The cell that contributes most to the chi-square statistic is

(a) men who developed a rash.

(b) men who did not develop a rash.

(c) women who developed a rash.

(d) women who did not develop a rash.

(e) both (a) and (d).

Question refers to the following situation:

Could mud wrestling be the cause of a rash contracted by University of Washington students? Two physicians at the University of Washington student health center wondered about this when one male and six female students complained of rashes after participating in a mud-wrestling event. Questionnaires were sent to a random sample of students who participated in the event. The results, by gender, are summarized in the following table.

Some Minitab output for the previous table is given below. The output includes the observed counts, the expected counts, and the chi-square statistic.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Option (c) is correct. Women who developed a rash.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have been given that the data of the random samples of participants (men and women) participated in mud wrestling event. These samples were collected when one male and six female students complained of rashes after participating in a mud-wrestling event. Data is depicted in the tables given in question.

We need to find the cell that contributes most to the chi-square statistics.

02

Simplify

Firstly, find the difference between an observed frequency and an expected frequency for men and women:

Women who developed a rash:

Observed-Expected=12-7.78=4.22

Women who did not develop a rash:

Observed-Expected=12-16.22=4.22

Men who developed a rash:

Observed-Expected=12-16.22=4.22

Men who did not develop a rash:

Observed-Expected=38-33.78=4.22

We have observed that all the four cells have the same difference of observed and expected frequency. So, that's why, the cell which has the lowest expected value contributed the most.

The lowest expected value is for women who developed a rash i.e. 7.78.

So, the women who developed a rash contribute the most to the chi-square statistic.

Suppose a company manufactures plastic lids for disposable coffee cups. When the manufacturing process is working correctly, the diameters of the lids are approximately Normally distributed with a mean diameter of

4 inches and a standard deviation of 0.02 inches. To make sure the machine is not producing lids that are too big or too small, each hour a random sample of 25 lids is selected and the sample mean is calculated.

(a) Describe the shape, center, and spread of the sampling distribution of the sample mean diameter, assuming the machine is working properly.

The company decides that it will shut down the machine if the sample means the diameter is less than 3.99 inches or greater than 4.01 inches since this indicates that some lids will be too small or too large for the cups. If the sample mean is less than 3.99 or greater than 4.01, all the lids from

that hour is thrown away since the company does not want to sell bad products.

(b) Assuming that the machine is working properly, what is the probability that a random sample of 25 lids will have a mean diameter less than 3.99 inches or greater than 4.01 inches? Show your work.

Additionally, to look for any trends, each hour the company records the value of the sample mean on a chart, like the one below.

One benefit of using this type of chart is that out-of-control production trends can be noticed before it is too late and lids have to be thrown away. For example, if the sample means increased in 3 consecutive samples, this would suggest that something might be wrong with the machine.

If this trend can be noticed before the sample means gets larger than 4.01, then the machine can be fixed without having to throw away any lids.

(c) Assuming that the manufacturing process is working correctly, what is the probability that the sample mean diameter will be above the desired mean of 4.00 but below the upper boundary of 4.01? Show your work.

(d) Assuming that the manufacturing process is working correctly, what is the probability that in 5 consecutive samples, 4 or 5 of the sample means will be above the desired mean of 4.00 but below the upper boundary of 4.01? Show your work.

(e) Which of the following results gives more convincing evidence that the machine needs to be shut down? Explain.

1. Getting a single sample mean below 3.99 or above 4.01 OR

2. Taking 5 consecutive samples and having at least 4 of the sample means be between 4.00 and 4.01.

(f) Suggest a different rule (other than 1 and 2 stated in part (e)) for stopping the machine before it starts producing lids that have to be thrown away. Assuming that the machine is working properly, calculate the probability that the machine will be shut down when using your rule.

Students in Mr. Handford鈥檚 class dropped a kickball beneath a motion detector. The detector recorded the height of the ball as it bounced up and down several times. Here are the heights of the ball at the highest point on the first five bounces:

Bounce numberHeight (feet)12.24021.62031.23540.95850.756

Here is the scatter plot of the data

(a) The following graphs show the results of two different transformations of the data. Would an exponential model or a power model provide a better description of the relationship between bounce number and height? Justify your answer.

(b) Minitab output from a linear regression analysis on the transformed data of log(height) versus bounce number is shown below. Give the equation of the least-squares regression line. Be sure to define any variables you use.

(c) Use your model from part (b) to predict the highest point the ball reaches on its seventh bounce. Show your work.

(d) A residual plot for the linear regression in part (b) is shown below. Do you expect your prediction part (c) to be too high, too low, or just right? Justify your answer.

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:=0: Ha:<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

The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures students鈥 attitudes toward school and study habits. Scores range from 0 to 200. The mean score for U.S. college students is about 115. A teacher suspects that older students have better attitudes toward school. She gives the SSHA to an SRS of 45 of the over 1000 students at her college who are at least 30 years of age. Check the conditions for carrying out a significance test of the teacher鈥檚 suspicion.

How well materials conduct heat matters when designing houses, for example. Conductivity is measured in terms of watts of heat power transmitted per square meter of surface per degree Celsius of temperature difference on the two sides of the material. In these units, glass has conductivity about 1. The National Institute of Standards and Technology provides exact data on properties of materials. Here are measurements of the heat conductivity of 11 randomly selected pieces of a particular type of glass:

1.11 1.07 1.11 1.07 1.12 1.08 1.08 1.18 1.18 1.18 1.12

Is there convincing evidence that the conductivity of this type of glass is greater than 1? Carry out a test to help you answer this question.
