Average ratings (1.3,10.2)The students decided to compare the average ratings of the cafeteria food on the two scales.

(a) Find the mean and standard deviation of the ratings for the students who were given the 1-to-5scale.

(b) For the students who were given the 1-to-5scale, the ratings have a mean of 3.21and a standard deviation of 0.568. Since the scales differ by one point, the group decided to add 1to each of these ratings. What are the mean and standard deviation of the adjusted ratings?

(c) Would it be appropriate to compare the means from parts (a) and (b) using a two-sample t-test? Justify your answer

Short Answer

Expert verified

a). x=3.545,

s=1.1857

b). Adjusted Mean is 4.21,

Adjusted standard deviation is 0.568.

c). Two sample test for mean isn't appropriate.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

Total number of people is 90.

The table of the frequency count of the ratings 1to 5is as follows

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

Calculation

x f
xf
x2f
1222
23612
3139
41352208
531575

f=22
(xf)=78
x2f=306

The mean will be

x=7822

=3.545

The standard deviation will be

s=122-1306-223.5452

=1.1857

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

Mean of the ratings 0to 4=3.21.

The standard deviation of the ratings 0to 4=0.568.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

Concept used:

E[aX+b]=aE[X]+b

Sd(aX+b)=aSd(x)

Using the above concept as an addition or subtraction in all the terms leads to the simultaneous changes in the mean while the standard deviation is affected by only multiplication or division of all the terms.

As 1is added to each of the ratings, so

The mean of the adjusted ratings will bex'=x+1

=3.21+1

=4.21

The adjusted standard deviation will remain the same as it remains unaffected by the addition or subtraction of the value.

05

Part (c)  Step 1: Given Information

To compare the means from parts (a) and (b) using a two-sample t-test.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

Two sample test for means is used when the data is nominal in nature.

In this case, the ratings are to be tested an ordinal data (ordered data)

Since the data is categorical in nature, so two-sample t-test is not appropriate.

Roulette Casinos are required to verify that their games operate as advertised. American roulette wheels have 38slots18red, 18black, and 2green In one casino, managers record data from a random sample of spins of one of their American roulette wheels. The one-way table below displays the results.

(a) State appropriate hypotheses for testing whether these data give convincing evidence that the distribution of outcomes on this wheel is not what it should be.

(b) Calculate the expected counts for each color. Show your work.

Refer to Exercise 28. Do the data provide convincing evidence of a difference in the distributions of opinions about how high schools are doing among black, Hispanic, and white parents?

(a) State appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for a significance test to help answer this question.

(b) Calculate the expected counts. Show your work.

(c) Calculate the chi-square statistic. Show your work.

Researchers looked at a random sample of 1509full-page ads that show a model in magazines aimed at young men, at young women, or at young adults in general. They classified the ads as 鈥渘ot sexual鈥 or 鈥渟exual,鈥 depending on how the model was dressed (or not dressed). Here are the data:

The figure below displays Minitab output for a chi-square test using these data

a) Which type of chi-square test should be used in this case? Justify your answer.

(b) State an appropriate pair of hypotheses for the test you chose in part (a).

(c) Show how each of the numbers 60.94,424.8,and 12.835was obtained for the 鈥渘otsexy, Women鈥 cell

(d) Assuming that the conditions for performing inference are met, what conclusion would you draw? Explain

Gastric freezing was once a recommended treatment for ulcers in the upper intestine. The use of gastric freezing stopped after experiments showed it had no effect. One randomized comparative experiment found that 28of the 82gastric-freezing patients improved, while 30of the 78patients in the placebo group improved. We can test the hypothesis of 鈥渘o difference鈥 in the effectiveness of the treatments in two ways: with a two-sample z test or with a chi-square test.

(a) Minitab output for a chi-square test is shown below. State appropriate hypotheses and interpret the P-value in context. What conclusion would you draw?

Chi-Square Test: Gastric freezing, Placebo Expected counts are printed below observed counts Chi-Square contributions are printed below expected counts

(b) Minitab output for a two-sample z test is shown below. Explain how these results are consistent with the test in part (a).

Do the data provide convincing evidence of a difference in the effectiveness of the four treatments? Carry out an appropriate test at the =0.05significance level.
