According to a survey in a country, 18% of adults do not own a credit card. Suppose a simple random sample of 900 adults is obtained. (b) What is the probability that in a random sample of 900 adults, more than 22% do not own a credit card? The probability is what.? (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Interpret this probability. If 100 different random samples of 900 adults were obtained, one would expect nothing to result in more than 22% not owning a credit card. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.).
(c) What is the probability that in a random sample of 900 adults, between 17% and 22% do not own a credit card?
Interpret this probability. If 100 different random samples of 900 adults were obtained, one would expect ? to result in between 17% and 22% not owning a credit card.
(Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

Statistics:
Construct a stem and leaf diagram, a frequency distribution table, plus develop a bar chart, pie chart, histogram, polygon and an ogive from the following data set.
When you construct the pie charts, bar graphs, etc. Use the calculation of 2K to find the number of classes you will need to construct the frequency distribution table. You will need to use lower class limits, lower-class boundaries, midpoints upper-class boundaries, upper-class limits, frequency, relative frequency, and cumulative frequency.
DATA:

The Pew Research Center took a random sample of 2928 adults in the United States in September 2008. In this sample, 53% of 2928 people believed that reducing the spread of acquired immune sample deficiency disease (AIDS) and other infectious diseases was an important policy goal for the U.S. government.

Directions: Answer the following questions. Round probabilities to four digits after the decimal. For full credit, you will need to show your work justifying how you determined numerical values. You may consider adding additional blank space to this document, printing, filling out by hand, and then uploading a scan or pictures of your answers. You may also re-write these questions on a separate sheet of paper and use as much space as you need to answer the questions.
Charles is a notoriously bad student who never studies for his quizzes. One day, his teacher gives a four question, multiple-choice quiz. Each question has five answer options (a, b, c, d, and e) and each question has only one correct answer option. Since Charles doesn’t study, we might assume that he is going to guess on each of the four questions.
Let X be a discrete random variable representing the number of questions Charles may correctly answer.

Part 2. (4 points) Using the table you constructed, find the expected value, μ, and the standard deviation, σ. Please show your work.
Part 3. (2 points) A statistician might consider an outcome with probability less than 0.05 to be “unusual”. Based on this criterion, should we be surprised if Charles guesses three or more questions correctly? Please explain briefly.
Part 4. (2 points) Alternatively, a statistician might consider an outcome to be “unusual” if it is more than two standard deviations away from the mean. Based on this criterion, should we be surprised if Charles guesses three or more questions correctly? Please explain briefly.
Part 5. (2 points) Suppose Charles happens to get three out of four questions correct. When computing the probabilities in problem 1, we assumed that Charles was guessing on every question; based on your answers to problems 3 and 4, do you think our assumption is plausible? What is an alternative explanation for Charles’s performance?

A major department store chain is interested in estimating the mean amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit to the chain’s new store in the mall. Fifteen credit card accounts were randomly sampled and analyzed with the following results: X = $50.50 and S = 20. Assuming that the amount spent follows a normal distribution, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit to the chain’s new store in the mall. assuming that the amount spent follows a normal distribution.

A sales and marketing management magazine conducted a survey on salespeople cheating on their expense reports and other unethical conduct. In the survey on 200 managers, 58% of the managers have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report, 50% have caught salespeople working a second job on company time, 22% have caught salespeople listing a “bar” as a restaurant on an expense report, and 19% have caught salespeople giving a kickback to a customer. To convert the data into useful information, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population proportion of managers who have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report, determine the critical value, and sampling error. Explain what management can learn from the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population proportion of managers who have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report.

Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.23 °F and a standard deviation of 0.63 °F.
1. A hospital uses 100.6 °F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy persons would be considered to have a fever? Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of 100.6 °F is appropriate?
2. Physicians want to select a minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests. What should that temperature be, if we want only 5.0% of healthy people to exceed it? (Such a result is a false positive, meaning that the test result is positive, but the subject is not really sick.)
a. The percentage of normal and healthy persons considered to have a fever is __
a1. Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of 100.6 °F is appropriate?
b. The minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests should be __ if we want only 5.0% of healthy people to exceed it.

a. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement. Are many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too tall?
b. If this branch of the military changes the height requirements so that all women are eligible except the shortest 1% and the tallest 2%, what are the new height requirements?

Sigall and Ostrove (1975) did an experiment to assess whether the physical attractiveness of a defendant on trial for a crime had an effect on the severity of the sentence given in mock jury trials. Each of the participants in this study was randomly assigned to one of the following three treatment groups; every participant received a packet that described a burglary and gave background information about the accused person. The three treatment groups differed in the type of information they were given about the accused person’s appearance. Members of Group 1 were shown a photograph of an attractive person; members of Group 2 were shown a photograph of an unattractive person; members of Group 3 saw no photograph. Some of their results are described here. Each participant was asked to assign a sentence (in years) to the accused person; the researchers predicted that more attractive persons would receive shorter sentences. | |||
a. | Prior to assessment of the outcome, the researchers did a manipulation check. Members of Groups 1 and 2 rated the attractiveness (on a 1 to 9 scale, with 9 being the most attractive) of the person in the photo. They reported that for the attractive photo, M = 7.53; for the unattractive photo, M = 3.20, F(1, 108) = 184.29. Was this difference statistically significant (using α = .05)? | ||
b. | What was the effect size for the difference in (2a)? | ||
c. | Was their attempt to manipulate perceived attractiveness successful? | ||
d. | Why does the F ratio in (2a) have just df = 1 in the numerator? | ||
e. | The mean length of sentence given in the three groups was as follows: | ||
Group 1: Attractive photo, M = 2.80 | |||
Group 2: Unattractive photo, M = 5.20 | |||
Group 3: No photo, M = 5.10 | |||
They did not report a
single overall F comparing all three groups; instead, they
reported selected pairwise comparisons. For Group 1 versus Group 2,
F(1, 108) = 6.60, p < .025. Was this difference statistically significant? If they had done an overall F to assess the significance of differences of means among all three groups, do you think this overall F would have been statistically significant? |
|||
f. | Was the difference in mean length of sentence in part (2e) in the predicted direction? | ||
g. | Calculate and interpret an effect-size estimate for this obtained F. | ||
h. | What additional information would you need about these data to do a Tukey honestly significant difference test to see whether Groups 2 and 3, as well as 1 and 3, differed significantly? |
