In: Statistics and Probability
Let's look at college students. The following table gives us data to examine the relation between age and full-time or part-time status. The numbers in the table are expressed as thousands of college students.
College students by age and status | ||
Status | ||
Age | Full-time | Part-time |
15-19 | 3392 | 394 |
20-24 | 5240 | 1110 |
25-34 | 1717 | 1732 |
35 and over | 756 | 2058 |
(a) What is the estimate of the number of full-time college
students aged 15 to 19?
thousands of college students
(b) Give the joint distribution of age and status for this table.
(Round your answers to four decimal places.)
Age | Full-time | Part-time |
15-19 | ||
20-24 | ||
25-34 | ||
35 and over |
(c) What is the marginal distribution of age? (Round your answers
to four decimal places.)
15-19 | |

–/1.25 POINTSMBASICSTAT7 25.E.006.MY NOTESASK YOUR TEACHERThe popularity of computer, video, online, and virtual reality games has raised concerns about their ability to negatively impact youth. The data in this exercise are based on a recent survey of 14- to 18-year-olds in Connecticut high schools. Here are the grade distributions of boys who have and have not played video games.
Grade average | |||
---|---|---|---|
A's and B's | C's | D's and F's | |
Played games | 735 | 449 | 193 |
Never played games | 205 | 144 | 80 |
The null hypothesis "no relationship" says that in the population of all 14- to 18- year-old boys in Connecticut, the proportions who have each grade average are the same for those who play and don't play video games.(a) Find the expected cell counts if this hypothesis is true, and display them in a two-way table. Check that the row and column totals agree with the totals for the observed counts. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
A's and B's | C's | D's and F's | |
Played games | |||
Never played games |
(b) Are there any large deviations between the observed counts and
the expected counts?
Yes, the observed and expected counts for played games and never played games in the A's and B's column are off by more than 15.Yes, the observed and expected counts for played games and never played games in the C's column are off by more than 15. Yes, the observed and expected counts for played games and never played games in the D's and F's column are off by more than 30.No, the observed and expected counts for played games and never played games in any column are off by more than 20.

The given data here is:
(We would be looking at the first 4 parts here )
Age | Full Time | Part Time | |
15-19 | 3392 | 394 | 3786 |
20-24 | 5240 | 1110 | 6350 |
25-34 | 1717 | 1732 | 3449 |
35 and over | 756 | 2058 | 2814 |
11105 | 5294 | 16399 |
a) The estimate of the number of full-time college students aged 15 to 19: ( can be directly seen from the above table)
= 3392
Therefore 3392 is the required estimate here.
b) The joint distribution probabilities here are computed as:
Age | Full Time | Part Time |
15-19 | 0.2068 | 0.0240 |
20-24 | 0.3195 | 0.0677 |
25-34 | 0.1047 | 0.1056 |
35 and over | 0.0461 | 0.1255 |
c) The marginal distribution of Age here is obtained as:
Age | P(Age) |
15-19 | 0.2309 |
20-24 | 0.3872 |
25-34 | 0.2103 |
35 and over | 0.1716 |
This is computed by getting the proportion of Frequency for Age
category from the total Frequency. This is graphed as:
d) For status, a similar probability distribution is obtained as:
Status | P(Status) |
Full Time | 0.67717544 |
Part Time | 0.32282456 |
