An online survey asked 397 how much extra in taxes they would be willing to pay to protect the environment. The sample average was $599 with a sample standard deviation of $180. Is it appropriate to use a normal distribution to approximate a confidence interval for the population mean? If it’s inappropriate, indicate why.
Select one:
a. Yes.
b. No, because it was not a random sample.
c. No, because n(p-hat) < 10 or n(q-hat) < 10.
d. No, because the sample size wasn’t at least 30 and the population wasn’t normally distributed.
e. No, because we already know the population mean.

Problem 3-05 (Algorithmic) Brandon Lang is a creative entrepreneur who has developed a novelty soap item called Jackpot to target consumers with a gambling habit. Inside each bar of Jackpot shower soap is a single rolled-up bill of U.S. currency. The currency (rolled up and sealed in shrinkwrap) is appropriately inserted into the soap mixture prior to the cutting and stamping procedure. The distribution of paper currency (per 1000 bars of soap) is given in the following table. Distribution of Paper Currency Prizes Bill Denomination Number of Bills $1 500 $5 250 $10 150 $20 50 $50 49 $100 1 Total 1,000 (a) What is the expected amount of money in a single bar of Jackpot soap? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. Expected value = (b) What is the standard deviation of the money in a single bar of Jackpot soap? If required, round your answer to two decimal places. Standard deviation = (c) How many bars of soap would a customer have to buy so that, on average, he or she has purchased four bars containing a $10 or $20 bill? If required, round up your answer to the next whole number. Number of bars of soap = (d) If a customer buys 9 bars of soap, what is the probability that at least one of these bars contains a bill of $20 or larger? If required, round your answer to four decimal places. Probability =

A data set lists earthquake depths. The summary statistics are nequals600, x overbarequals6.69 km, sequals4.25 km. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim of a seismologist that these earthquakes are from a population with a mean equal to 6.00. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Wire electrical-discharge machining (WEDM) is a process used to manufacture conductive hard metal components. It uses a continuously moving wire that serves as an electrode. Coating on the wire electrode allows for cooling of the wire electrode core and provides an improved cutting performance. An article gave the following sample observations on total coating layer thickness (in µm) of eight wire electrodes used for WEDM.

2. (8 pts.) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the rate of Chlamydia infections among American women ages 20 to 24 is 2791.5 per 100,000. Take a random sample of three American women in this age group. (a) What is the probability that all of them have a Chlamydia infection? (b) What is the probability that none of them has a Chlamydia infection? (c) What is the probability that at least one of them has a Chlamydia infection? (d) What is the probability that at most one has a Chlamydia infection?

Annual high temperatures in a certain location have been tracked for several years. Let X represent the number of years after 2000 and Y the high temperature. Based on the data shown below, calculate the linear regression equation using technology (each constant to 2 decimal places). x y 3 35.01 4 35.38 5 37.75 6 36.12 7 36.49 8 40.16 9 38.93 10 39.7 11 42.77 12 43.24 13 42.11 14 44.08 The equation is ˆ y = x + Interpret the y-intercept of the equation: In 2003, the temperature was about 0.84. It does not make sense to interpret the intercept in this scenario. In 2014, the temperature was about 44.08. In 2003, the temperature was about 32.17. In 2000, the temperature was about 32.17

In a class students were asked to report their gender and whether they had ever been in a car accident. Results are shown in the following table:
Ever had a car accident? | ||
---|---|---|
Gender | Yes | No |
Male | 10 | 10 |
Female | 5 | 24 |
We want to test if car accident and gender are related or not.
What is the expected frequency of male and car accident? [Answer to 2 decimal places.]
Tries 0/5 |
What is the expected frequency of male and no car accident? [Answer to 2 decimal places.]

What is the expected frequency of female and car accident? [Answer to 2 decimal places.]
Tries 0/5 |
What is the expected frequency of female and no car accident? [Answer to 2 decimal places.]

To test independence between gender and car accidents, what is the value of chi-square test statistic? [Answer to 3 decimal places.]
Tries 0/5 |
Suppose we are testing:
Null hypothesis: gender and car accidents are
not related,
against
Alternative hypothesis: gender and car accidents
are related.
If the p-value associated to the ch-square test-statistics is
