Do types of crimes reported on television newscasts differ by the age of the criminals? A researcher uses her dvr to record the local television news for a 2-week period of time. She records the types of crimes and notes the age of the offender. Conduct a chi-square test (alpha = .05) of the null hypothesis that televised offense type does not vary by age group of offender. Offense type Young middle age older violent 27 10 3 property 14 12 11 sex 7 9 5 Report the obtained chi-square, df, and critical chi-square. Report your findings based on the null hypothesis.
You obtain a t comp of .975 in a two sample independent t test with alpha at .05. Is it significant?
A random sample of 22 women participated in a study testing whether a new banana boat sunscreen reduced their incident rate of sunburn during the summer. The average woman in the study reported getting burned 5.7 times over the past 3 months, with a SS = 179. Compare this incident rate to a rate of 7 times per 3 months. Use an alpha of .05, 2 tailed test. a) What is the t-critical value(s)? b) What is the estimated standard error? c) Compute the t-statistic. d) Make a decision regarding the null and provide a conclusion (explain what it means in regards to this particular study).
The NAEP considers that a national average of 283 is an acceptable performance. Using α = .05, run a two-tail t-test for one sample to test Ho: µ=283 for the 2019 scores. Report the t-obt, df, and p-values. Would you reject the null hypothesis that the 2019 scores come from a population with average 283? If this is the case, does it come from a population from larger or smaller average?
Statewide, social workers have an average annual salary of $29,000. A random sample of 159 social workers in Pocatello have an annual salary of $29,501, with a standard deviation of $977. Are the annual salaries of social workers in Pocatello significantly different from the statewide average? Please complete all five steps of the five step model, showing as much of your work as possible. (alpha = .05 and Z(critical)+-1.96).
A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412 Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
Dr. Romanoff reported the following in a journal: “F (5, 106) = 10.09, p = .04.” Should Dr. Romanoff state that there are significant differences among the variable means at a .05 alpha level?
The appearance of leaf pigment glands in the seedling stage of cotton plants is genetically controlled. According to one theory of the control mechanism, the population ratio of glandular to glandless plants resulting from a certain cross should be 11.5, according to another it should be 13:3. In one experiment, the cross produced 89 glandular and 36 glandless plants. Use goodness-of-fit tests (at alpha= 0.10) to determine whether the data is consistent with a) the 11:5 theory, ar b) the 13:3 theory.
An auto manufacturer claims that the variance of the gas mileage in a model of a hybrid vehicle is 0.16. A random sample of 30 vehicles has a variance of 0.26. At alpha = 0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the claim? Assume the population is normally distributed.
Using 1% & 5% alphas, test the overall significance of the model on excel.
A snack food manufacturer estimates that the variance of the number of grams of carbohydrates in servings of its tortilla chips is 1.34. A dietician is asked to test this claim and finds that a random sample of 16 servings has a variance of 1.22. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim? Assume the population is normally distributed. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
The table below summarizes a data set we first encountered in Exercise 6.29 that examines the responses of a random sample of college graduates and nongraduates on the topic of oil drilling. Complete a chi-square test for these data to check whether there is a statistically significant difference in responses from college graduates and non-graduates. χ2:? df:? Conclusion: There is insufficient evidence that there is an association between support for off-shore drilling and having a college degree There is strong evidence that the proportion of those supporting off-shore drilling is greater than those having a college degree There is insufficient evidence that the proportion of those supporting off-shore drilling is greater than those having a college degree There is strong evidence that there is an association between support for off-shore drilling and having a college degree
