Question

Transcribed Image Text:The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics releases numbers on the number of full-time
wage and salary workers with flexible schedules. The numbers of full-time wage and
salary workers in each age category are almost uniformly distributed by age, with ages
ranging from 18 to 65 years. If a worker with a flexible schedule is randomly drawn
from the U.S. work force:
(a) What is the height of this distribution? Draw the density curve
(a) What is the probability that he or she will be older than 35 years of age?

- 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.

(b) Describe the overall shape of the distribution: Is it roughly symmetric, skewed to the right, or skewed to the left? Are there any outliers? (c) Is the five-number summary or the mean and standard deviation a better brief summary for this distribution? Explain your choice. Calculate the one of these summaries that you choose.arrow_forward

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
