Let's assume that there are 500 people in a population. The researcher has access to all 500 participants, and sends a questionnaire that is accessed by a hyperlink. Of the 500 possible subjects, 485 complete it.
Does this mean that the results generated from this study will be highly-accurate? What might cause the study to be unreliable?
Suppose that in a dial-up connection you may be connected through one of three types of channels with
varying quality of transmission. In Type I the channel has an error probability of 0.01, in Type Il the
channel has an error probability of 0.005, and in Type III the channel has an error probability of 0.001.
Suppose we assume that for the service provider used, 20% of the channels are of Type I, 30% of the
channels are of Type II and 50% of the channels are of Type II.
a. What is the probability of error for an arbitrary connection? (Hint: This is similar to the resistors
with the nominal value problem)
b. Suppose we observe an error, what is the probability that we were connected via a channel
Type I?
A student claims that he can correctly identify whether a person is a business major or an agriculture major by the way the person dresses. Suppose in actuality that if someone is a business major, he can correctly identify that person as a business major 87% of the time. When a person is an agriculture major, the student will incorrectly identify that person as a business major 16% of the time. Presented with one person and asked to identify the major of this person (who is either a business or an agriculture major), he considers this to be a hypothesis test with the null hypothesis being that the person is a business major and the alternative that the person is an agriculture major.
What would be a Type I error?
Saying that the person is a business major when in fact the person is an agriculture major.
Saying that the person is an agriculture major when in fact the person is an agriculture major.

Every customer buying this new chocolate cake either gives it a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down". Based on the data accumulated between 10/2013 and 9/2014, we know that 40% of the cakes baked by Doug gets a "thumbs up", while only 10% of those baked by Jeremy gets a "thumbs up". About 70% of the cakes are baked by Doug. One cake was selected at random on 10/01/2014. Find the probability that the cake got a "thumbs up".arrow_forwardA scientist is interested in whether stretching before running 5 kilometers will improve a runner’s time. The scientist decides that an experimental study is the best method to use to answer the question. One group of runners will run a 5-kilometer race without stretching, and a second group of runners will follow a specific stretching routine before running the race. The finishing times will be recorded, along with the group type for each runner. The scientist is able to get 200 adults of varying running abilities to participate in the study. Describe a way that would assign people into the two groups that would allow the scientist to answer the question of interest. *THIS IS NOT GRADED**arrow_forward
- At a stop sign, some drivers come to a full stop, some come to a `rolling stop' (not a full stop, but slow down), and some do not stop at all. We would like to test if there is an association between gender and type of stop (full, rolling, or no stop). We collect data by standing a few feet from a stop sign and taking note of type of stop and the gender of the driver. Below is a contingency table summarizing the data we collected. Male Female Full stop 6 6 Rolling stop 16 15 No stop 4 3 If gender is not associated with type of stop, how many males would we expect to not stop at all? 6.24 5.76 3.64 3.36arrow_forwardA manager of a small store wanted to discourage shoplifters by putting signs around the store that said, "Shoplifting is a crime!", while at the same time making sure the signs would not affect the number of sales.

Recall that to create the posed laughter laugh track, the researchers asked people to laugh and recorded the results. The researchers also tested the same 40 jokes with a spontaneous laughing laugh track, which they created by having people watch funny videos and recording their laughter. The data can be found in the file LaughTypes in pictures. Put these data into the Matched Pairs applet to investigate whether the type of laughter makes a difference in the ratings of the jokes and also do parts (a) (b) and (c):arrow_forward
- A pandemic has begun and has been spreading in almost all countries. A tipster sent a handwritten letter to a military camp. According to the letter, the disease was due to a virus that a certain group of scientists made, and was initially developed to start a biological warfare among nations. A cure was also made alongside with it and showed that the disease may be controlled. Unfortunately, the cure was secured in a safe in a laboratory and is locked with a code. The safe was locked using the function: f (x) = 3z – 7 You are one of the troop tasked to divulge the code and open the safe. If this is the function used to lock the safe, what would be its inverse function?
