For the year 2009, the table below gives the percent of people living below the poverty line in the 26 states east of the Mississippi River. Answer the following questions based on this data. State Percent Alabama 7.5 Connecticut 7.9 Delaware 14.9 Florida 13.2 Georgia 12.1 Illinois 10.0 Indiana 9.9 Kentucky 11.9 Maine 13.3 Maryland 10.9 Massachusetts 7.9 Michigan 15.8 Mississippi 9.1 State Percent New Hampshire 14.6 New Jersey 8.3 New York 9.1 North Carolina 12.1 Ohio 13.6 Pennsylvania 10.5 Rhode Island 8.2 South Carolina 12.5 Tennessee 10.0 Vermont 7.3 Virginia 10.4 West Virginia 10.5 Wisconsin 16.1 Find the five-number summary for this data.

I am trying to find an appropriate statistical test to run for a research study using someone else's gathered data (so that no IRB process is needed). In their data they present:

Likelihood of Falling Asleep:

Never 17

Seldom 22

Moderate 15

High 12

Use of napping during duty:

Never 27

Rarely 19

Sometimes 16

Often 4

To simplify I think that it would probably be beneficial to group these as:

Likelihood of Falling Asleep

Never: 17

Yes: 49

Use of Napping During Duty:

Never: 27

Yes: 39

So variables are:

Likelihood of Falling Asleep

Use of Naps on Duty

Hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: Likelihood of Falling Asleep and variable Use of napping during duty are independent of each other.

Alternative hypothesis: Likelihood of Falling Asleep and variable Use of napping during duty are not independent.

Both of these seem to be independent variables, but is there a way to show a relationship (or lack thereof) without a dependent variable. In this case the dependent variable could be "pilot" of which 66 were surveyed for the study that I am taking the data from. Trying accurately to show whether or not the likelihood of falling asleep in the cockpit is related to whether or not the pilot naps on duty outside of the cockpit.

I think a Chi Square would be a way to attempt to show whether or not a relationship exists, however I get stuck when I input data into stat crunch as a chi square compares the actual data to what we expect should happen (in this case 33/33). Is there a good way to test the two against each other or to show possible relationships?

Thanks!

You may believe that the population proportion of adults in the US who own SUVs is 0.25. Your data is that you surveyed people leaving work at the end of the day and found that 5 out of 18 owned an SUV. Test this at the .05 significance level. In addition to the significance level, what is the the mean and standard deviation?

Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 42 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that σ = 7.00 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.

(a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean blood plasma volume in male firefighters. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(b) What conditions are necessary for your calculations? (Select all that apply.)

the distribution of weights is normalσ is unknownn is largethe distribution of weights is uniformσ is known

(c) Interpret your results in the context of this problem.

99% of the intervals created using this method will contain the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters.1% of the intervals created using this method will contain the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters.     The probability that this interval contains the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters is 0.01.The probability that this interval contains the true average blood plasma volume in male firefighters is 0.99.

(d) Find the sample size necessary for a 99% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 2.10 for the mean plasma volume in male firefighters. (Round up to the nearest whole number.)

Thirty-three small communities in Connecticut (population near 10,000 each) gave an average of x = 138.5 reported cases of larceny per year. Assume that σ is known to be 43.7 cases per year. (a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean annual number of reported larceny cases in such communities. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to one decimal place.) lower limit upper limit margin of error (b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean annual number of reported larceny cases in such communities. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to one decimal place.) lower limit upper limit margin of error (c) Find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean annual number of reported larceny cases in such communities. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to one decimal place.) lower limit upper limit margin of error (d) Compare the margins of error for parts (a) through (c). As the confidence levels increase, do the margins of error increase? As the confidence level increases, the margin of error remains the same. As the confidence level increases, the margin of error decreases. As the confidence level increases, the margin of error increases. (e) Compare the lengths of the confidence intervals for parts (a) through (c). As the confidence levels increase, do the confidence intervals increase in length? As the confidence level increases, the confidence interval decreases in length. As the confidence level increases, the confidence interval remains the same length. As the confidence level increases, the confidence interval increases in length.

High in the Rocky Mountains, a biology research team has drained a lake to get rid of all fish. After the lake was refilled, they stocked it with an endangered species of Greenback trout. Of the 2000 Greenback trout put into the lake 800 were tagged for later study. An electroshock method is used on individual fish to get a study sample. However, this method is hard on the fish. The research team wants to know the smallest number of fish that must be electroshocked to be at least 80% sure of getting a sample of two or more tagged trout. Please provide the answer. For more studies similar to this one, see A National Symposium on Catch and Release Fishing, Humboldt State University.
