What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?
An experiment in teaching research methods in psychology was recently conducted at a large university. One section was taught by the traditional lecture-lab method, a second was taught by an all-lab/demonstration approach with no lectures, and a third was taught entirely by a series of videotaped lectures and demonstrations that the students were free to view at any time and as often as they wished. Students were randomly assigned to each of the three sections, and, at the end of the semester, random samples of final exam scores were collected from each section. Test whether teaching method affected student performance on the final exam. Use the .05 significance level. What is the null hypothesis? Lecture/Lab All-Lab/Demo Videotaped M1=70.67 M2=72.33 M3=65.33 S1=2.95 S2=3.29 S3=1.20 N1=5 N2=5 N3=5 Group of answer choices The mean final exam score for Videotaped is lower than the mean final exam scores for Lecture/Lab and All-Lab/Demo The mean final exam score for…

The marketing manager of a large super-market chain has the business objective of using shelf space most efficiently. Toward that goal, they would like to use shelf space to predict the sales of a specialty pet food. Data are collected from a random sample of 12 equal-sized store, with the following results: Shelf Space Sales Aisle Location 5 160 0 5 220 1 5 140 0 10 190 0 10 240 0 10 260 1 15 230 0 15 270 0 15 280 1 20 260 0 20 290 0 20 310 1 For these data, Syx = 30.8058436 and hi = 0.1373333 when X = 8. *Round final answers below to three decimal places. Do not round calculations until the final answer. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean weekly sales for all stores that have 8 square feet of shelf space for pet food. (b) Construct a 95% prediction interval of the weekly sales of an individual store that has 8 square feet of shelf…
A bank would like to study the waiting time of serving customers during the noon-to- 1 p.m. lunch period of their branches located at two places; in a commercial district of a city and in a residential area. Data are collected from a random sample of 20 customers, and the waiting time (in minutes) are recorded from both branches as follows: Commercial District Residential Area 4.21 5.55 3.02 5.13 4.77 9.66 5.90 8.02 5.79 8.73 2.34 3.54 3.20 4.50 6.10 3.82 8.01 8.35 6.68 5.64 At 1 percent significance level, can we conclude that the customers at branch which located in the residential area need to wait longer compared to the customers who entered bank branch in the commercial district?
Which of these statements is NOT true regarding a randomized block design experiment? a.) The elements are randomly allocated to treatment and control groups. b.) The sample is divided into participants or subjects and then grouped by a variable of interest. c.) This design has the advantage of controlling for variables that might confound the response. d.) Elements are randomly selected from equal-sized blocks of the total population.
A report describes a survey of 500 licensed drivers. Each driver in the sample was asked if they would prefer to keep complete control of the car while driving, to use a partially self-driving car that allowed partial driver control, or to turn full control over to a driverless car. Suppose that it is reasonable to regard this sample as a random sample of licensed drivers in the United States, and that you want to use the data from this survey to decide if there is evidence that fewer than half of all licensed drivers in the United States prefer to keep complete control of the car while driving. (d) The actual sample proportion observed in the study was p̂ = 0.44. Based on this sample proportion, is there convincing evidence that fewer than 50% of licensed drivers prefer to keep complete control of the car when driving, or is the sample proportion consistent with what you would expect to see when the null hypothesis is true? Support your answer with a probability calculation. (Round…

In order to compare the means of two populations, independent random samples of 225 observations are selected from each population with the following results. Sample 1 Sample 2 1 = 478 2 = 481 s1 = 14.2 s2 = 11.2 a) Write the null and alternative hypothesis to test if there is difference between groups b) Calculate z- test statistic c) Write the decision (reject or no null hypothesis).
Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, keeps track of the proportion of its customers who decide to eat in the restaurant (as opposed to ordering the food "to go") so it can make decisions regarding the possible construction of in-store play areas, the attendance of its mascot Sammy at the franchise locations, and so on. Anita's reports that 45% of its customers order their food to go. Suppose that this proportion is correct and that a random sample of 50 individual customers is taken. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Estimate the number of customers in the sample who order their food to go by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. (b) Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places.
