A researcher interviewed 2067 people and asked whether they were the primary decision makers in the household when buying a new car last year. Two hundred seven were men and had bought a new car last year. Sixty-five were women and had bought a new car last year. Eight hundred eleven of the responses were from men who did not buy a car last year. Nine hundred eighty-four were from women who did not buy a car last year. Use these data to determine whether gender is independent of being a major decision maker in purchasing a car last year. Let a = .05. Appendix A Statistical Tables Find the observed value of chi-square. (Round the answer to 2 decimal places.)

Has the researcher tested for representativeness: comparing the sex distribution ofthe population and of respondents, for example, or their ages, ethnicity, education, orincome?
Textbook authors must be careful that the reading level of their book is appropriate for the target audience. Some methods of assessing reading level require estimating the average word length. We've randomly chosen 20 words from a randomly selected page in Intro Stats and counted the number of letters in each word: 5, 5, 2, 11, 3, 5, 6, 8, 5, 4, 7, 2, 9, 4, 8, 10, 4, 7, 6, 9 Suppose that our editor was hoping that the book would have a mean word length of 6.8 letters. Does this sample indicate that the authors failed to meet this goal? With a significance level of 0.05, test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. (i.e state the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the test statistic, conclude and interpret it).
A government study found that people who eat chocolate frequently weighless than people who don’t. Researchers questioned 1000 individuals fromCalifornia between the ages of 20 and 85 about their eating habits, andmeasured their weight and height. On average, participants ate chocolatetwice a week and had a body mass index (BMI) of 28. There was anobserved difference of five to seven pounds in weight between those whoate chocolate five times a week and those who did not eat any chocolate atall, with the chocolate eaters weighing less on average. Frequent chocolateeaters also consumed more calories, on average, than people who consumedless chocolate. Based on this summary, would you recommend thatAmerican’s who do not presently eat chocolate, consider eating chocolateup to five times a week if they want to lose weight? Why or why not?Explain.
18. Car and Taxi Ages When the author visited Dublin, Ireland (home of Guinness Breweryemployee William Gosset, who first developed the t distribution), he recorded the ages of randomlyselected passenger cars and randomly selected taxis. The ages can be found from thelicense plates. (There is no end to the fun of traveling with the author.) The ages (in years) arelisted below. We might expect that taxis would be newer, so test the claim that the mean age ofcars is greater than the mean age of taxis.
In 2008, real GDP was 14,830.4. In 2009, real GDP was 14,418.7. Accordingly, we can infer that in 2009, Group of answer choices a) there must have been no change in real GDP. b) there must have been a decrease in unemployment. c) we had deflation. d) there was a recession. e) there must have been economic growth.

In a study aimed at creating reference values, abdominal circumference (measured in cm) was measured in adult men. It was found that the relationship to age could be described as abdominal circumference = 82 + 0.3 x age a) What is the analysis that produces such a formula called? b) At what age is the average abdominal circumference 100 cm?
Medical tests were conducted to learn about drug-resistant tuberculosis. Of 142 cases tested in New Jersey, 9 were found to be drug-resistant. Of 268 cases tested in Texas, 5 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states? Use a .02 level of significance. What is the -value, and what is your conclusion? Test statistic =

10.61 The per-store daily customer count (i.e., the mean number of customers in a store in one day) for a nationwide convenience store chain that operates nearly 10,000 stores has been steady, at 900, for some time. To increase the customer count, the chain is considering cutting prices for coffee beverages. The question to be determined is how much to cut prices to increase the daily customer count without reducing the gross margin on coffee sales too much. You decide to carry out an experiment in a sample of 24 stores where customer counts have been running almost exactly at the national average of 900. In 6 of the stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.59, in 6 stores the price of a small coffee will now be $0.69, in 6 stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.79, and in 6 stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.89. After four weeks of selling the coffee at the new price, the daily customer count in the stores was recorded and stored in . At the 0.05…
