7.150 Air bags pose danger for children. By law, all new cars must be equipped with both driver- side and passenger- side safety air bags. There is concern, however, over whether air bags pose a danger for children sitting on the passenger side. In a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study of 55 people killed by the explosive force of air bags, 35 were children seated on the front-passenger side. This study led some car owners with the information about children to disconnect the passenger-side air bag. a. Use the study to estimate the risk of an air bag fatality on a child seated on the front passenger seat. ,5. NHTSA investigators determined that 24 of the 35 children killed by the air bags were not 363 wearing seat belts or were improperly restrained. How does this information affect your assessment of the risk of an air bag fatality?

- 31% of all pygmy softshell toises have stripes on their shells. A herpetologist in Cititon collects a sample of 28 pygmy softshell tortoises and finds that 8 of them have stripes on their shells. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at a significance of alpha=0.05, that the proportion of pygmy softshell tortoises in Cititon with stripes on their shells is less than 31%? What is the claim? What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? What is the test statistic? What is/are the critical value(s)? Do we reject the null hypothesis? What conclusion do we draw? What is the P-value for the problem above?A school district is considering moving the start of the school day at Groveland High from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. to allow students to get more sleep at night. They want to estimate how many more hours of sleep teens get if their school starts at 9:00 a.m. compared to teens whose schools start at 8:00 a.m. The district takes random samples of 50 of students from Groveland High and 39 students from Phillips High School, which starts at 9:00 a.m., and surveys them about their sleep habits. The sample mean number of hours of sleep per student at Groveland is 7.1 hours, and the standard deviation is 1.7 hours. At Phillips, the sample mean is 8.3 hours of sleep, with a standard deviation of 1.9 hours. Is it appropriate to use a two-sample t-interval for the difference in means to estimate the difference in hours of sleep for students at the two high schools? A. Yes, all the conditions for inference are met. B. No, the two samples are not independent samples. C. No, the sample sizes…A report stated that based on observing a large number of vehicle occupants, the estimated percentage of drivers and passengers in a certain country who wear seatbelts is 83.2%. The report also gave information on seat belt use by sex and by whether the vehicle is traveling in an urban or rural area. The information in the following table is consistent with summary values given in the report. Urban Areas Rural Areas Male Female Male Female Seat belt 851 908 750 817 No Seat belt 149 92 250 183 Assume that these data are representative of drivers and passengers in the country. Consider the following conclusion. Females are more likely to wear seat belts than males in both urban and rural areas. The difference in the percentage of females and the percentage of males who wear seat belts is greater for rural areas than for urban areas. Provide a justification for this conclusion. Use the information in the table to calculate relevant probabilities. The differences in the proportions for…
- In an SPSS analysis between Race and Prestige, which one would be the IV and which one would be the DV?Answer the following questions A- B- what is the sensitivity of the screening test? C- what is the specificity of te screening test? D- How likely is it that person with epilepsy has depression if they screened positive for it? E- How likely is it that person with epilepsy does not have depression if they screened negative for it? F- what is the prevalence of clinician diagnosed depression among those with epilepsy in this study? G- what would happen to the positive predictive value of the prevalence of depression was significantly higher than what you calculated in part F?To examine adolescent substance abuse, Li, Pentz, and Chou (2002) surveyed 1,807 middle school students from 57 schools. The results showed that a greater risk of adolescent substance abuse was associated with increasing numbers of parents and friends who were sub- stance abusers. However, friends’ use did not affect adolescent substance abuse when parents were nonusers. Is this an example of a survey research design?
- A professor found out from a senior professor that engineering students in Harp University tend to do good in their Engineering Management subject, claiming that historically, the mean grade of engineering students in the said course is 1.50. Curious if this claim was true, the professor took a random sample of 9 students who took the engineering management subject. Before collecting data, he was undecided about his own claim because he knew of some students who did really good in the course but has also encountered others who did poorly. He found that their mean grade for the course is 1.35 with a standard deviation of 0.50. Use the Test of Significance Approach in testing the professor’s claim. a. Estimate population mean at 90% confidence interval. b. Between z and t, which is more appropriate to use given the data? Why? c. What are the chances that your estimate of population mean was wrong? Describe and explain a potential source of error to your estimate. d. Holding % of CI…A fall survey of 2 and 4 year college students showed that of 167,000 students who responded, 65,130 had experienced food insecurityA study was conducted to explore workplace bullying in a community NHS trust. Staff were asked about whether workplace bullying had affected their working environment (Quine L, BMJ 1999; 318: 228-229). Those who had been bullied had lower levels of job satisfaction (mean 10.5 [SD 2.7] vs 12.2 [2.3], P<0.001) and higher levels of job-induced stress (mean 22.5 [SD 6.1] v 16.9 [5.8], P<0.001) than those who had not been bullied. Based on the above info, Select which of the following statement(s) you believe to be true You CAN SELECT MORE THAN 1. a. The P value for the comparison of job-induced stress was less than 0.001. This means that we cannot reject the null hypothesis at the 5% level of significance. b. P < 0.001 means that there is a less than 1 in 1000 chance that we would have obtained these results, or more extreme results, if the alternative hypothesis was true. c. There is a significant difference in the levels of job satisfaction between…

Below are her findings.• Life satisfaction and experience of daily stress: r = .57 (p = .01)• Number of friends one has and experience of daily stress: r = .09, not sig.• Number of friends one has and life satisfaction: r = .36 (p = .04) Which of the following conclusions can Dr. Guidry draw about the number of friends one has and life satisfaction based on her statistical analyses? a. The probability of her sample coming from a zero association population is about 4%. (correct answer) b. The probability of her sample coming from a zero association population is about 96%. c. The relationship is not statistically significant. d.
