Today, the waves are crashing onto the beach every 5.8 seconds.
The times from when a person arrives at the shoreline until a
crashing wave is observed follows a Uniform distribution from 0 to
5.8 seconds. Round to 4 decimal places where
possible.

seconds after the person arrives is P(x = 1.5) = The probability
that it will take longer than 4.06 seconds for the wave to crash
onto the beach after the person arrives is P(x > 4.06) =

The authors of a paper studied a random sample of 351 Twitter users. For each Twitter user in the sample, the tweets sent during a particular time period were analyzed and the Twitter user was classified into one of the following categories based on the type of messages they usually sent.
Category | Description |
---|---|
IS | Information sharing |
OC | Opinions and complaints |
RT | Random thoughts |
ME | Me now (what I am doing now) |
O | Other |
The accompanying table gives the observed counts for the five categories (approximate values read from a graph in the paper).
Twitter Type | IS | OC | RT | ME | O |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Observed count | 53 | 60 | 66 | 99 | 73 |
Carry out a hypothesis test to determine if there is convincing evidence that the proportions of Twitter users falling into each of the five categories are not all the same. Use a significance level of
α = 0.05.
(Hint: See Example 14.3.)
Let p1, p2, p3, p4, and p5 be the proportions of Twitter users falling into the five categories.
State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: p1 =
p2 = p3 =
p4 = p5 = 0.5
Ha: H0 is not
true. H0: p1 =
p2 = p3 =
p4 = p5 = 351
Ha: H0 is not
true. H0:
p1 = p2 =
p3 = p4 =
p5 = 0.2
Ha: H0 is not
true. H0: p1 =
p2 = p3 =
p4 = p5 = 70
Ha: H0 is not
true. H0: p1 =
p2 = p3 =
p4 = p5 = 0.05
Ha: H0 is not
true.
Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use technology. Round your test statistic to three decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)
X2 = P-value =
State the conclusion in the problem context.
Do not reject H0. There is not convincing evidence to conclude that the proportions of Twitter users falling into the five categories are not all the same. Reject H0. There is not convincing evidence to conclude that the proportions of Twitter users falling into the five categories are not all the same. Reject H0. There is convincing evidence to conclude that the proportions of Twitter users falling into the five categories are not all the same. Do not reject H0. There is convincing evidence to conclude that the proportions of Twitter users falling into the five categories are not all the same.

Complete the following: At α = .05, test to see if there is a significant difference among the average GPA of all the students based on three areas of seating. Use both the critical and p-value approaches. Include hypotheses, critical values, results, and conclusions in the language of the problem.

1. An investigator wishes to compare the average time to relief of headache pain under three
distinct medications, call them Drugs A, B, and C. Fifteen patients who suffer from chronic
headaches are randomly selected for the investigation, and five subjects are randomly assigned
to each treatment. The following data reflect times to relief (in minutes) after taking the
assigned drug.
Test if there is a significant difference in the mean times among three treatments. Use α =
0.05. (apply ANOVA)
Drug A | Drug B | Drug C |

a) State the null and alternative hypothesis.
Null: all means are equal
Alternative: Atleast one mean is different
b) State your conclusion about the hypothesis based on the test statistic and critical value
Reject the hypothesis because there is a huge difference between the 3 treatments and their means

2. The Dean of Students at the University of Waterloo wanted to
estimate the proportion of students who are willing to report
cheating by fellow students. So, her staff surveyed the 172
students currently enrolled in the introduction to biology class.
The students were asked, “Imagine that you witness two students
cheating on a quiz. Would you tell the professor?” 19 of the
surveyed students responded “yes.” (11 points total)
a. Using these data, calculate the 90% confidence interval for the
proportion of all students at the University of Waterloo that would
report cheating. (4 points)
b. Interpret the confidence interval from part “a” in a sentence.
Interpret in terms of percentages, rather than proportions. (4
points)
c. Is it appropriate to use these data to estimate the proportion
of all students at the university that would report cheating? Why
or why not? (3 points)

You don't need to be rich to buy a few shares in a mutual fund.
The question is, how reliable are mutual funds as
investments? This depends on the type of fund you buy. The
following data are based on information taken from a mutual fund
guide available in most libraries.
A random sample of percentage annual returns for mutual funds
holding stocks in aggressive-growth small companies is shown
below.
-1.6 | 14.6 | 41.7 | 17.3 | -16.9 | 4.4 | 32.6 | -7.3 | 16.2 | 2.8 | 34.3 |
-10.6 | 8.4 | -7.0 | -2.3 | -18.5 | 25.0 | -9.8 | -7.8 | -24.6 | 22.8 |
Use a calculator to verify that s2 ≈ 349.621
for the sample of aggressive-growth small company funds.
Another random sample of percentage annual returns for mutual funds
holding value (i.e., market underpriced) stocks in large companies
is shown below.
16.5 | 0.4 | 7.1 | -1.1 | -3.2 | 19.4 | -2.5 | 15.9 | 32.6 | 22.1 | 3.4 |
-0.5 | -8.3 | 25.8 | -4.1 | 14.6 | 6.5 | 18.0 | 21.0 | 0.2 | -1.6 |
Use a calculator to verify that s2 ≈ 136.311
for value stocks in large companies.
Test the claim that the population variance for mutual funds
holding aggressive-growth in small companies is larger than the
population variance for mutual funds holding value stocks in large
companies. Use a 5% level of significance. How could your test
conclusion relate to the question of reliability of
returns for each type of mutual fund?
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
Ho: σ12 = σ22; H1: σ12 > σ22Ho: σ12 > σ22; H1: σ12 = σ22 Ho: σ22 = σ12; H1: σ22 > σ12Ho: σ12 = σ22; H1: σ12 ≠ σ22
(b) Find the value of the sample F statistic. (Use 2
decimal places.)

What assumptions are you making about the original distribution?
The populations follow independent normal distributions.The populations follow dependent normal distributions. We have random samples from each population. The populations follow independent normal distributions. We have random samples from each population.The populations follow independent chi-square distributions. We have random samples from each population.
(c) Find or estimate the P-value of the sample test
statistic. (Use 4 decimal places.)
p-value > 0.1000.050 < p-value < 0.100 0.025 < p-value < 0.0500.010 < p-value < 0.0250.001 < p-value < 0.010p-value < 0.001
(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or
fail to reject the null hypothesis?
At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant. At the α = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.At the α = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the
application.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the variance in percentage annual returns for mutual funds is greater in the aggressive-growth in small companies.
Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the variance in percentage annual returns for mutual funds is greater in the aggressive-growth in small companies.
Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the variance in percentage annual returns for mutual funds is greater in the aggressive-growth in small companies.
Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the variance in percentage annual returns for mutual funds is greater in the aggressive-growth in small companies.
