The table below gives the completion percentage and interception percentage for five randomly selected NFL quarterbacks. Based on this data, consider the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1xy^=b0+b1x,  for using the completion percentage to predict the interception percentage for an NFL quarterback. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.

In the following statements f(theta; x) is the likelihood function. Select which of the following are true statements about maximum likelihood estimates (MLE's).

Hint: In general, maximizing a function f(x) is equivalent to minimizing -f(x).

Group of answer choices

MLE's are unbiased.

MLE's minimize the negative log likelihood function, -log(f(theta; x))

MLE's are always easy to find.

MLE's maximize the likelihood function f(theta; x).

MLE's are not affected by outliers in the data.

Note: to answer the questions below, subtract (Son’s Height – Father’s Height).

  1. What is (are) the parameter(s) of interest?  Choose one of the following symbols m(the population mean);mD(the mean difference from paired (dependent) data);m1- m2 (the difference of two independent means) and describe the parameter in context of this question in one sentence.
  1. Depending on your answer to part (a), construct one or two relative frequency histograms.  Remember to properly title and label the graph(s).  Copy and paste these graphs into your document.
  1. Describe the shape of the histogram(s) in one sentence.
  1. Depending on your answer to part (a), construct one or two boxplots and copy and paste these graphs into your document.
  1. Does the boxplot (or do the boxplots) show any outliers?  Answer this question in one sentence and identify any outliers if they are present.
  1. Considering your answers to parts (c) and (e), is inference appropriate in this case?  Why or why not?  Defend your answer using the graphs in two to three sentences.

In an article in the Journal of Advertising, Weinberger and Spotts compare the use of humor in television ads in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Suppose that independent random samples of television ads are taken in the two countries. A random sample of 400 television ads in the United Kingdom reveals that 143 use humor, while a random sample of 500 television ads in the United States reveals that 126 use humor.

(a) Set up the null and alternative hypotheses needed to determine whether the proportion of ads using humor in the United Kingdom differs from the proportion of ads using humor in the United States.

(b) Test the hypotheses you set up in part a by using critical values and by setting α equal to .10, .05, .01, and .001. How much evidence is there that the proportions of U.K. and U.S. ads using humor are different? (Round the proportion values to 3 decimal places. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

(c) Set up the hypotheses needed to attempt to establish that the difference between the proportions of U.K. and U.S. ads using humor is more than .05 (five percentage points). Test these hypotheses by using a p-value and by setting α equal to .10, .05, .01, and .001. How much evidence is there that the difference between the proportions exceeds .05? (Round the proportion values to 3 decimal places. Round your z value to 2 decimal places and p-value to 4 decimal places.) (d) Calculate a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of U.K. ads using humor and the proportion of U.S. ads using humor. Interpret this interval. Can we be 95 percent confident that the proportion of U.K. ads using humor is greater than the proportion of U.S. ads using humor? (Round the proportion values to 3 decimal places. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

Suppose you wish to find out the answer to the questions “Do Americans prefer Coke or Pepsi?” You conduct a blind taste test in which individuals are randomly asked to drink one of the colas first, followed by the other cola, and then asked to disclose which drink they prefer. The results of your taste test indicate that 53 of 100 individuals prefer Pepsi. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if more than 50% of people prefer Pepsi to coca-cola. Use the ? = 0.05 level of significance.
