Tom Marley and Jennifer Griggs have recently started a marketing research firm in Jacksonville, Florida. They have contacted the Florida Democratic Party with a proposal to do all political polling for the party. Since they have just started their company, the state party chairman is reluctant to sign a contract without some test of their accuracy. He has asked them to do a trial poll in a central Florida county known to have 60% registered Democratic Party voters. The poll itself had many questions. However, for the test of accuracy, only the proportion of registered Democrats was considered. Tom and Jennifer report back that from a random sample of 1000 respondents, 520 were registered Democrats.

1. Determine the probability that such a random sample would result in 520 or fewer Democrats in the sample.

2. Based on your calculations in part a, would you recommend that the Florida Democratic Party (or anyone else for that matter) contract with the Marley/Griggs marketing research firm? Explain your answer.

Hemoglobin (g/100mL) was measured twice in 20 pregnant women. A first measurement was taken at 1-3 weeks prepartum whereas the second measurement was taken at 2-6 days postpartum (the data is provided below).

Part A. What is the absolute value of the t-test statistic for testing whether there is any change in mean hemoglobin levels between prepartum and postpartum women?

Part B. What is the degrees of freedom for this particular test in Part A?

a. 20

b. 38

c. 19

d. 25.6

Part C. What would you conclude from the corresponding t-test?

a. Mean hemoglobin decreases from prepartum to postpartum stages in women (P=0.02)

b. Mean hemoglobin decreases from prepartum to postpartum stages in women (P=0.04)

c. There is no evidence of a mean difference between prepartum and postpartum stages (P>0.05)

Part D. Suppose a hospital will not pursue any intervention measures if they believe that the true change in hemoglobin levels between prepartum and postpartum stages falls within +/- 2g/100mL; in other words, they feel the two stages are effectively equivalent for mean hemoglobin levels if the true mean difference falls within +/- 2g/100mL. Does this dataset provide proof of equivalence using a = 0.05?  

a. Yes based on a confidence interval of [0.18,186]

b. Yes based on a confidence interval of [0.20,1.84]

c. No based on a confidence interval of [0.32,1.72]

d. No based on a confidence interval of [0.03,2.01]

e. Yes based on a confidence interval of [0.32,1.72]

7. A data set includes 108 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.3 F° and a standard deviation of 0.69 F°. Construct a 99​% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. What does the sample suggest about the use of 98.6 F° as the mean body​ temperature?

What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean µ​?

____F°<µ<____ F°

​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

What does this suggest about the use of 98.6 F° as the mean body​ temperature?

A.This suggests that the mean body temperature could be lower than 98.6 F°.

B.This suggests that the mean body temperature could be higher than 98.6 F°

C.This suggests that the mean body temperature could very possibly be 98.6 F°.

8. An IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 14 for the population of normal adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it can be said with 95​% confidence that the sample mean is within 7 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that σ= 14 and determine the required sample size using technology. Then determine if this is a reasonable sample size for a real world calculation.

The required sample size is

nothing. ​(Round up to the nearest​ integer.)

Would it be reasonable to sample this number of​ students?

Yes. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly small number.

Yes. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly large number.

No. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly large number.

No. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly small number

Use the ”test.vs.grade” data and test the null hypothesis that the mean test score for the population is 70 against the alternative that it is greater than 70. Find a p-value and state your conclusion if α = 0.05. Repeat for the null hypothesis µ = 75.

A person’s educational attainment and age group was collected by the U.S. Census Bureau in 1984 to see if age group and educational attainment are related. The counts in thousands are in Table 3 ("Education by age," 2013). Do the data show that educational attainment and age are independent? Why or Why not? Test at the 5% level.

A study was conducted to determine if rats gain weight after experiencing different levels of exercise. Researchers used 25 rats, for four different levels of exercise, plus a control group. Rats were randomly assigned to each group until there were five rats per group.

Some people try to counteract the presence of alcohol with caffeine in regards to reaction time. To test this, reaction times were measured when subjects were exposed to one of the two levels of alcohol (no alcohol, or yes alcohol), and one of the three different levels of caffeine ( 25 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg).  

It is thought that different levels of mercury exposure can decrease activeness in mice. Since some mice might not be as active due to their genetics, the litter from which the mice came from was used in the study as well. Each mouse was exposed to a level of mercury independently and at random.

Mr. Jones’ ninth grade class is studying the influence of temperature on respiration rate in goldfish. Each of his 24 students has a single goldfish isolated in a goldfish bowl half full of de-chlorinated tap water at 15°C. Each student is allowed to add a random amount of either chilled tap water (5°C) or warmed tap water (30°C) very slowly for 5 minutes to gently adjust the temperature of the water in the bowl. The goldfish are allowed an additional 5 minutes of acclimation time after the temperature in the bowl has equilibrated. Then each student records the temperature of the water to the nearest 0.1°C using a digital thermometer and the goldfish respiration rate (the number of times the operculum or gill cover opens) during a 60 second period. The class hypothesis (H₁) is that respiration rate (cycles / min) will increase with increasing temperature (°C).

The independent variable is temperature and is continuous. The dependent variable is respiration rate and is continuous. The observations are paired in the sense that each temperature has only one respiration rate. However, there is a clear expectation from the class hypothesis that the independent variable is causing the change in the dependent variable.

C. 24

D. 1.84 x 10^-17
