(20.37) Researchers claim that women speak significantly more words per day than men. One estimate is that a woman uses about 20,000 words per day while a man uses about 7,000. To investigate such claims, one study used a special device to record the conversations of male and female university students over a four- day period. From these recordings, the daily word count of the 20 men in the study was determined. Here are their daily word counts:
What value we should remove from observation for applying t procedures? A 90% confidence interval (±±10) for the mean number of words per day of men at this university is from to words. Is there evidence at the 10% level that the mean number of words per day of men at this university differs from 7000?

You started taking the bus to work. The local transit authority says that a bus should arrive at your bus stop every five minutes. After a while, you notice you spend a lot more than five minutes waiting for the bus, so you start to keep a record.
You spend the next two months recording how long it takes for the bus to arrive to the bus stop. This give a total of sixty observations that denote the number of minutes it took for the bus to arrive (rounded to the nearest minute). These observations are hosted at
https://mattbutner.github.io/data/bus_stop_time.csv
Load these data into R as a data frame titled bus_stop_time
Create a histogram of the time_until_bus varaible. Would you say that five minutes is a reasonable guess for the average arrival time based on this picture alone?
Create 95% confidence interval for the bus arrival times using the Z distribution. Does 5 minutes fall within the 95% confidence interval?
How would you communicate your finding to the local transit authority?

In a random sample of 63 professional actors, it was found that 39
were extroverts.
(a) Let p represent the proportion of all actors who
are extroverts. Find a point estimate for p. (Round your
answer to four decimal places.)
(b) Find a 95% confidence interval for p. (Round your
answers to two decimal places.)

Give a brief interpretation of the meaning of the confidence
interval you have found.
We are 5% confident that the true proportion of actors who are extroverts falls within this interval.We are 95% confident that the true proportion of actors who are extroverts falls outside this interval. We are 5% confident that the true proportion of actors who are extroverts falls above this interval.We are 95% confident that the true proportion of actors who are extroverts falls within this interval.
(c) Do you think the conditions np > 5 and nq
> 5 are satisfied in this problem? Explain why this would be an
important consideration.
Yes, the conditions are satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p̂ is approximately binomial.No, the conditions are not satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p̂ is approximately normal. Yes, the conditions are satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p̂ is approximately normal.No, the conditions are not satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p̂ is approximately binomial.

Hale's TV Productions is considering producing a pilot for a comedy series in the hope of selling it to a major television network. The network may decide to reject the series, but it may also decide to purchase the rights to the series for either one or two years. At this point in time, Hale may either produce the pilot and wait for the network's decision or transfer the rights for the pilot and series to a competitor for $250,000. Hale's decision alternatives and profits (in thousands of dollars) are as follows:
State of Nature | |||
Decision Alternative | Reject, S1 | 1 Year, S2 | 2 Years, S3 |
Produce pilot, d1 | -150 | 50 | 450 |
Sell to competitor, d2 | 250 | 250 | 250 |
The probabilities for the states of nature are P(S1) = 0.20, P(S2) = 0.30, and P(S3) = 0.50. For a consulting fee of $45,000, an agency will review the plans for the comedy series and indicate the overall chances of a favorable network reaction to the series. Assume that the agency review will result in a favorable (F) or an unfavorable (U) review and that the following probabilities are relevant:
P(F) = 0.63 | P(S1|F) = 0.07 | P(S1|U) = 0.41 |
P(U) = 0.37 | P(S2|F) = 0.27 | P(S2|U) = 0.38 |
P(S3|F) = 0.66 | P(S3|U) = 0.21 |
a. What is the expected value?
b. What is the expected value of perfect information?
c. What is the expected value of the agency's information? Round your answer to two decimal places.
d. What is the maximum that Hale should be willing to pay for the information? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Physical activity of obese young adults. In a study on the physical activity of young adults, pediatric researchers measured overall physical activity as the total number of registered movements (counts) over a period of time and then computed the number of counts per minute (cpm) for each subject (International Journal of Obesity, Jan. 2007). The study revealed that the overall physical activity of obese young adults has a mean of μ = 320 cpm μ = 320 cpm and a standard deviation of σ = 100 c p m . σ = 100 c p m . (In comparison, the mean for young adults of normal weight is 540 cpm.) In a random sample of n = 100 n = 100 obese young adults, consider the sample mean counts per minute, ¯ x x ‾ . Describe the sampling distribution of ¯ x x ‾ . What is the probability that the mean overall physical activity level of the sample is between 300 and 310 cpm? What is the probability that the mean overall physical activity level of the sample is greater than 360 cpm?

As a data scientist of a company, you want to analyze the following data collected by your company which relates the advertising expenditure A in thousands of dollars to total sales S in thousands of dollars. The following table shows this relationship
Advertising Expenditure (A) | Total Sales (S) |
18.6 | 312 |
18.8 | 322 |
18.8 | 333 |
18.8 | 317 |
19 | 301 |
19 | 320 |
19.2 | 305 |
Using Advertising expenditure (A) as the domain and Total Sales (S) as the range, the data is not a function because the value 18.8 and 19 appear in the domain more than once with a different corresponding value of the range each time.
--Interpret the slope and y-intercept of this equation.
--Express this equation as a function S of A and find its domain.
--Predict the sales if the advertising expenditure is $25000.
