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.

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 69 of the nearly 1000 players 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 are recorded. A least-squares regression line was fitted to the data. The following results were obtained from statistical software.

A 95%confidence interval for the slope Bof the population regression line is

(a)7,897,1793,023,782

(b)7,897,1796,047,564

(c)4,139,1981,698,371

(d)4,139,1983,328,807

(e)4,139,1983,396,742

In the casting of metal parts, molten metal flows through a 鈥済ate鈥 into a die that shapes the part. The gate velocity (the speed at which metal is forced through the gate) plays a critical role in die casting. A firm that casts cylindrical aluminium pistons examined a random sample of 12pistons formed from the same alloy of metal. What is the relationship between the cylinder wall thickness (inches) and the gate velocity (feet per second) chosen by the skilled workers who do the casting? If there is a clear pattern, it can be used to direct new workers or to automate the process. A scatterplot of the data is shown below

A least-squares regression analysis was performed on the data. Some computer output and a residual plot are shown below. A Normal probability plot of the residuals (not shown) is roughly linear.

Do these data provide convincing evidence of a straight-line relationship between thickness and gate velocity in the population of pistons formed from this alloy of metal? Carry out an appropriate significance test at the =0.05level.

A distribution that represents the number of cars parked in a randomly selected residential driveway on any night is given by

xi:0 123 4
pi :0.10.20.350.250.15

Which of the following statements is correct?

(a) This is a legitimate probability distribution because each of the pi-values is between 0and 1.

(b) This is a legitimate probability distribution because xiis exactly 10.

(c) This is a legitimate probability distribution because each of the pi-values is between 0and 1and the xiis exactly 10.

(d) This is not a legitimate probability distribution because xiis not exactly 10.

(e) This is not a legitimate probability distribution because role="math" localid="1650523963322" pi is not exactly 1.

Is there significant evidence that selling price increases as appraised value increases? To answer this question, test the hypotheses

(a) H0:=0versusHa:>0..

(c) H0:=0versusHa:0

(d) H0:>0versusHa==0.

(e)Hx:=1versus.H>1

A survey 铿乺m wants to ask a random sample of adults in Ohio if they support an increase in the state sales tax from 5%% to 6%, with the additional revenue going to education. Let p^denote the proportion in the sample who say that they support the increase. Suppose that 40%of all adults in Ohio support the increase. How large a sample would be needed to guarantee that the standard deviation of p^is no more than 0.01?

(a)1500

(b) 2400

(c)2401

(d) 2500

(e)9220
