A statistics instructor would like to know whether it is worthwhile to require students to do weekly homework assignments. For Section1 of the course, homework is assigned, collected and graded each week. In Section2, students are not required to turn in homework. At the end of the semester, the students are given the same final exam. In Section1, the numbers of students getting each grade are: 16 students got A, 22 students got B, 8 students got C, and 4 students got D. In Section2, the numbers of students getting each grade are: 8 students got A, 18 students got B, 18 students got C, and 6 students got D. Is there an association between assigning homework and exam grade? Test at the alpha = 0.05 level.
a.
We reject the null hypothesis with two-tailed critical values; there is an association between assigning homework and exam grade.
b.
We reject the null hypothesis with one-tailed critical value; there is an association between assigning homework and exam…

Among residents of the other four boroughs, 12 out of 40 developed an anxiety disorder. Question : The risk of developing an anxiety disorder for those living in Manhattan was _______ times the risk of developing an anxiety disorder for those living in the other boroughs.arrow_forward

Of those under 21, 60% heard about the product from a friend, and the remainder saw an advertisement in the local paper. One-third of the people in the age category from 21 to 35 saw the advertisement in the local paper. The other two-thirds heard about it from a friend. Of those over 35, only 30% heard about it from a friend, while the remainder saw the local newspaper advertisement.
