In a survey, 90 high school students were asked if they are currently enrolled in Biology or
Social Studies.
• 35 students are not enrolled in either course
• 25 students are enrolled in Biology
• 8 students are enrolled in Biology and Social Studies
Determine the number of students who are enrolled in Social Studies.
A survey of 1000 adult Internet users found that 55% of 18-to 24- year –olds, 60% of 25-to 34- year –olds, 64% of 35-to 49- year –olds, 78% of 50 – to- 64 year-olds, and 85% of 65 – to- 89-year-olds opposed online ads tailored to their individual interests. Supposed the survey was based on 200 respondents in each of the five age groups.
Construct the contingency table based on the information given.
Compute the expected frequencies for each cell.
Compute. Is there evidence of a significance difference among the age groups with respect to the proportion who preferred to use media social as the medium of communication? (Use α=0.01)
) A recent poll surveyed 1587 adults (18 years of age and older, residing in the contiguous United States, contacted by phone from randomly selected homes). Residents who agreed to participate were categorized according to their political party preference (Democrat, Republican or other) and their gender (male or female). To make life easier, we’ll focus on the responses from the south (37% of the sample or 588 people). Our question is about the “Gender Gap” in American politics (the gender gap is described as differences in voting preferences for men and women). Is voting preference independent of gender?

- Regarding the context regarding the coronavirus pandemic, see the table below, which refers to 5 groups of people infected with the coronavirus and the number of deaths in each group. a) Tiago, another person who observes the table, has a clinical look and makes the following statement for the fifth class of the table. "With certainty, 7 deaths occurred in a group with a number of infected greater than or equal to 80 and being less than or equal to 89 infected people." When you analyze this statement that James made, do you agree or disagree? Justify your choice. b) Tiago, wanting to be more precise, decides to calculate the average number of deaths among all groups of infected people presented in the table. When making this calculation, James will arrive at what value? And what will be the correct interpretation that James will make with the value obtained by the average? Present the calculation to obtain the mean and interpret the result.arrow_forwardA poll of 1047 U.S. adults split the sample into four age groups: ages 18-29, 30-49, 50-64, and 65+.

The sample included 262 18- to 29-year olds. a) Do you expect the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of all 18- to 29-year olds who think the U.S. is ready for a woman president to be wider or narrower than the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of all U.S. adults? b) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of all 18- to 29-year olds who believe the U.S. is ready for a woman president. a) The 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of 18- to 29-year olds who think the U.S. is ready for a woman president will be about twice as wide as the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of all U.S. adults who think this. b) The 90% confidence interval is ( %. %).…arrow_forward5) There are 4 Biomedical Engineering and 4 Electronics Engineering students running for a student clubelection for 3 empty positions in club board. a.

- 120 students from University of Los Banos who chose engineering as their college program were surveyed about their selected field major. 67 of them checked Civil Engineering, 55 checked Electronics Engineering, and 54 checked Mechanical Engineering alone. There are 30 students who checked both CE and ECE as their selected major. 23 of them selected CE & ME, and 26 of them checked both ME & ECE.

The director believes that an applicant’s undergraduate grade point average (GPA) and score on the GMAT exam are helpful in predicting which applicants will be good students. To assist in this endeavor, the director asked a committee of faculty members to classify 70 of the recent students in the MBA program into two groups: (1) good students and (2) weak students. The file MBAStudents.xlsm summarizes these ratings, along with the GPA and GMAT scores for the 70 students. What are the coordinates of the centroids for the good students and the weak students? Use XLMiner’s standard data partition command to partition the data into a training set (with 60% of the observations) and validation set (with 40% of the observations) using the default seed of 12345.

- An investigator would like to survey a set of people in order to learn what fraction of themuse illegal drugs. The survey involves the standard approach of randomly selecting a subsetof individuals to survey from the complete list of population members.The investigator is concerned that potential respondents will be reluctant to answer a question about drug usage truthfully.The investigator will have each respondent flip a coin.If it comes up tails, the respondent will answer 1 (yes) or 0 (no) to the question “Is the firstdigit of your social security number even”.If the coin comes up heads, the respondent will answer 1 (yes) or 0 (no) to the question “doyou use illegal drugs”.Thus, each respondent will answer 1 or 0 (yes or no) but the investigator does not knowwhich of the two questions the respondent is actually replying to. The hope is that since theinvestigator does not know which question was asked, the respondent will give the correctanswer.Let Q be the random variable which is…arrow_forward9.
