Chapter 11: Q. 28 (page 753)

Python eggs How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of

the snake鈥檚 nest? Researchers randomly assigned newly laid eggs to one of three water

temperatures: hot, neutral, or cold. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the

mother python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother. Here are segmented bar graphs showing the results of the experiment. Describe what you see.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The frequency of hatched eggs is the greatest in hot water, followed by neutral water and cold water.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have been given a graph which gives us the relative frequency of hatched eggs to unhatched eggs in cold water, neutral water and hot water.

02

Explanation

It can be inferred from the graph that the relative frequency of hatched eggs to unhatched eggs is 0.7in the case of hot water, between 0.7and 0.6in case of neutral water, and 0.6in case of cold water. Thus, the decreasing order of the relative frequency of hatched to unhatched eggs in the three temperatures of water is: hot water, neutral water, and cold water.

Regulating guns The National Gun Policy Survey asked a random sample of adults, "Do you think there should be a law that would ban possession of handguns except for the police and other authorized persons?" Here are the responses, broken down by the respondent's level of education:

Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.05level of an association between education level and opinion about a handgun ban in the adult population?

The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health interviewed a random sample of 4877teens (grades 7to 12). One question asked, 鈥淲hat do you think are the chances you will be married in the next 10years?鈥� Here is a two-way table of the responses by gender:

Inference recap (8.1to 11.2) In each of the following settings, state which inference procedure from Chapter 8,9,10,or11you would use. Be specific. For example, you might answer, 鈥淭wo-sample z test for the difference between two proportions.鈥� You do not have to carry out any procedures.

a. What is the average voter turnout during an election? A random sample of 38cities was asked to report the percent of registered voters who voted in the most recent election.

b. Are blondes more likely to have a boyfriend than the rest of the single world? Independent random samples of 300 blondes and 300 nonblondes were asked whether they have a boyfriend.

All current-carrying wires produce electromagnetic (EM) radiation, including the electrical wiring running into, through, and out of our homes. High-frequency EM radiation is thought to be a cause of cancer. The lower frequencies associated with household current are generally assumed to be harmless. To investigate the relationship between current configuration and type of cancer, researchers visited the addresses of a random sample of children who had died of some form of cancer (leukemia, lymphoma, or some other type) and classified the wiring configuration outside the dwelling as either a high-current configuration (HCC) or a low-current configuration (LCC). Here are the data:

Computer software was used to analyze the data. The output included the value X2=0.435

Which of the following may we conclude, based on the chi-square test results?

a. There is convincing evidence of an association between wiring configuration and the chance that a child will develop some form of cancer.

b. HCC either causes cancer directly or is a major contributing factor to the development of cancer in children.

c. Leukemia is the most common type of cancer among children.

d. There is not convincing evidence of an association between wiring configuration and the type of cancer that caused the deaths of children.

e. There is convincing evidence that HCC does not cause cancer in children.

What鈥檚 your sign? The University of Chicago鈥檚 General Social Survey (GSS) is the nation鈥檚 most important social science sample survey. For reasons known only to social scientists, the GSS regularly asks a random sample of people their astrological sign. Here are the counts of responses from a recent GSS of 4344 people:

If births are spread uniformly across the year, we expect all 12 signs to be equally likely. Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 1% significance level that all 12 signs are not equally likely?
