Please clearly state the step number next to the answers given, thank you!

A political researcher wishes to know if political affiliation and age are related. He has collected data on 283 persons in three age categories. Is there evidence that age and political affiliation are related?

Age Democrat Republican Independent Total
18-31 37 38 19 94
32-51 43 38 23 104
52-68 32 35 18 85
Total 112 111 60 283

A random sample of 12 supermarkets from Region 1 had mean sales of 72.4 with a standard deviation of 6.2. A random sample of 16 supermarkets from Region 2 had a mean sales of 78.3 with a standard deviation of 5.3. Does the test marketing reveal a difference in potential mean sales per market in Region 2? Let μ1 be the mean sales per market in Region 1 and μ2 be the mean sales per market in Region 2. Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Assume that the population variances are not equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.

Some types of nerve cells have the ability to regenerate a part of the cell that has been amputated. In a study of this process in lemurs, researchers cut nerves emanating from the spinal cord of a sample of 31animals and measured the content of creatine phosphate (CP). They found a sample mean of 0.213 mg/g, with a standard deviation of 0.094 mg/g.In healthy cells, the CP content is 0.15 mg/g. Assuming all relevant assumptions hold,conduct the appropriate test to determine if CP content in regenerating nerve cells differs from this amount in this population of lemurs.Given: t∗df=2.042

At Rio Salado College, it was observed that 26% of the students were still classified as dependents on their parents. However, in the honors program for students, 70 out of 222 students are dependents. The administrators want to know if the proportion of dependent students in the honors program is significantly different from the proportion for the school district. Test at the α=.05 level of significance.

A newspaper infographic titled "Social Media Jeopardizing Your Job?" summarized data from a survey of 1,845 recruiters and human resource professionals. The infographic indicated that 52% of the people surveyed had reconsidered a job candidate based on his or her social media profile. Assume that the sample is representative of the population of recruiters and human resource professionals in the United States.

Give an interpretation of the confidence level of 95%.

Of all possible random samples, 95% would result in an interval that includes the actual value of the population proportion.

Of all possible random samples, 95% would result in an interval that lies below the actual value of the population proportion.

Of all possible random samples, 5% would result in an interval that lies above the actual value of the population proportion.

Of all possible random samples, 95% would result in an interval that is centered at the actual value of the population proportion.

Assuming a random variable X is distributed with a mean of the second digit of your student number, a variance of the last digit of your student number divided by 10 ( if the last digit is zero, use 9).

  1. If you take 64 independent samples from X, what is the probability that the sample means is greater than 5?
  2. The sample mean that you get from the previous sample is 3.5; please construct a 95% confidence interval based on the previous assumption.  
  3. Interpret the confidence interval that you constructed.
  4. Based on your sample results that the sample mean is 3.5, assuming you do not know the true populations mean, test the hypothesis that the population mean of X equals to the third digit of your student number. Do you reject or nor reject your hypothesis?
  5. Do you think you might have made mistake in your conclusion in step D? Why?
  6. If you increase your sample size to 100, would the conclusion in step D change? Why and why not?

The Apple, Inc. sales manager for the Chicago West Suburban region is disturbed about the large number of complaints her office is receiving about defective ipods. New Apple CEO Tim Cook is also very displeased and wants the situation remedied as soon as possible.

The sales manager examines this Excel file ipod Weekly Complaints, which shows the number of complaints concerning defective ipods received by her office for each of the immediately preceding 52 weeks.

Question 1. Make a histogram of the number of complaints received each week. As your bin range use the values 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 listed in the Excel file. Then select the choice below that is the most appropriate conclusion from the histogram (2 submissions allowed).

The histogram is severely left-skewed; therefore a normal model is not appropriate to describe the number of complaints received each week.The histogram has several outliers; therefore a normal model is not appropriate to describe the number of complaints received each week.     Based on the histogram, it is appropriate to use a normal model to describe the distribution of the number of complaints received each week.The histogram appears to be bi-modal; therefore a normal model is not appropriate to describe the number of complaints received each week.The histogram is severely right-skewed; therefore a normal model is not appropriate to describe the number of complaints received each week.

Question 2.What is the probability that between 77 and 114 complaints are received in one week? Use a N(108,20) model to approximate the distribution of weekly complaints.

ANSWERL .5573

Question 3. Tim Cook decrees that the next time the number of complaints received in one week exceeds the value of the third quartile Q3, he will register a strong complaint with the ipod assembly plant in China. What is the value of Q3? (Note: as in question 2, use a N(108,20) model to approximate the distribution of weekly complaints). Use 1 decimal place in your answer.
