Chapter 10: Q. 7 (page 667)

A certain candy has different wrappers for various holidays. During Holiday 1the candy wrappers are 30%silver, 30%red, and 40%pink. During Holiday 2the wrappers are 50%silver and 50%blue. Forty pieces of candy are randomly selected from the Holiday 1distribution, and 40 pieces are randomly selected from the Holiday 2 distribution. What are the expected value and standard deviation of the total number of silver wrappers?

Result is:

32,4.29

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have been give that

X~binomial(40,0.3)Y~binomial(40,0.5)

Each distributio follows a binomial distribution.

02

Simplify

For any distribution, if they are independent, the mean of the sum is just the sum of means.

Mean(X+Y)=Mean(X)+Mean(Y)

Mean of a binomial is calculated ton*p

Mean(X)=40*0.3=12,Mean(Y)=40*0.5=20

Since both holidays are independent

Var(X+Y)=Var(X)+Var(Y)

Variance for a binomial distributed is maximised

Var(X)=40*0.3*(1-0.3)=8.4,Var(Y)=40*0.5*

0.5=10Var(X+Y)=18.4

We will calculate standard deviation by

SD(X+Y)=Var(X+Y)=4.29

Explain why the conditions for using two-sample z procedures to perform inference about p1-p2are not met in the settings

Don鈥檛 drink the water! The movie A Civil Action (Touchstone Pictures 1998) tells the story of a major legal battle that took place in the small town of Woburn, Massachusetts. A town well that supplied water to eastern Woburn residents was contaminated by industrial chemicals. During the period that residents drank water from this well, 16of the 414babies born had birth defects. On the west side of Woburn, 3of the 228babies born during the same time period had birth defects.

A driving school wants to find out which of its two instructors is more effective at preparing students to pass the state鈥檚 driver鈥檚 license exam. An incoming class of 100students is randomly assigned to two groups, each of size 50. One group is taught by Instructor A; the other is taught by Instructor B. At the end of the course, 30of Instructor A鈥檚 students and 22of Instructor B鈥檚 students pass the state exam. Do these results give convincing evidence that Instructor A is more effective?

Min Jae carried out the significance test shown below to answer this question. Unfortunately, he made some mistakes along the way. Identify as many mistakes as you can, and tell how to correct each one.

State: I want to perform a test of

H0:p1-p2=0

Ha:p1-p2>0

where p1=the proportion of Instructor A's students that passed the state exam and p2=the proportion of Instructor B's students that passed the state exam. Since no significance level was stated, I'll use 蟽=0.05

Plan: If conditions are met, I鈥檒l do a two-sample ztest for comparing two proportions.

Random The data came from two random samples of 50students.

- Normal The counts of successes and failures in the two groups -30,20,22, and 28-are all at least 10.

- Independent There are at least 1000 students who take this driving school's class.

Do: From the data, p^1=2050=0.40and p^2=3050=0.60. So the pooled proportion of successes is

p^C=22+3050+50=0.52

- Test statistic

localid="1650450621864" z=(0.40-0.60)-00.52(0.48)100+0.52(0.48)100=-2.83

- p-value From Table A, localid="1650450641188" P(z鈮�-2.83)=1-0.0023=0.9977.

Conclude: The p-value, 0.9977, is greater than 伪=0.05, so we fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is no convincing evidence that Instructor A's pass rate is higher than Instructor B's.

Computer gaming Do experienced computer game players earn higher scores when they play with someone present to cheer them on or when they play alone? Fifty teenagers who are experienced at playing a particular computer game have volunteered for a study . We randomly assign 25of them to play the game alone and the other 25to play the game with a supporter present. Each player鈥檚 score is recorded.

(a) Is this a problem with comparing means or comparing proportions? Explain.

(b) What type of study design is being used to produce data?

The two-sample t statistic for the road rage study (male mean minus female mean) is t=3.18. The P-value for testing the hypotheses from the previous exercise satisfies

(a) 0.001<P<0.005.

(b) 0.0005<P<0.001.

(c) 0.001<P<0.002.

(d) 0.002<P<0.01.

(e) P>0.01.

To study the long-term effects of preschool programs for poor children, researchers designed an experiment. They recruited 123children who had never attended preschool from low-income families in Michigan. Researchers randomly assigned 62of the children to attend preschool (paid for by the study budget) and the other 61to serve as a control group who would not go to preschool. One response variable of interest was the need for social services for adults. In the past 10years, 38children in the preschool group and 49 in the control group have needed social services.4 1. Does this study provide convincing evidence that preschool reduces the later need for social services? Carry out an appropriate test to help answer this question.
