Use the figure to the right, which shows the percentages of adults from several countries who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country. The survey included random samples of 1115adults from Country A, 1021 adults from Country B,1038 adults from Country C, and 1067 adults from Country D. At α=0.04, can you reject the claim that the proportion of adults in Country C who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country is greater than the proportion of adults from Country D who favor building new nuclear power plants in their country? Assume the random samples are independent. Country A: 54%. Country B: 51%. Country C: 48%. Country D:37%. Part A: Choose the correct answer. A. H0:p1>p2 Ha:p1≤p2 B. H0:p1≤p2 Ha:p1>p2 C.

The department of motor vehicles wants to check whether drivers have a slower reaction time after drinking two cans of beer. This was done by selecting a sample of 19 drivers and randomly assigning them to one of the two groups. The reaction times (measured in seconds) in an obstacle course are measured for a group of 10 drivers who had no beer. The other group of 9 drivers were given two cans of beer each and their reaction times on the same obstacle course are measured. Use “N” for no beer and “B” for two cans of beer. It was found that x̅N = 134 seconds and x̅B = 189 seconds. a) Suppose a 95% confidence interval was calculated to be (-12.05, -9.95). What is the correct interpretation of this confidence interval? Group of answer choices We are 95% confident that the true mean difference between the reaction time of those who had no beers and the reaction time of those who had two cans of beer lies between -12.05 and -9.95 seconds. We are 95% confident that the true difference…

Nationally, the proportion of red cars on the road is 0.12. A statistically-minded fan of the Philadelphia Phillies (whose team color is red) wonders if fans who park at Citizens Bank Park (the Phillies home field) are more likely to drive red cars. One day during a home game, he takes an SRS of 210 cars parked in the lot while a game is being played, and counts 35 red cars. (There are 21,000 parking spaces.) Is this convincing evidence that Phillies fans prefer red cars more than the general population? Provide statistical evidence to support your conclusion. Use the 4-step process.
A researcher used one-factor ANOVA for independent samples to examine effectiveness of four workout videos. Students who enrolled to the study were randomly divided into four groups with n = 10 participants in each group. Each group exercise to a different workout video and afterwards, all participants completed a survey evaluating the effectiveness of their workout. The partial results of the ANOVA conducted on the collected data are shown in the summary table below: Source SS df MS F Between Treatments ____ ____ ____ ____ Within Treatments 117 ____ ____ Total 159 Part A. Fill in the missing values in the ANOVA Summary table above (see highlighted). Hint. Start from finding the df values for…
