A random survey of autos parked in the student lot and the staff lot at 3 universities are provided in the table below. Are there differences between the universities in terms of cars driven by students and staff?

	Student	Staff
University 1	214	210
University 2	66	24
University 3	55	47

a) Write appropriate hypotheses.

b) How many degrees of freedom are there?

c) Find ?2 and the P-value.

d) State your conclusion (use α = 0.05).

All workings must be shown.

Expert Solution

Observed Frequencies
	Student	Staff	Total
University 1	214	210	424
University 2	66	24	90
University 3	55	47	102
Total	335	281	616
Expected Frequencies
	Student	Staff	Total
University 1	335 * 424 / 616 = 230.5844	281 * 424 / 616 = 193.4156	424
University 2	335 * 90 / 616 = 48.9448	281 * 90 / 616 = 41.0552	90
University 3	335 * 102 / 616 = 55.4708	281 * 102 / 616 = 46.5292	102
Total	335	281	616
	(fo-fe)²/fe
University 1	(214 - 230.5844)²/230.5844 = 1.1928	(210 - 193.4156)²/193.4156 = 1.422
University 2	(66 - 48.9448)²/48.9448 = 5.943	(24 - 41.0552)²/41.0552 = 7.0851
University 3	(55 - 55.4708)²/55.4708 = 0.004	(47 - 46.5292)²/46.5292 = 0.0048

a) Ho: There is no difference between the universities in terms of cars driven by students and staff.

Ha: There is a difference between the universities in terms of cars driven by students and staff.

b) Number of Rows = 2

Number of Columns = 3

df = (r-1)(c-1) = 2

c) Test statistic:

χ² = ∑ ((fo-fe)²/fe) = 1.1928 + 1.4220 + 5.9430 + 7.0851 + 0.0040 + 0.0048 = 15.6517

p-value = CHISQ.DIST.RT(15.6517, 2) = 0.0004

d) Conclusion:

p-value < α, Reject the null hypothesis.

There is enough evidence to conclude that there is a difference between the universities in terms of cars driven by students and staff.

Cars get parked in a lot (with infinite capacity) according to a λ-rate Poisson process, and indepen- dently stay parked for a random duration. The parking time duration of a car follows a common distribution X, with cdf F(x) = P(X ≤ x). Let N(t) be the number of cars parked at time t. 1a. What is the distribution of N(t)? 1b. Assuming a car arrival rate of 1 per minute, and X (in min) ∼ Gamma(3, 1) (as defined...

Consider 3 time periods (now, a bit later, a lot later). The “Now” period: If a student goes to school now, they will have to pay $100 for books/transportation/fees/etc. In addition, they will not be able to work, hence the family income is reduced by $600. The “a bit later” period: If a person goes to school in the “now” period, they will earn $500 more than a person who does not go to school. The “a lot later” period: If a person goes...

A student is interested in the sleep quality of students. That student selects a random sample of 21 students (age 19-24 years) from each four undergraduate years (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior), and applies Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and obtains their responses. PSQI includes 19 self-reported items and is designed to evaluate overall sleep quality (Data are presented in Table 1 below). The student is interested in determining whether there is any evidence of a difference in sleep quality...

A recent National Science Foundation (NSF) survey indicates that more than 20% of the staff in American research and development laboratories is foreign. Results of the study have been used for pushing legislation aimed at controlling the number of foreign workers in the United States. An organization of foreign-born scientists wants to prove that the NSF survey results do not reflect the true percentage of foreign workers in the U.S. labs. The organization collects a sample of 5,000 laboratory workers...
