Large companies typically collect volumes of data before designing a product, not only to gain information as to whether the product should be released, but
also to pinpoint which markets would be the best targets for the product. Several months ago, I was interviewed by such a company while shopping at a mall. I
was asked about my exercise habits and whether or not I'd be interested in buying a video/DVD designed to teach stretching exercises. I fall into the male, 18
35-years-old category, and I guessed that, like me, many males in that category would not be interested in a stretching video. My friend Jenny falls in the
female, older-than-35 category, and I was thinking that she might like the stretching video. After being interviewed, I looked at the interviewer's results. Of the
97 people in my market category who had been interviewed, 12 said they would buy the product, and of the 116 people in Jenny's market category, 31 said
they would buy it. Assuming that these data eame from…

During the day, the demand for nurses varies. Maureen has broken the day into twelve 2-hour periods. The slowest time of the day encompasses the three periods from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., which, beginning at midnight, require a minimum of 30, 20, and 40 nurses, respectively.

- As you read about each study, (a) classify the type of research that it reflects, and (b) identify the kinds of conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from the results. During their 8th- and 11th-grade school years, students in the Ranger School District take standardized achievement tests designed to assess their language and math skills. The superintendent receives a report showing how Ranger students compare with those in many other school districts across the nation. The superintendent discusses the results with the school principals. (a) Classify the research as one of the following: Quantitative/descriptive Quantitative/correlational Quantitative/experimental Quantitative/quasi-experimental Qualitative Mixed methods, and then (b) Identify one or more conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from this study and, if relevant, one or more conclusions that cannot be drawn from the studyarrow_forwardOne of the major measures of the quality of service provided by an organization is the speed with which the organization responds to customer complaints.

- The state and local police departments are trying to analyze crime rates so they can shift their patrols from decreasing-rate areas to areas where rates are increasing. The city and county have been geographically segmented into areas containing 5,000 residences. The police recognize that not all crimes and offenses are reported: people do not want to become involved, consider the offenses too small to report, are too embarrassed to make a police report, or do not take the time, among other reasons. Every month, because of this, the police are contacting by phone a random sample of 1,000 of the 5,000 residences for data on crime. (Respondents are guaranteed anonymity.) Here are the data collected for the past 12 months for one area: CRIME MONTH INCIDENCE SAMPLE SIZE CRIME RATE January 7 1,000 0.007 February 9 1,000 0.009 March 7 1,000 0.007 April 7 1,000 0.007 May 7 1,000 0.007 June 9 1,000 0.009 July 7 1,000 0.007 August 10 1,000 0.010 September 8 1,000 0.008 October 11 1,000 0.011…arrow_forwardA Professor offered a course that was delivered half online and half in-person (e.g., 1 week online and 1 week in-person). The Professor hypothesized that students were spending less time engaged with course material during online weeks compared to in-person weeks.

Tasks included doing course readings, preparing lecture material, and doing weekly assignments. The weeks were classified as online or in-person and the average amount of time (rounded to the nearest hour) spent engaged with course material is provided for 15 students in the course.
