The University of California, Berkeley (Cal) and Stanford University are athletic archrivals in the Pacific 10 conference. Stanford fans claim Stanford's basketball team is better than Cal's team; Cal fans challenge this assertion. In 2004, Stanford University's basketball team went nearly undefeated within the Pac 10. Stanford's record, and those of Cal and the other eight teams in the conference, are listed in In all, there were 89 games played among the Pac 10 teams in the season. Stanford won 17 of the 18 games it played; Cal won 9 of 18. We would like to use these data to test the Stanford fans' claim that Stanford's team is better than Cal's. That is, we would like to determine whether the difference between the two teams' performance reasonably could be attributed to chance, if the Stanford and Cal teams in fact have equal skill.

To test the hypothesis, we shall make a number of simplifying assumptions. First of all, we shall ignore the fact that some of the games were played between Stanford and Cal: we shall pretend that all the games were played against other teams in the conference. One strong version of the hypothesis that the two teams have equal skill is that the outcomes of the games would have been the same had the two teams swapped schedules. That is, suppose that when Washington played Stanford on a particular day, Stanford won. Under this strong hypothesis, had Washington played Cal that day instead of Stanford, Cal would have won.

A weaker version of the hypothesis is that the outcome of Stanford's games is determined by independent draws from a 0-1 box that has a fraction p_C of tickets labeled "1" (Stanford wins the game if the ticket drawn is labeled "1"), that the outcome of Berkeley's games is determined similarly, by independent draws from a 0-1 box with a fraction p_S of tickets labeled "1," and that p_S = p_C. This model has some shortcomings. (For instance, when Berkeley and Stanford play each other, the independence assumption breaks down, and the fraction of tickets labeled "1" would need to be 50%. Also, it seems unreasonable to think that the chance of winning does not depend on the opponent. We could refine the model, but that would require knowing more details about who played whom, and the outcome.)

Nonetheless, this model does shed some light on how surprising the records would be if the teams were, in some sense, equally skilled. This box model version allows us to use Fisher's Exact test for independent samples, considering "treatment" to be playing against Stanford, and "control" to be playing against Cal, and conditioning on the total number of wins by both teams (26).

Q1) On the assumption that the null hypothesis is true, the bootstrap estimate of the standard error of the sample percentage of games won by Stanford is ?

Q2) On the assumption that the null hypothesis is true, the bootstrap estimate of the standard error of the sample percentage of games won by Cal is ?

Q3) The approximate P-value for z test against the two-sided alternative that the Stanford and Berkeley teams have different skills is ?

Note :*The z-score for the difference in sample percentages is 2.97685*

A social scientist would like to analyze the relationship between educational attainment (in years of higher education) and annual salary (in $1,000s). He collects data on 20 individuals. A portion of the data is as follows:

a. Find the sample regression equation for the model: Salary = β₀ + β₁Education + ε. (Round answers to 2 decimal places.)

Salary^=    +   Education

b. Interpret the coefficient for Education.

• As Education increases by 1 unit, an individual’s annual salary is predicted to increase by $6,530.

• As Education increases by 1 unit, an individual’s annual salary is predicted to decrease by $6,530.

• As Education increases by 1 unit, an individual’s annual salary is predicted to increase by $8,590.

• As Education increases by 1 unit, an individual’s annual salary is predicted to decrease by $8,590.

c. What is the predicted salary for an individual who completed 7 years of higher education? (Round coefficient estimates to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)

A transect is an archaeological study area that is 1/5 mile wide and 1 mile long. A site in a transect is the location of a significant archaeological find. Let x represent the number of sites per transect. In a section of Chaco Canyon, a large number of transects showed that x has a population variance σ² = 42.3. In a different section of Chaco Canyon, a random sample of 26 transects gave a sample variance s² = 46.7 for the number of sites per transect. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the variance in the new section is greater than 42.3. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population variance.

(a) What is the level of significance?


State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H_o: σ² = 42.3; H₁: σ² < 42.3

H_o: σ² = 42.3; H₁: σ² > 42.3

.010 < P-value < 0.0250

.005 < P-value < 0.010

AT&T would like to test the hypothesis that the proportion of 18- to 34-year-old Americans that own a cell phone is less than the proportion of 35- to 49-year-old Americans. A random sample of 200 18- to 34-year-old Americans found that 126 owned a smartphone. A random sample of 175 35- to 49-year-old Americans found that 119 owned a smartphone. If Population 1 is defined as 18- to 34-year-old Americans and Population 2 is defined as 35- to 49-year-old Americans, and using LaTeX: \alpha α = 0.01, the conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that because the test statistic is _______________________________________________________________. less than the critical value, AT&T can conclude that the proportion of 18- to 34-year-old Americans that own a cell phone is less than the proportion of 35- to 49-year-old Americans less than the critical value, AT&T cannot conclude that the proportion of 18- to 34-year-old Americans that own a cell phone is less than the proportion of 35- to 49-year-old Americans more than the critical value, AT&T can conclude that the proportion of 18- to 34-year-old Americans that own a cell phone is less than the proportion of 35- to 49-year-old Americans more than the critical value, AT&T cannot conclude that the proportion of 18- to 34-year-old Americans that own a cell phone is less than the proportion of 35- to 49-year-old Americans none of these answers are correct

The relationship between hospital patient-to-nurse ratio and various characteristics of job satisfaction and patient care has been the focus of a number of research studies. Suppose x = patient-to-nurse ratio is the independent variable. For each of the following potential dependent variables, indicate whether you expect the slope of the least-squares line to be positive or negative and give a brief explanation for your choice.

(a) y = a measure of nurse's job satisfaction (higher values indicate higher satisfaction)

We expect the slope to be negative. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have more stress and less job satisfaction. We expect the slope to be negative. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have less stress and more job satisfaction. We expect the slope to be positive. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have less stress and more job satisfaction. We expect the slope to be positive. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have more stress and less job satisfaction.

(b) y = a measure of patient satisfaction with hospital care (higher values indicate higher satisfaction)

We expect the slope to be positive. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have less time with patients and the patients will have less satisfaction with their care. We expect the slope to be positive. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have more time with patients and the patients will have more satisfaction with their care. We expect the slope to be negative. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have less time with patients and the patients will have less satisfaction with their care. We expect the slope to be negative. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have more time with patients and the patients will have more satisfaction with their care.

(c) y = a measure of patient quality of care

We expect the slope to be positive. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have more time with patients and the quality of care will increase. We expect the slope to be negative. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have less time with patients and the quality of care will decrease. We expect the slope to be negative. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have more time with patients and the quality of care will increase. We expect the slope to be positive. With more patients to nurses, the nurses will have less time with patients and the quality of care will decrease.
