How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of the snake鈥檚 nest? Researchers randomly assigned newly laid eggs to one of three water temperatures: hot, neutral, or cold. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the mother python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother. Here are the data on the number of eggs and the number that hatched

(a) Make a two-way table of temperature by outcome (hatched or not). Calculate the proportion of eggs in each group that hatched. The researchers believed that eggs would not hatch in cold water. Do the data support that belief?

(b) Are the differences between the three groups statistically significant? Give appropriate evidence to support your answer

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The two-way table of temperature by the outcome is shown in the table

and yes the data support the belief.

(b) The differences between the three groups are not statistically significant.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

The given data is

02

Part (a)  Step 2: Explanation

The number of eggs not hatched is the number of eggs decreased by the number of eggs that hatched.

The proportions in each group is the number of eggs divided by the row total given in the last column:

We can see that the fraction is lowest in cold water, confirming the researcher's hypothesis. However, this percentage is still quite high.

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

The given data is

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

Observed counts

The expected counts are the row total multiplied by the column total, divided by the sample size187.

The chi-square statistic is the sum of squared deviations (between observed and expected counts) divided by the expected count:

localid="1650643863502" 2=(16-18.6257)218.6257+(11-8.3743)28.3743+(38-38.631)238.631+(18-17.369)217.369+(75-71.7433)271.7433+(29-32.2567)232.2567=1.703

The interval for the P-value can then be in found in table C in the column title which have the X2-value in the corresponding interval in the row with

localid="1650643872824" df=(c-1)(r-1)=(3-1)(2-1)=2

P>0.25

If the P-value is smaller than the significance level, then the null hypothesis is rejected

P>0.05FailtorejectH0

There is not sufficient evidence that there is an association between the variables.

Many popular businesses are franchises鈥攖hink of McDonald鈥檚. The owner of local franchise benefits from brand recognition, national advertising, and detailed guidelines provided by the franchise chain. In return, he or she pays fees to the franchise firm and agrees to follow its policies. The relationship between the local owner and the franchise firm is spelled out in a detailed contract.

One clause that the contract may or may not contain is the entrepreneur鈥檚 right to an exclusive territory. This means that the new outlet will be the only representative of the franchise in a specified territory and will not have to compete with other outlets of the same chain. How does the presence of an exclusive-territory clause in the contract relate to the survival of the business?

A study designed to address this question collected data from a random sample of 170new franchise firms. Two categorical variables were measured for each franchisor. First, the franchisor was classified as successful or not based on whether or not it was still offering franchises as of a certain date. Second, the contract each franchisor offered to franchisees was classified according to whether or not there was an exclusive-territory clause. Here are the count data, arranged in a two-way table:

Do these data provide convincing evidence of an association between an exclusive territory clause and business survival? Carry out an appropriate test at the =0.01level.

An appropriate null hypothesis to test whether the trees in the forest are randomly distributed is

(a) H0:=25, where =the mean number of trees in each quadrant.

(b) H0:p=0.25, where p=the proportion of all trees in the forest that are in Quadrant 1.

(c) H0:n1=n2=n3=n4=25, where niis the number of trees from the sample in Quadrant i.

(d) H0:p1=p2=p3=p4=0.25, where piis the actual proportion of trees in the forest that are in Quadrant i.

(e) H0:p^1=p^2=p^3=p^4=0.25, where p^iis the proportion of trees in the sample that are in Quadranti.

Seagulls by the seashore Do seagulls show a preference for where they land? To answer this question, biologists conducted a study in an enclosed outdoor space with a piece of shore whose area was made up of 56% sand, 29% mud, and 15% rocks. The biologists chose 200seagulls at random. Each seagull was released into the outdoor space on its own and observed until it landed somewhere on the piece of shore. In all, 128seagulls landed on the sand, role="math" localid="1650465230449" 61landed in the mud, and role="math" localid="1650465221489" 11landed on the rocks. Carry out a chi-square goodness-of-铿乼 test. What do you conclude?
