Chapter 12: Q. 14 (page 801)

Do hummingbirds prefer store-bought food made from concentrate or a simple mixture of sugar and water? To find out, a researcher obtains 10identical hummingbird feeders and fills 5, chosen at random, with store-bought food from concentrate and the other 5with a mixture of sugar and water. The feeders are then randomly assigned to10possible hanging locations in the researcher鈥檚 yard. Which inference procedure should you use to test whether hummingbirds show a preference for store-bought food based on amount consumed?

(a) A one-sample z test for a proportion .

(b) A two-sample z test for a proportion .

(c) A chi-square test for association/independence .

(d) A two-sample t test .

(e) A paired t test .

Short Answer

Expert verified

(d) A two-sample t test .

Step by step solution

01

Given information.

We have been given that,

Number of identical hummingbirds feeders = 10

Number of feeders filled with store bought food = 5

Number of feeders filled with sugar mixture = 5

We need find the procedure for store bought food based on amount consumed.

02

Simplify.

Feeder 1: Sugar/Water, for consumed amount.

Feeder 2: Store bought , for consumed amount.

There are definitely two populations. You will not use the Z test for proportion as that assumes a large sample size of which 10feeders are not.

The chi square test for independence would not be useful because we only have 1factor ( sugar water or store bought).

A paired T test is not useful since the observations are not paired in any way.

Therefore, the best answer is (d) a two - sample t test, but because this is a small sample ,it is vitally important the population is normally distributed which may or may not be the case.

Give the equation of the least-squares regression line. Define any variables you use.

An old saying in golf is 鈥淵ou drive for show and you putt for dough.鈥� The point is that good putting is more important than long driving for shooting low scores and hence winning money. To see if this is the case, data from a random sample of 69of the nearly 1000players on the PGA Tour鈥檚 world money list are examined. The average number of putts per hole and the player鈥檚 total winnings for the previous season is recorded. A least-squares regression line was fitted to the data. The following results were obtained from statistical software.

Suppose that the researchers test the hypotheses H0:尾=0: Ha:尾<0. The value of the t statistic for this test is

(a)2.61

(b)2.44

(c)0.081

(d)-2.44

(e) -20.24

A standard deck of playing cards contains 52cards, of which 4are aces and 13are hearts. You are offered a choice of the following two wagers:

I. Draw one card at random from the deck. You win \(10if the card drawn is an ace. Otherwise, you lose \)1.

II. Draw one card at random from the deck. If the card drawn is a heart, you win \(2. Otherwise, you lose \)1.

Which of the two wagers should you prefer?

(a) Wager 1, because it has a higher expected value

(b) Wager 2, because it has a higher expected value

(c) Wager 1, because it has a higher probability of winning

(d) Wager 2, because it has a higher probability of winning

(e) Both wagers are equally favorable.
