The Daily Show. A 2010 Pew Research foundation poll indicates that among 1,099 college graduates, 33% watch The Daily Show. Meanwhile, of the 1,110 people in the poll with a high school degree but no college degree, 22% watch The Daily Show. A 95% confidence interval for pCollegeGrad−pHighSchoolpCollegeGrad−pHighSchool, where pp is the proportion of those who watch The Daily Show, is (0.07, 0.15). Based on this information, determine if the following statements are true or false, and explain your reasoning if you identify the statement as false.

1. At the 5% significance level, the data provide convincing evidence of a difference between the proportions of college graduates and those with a high school degree or less who watch The Daily Show.  ? True False

2. We are 95% confident that 7% less to 15% more college graduates watch The Daily Show than those with a high school degree or less.  ? True False

3. 95% of random samples of 1,099 college graduates and 1,110 people with a high school degree or less will yield differences in sample proportions between 7% and 15%.  ? True False

4. 90% confidence interval for pCollegeGrad−pHighSchoolpCollegeGrad−pHighSchool would be wider.  ? True False

5. A 95% confidence interval for pHighSchool−pCollegeGradpHighSchool−pCollegeGrad is (-0.15,-0.07).  ? True False

This is a written, statistical report, not simply a collection of different types of Excel output. It is not necessary to include the formulas you used or a copy of the dataset. When answering the questions, make sure to include any relevant statistics and/or the results of your calculations. Like any other written report, you will want to start with an introductory paragraph or problem statement and finish with a conclusion that summarizes the information presented.

1. Use descriptive statistics to summarize the data.

2. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean age of unemployed individuals in Philadelphia.

3. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean duration of unemployment in Philadelphia is greater than the national mean duration of 14.6 weeks. Use a .01 level of significance. What is your conclusion?

4. Is there a relationship between the age of an unemployed individual and the number of weeks of unemployment? Explain.

2. Blood pressure is independent of the blood group. We want to know, if the distributions attending to the blood group, in three referred samples attending to the type of blood pressure, they are distributed in the same way. To this end, a sample of 1500 subjects was collected and their blood group was determined and blood pressure was taken, classifying it as low, normal, and high. Obtaining the following results:

In what ways do advertisers in magazines use sexual imagery to appeal to youth? One study classified each of 1509 full-page or larger ads as "not sexual" or "sexual," according to the amount and style of the dress of the male or female model in the ad. The ads were also classified according to the target readership of the magazine. Here is the two-way table of counts.

Magazine readership
Model dress Women Men General interest Total
Not sexual 344 510 245 1099
Sexual 219 89 102 410

6. The table below gives the list price and the number of bids received for five randomly selected items sold through online auctions. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1x, for predicting the number of bids an item will receive based on the list price. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.
