Chapter 10: Q. 30 (page 626)

A sample survey interviews SRSs of 500female college students and 550male college students. Each student is asked whether he or she worked for pay last summer. In all, 410 of the women and 484 of the men say 鈥淵es.鈥� The pooled sample proportion who worked last summer is about

(a) p铃�C=1.70

(b)p^C=0.89

(c) p^C=0.88

(d) p^C=0.85

(e) p^C=0.82

Short Answer

Expert verified

The pooled sample proportion who worked last summer is option (c)p^C鈮�0.851.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

SRS of female college students =500

SRS of male college students =550

Number of women worked summer =410

Number of men worked summer =484

Find the pooled sample proportion who worked last summer.

02

Explanation

The given values are taken as

x1=410

n1=500

x1=484

n2=550

The proportion of pooled sample is

localid="1650360509081" p^C=x1+x2n1+n2=410+484500+550=8941050鈮�0.85

p^C鈮�0.851.

Based on your answer to Question 1.3, would you be surprised if the difference in the mean amount of liquid dispensed in the two samples was12ounces? Explain

How quickly do synthetic fabrics such as polyester decay in landfills? A researcher buried polyester strips in the soil for different lengths of time, then dug up the strips and measured the force required to break them. Breaking strength is easy to measure and is a good indicator of decay. Lower strength means the fabric has decayed. For one part of the study, the researcher buried 10strips of polyester fabric in well-drained soil in the summer. The strips were randomly assigned to two groups: 5of them were buried for 2weeks and the other 5were buried for 16weeks. Here are the breaking strengths in pounds

Do the data give good evidence that polyester decays more in 16weeks than in 2weeks? Carry out an appropriate test to help answer this question .

Shortly before the2008 presidential election, a survey was taken by the school newspaper at a very large state university. Randomly selected students were asked, 鈥淲hom do you plan to vote for in the upcoming presidential election?鈥� Here is a two-way table of the responses by political persuasion for 1850students:

Which of the following statements about these data is true?

(a) The percent of Republicans among the respondents is 41%.

(b) The marginal distribution of the variable choice of candidate is given by Obama: 55.6%; McCain: 37.6%; Other:1.1%; Undecided: 5.7%.

(c) About 11.2%of Democrats reported that they planned to vote for McCain.

(d) About 44.6%of those who are undecided are Independents.

(e) The conditional distribution of political persuasion among those for whom McCain is the candidate of choice is Democrat: 7.5%; Republican: 84.0%; Independent 18.8%:

Preventing drowning Drowning in bathtubs is a major cause of death in children less than 5 years old. A random sample of parents was asked many questions related to bathtub safety. Overall, 85% of the sample said they used baby bathtubs for infants. Estimate the percent of all parents of young children who use baby bathtubs.

Dr Teresa Amabile conducted a study involving 47college students, who were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. The 23students in one group were given a list of statements about external reasons (E) for writing, such as public recognition, making money, or pleasing their parents. The 24students in the other group were given a list of statements about internal reasons (I) for writing, such as expressing yourself and enjoying playing with words. Both groups were then instructed to write a poem about laughter. Each student鈥檚 poem was rated separately by 12different poets using a creativity scale. The 12poets鈥� ratings of each student鈥檚 poem were averaged to obtain an overall creativity score. We used Fathom software to randomly reassign the 47subjects to the two groups 1000times, assuming the treatment received doesn鈥檛 affect each individual鈥檚 average creativity rating. The dot plot shows the approximate randomization distribution of x1-xE

(a) Why did researchers randomly assign the subjects to the two treatment groups?

(b) In the actual experiment, x1-xE=4.15. What conclusion would you draw? Justify your answer with appropriate evidence.

(c) Based on your conclusion in part (b), could you have made a Type I error or a Type II error? Justify your answer.
