Explanation

Formula for percentage = valuetotalvalue100

Percentage of students who voted Republican = 7121850100=38%

So, option (a) is incorrect

The marginal relative frequencies for the variable choice of candidate are given by

Obama = 10291850100=55.6% ; Romney = 6951850100=37.56%


Other = localid="1654225534579" 211850100=1.1%; Undecided = localid="1654225615414" 1051850100=5.7%

So, option (b) is correct.

localid="1654225660667" Percentage of democrats planned to vote for Romney = localid="1654225544682" 781037100=7.5%

So, option (c) is incorrect.

localid="1654225663739" Percentage of who are undecided are Independents = localid="1654225550676" 45106100=42.4%

So, option (d) is incorrect.

localid="1654225648597" Percentage distribution of political persuasion among those for whom Romney =

Democrats supporting Romney = localid="1654225556232" 781037100=7.5%

Republican supporting Romney = localid="1654225561219" 512598100=85.6%

So , option (e) is incorrect.

Hence, option (b) is the only correct option.

You can find some interesting polls online. Anyone can become part of the sample just by clicking on a response. One such poll asked, 鈥淒o you prefer watching first-run movies at a movie theater, or waiting until they are available to watch at home or on a digital device?鈥 In all, 8896people responded, with only 12%(1118people) saying they preferred theaters. You can conclude that

a. American adults strongly prefer watching movies at home or on their digital devices.

b. the high nonresponse rate prevents us from drawing a conclusion.

c. the sample is too small to draw any conclusion.

d. the poll uses voluntary response, so the results tell us little about all American adults.

e. American adults strongly prefer seeing movies at a movie theater.

Friday the 13thRefer to Exercise 88.

a. Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the true mean difference. If you already defined parameters and checked conditions in Exercise 88, you don鈥檛 need to do them again here.

b. Explain how the confidence interval provides more information than the test in Exercise 88.

Two samples or paired data? In each of the following settings, decide whether you should use two-sample t procedures to perform inference about a difference in means or paired t procedures to perform inference about a mean difference. Explain your choice.

a. To compare the average weight gain of pigs fed two different diets, nine pairs of pigs were used. The pigs in each pair were littermates. A coin toss was used to decide which pig in each pair got Diet A and which got Diet B.

b. Separate random samples of male and female college professors are taken. We wish to compare the average salaries of male and female teachers.

c. To test the effects of a new fertilizer, 100 plots are treated with the new fertilizer, and 100 plots are treated with another fertilizer. A computer鈥檚 random number generator is used to determine which plots get which fertilizer.

Better barley Does drying barley seeds in a kiln increase the yield of barley? A famous experiment by William S. Gosset (who discovered the t distributions) investigated this question. Eleven pairs of adjacent plots were marked out in a large field. For each pair, regular barley seeds were planted in one plot and kiln-dried seeds were planted in the other. A coin flip was used to determine which plot in each pair got the regular barley seed and which got the kiln-dried seed. The following table displays the data on barley yield (pound per acre) for each plot.

Do these data provide convincing evidence at the =0.05level that drying barley seeds in a kiln increases the yield of barley, on average?

A scatterplot and a least-squares regression line are shown in the figure. What effect does point P have on the slope of the regression line and the correlation?

a. Point P increases the slope and increases the correlation.

b. Point P increases the slope and decreases the correlation.

c. Point P decreases the slope and decreases the correlation.

d. Point P decreases the slope and increases the correlation .

e. No conclusion can be drawn because the other coordinates are unknown.
