Chapter 10: Q. 6 (page 667)

You can find the Excite Poll online at poll.excite.com. You simply click on a response to become part of the sample. The poll question for June 19,2005, was 鈥淒o you prefer watching first-run movies at a movie theater, or waiting until they are available on home video or pay-per-view?鈥� In all, 8896people responded, with only 12%(1118people) saying they preferred theaters. You can conclude that

(a) American adults strongly prefer home videos or pay-per-view.

(b) the high nonresponse rate prevents us from drawing a conclusion.

(c) the sample is too small to draw any conclusion.

(d) the poll uses voluntary response, so the results tell us little about all American adults.

(e) American adults strongly prefer seeing movies at a movie theater.

Short Answer

Expert verified

As the poll uses voluntry responses, it tells us about American Adults in a little manner.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have been given that

The high nonresponse prevents conclusion,sample is too small.

02

Explanation

Selection or undercover bias will exclude part of thr population.

measurement will use a method that will provide us the data from the different true values.

Non responses is the result for not having data.

As we know that anyone can become a part of the sample by just clicking on the link ,which tells us that this does not provide us the true values.

A large clinical trial of the effect of diet on breast cancer assigned women at random to either a normal diet or a low-fat diet. To check that the random assignment did produce comparable groups, we can compare the two groups at the start of the study. Ask if there is a family history of breast cancer: 3396of the 19,541women in the low-fat group and 4929of the 29,294women in the control group said 鈥淵es.鈥� If the random assignment worked well, there should not be a significant difference in the proportions with a family history of breast cancer.

(a) How significant is the observed difference? Carry out an appropriate test to help answer this question.

(b) Describe a Type I and a Type II error in this setting. Which is more serious? Explain.

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,410of the women and 484of the men say 鈥淵es.鈥� TakepMand localid="1650271716184" pFbe the proportions of all college males and females who worked last summer. We conjectured before seeing the data that men are more likely to work. The hypotheses to be tested are

(a) H0:pM-pf=0versus Ha;pM-pF鈮�0

(b) H0:pM-pF=0versusHa:pM-pF>0.

(c) H0:pM-pF=0versusHa:pM-pF<0

(d) H0:pM-pF>0versusHa:pM-pF=0

(e) H0:pM-pF鈮�0versusHa:pM-pF=0

A study of road rage asked separate random samples of 596men and 523women about their behavior while driving. Based on their answers, each re-spondent was assigned a road rage score on a scale of 0to 20. Are the conditions for performing a two-sample t test satisfied?

a) Maybe; we have independent random samples, but we need to look at the data to check Normality.

(b) No; road rage scores in a range between 0 and 20 can鈥檛 be Normal.

(c) No; we don鈥檛 know the population standard deviations.

(d) Yes; the large sample sizes guarantee that the corresponding population distributions will be Normal.

(e) Yes; we have two independent random samples and large sample sizes.

45. Paying for college College financial aid offices expect students to use summer earnings to help pay for college. But how large are these earnings? One large university studied this question by asking a random sample of 1296students who had summer jobs how much they earned. The financial aid office separated the responses into two groups based on gender. Here are the data in summary form:

(a) How can you tell from the summary statistics that the distribution of earnings in each group is strongly skewed to the right? A graph of the data reveals no outliers. The use of two-sample t procedures is still justified. why?
(b) Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the difference between the mean summer earnings of male and female students at this university.
(c) Interpret the 90%confidence level in the context of this study.

A scatterplot and a least-squares regression line are shown in the figure below. If the labeled point P(20,24)is removed from the data set, which of the following statements is true ?

(a) The slope will decrease, and the correlation will decrease.

(b) The slope will decrease, and the correlation will increase.

(c) The slope will increase, and the correlation will increase.

(d) The slope will increase, and the correlation will decrease.

(e) No conclusion can be drawn since the other coordinates are unknown.
