In our Brockport sample of college students, the greatest number of weekend drinks observed was 6.00 drinks (in the population of all college students, µ = 3.00 and σ = 0.75). In our Brockport sample we also saw that the greatest number of binge drinking episodes in the past month was 2.00 times (in the population of all college students, µ = 1.00 time σ = 0.20). Which of these two scores indicates the higher level of drinking relative to the college population? A) 6 weekend drinks B) 2 binge drinking episodes C) They indicate equally high levels of drinking relative to the college population D) There is not enough information provided to determine the answer
A recent study investigated whether renowned violinists were able to classify the age of a violin. In the study, violins constructed before 1900 and violins constructed after 2010 were used. The violinists played each violin and were asked to classify the violin as old (constructed before 1900) or new (constructed after 2010). The responses are shown in the following table. Which of the following statements is supported by the results in the table? A. The proportion of all new violins that are correctly classified is equal to the proportion of all old violins that are correctly classified. B. The proportion of all new violins that are incorrectly classified is equal to the proportion of all old violins that are correctly classified. c. The proportion of all incorrectly classified violins that are old is equal to the proportion of all correctly classified violins that are new. D. The proportion of all incorrectly classified violins that are new is equal to the proportion of…

Two types of medical devices used for knee replacement are being studied to see if the type of knee replacement used affects the rate of infection for a specific bacterial infection. The infection rate for a specific bacterial infection after surgery for device A is 0.0043. The rate for the same bacterial infection is 0.0121 for device B. How does the risk of developing the bacterial infection in individuals using device B compare to the risk of developing the bacterial infection in individuals using device A? Individuals using device A are 2.814 times more likely to develop the bacterial infection of interest than individuals using device B. Individuals using device B are 2.814 times more likely to develop the bacterial infection of interest than individuals using device A. Individuals using device A are 1.35 times more likely to develop the bacterial infection of interest than individuals using device B. Individual using device B are 1.35 times…

Sarah chose to live on the honors floor of her dorm because she was told that the students on that floor would be quiet and studious. She was told that students on the honors floor study 10.5 hours per week. After living on the honors floor for a few months, Sarah is convinced that the students around her study less than 10.5 hours a week. To test her claim, Sarah polls 10 students on her floor regarding the number of hours per week that they spend studying. Use the results in the table below to test Sarah’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. hours of study: 12,4,14,9,8,6,10,12,11,9
