Chapter 10.2, Problem 10.9ACB
Museum management. Refer to the Museum Management and Curatorship (June 2010) worldwide survey of 30 leading museums of contemporary art, Exercise 2.14 (p. 50). Recall that each museum manager was asked to provide the performance measure used most often for internal evaluation. A summary of the results is provided in the table (next column). The data were analyzed using a chi-square test for a multinomial experiment. The results are shown in the Minitab printout on the previous page.
Minitab output for Exercise 10.9
| Performance Measure | Number of Museums |
| Total visitors | 8 |
| Paying visitors | 5 |
| Big shows | 6 |
| Funds raised | 7 |
| Members | 4 |
- a. Is there evidence to indicate that one performance measure is used more often than any of the others? Test using α = .10.
- b. Find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of museums worldwide that use total visitors as their performance measure. Interpret the result.

In a study aimed at creating reference values, abdominal circumference (measured in cm) was measured in adult men. It was found that the relationship to age could be described as abdominal circumference = 82 + 0.3 x age
a) What is the analysis that produces such a formula called?
b) At what age is the average abdominal circumference 100 cm?
A researcher investigated whether a father's level of optimism was predictive of his son's optimism as a young adult. Twenty (20) fathers and sons who agreed to participate in the study were administered a scale measuring their current level of optimism (the scale ranged from 10 to 50), with higher scores indicating greater optimism.
Recently the European Community (EC) decided to lower its subsidies to makers of pasta. In deciding by what amount to reduce total subsidies, experiments were carried out for determining the possible reduction in exports, mainly to the United States, that would result from the subsidy reduction. Over a small range of values, economists wanted to test whether there is a positive correlation between level of subsidy and level of exports. A computer simulation of the economic variables involved in the pasta exports market was carried out. The results follow. Assuming that the simulation is an accurate description of reality and that the values obtained may be viewed as a random sample of the populations of possible outcomes, state whether you believe that a positive rank correlation exists between subsidy level and exports level over the short range of values studied Q

- UBC coaching center has two branches in Dhaka: one in Dhanmondi (Branch A) and another one in Mohammadpur (Branch B). To understand their students' performance, the coaching center conducts the same test in both branches. A sample of 8 students have been selected from branches A and B respectively, and the following table shows data on their performance. Use appropriate non-parametric methods on the data to find out whether there is a statistically significant correlation between the ranks of the students’ performance of the two branches.?arrow_forwardManufacturers of tires report that car tires should be able to last an average of 50,000 miles. A new tire company produces a different type of tread and tests 100 randomly selected tires. This sample of 100 tires lasted an average of 51,500 miles. Assuming the new type of tread does not improve the mileage of the tire, 200 sample means were simulated and displayed on the dotplot. Simulated Tire Mileage +++ +++H 47,000 48,000 49,000 50,000 51,000 52,000 53,000 Mean mileage Using the dotplot and the sample mean mileage, is there convincing evidence that the new type of tread improves the mileage of the tire? Yes, because a mean mileage of 51,500 or more occurred only 14 out of 200 times, the mean mileage is statistically significant. There is convincing evidence the new type of tire tread improves mileage of the tire.

- What sampling technique is used? In a research class of 40 students, the teacher divides the class into five groups, each with eight members per group. The teacher then asked the class to choose their group members based on interests, compatibility, and rapport. After the selection was made, the teacher realized that the abilities per group were uneven. He then reshuffled some members of the group to achieve equilibrium among the groups. The teacher needs ten students to represent each group. He selected one male and one female from each group based on academic performance, leadership skills, and social skills as qualities that will embody as representatives per group.arrow_forward7. A television station wishes to study the relationship between viewership of its 11 p.m. news program and viewer age (18 years or less, 19 to 35, 36 to 54, 55 or older). A sample of 250 television viewers in each age group is randomly selected, and the number who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news is found for each sample.

In order to assess the attitudes of employees of the company towards this change a sample of 250 employees was selected and asked whether they favor the institution of self-managed teams. Three responses were allowed: favor, neutral or oppose.

- Allegiant Airlines is considering an overbooking policy for one of its flights. The airplane has 50 seats, but Allegiant is considering accepting more reservations than seats because sometimes passengers do not show up for their flights, resulting in empty seats. The PassengerAppearance worksheet in the file Overbooking contains data on 1,000 passengers showing whether or not they showed up for their respective flights. In addition, Allegiant has conducted a field experiment to gauge the demand for reservations for the current flight. During this experiment, they did not limit the number of reservations for the flight to observe the uncensored demand. The following table summarizes the result of the field experiment.

The total costs of housing for homeowners might include mortgages payments, property taxes, and utility costs (water, heat, electricity). An economist selected a sample of Inland Empire, California, homeowners and calculated housing costs as a percent of monthly income, 5 years ago and now. The information is reported below. Is it reasonable to conclude the percent is less now than 5 years ago? Apply the 6-step hypothesis testing procedure to test using a = 5% (0.05).

Wine scores range from 0 to 100, with a score of 95 – 100 indicating a great wine, 90 – 94 indicating an outstanding wine, 85 – 89 indicating a very good wine, 80 – 84 indicating a good wine, 75 - 79 indicating a mediocre wine, and below 75 indicating that the wine is not recommended.
