For drivers aged 20-24 there is a 34% chance of having a car
accident in a one year period (based on data from the National
Safety Council). |
(a) | Based on this data, in a group of 11 randomly selected drivers aged 20-24, find the probability that at least 2 of them will have a car accident in the next year. |
(b) | In a group of 260 drivers aged 20-24, find the mean number of drivers who will have a car accident in the next year. |
(c) | In a group of 260 drivers aged 20-24, find the standard deviation of the number of drivers who will have a car accident in the next year. |
(d) | Suppose that a group of 260 drivers aged 20-24 are randomly selected, and 106 of them have had a car accident in the last year. Is this a significantly high number that would perhaps suggest that the given percentage of drivers aged 20-24 that have a car accident in a one year period (i.e., 34%) is not correct? |

PLEASE SHOW CALCULATOR STEPS INCLUDING WHAT YOU INPUT FOR THE TESTS Just before the 2004 Democratic convention, Rasmussen Reports polled 1500 likely voters at random and found that 705 favored John Kerry. Just after the convention, they took another random sample of 1500 likely voters and found that 735 favored Kerry. Did Kerry’s favorability rating increase after the national convention? Use a significance level of a = 0.05.
a) Give the name of the hypothesis test that would be appropriate for this situation. (1 point)
b) State the hypotheses in symbols. (2 points)
c) Use your calculator to perform the appropriate hypothesis test and report the test statistic and p-value. Be sure to write out what you entered in your calculator. (3 points)
d) Make a sketch of the test distribution. Be sure to label the test statistic and p-value. (2 points)
e) Write a full conclusion for this test in the context of the problem. (2 points)
f) Find a 90% confidence interval for the difference in John Kerry’s favorability rating before and after the convention. Do not make these calculations by hand. Instead, use the correct command in your graphing calculator and write out what you entered. (3 points)

The following excerpt is from the racial profiling data collection resource center In 2006, the New York City Police Department stopped a half-million pedestrians for suspected criminal involvement. Raw89 percent of the stops involved nonwhites. Do these statistics point to a racial bias in police officers' decisions to stop particular pedestrians? o they indicate that officers are particularly intrusive when stopping nonwhites?
Write a report that answers the questions posed using the fact thst 44% of New York City residents were classified as white in 2006. In your report, cite some shortcomings in using the proportion of white residents in the city to formulate likelihoods.

Dr. X would like to examine the relative effectiveness of two teaching methods for improving college students’ statistical skills. A control group in which students received no training is also included in the study. A sample of 30 college students is randomly selected from the subject pool. These individuals are then randomly assigned to one of the three teaching methods. The dependent variable is a measure of statistical skills after one semester.

1) Use the normal distribution and the sample
results to complete the test of the
hypotheses. Use a 5% significance level. Assume the results come
from a
random sample.
a) Test ?!: ? = 15 ?? ?!: ? > 15 using the
sample results ? = 17.2 , ? =
6.4 with ? = 40
b) Test ?!: ? = 100 ?? ?!: ? < 100 using the
sample results ? = 91.7 , ? =
12.5 with ? = 30
c) Test ?!: ? = 500 ?? ?!: ? ≠ 500 using the
sample results ? = 432 , ? =
118 with ? = 75
2) Use the Student-t distribution and the
sample results to complete the test of
the hypotheses. Use a 5% significance level. Assume the results
come from a
random sample, and if the sample size small, assume the
underlying
distribution is relatively small.
a) Test ?!: ? = 10 ?? ?!: ? > 10 using the
sample results ? = 13.2 , ? =
8.7 with ? = 12
b) Test ?!: ? = 120 ?? ?!: ? < 120 using the
sample results ? = 112.3 , ? =
18.4 with ? = 100
c) Test ?!: ? = 4 ?? ?!: ? ≠ 4 using the sample
results ? = 4.8 , ? = 2.3 with
? = 15
3) A t-test for a mean uses a sample of 15
observations. Find the t-test statistic
value that has a P-value of 0.05 when the alternative hypothesis
is
a) ?!: ? ≠ 0
b) ?!: ? > 0
c) ?!: ? < 0
4) A study has a random sample of 20 subjects.
The t-test statistic for testing
?!: ? = 100 is ? = 2.40. Find the approximate P-vale for
alternative
a) ?!: ? ≠ 100
b) ?!: ? > 100
c) ?!: ? < 100

Engineers at the American Lighting Company recently developed a new three-way light bulb that they say is more energy efficient than the company’s existing three-way light bulb. The also claim that the bulb will outlast the current bulb, which has an average lifetime of 700 hours. The standard deviation (σ) for the lifetime of bulbs is 75 hours. The American Lighting Company has decided that before it begins full scale production on the new light bulbs it should take a sample of 225 bulbs and determine whether the mean life of the new bulb exceeds the old bulb’s 700 hours. The sample of 225 bulbs gave a sample mean of 704 hours. Assuming a significance level of .05 perform all hypothesis testing steps. Does the sample support the claim that the average lifetime of the new bulb is longer?
