Question
A market researcher claims that the purchases for a particular gift item are men, 50 percent; women, 40 percent; and children under 18, 10 percent. The researcher takes a sample in a very large department store and finds in a given week that 43 items were purchased by men, 33 by women, and 4 by children under 18. Does the evidence support the claim of the market researcher? Use alpha = 0.05

- The city of Oakville has 60000 households. A social researcher from the University of Toronto collected a simple random sample of 100 households. Let the auxiliary variable x be the number of persons living in the household and y be the weekly spending for food. The researcher obtained the following sample statistics: 100 100 2 X; = 320 yi = 10000 E09 x? = 1250 100 E09 y? = 1100000 E00 x;y; = 36000 Ty = 150000 Sx = 1.5 Sy = 31.8 (a) Using the ratio estimation, estimate the mean weekly spending for food and place a bound on the error of estimation. You need to report the numerical values. Show all the steps. Circle the final answer.

The surrounding community, accessibility given to outside visitors, and many other factors influence crime rate. Let x be a variable that represents student enrollment (in thousands) on a university campus, and let y be a variable that represents the number of burglaries in a year on the university campus. A random sample of n = 8 universities in California gave the following information about enrollments and annual burglary incidents.x 12.3 28.6 24.5 14.3 7.5 27.7 16.2 20.1y 23 72 39 23 15 30 15 25 a) Compute r.

- According to the NIMH website the average number of adult Americans diagnosed with a “serious mental illness” across all 50 states in 2019 was μ = 5.2 out of 100 residents (or 5.2%). Please test to see if the sample of states listed below (n=8) has a significantly higher level of mental illness than the population mean of 5.2. Sample data: Arkansas= 5.45%, Montana=5.34%, Vermont=5.32%, Oregon=5.19%, Utah=5.2%, Ohio=5.13, Kentucky=5.25% West Virginia=5.18%. Hint - drop the % signs and use 5.45, 5.32, etc as the X scores. If you want you can use JASP for help with the calculations. Use 3 decimal places for the M, s, SEM. The alpha level for the study was set to α=.05. a. State the hypotheses of the study. b. Find the critical t value for this studyc. Compute the one-sample t test. d. Compute the Cohen's d for the data (even if not significant) e. State the results - is the sample significantly higher?
