2) . In February 2021, the Chicago Tribune reported:“The overdose epidemic that has ravaged Chicago has not spared the nearby suburbs, some of which have death rates comparable to anything seen in the city, according to a report released this week by the Cook County Department of Public Health. ZIP codes in the towns of Worth, Broadview, Maywood, and Forest Park, areas that “have substantially lower median household incomes and higher poverty rates,” have been especially hard-hit, the report said.”In the article, they claimed that lower incomes were associated with higher overdose death rates and that overdose death rates are increasing over time. The data you have been analyzing wasn’t focused on Chicago, obviously. But do your results support the general gist of the statistical argument being made in this Tribune excerpt? Please address:• Do overdose death rates appear to be associated with per capita income (use scatterplot)?• Do overdose death rates appear to be increasing over…
Consider two groups of students: B1, students who received high scores on tests, and B2, students who received low scores on tests. In group B1, 40% study more than 25 hours per week, and in group B2, 20% study more than 25 hours per week. What is the overinvolvement ratio for high study levels in high test scores over low test scores?

43. The U.S. government wants to determine whetherimmigrants should be tested for a contagious disease,and it is planning to base this decision on financialconsiderations. Assume that each immigrant who isallowed to enter the United States and has the diseasecosts the country $100,000. Also, assume that eachimmigrant who is allowed to enter the United Statesand does not have the disease will contribute $10,000to the national economy. Finally, assume that x percentof all potential immigrants have the disease. The U.S.government can choose to admit all immigrants, admitno immigrants, or test immigrants for the diseasebefore determining whether they should be admitted. Itcosts T dollars to test a person for the disease, and thetest result is either positive or negative. A person who does not have the disease always tests negative. However, 10% of all people who do have the disease testnegative. The government’s goal is to maximize theexpected net financial benefits per potential…
Here are the countries with the five highest estimated costs of software piracy: United States ($9.1 billion), China ($8.7 billion), India ($2.7 billion), France ($2.1 billion), United Kingdom ($1.9 billion). Among these five countries, the United States has 37.1% of the cost of piracy. Is it correct to conclude that the United States has 37.1% of the total cost of piracy for all countries? What do these results tell us about the costs of piracy in the other countries not included here?

Workers at a particular mining site receive an average of 35 days paid vacation, which is lower than the national average. The manager of this plant is under pressure from a local union to increase the amount of paid time off. However, he does not want to give more days off to the workers because that would be costly. Instead he decides he should fire 10 employees in such a way as to raise the average number of days off that are reported by his employees. In order to achieve this goal, should he fire employees who have the most number of days off, least number of days off, or those who have about the average number of days off? a. He should fire employees who have the most number of days off. b. No matter who he fires, it will not increase the amount of paid time off. c. He should fire employees who have the average number of days off. d. He should fire employees who have the least number of days off.

Globally, 35% of all ridged brittleshell tortoises have spots on their shells. A herpetologist in Citition collects a sample of 38 ridged brittlesell tortoises and finds that 16 of them have spots on their shells. The herpetologist would like to test the claim that the proportion of ridged brittleshell tortoises in Cititon with spots on their shells is greater than 35%. The herpetologist ends up rejecting the null hypothesis. If the actual proportion of ridged brittleshell tortoises in Cititon with spots on their shells is 41%, then what type of error, if any, has occurred? In the problem above, what is the test statistic?

B) What would be an actuarially fair premium for unhealthy person? C) If everyone has to buy health insurance and 20% of the population are unhealthy and 80% of the population are health, what would be an actuarially fair premium for any person?
A survey of needy and disabled youths showed that 45% of those who had no preschool education were arrested or charged with a crime by the time they were 19, whereas only 34% who had preschool education wound up in this category. The survey did not specify what percentage of the youths in the survey had preschool education, so let us take a guess at that and estimate that 11% of them had attended preschool. (Round all answers to the nearest 1%.) (a) What percentage of the youths arrested or charged with a crime had no preschool education?________ %(b) What would this figure be if 89% of the youths had attended preschool?________ %
