Chapter 12: Q.32 (page 765)

Snowmobiles (11.2) Do these data provide convincing evidence of an association between environmental club membership and snowmobile use for the population of visitors to Yellowstone National Park? Carry out an appropriate test at the 5% significance level

Short Answer

Expert verified

Yes, these data provide convincing evidence of an association between environmental club membership and snowmobile use for the population of visitors to Yellowstone National park.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

02

Explanation

The numbers of those who have never used a snowmobile, are snowmobile renters, and are snowmobile owners are shown in a table of environmental club members and non-members. As a result, we'll use a chi-square test to see if there's a link between the two categorical variables. Thus

03

Explanation

The value of test statistics is then,

蠂2=(445-525.6861)2525.6861+(212-131.3139)2131.3139+(497-459.2752)2459.2752+(77-114.7248)2114.7248 =116.588

The degrees of freedom is then,

df=(r-1)(c-1)

=(3-1)(2-1)

=2

Thus, the P-value is,

P<0.0005

Therefore, we have that,

P<0.05鈬�RejectH0

As a result, we conclude that the claim of association is supported by sufficient evidence.

A set of10 cards consists of 5 red cards and5 black cards. The cards are shuf铿俥d thoroughly, and you choose one at random, observe its color, and replace it in the set. The cards are thoroughly reshuf铿俥d, and you again choose a card at random, observe its color, and replace it in the set. This is done a total of four times. Let X be the number of red cards observed in these four trials.

The random variableX has which of the following probability distributions?

(a) The Normal distribution with mean2 and standard deviation1

(b) The binomial distribution with n=10androle="math" localid="1650534915843" p=0.5

(c) The binomial distribution withn=5 and p=0.5

(d) The binomial distribution with n=4and p=0.5

(e) The geometric distribution with p=0.5

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.

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.

Boyle鈥檚 law If you have taken a chemistry class, then you are probably familiar with Boyle鈥檚 law: for gas in a confined space kept at a constant temperature, pressure times volume is a constant (in symbols, PV=k). Students collected the following data on pressure and volume using a syringe and a pressure probe.

(a) Make a reasonably accurate scatterplot of the data by hand using volume as the explanatory variable.

Describe what you see.

(b) If the true relationship between the pressure and volume of the gas is PV=k, we can divide both sides of this equation by Vto obtain the theoretical model P=k/V, or P=k(1/V). Use the graph below to identify the transformation that was used to linearize the curved pattern in part (a).

(c) Use the graph below to identify the transformation that was used to linearize the curved pattern in part (a).

Which of the following would provide evidence that a power law model of the form y=axbwhere b鈮�0andb鈮�1, describes the relationship between a response variable yand an explanatory variable x.

(a) A scatterplot of yversus xlooks approximately linear.

(b) A scatterplot of ln yversus xlooks approximately linear.

(c) A scatterplot of yversus ln xlooks approximately linear.

(d) A scatterplot of ln yversus ln xlooks approximately linear.

(e) None of these.
