only to illustrate that data such as these sometimes have mathematical relationships that can be modeled with linear equations. Those relationships should always be questioned and examined carefully. With that said, these data can be modeled by the equation y = 0.87z + 3.95. Use this equation to answer the following; A) If this model is oconsistent, how many murders per 100,000 residents can be expected in a state with 8.7…arrow_forwardRead the scenario below to determine which one of the time threats to internal validity (test reactivity, instrumentation, history, and maturation) is of most concern, and provide one way to control for the threat.

- Businesses know that customers often respond to background music. Do they also respond to odors? One study of this question took place in a small pizza restaurant in France on two Saturday evenings in May. On one of these evenings, a relaxing lavender odor was spread through the restaurant. On the other evening no scent was used. The data gives the time, in minutes, that two samples of 30 customers spent in the restaurant and the amount they spent in euros. No odor Lavender Minutes Euros spent Minutes Euros spent 103103 15.915.9 9292 21.921.9 6868 18.518.5 126126 18.518.5 7979 15.915.9 114114 22.322.3 106106 18.518.5 106106 21.921.9 7272 18.518.5 8989 18.518.5 121121 21.921.9 137137 24.924.9 9292 15.915.9 9393 18.518.5 8484 15.915.9 7676 22.522.5 7272 15.915.9 9898 21.521.5 9292 15.915.9 108108 21.921.9 8585 15.915.9 124124 21.521.5 6969 18.518.5 105105 18.518.5 7373 18.518.5 129129 25.525.5 8787 18.518.5 103103 18.518.5 109109 20.520.5 107107…arrow_forwardInvestigation 3.2: Valence Differences Between R&B and Rap Genres (Paired)A music fan claims that R&B songs tend to have a more positive tone on average than do Rapsongs. The individual collected two independent random samples from the population of SpotifySongs. Fifteen R&B songs and another fifteen Rap songs were collected and their Valence wasrecorded. The music fan believed that pairing the song by their Danceability may provideadditional information. Danceability describes how suitable a track is for dancing based on acombination of musical elements including tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overallregularity. A value of 0.0 is least danceable and 1 is most danceable. Thus, the individual pairedthe R&B song with the lowest danceability with the Rap song with the lowest danceability,followed by the second and second, third and third. She continued this process until the R&Bsong with the highest danceability was paired with the Rap song with the…arrow_forwardIn a population-based cohort study, an entire community was interviewed regarding smoking habits and then followed for one year.
