Researchers measured thefollowing five aspects of the subjects’ direction-giving behavior:• whether a map was available or if directions were given from memory without a map,• the gender of the direction-giver,• the distances given as part of the directions,• the number of times directions such as “north” or “left” were used,• the frequency of errors in directions. Identify each of the variables in this study, and whether each is quantitative orqualitative. For each quantitative variable, state whether it is discrete or continuous. Was this an observational study or an experimental study? Explain your answer.arrow_forward

Currently, the jar contains the following: 22 Pennies 27 Dimes 9 Nickels 30 Quarters What is the probability that you reach into the jar and randomly grab a penny and then, without replacement, a dime? Express as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.arrow_forwardA box contains 14 large marbles and 10 small marbles. Each marble is either green or white. 9 of the large marbles are green, and 4 of the small marbles are white. If a marble is randomly selected from the box, what is the probability that it is small or white? Express as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.arrow_forwardCan I get help with this step please? At a shooting range, instructors can determine if a shooter is consistently missing the target because of the gun sight or because of the shooter's ability. If a gun's sight is off, the variance of the distances between the shots and the center of the shot pattern will be small (even if the shots are not in the center of the target). A student claims that it is the sight that is off, not his aim, and wants the instructor to confirm his claim. If a skilled shooter fires a gun at a target multiple times, the distances between the shots and the center of the shot pattern, measured in centimeters (cm), will have a variance of less than 0.33. After the student shoots 28 shots at the target, the instructor calculates that the distances between his shots and the center of the shot pattern, measured in cm, have a variance of 0.25. Does this evidence support the student's claim that the gun's sight is off? Use a 0.025 level of significance. Assume that the…arrow_forward
- The National Academy of Science reported that 38% of research in mathematics is published by US authors. The mathematics chairperson of a prestigious university wishes to test the claim that this percentage is no longer 38%. He has no indication of whether the percentage has increased or decreased since that time. He surveys a simple random sample of 279 recent articles published by reputable mathematics research journals and finds that 123 of these articles have US authors. Does this evidence support the mathematics chairperson's claim that the percentage is no longer 38 % ? Use a 0.02 level of significance. Compute the value of the test statistic. Round to two decimal places.arrow_forwardA marketing research company desires to know the mean consumption of milk per week among males over age 32. They believe that the milk consumption has a mean of 4 liters, and want to construct a 98% confidence interval with a maximum error of 0.07 liters. Assuming a variance of 0.64 liters, what is the minimum number of males over age 32 they must include in their sample?
