Data from adoption studies on handedness indicate that the effects of shared biological heritage are more powerful determinants of hand preference than sociocultural factors. Biological offspring were found to show nonrandom distributions of right and non-right handedness as a function of parental handedness. In contrast, the handedness distribution of adopted children as a function of parental handedness was essentially random. The following table gives the handedness of biological offspring as a function of parental handedness.
Biological Offspring
Parental Handedness
(father × mother)
Right-Handed Left-Handed
Right × Right 298 37
Right × Left 29 6
Left × Right 24 6
(a) Find the values in cells (2,2) and (3,2) of the expected table.
(b) Can a chi-square analysis be performed on the above table?
(c) Combine the last two rows in the above table to create a new 2 × 2 table. (The meaning of the 2nd row in this new table would be "at least one of the parents is left-handed".)
If we use the resulting 2 × 2 table to test the hypothesis that the handedness of the biological offspring is independent of the handedness of the parents using the 1% significance level, what is the value of the test statistic?
(d) Find the critical value for the test in (c).
(e) What is the conclusion?

Problem #2(a):

expected values (correct to 3 decimals)
separate your answers with a comma

(A) Yes, because at least one of the expected frequencies is less than 5. (B) Yes, because at least one of the observed frequencies is less than 5. (C) No, because at least one of the expected frequencies is less than 5. (D) No, because the population is not normal. (E) Yes, because only some of the expected frequencies are less than 5. (F) No, because at least one of the observed frequencies is less than 5. (G) Yes, because all of the observed frequencies are at least 5.

Greenville Cabinets received a contract to produce speaker cabinets for a major speaker manufacturer. The contract calls for the production of 4,100 bookshelf speakers and 4,900 floor speakers over the next two months, with the following delivery schedule:

Model Month 1 Month 2
Bookshelf 2,500 1,600
Floor 1,900 3,000

Greenville estimates that the production time for each bookshelf model is 0.8 hour and the production time for each floor model is 1 hour. The raw material costs are $14 for each bookshelf model and $16 for each floor model. Labor costs are $26 per hour using regular production time and $37 using overtime. Greenville has up to 2,800 hours of regular production time available each month and up to 1,400 additional hours of overtime available each month. If production for either cabinet exceeds demand in month 1, the cabinets can be stored at a cost of $9 per cabinet. For each product, determine the number of units that should be manufactured each month on regular time and on overtime to minimize total production and storage costs. If required, round your answers to the nearest whole number. If an amount is zero, enter "0".

Model Month 1 Month 2
Bookshelf _______ _______
Floor _______ _______
Overtime Manufacture

We are interested in studying the performance of college students on statistics exams. In any
given semester, there are hundreds of students taking statistics in the department of psychology,
mathematics, business, or other related departments that offer a course on statistics. We
randomly select 20 students from the roster of all students enrolled in statistics for the spring
semester and administer questionnaires throughout the semester, as well as collect their
assignment and exam grades. In our first analysis, we are interested in examining the grades
from all the students on Exam 1 in their course. All exams were out of 100 points. This data is
below:

90 75 67 56 89 88 34 67 95 81 76 69 72 73 79 83 42 53 78 80

1. Draw a frequency distribution of the data. What can you determine from this
distribution?
2. What is your dependent variable and what scale of measurement is this variable?
pt.
3. We collected data from 20 students. Would you consider these students to be a
sample or population? Explain your answer in 1-2 sentences.
4. Is it important to have a normal distribution here? Why or why not?
5. Is this data skewed? Explain your answer?
6. Calculate the mean, median, and mode for this data.
7. Calculate the variance and standard deviation for this data using the table below.

1. Suppose it is known that the IQ scores of a certain population of adults are approxi- mately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 15. A simple random sample of 25 adults drawn from this population had a mean IQ score of 105.

b)Construct and interpret the 95% confidence interval for population average IQ from these data.

c)Based on the 95% CI, is there evidence at 5% significance level that the average IQ in this population is not equal to 100? Explain.

Data were collected on the top 1,000 financial advisers. Company A had 239 people on the list and another company, Company B, had 121 people on the list. A sample of 16 of the advisers from Company A and 10 of the advisers from Company B showed that the advisers managed many very large accounts with a large variance in the total amount of funds managed. The standard deviation of the amount managed by advisers from Company A was s1 = $587 million. The standard deviation of the amount managed by advisers from Company B was s2 = $485 million. Conduct a hypothesis test at α = 0.10 to determine if there is a significant difference in the population variances for the amounts managed by the two companies. What is your conclusion about the variability in the amount of funds managed by advisers from the two firms? State the null and alternative hypotheses.

In 1997 a woman sued a computer keyboard manufacturer, charging that her repetitive stress injuries were caused by the keyboard (Genessey v. Digital Equipment Corporation). The jury awarded about $3.5 million for pain and suffering, but the court then set aside that award as being unreasonable compensation. In making this determination, the court identified a "normative" group of 27 similar cases and specified a reasonable award as one within 2 standard deviations of the mean of the awards in the 27 cases. The 27 award amounts (in thousands of dollars) are in the table below.

A forester studying the effects of fertilization on certain pine forests in the Southeast is interested in estimating the average diameters of pine trees. In studying diameters of similar trees for many years, he has discovered that these measurements ( in inches ) are normally distributed with mean 23 inches and standard deviation 4 inches.

a) IF the forester samples n=16 trees, find the probability that the sample mean will be less than 26 inches.

b. Suppose the population mean is unknown, and the mean diameters of the selected 16 trees is 21.5 inches, construct a 94% confidence interval for the population mean.
