Chapter 12: Q. AP4.26. (page 803)

Which of the following statements about the t distribution with degrees of freedom df is (are) true?

I. It is symmetric.

II. It has more variability than the t distribution with df+1degrees of freedom.

III. As df increases, the t distribution approaches the standard Normal distribution.

(a) I only (c) III only (e) I, II, and III

(b) II only (d) I and II

Short Answer

Expert verified

(e) I, II and III are true.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

we have been given that

tdistribution with degree of freedom df

02

Explanation

I:True, because all t-distributions are symmetric.

II:True, because as the degree of freedom decreases, the t-distribution becomes wider and thus the t-distribution has more variability (when it has a lower degrees of freedom).

III:True, because the larger the degree of freedom, the more closely the t-distribution resembles the standard Normal distribution.

Since, I,IIandIIIare all correct, the correct answer option is(e)I,IIandIII

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 .

Use this linear model to predict the U.S. population in 1890. Show your work.

In physics class, the intensity of a 100-watt light bulb was measured by a sensor at various distances from the light source. A scatterplot of the data is shown below. Note that a candela (cd) is a unit of luminous intensity in the International System of Unit

Physics textbooks suggest that the relationship between light intensity y and distance x should follow an 鈥渋nverse square law,鈥� that is, a power-law model of the form y=ax-2. We transformed the distance measurements by squaring them and then taking their reciprocals. Some computer output and a residual plot from a least-squares regression analysis on the transformed data are shown below. Note that the horizontal axis on the residual plot displays predicted light intensity

(a) Did this transformation achieve linearity? Give appropriate evidence to justify your answer.

(b) What would you predict for the intensity of a 100-watt bulb at a distance of 2.1meters? Show your work.

Random assignment is part of a well-designed comparative experiment because

(a) It is more fair to the subjects.

(b) It helps create roughly equivalent groups before treatments are imposed on the subjects.

(c) It allows researchers to generalize the results of their experiment to a larger population.

(d) It helps eliminate any possibility of bias in the experiment.

(e) It prevents the placebo effect from occurring

Beavers and beetles Refer to Exercise 9.

(a) How many clusters of beetle larvae would you predict in a circular plot with 5 tree stumps cut by beavers? Show your work.

(b) About how far off do you expect the prediction in part (a) to be from the actual number of clusters of beetle larvae? Justify your answer.
