The bar graph shows the number of fatal vehicle crashes per 100 million miles driven for drivers of various age groups. For example, 25-year-old drivers are involved in 4.1 fatal crashes per 100 million miles driven. Thus, when a group of 25-year-old Americans have driven a total of 100 million miles, approximately 4 have been in accidents in which someone died. The number of fatal vehicle crashes per 100 million miles, y, for drivers of age x can be modeled by the formula : y = 0.013x2 - 1.19x + 28.24. Use the formula above and the bar graph at the bottom of the previous page to solve, What age groups are expected to be involved in 10 fatal crashes per 100 million miles driven? How well does the formula model the trend in the actual data shown by the bar graph?arrow_forwardPersonality psychologists often rely on rating scales, such as a 4-point rating scale (1=strongly agree, 2=agree, 3=disagree, 4=strongly disagree), to assess personality traits. The challenge is that a personality trait is conceptualized as a continuous variable but the measures use ordinal rating scales. Assume that you'd like to study the personality trait Openness in the general adult population and that this trait will be measured by asking people to rate themselves on the 6 adjectives below. Assuming that people will respond to the survey using the 4-point response scale above, describe how you'd use their responses to measure Openness, and include in your answer any advantages to your strategy. • Accepting • Broad-minded • Daring • Insightful • Receptive • Tolerantarrow_forward

They recently read that on average Americans drive 16 miles each way when computing to work by car (ABC News, 2007). Friend A suspects that the mean for Colorado residents is likely lower than the national average because the population density of Colorado increases the likelihood that people live closer to their jobs, while friend B suspects the mean for Colorado residents is likely higher than the national average. Friend C does not find either argument very convincing and instead suspects that the mean for Colorado residents is no different from the US population mean. The three friends bet a dinner at Alinea and set out to resolve the debate. Using a random sample of 20 Colorado residents, they calculate the mean for their sample to be 14.23 miles with a standard deviation of 2.34. The three friends did not pay very close attention in their statistics class, so they need your help making sense of these numbers. Compute the 95% confidence…arrow_forwardProvide one example of a real-world phenomenon that is well approximated as a Bernoulli trial. Recall that a Bernoulli trial has three requirements: There are only two outcomes, usually called success and failure. The probability of success is constant across trials. The trials are independent. To receive full credit, you must address how your example fulfills these three requirements.arrow_forward
