2. Consider a study where students are measured on whether they had an internship during theirtime at WKU (Y/N) and whether they had a job at graduation (Y/N). If we wanted to testwhether having an internship was associated with having a job at graduation (i.e., internshipholders were more likely to have jobs), why would the chi-square test be inappropriate for thishypothesis? How should we analyze our data?

Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalation of automobile exhaust fumes while working traffic enforcement in a primarily urban environment. The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0? Explain why or why not.

The article “Withdrawal Strength of Threaded Nails” (D. Rammer, S. Winistorfer, and D. Bender, Journal of Structural Engineering 2001:442–449) describes an experiment comparing the ultimate withdrawal strengths (in N/mm) for several types of nails. For an annularly threaded nail with shank diameter 3.76 mm driven into spruce-pine-fir lumber, the ultimate withdrawal strength was modeled as lognormal with μ = 3.82 and σ = 0.219. For a helically threaded nail under the same conditions, the strength was modeled as lognormal with μ = 3.47 and σ = 0.272. a) What is the mean withdrawal strength for annularly threaded nails? b) What is the mean withdrawal strength for helically threaded nails? c) For which type of nail is it more probable that the withdrawal strength will be greater than 50 N/mm? d) What is the probability that a helically threaded nail will have a greater withdrawal strength than the median for annularly threaded nails? e) An experiment is performed in which withdrawal…
1)A new starch polymer foam with high shock absorbent properties is expected to perform better thanthe old foam which can withstand a maximum impact of 1.56 Joule (J). A simple destructive testto quantify shock absorption ability of the new foam is conducted. Table 5 shows the impact energyabsorbed (in J) that the new foam can withstand for each test. Table 51.61 1.5 1.65 1.7 1.4 1.59 1.65 1.5 Does the recorded data suggests that the new foam performs better than the old foam?

To see the effect of a relatively small error in the estimate of the amount of carbon-14 in a sample being dated, consider this hypothetical situation: a. A bone fragment found in central Illinois in the year 2000 contains 17% of its original carbon-14 content. Estimate the year the animal died. b. Repeat part (a), assuming 18% instead of 17%. c. Repeat part (a), assuming 16% instead of 17.
Dyslexia refers to a specific reading disability that affects 10% to 15% of the general population. A dyslexic child is defined as a child of normal or above-normal intelligence with no known organic behavioural disorders who, despite normal schooling, shows a reading lag of at least two years. A researcher proposed that dyslexia was the result of a complex visual deficit that could be immediately corrected by simply putting a blue plastic overlay on the reading material. To test this, 100 dyslexic children were randomly assigned to one of two groups, one of which read from pages with a clear plastic overlay and the other of which read from pages with a blue plastic overlay. The dependent variable was percentage correct on a multiple-choice reading comprehension test. a) Is this an observational study or an experiment? Explain your choice. b) Why did the researcher use a clear overlay as one of the treatment groups instead of just having the children read the passage without an…

Mr. X is a resident of Wakanda Ward who is concerned with the recent low turnout in local elections in this area. In an effort to understand the occurrence, Mr. Mbewe conducted research investigating the factors that drive an individual’s decision to participate in voting at Local Government level.

The following are the output results from Stata: RSS = 28238.59 TSS= 35570.90 Adjusted R-squared = 0.2016 Constant = -0.762 Independent Variable Coefficient Standard Error P-value Income (in Kwacha) 0.310 - 0.003 Age (years) 0.358…
A researcher hypothesizes that in a certain country the net annual growth of private sector purchases of government bonds, B, is positively related to the nominal rate of interest on the bonds, NI, and negatively related to the rate of inflation Π: Bt = a0 + a1NIt + a2Π t + ut Note that it may be hypothesized that B depends on the real rate of interest on bonds, R, where R = NI – Π. Using a sample of 56 annual observations, s/he estimates the following equations: (1) Bt = 0.43 + 0.90NIt - 0.97Πt R21 = 0.962, SSR1 = 2.20, QRESET(F1,52) = 16.6 (3.58) (8.80) (-1.05) (2) Bt = 0.44 + 0.94Rt R22 = 0.960, SSR2 = 2.22, QRESET(F1,53) = 0.9 (9.70) (16.7) (3) Bt = 0.44 + 1.14NIt SSR3 = 9.20, QRESET(F1,53) = 59.9 (8.84) (36.1) (4) NIt = 0.08 + 0.94Πt R24 = 0.997, SSR4 = 0.18, QRESET(F1,53) = 1.4…
For some genetic mutations, it is thought that the frequency of the mutant gene in men increases linearly with age. If m1 is the frequency at age t1, and m2 is the frequency at age t2, then the yearly rate of increase is estimated by r = (m2 − m1)/(t2 − t1). In a polymerase chain reaction assay, the frequency in 20-year-old men was estimated to be 17.7 ± 1.7 per μgDNA, and the frequency in 40-year-old men was estimated to be 35.9 ± 5.8 per μg DNA. Assume that age is measured with negligible uncertainty.a) Estimate the yearly rate of increase, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.b) Find the relative uncertainty in the estimated rate of increase.
