In the survey sponsored by the Lindt chocolate company, 1708 women were surveyed and 85% of them said that chocolate made them happier.
a) Is there anything potentially wrong with this survey?
b) Of the 1708 women surveyed, what is the number of them who said that chocolate made them happier?
c)Use Excel to construct a 98% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of women who say that chocolate makes them happier. Insert a screenshot, write down the confidence interval and write a brief statement interpreting the result.

(d) Use Excel to test the claim that when asked, more than 80% of women say that chocolate makes them happier. Use a 0.02 significance level. (i.e. complete steps (a) to (e) similar to question 3)
(e) Does your result from (d) contradict your result from (c)? Explain.

Let x represent the number of mountain climbers killed each year. The long-term variance of x is approximately σ² = 136.2. Suppose that for the past 11 years, the variance has been s² = 109.2. Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the recent variance for number of mountain-climber deaths is less than 136.2. Find a 90% confidence interval for the population variance. (a) What is the level of significance?


State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H_o: σ² = 136.2; H₁: σ² < 136.2 H_o: σ² < 136.2; H₁: σ² = 136.2     H_o: σ² = 136.2; H₁: σ² > 136.2 H_o: σ² = 136.2; H₁: σ² ≠ 136.2

(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


What are the degrees of freedom?


What assumptions are you making about the original distribution?

We assume a uniform population distribution. We assume a binomial population distribution.     We assume a exponential population distribution. We assume a normal population distribution.

(c) Find or estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic.

P-value > 0.100 0.050 < P-value < 0.100     0.025 < P-value < 0.050 0.010 < P-value < 0.025 0.005 < P-value < 0.010 P-value < 0.005

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?

Since the P-value > α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-value > α, we reject the null hypothesis.     Since the P-value ≤ α, we reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-value ≤ α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

At the 1% level of significance, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the variance for number of mountain climber deaths is less than 136.2 At the 1% level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the variance for number of mountain climber deaths is less than 136.2    

(f) Find the requested confidence interval for the population variance. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Interpret the results in the context of the application.

We are 90% confident that σ² lies outside this interval. We are 90% confident that σ² lies above this interval.     We are 90% confident that σ² lies below this interval. We are 90% confident that σ² lies within this interval.

A simple random sample of 50 accounts is taken from an account receivables portfolio of XYZ Ltd and the average account balance is $650. The population standard deviation o is known to be $70. Test the hypothesis that the population mean account balance is greater than a. $620 using the p-value approach and a 0.05 level of significance. b. Test the hypothesis that the population mean account balance is less than $800 using the critical value approach and a 0.05 level of significance. Test the hypothesis that the population mean account balance is different from $750. using the p-value approach and a 0.05 level of significance. C.

In the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal distribution to estimate the requested probabilities. It is known that 76% of all new products introduced in grocery stores fail (are taken off the market) within 2 years. If a grocery store chain introduces 66 new products, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) within 2 years 47 or more fail (b) within 2 years 58 or fewer fail (c) within 2 years 15 or more succeed (d) within 2 years fewer than 10 succeed

Take a simple experiment of rolling a pair of balanced dice. Each die has six sides, each side contains one to six spots. Let us define the random variable x to be the sum of the spots on the two dice. Display the probability mass function and the distribution function for the random variable x.

Exercise 14-4 Algo Consider the following competing hypotheses: H0: ρxy ≥ 0 HA: ρxy < 0 The sample consists of 34 observations and the sample correlation coefficient is –0.58. Use Table 2. a.

An experiment to compare the spreading rates of five different brands of yellow interior latex paint available in a particular area used 4 gallons (J = 4) of each paint. The sample average spreading rates (ft²/gal) for the five brands were x_1. = 462.0, x_2. = 512.8, x_3. = 437.5, x_4. = 469.3, and x_5. = 532.1. The computed value of F was found to be significant at level α = 0.05. With MSE = 480.8, use Tukey's procedure to investigate significant differences between brands.

A Gallup Poll released in December 2010 asked 1019 adults living in the Continental U.S. about their belief in the origin of humans. These results, along with results from a more comprehensive poll from 2001 (that we will assume to be exactly accurate), are summarized in the table below:

Calculate the actual number of respondents in 2010 that fall in each response category as well as the expected number, assuming that the population follows the 2001 distribution. (please round to the nearest whole number)

The mayor of a large city claims that 25 % of the families in the city earn more than $ 100,000 per year; 55 % earn between $ 30,000 and $ 100,000 (inclusive); 20 % earn less than $ 30,000 per year.

In order to test the mayor’s claim, 285 families from the city are surveyed and it is found that:

90 of the families earn more than $ 100,000 per year;
135 of the families earn between $ 30,000 and $ 100,000 per year (inclusive);
60 of the families earn less $ 30,000.

Test the mayor’s claim based on 2.5 % significance level.
