A researcher selected a sample of 268 former student athletes from a list of graduates of a large university. A total of 17% of the sample of athletes had earned graduate degrees as compared to 14% of all graduates. Is the difference statistically significant? Follow the five step model and state all important decisions. Make sure that you interpret the results in terms of the original research question. ANSWER: Z (obtained) =

Ernesto is a web developer who is looking to determine which of two types of advertisements are the most cost effective. He suspects that advertisements with animations generate more clicks than advertisements without animations but wants to confirm his intuition before he starts recommending advertisements with animations to his clients. Ernesto creates advertisements with animations for 12 different products and then creates advertisements without animations for those same products. Then he measures the click-through rate for those advertisements. The data are provided below (given as percentages of total visitors to the site who clicked on the advertisement). Assume that the conditions required for this hypothesis test are satisfied. Use a calculator to test the paired data, where α=0.01. Compute the sample differences d using d=Without−With. Which of the following statements are accurate for this hypothesis test in order to evaluate the claim that the true mean difference between…
1. Between the years 2011-2019, which year had the fewest global cases of measles reported? Between the years 2011-2019, which year saw the most global cases of measles reported? Between the years 2011-2019, which year saw the largest increase in global measles cases over the year before? 2. According to the CDC, the fatality rate for measles is 0.2% in the United States. However, in developing countries it is approximately 25%. According to the World Health Organization about 75% of measles cases occurred in developing countries in 2019. How many deaths from measles are likely to have resulted in developing countries? Round your answer to the nearest thousand. According to the CDC, 6% of people who contract measles also develop pneumonia. If there were 1,296 cases of the measles in the United States in 2019, how many people developed pneumonia? Round to the nearest whole person. By approximately what percentage (relative change) did measles decline between 2014-2015? Round…
The ratios of calves to yearlings to adults in a wildebeest herd should be 5:3:2 if the herd is to be stable- neither shrink nor grow in subsequent generations. You go out and take a random sample of individuals from this herd and count 52 calves, 28 yearlings and 15 adults. Do you predict that this herd will remain stable? Do the proportions of these 3 age groups in your match those that would be expected in a stable herd?
At the 5% level of significance, which variables are statistically significant? If the price of cement per yard increases by 10, what will happen to the estimated quantity of cement demanded? What happens if it will increase by 20%?
The relationship between sleep hours and overall happiness level on the next day was estimated as below in a linear format. (Happiness level is measured through a five-point scale: 1 = Extremely unhappy, 5 = Extremely happy) Overall happiness level = 0.27 * Sleep hours + 2.34 (The p-value for the coefficient of Sleep hours is 0.02.) Based on this equation, what is the expected happiness level of a person on a certain day, when he slept 7 hours the day before?
Suppose that we identify 155 women 50 to 54 years of age who have both a mother and a sister with a history of breast cancer. 18 of these women themselves have developed breast cancer at some time in their lives. If we assume that the proportion of breast cancer cases in women whose mothers have had breast cancer is 8%, does having a sister with the disease increase the risk? Find the p-value.

On March 11, 2011, Japan suffered an earthquake and tsunami that caused a disastrous accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Among many other results, amounts of iodine-131 that were 27 times the government limit were found in a sample of spinach 60 miles away.† Now, 27 times the government limit of iodine-131 is 54 thousand becquerels per kilogram.† The following table shows the amount I, in thousands of becquerels per kilogram, of iodine-131 that would remain after t days. t = time, in days I = amount ofiodine-131 0 54.00 1 49.52 2 45.41 3 41.64 4 38.18 (a) Show that the data are exponential. (In this part and the next, round to three decimal places.) Because t increases by 1 each time, to show that the data are exponential, we must show that the successive ratios (rounded to three decimal places) are the same. Because all of the ratios are equal to , the data are exponential. (b) Find an exponential model I that shows the amount of iodine-131…
