In "Immigrant America," the authors discuss the "New Second Generation." Which of the following statements is FALSE? Q Like their parents, the children of the "new" immigrants, are largely poor and non-English speaking. Unlike their parents, the new second generation is more likely to fully Americanize by the time they reach adulthood. Regarding their adaptation and incorporation into dominant society, the results of that final survey of the new second generation (the CILS data) show that their adjustment is related largely to their human capital (primarily level of education). Assimilation or incorporation among the new second generation can best be described as "segmented assimilation."

We are interested in analysing the effect of the lockout laws introduced in some areas of the Sydney CBD and nearby surrounds on the number of alcohol-related violent incidents. Suppose we have two samples of data on the number of violent incidents in a number of local areas of the Sydney CBD and nearby surrounds. Pubs, hotels and clubs located in a subset of these areas became subject to the lockout laws when they were introduced in 2014. The first sample is from 2010 before the introduction of the lockout laws, and the second is from 2015 after the introduction of the law. The hypothesis we wish to test is that the introduction of the lockout laws reduces violent incidents in the areas in which the lockout laws were put in place. We use a difference-in-difference model on the pooled data from 2010 and 2015. We find the following results: viol_inc hat = 33.21 (5.29) + 12.43lockout (7.01) – 4.19Yr2015 (2.98) – 3.32 (lockout x Yr2015) (1.85) N = 181, R^2 = 0.128 Where: viol_incis the…
The U.S. Census Bureau conducts annual surveys to obtain information on the percentage of the voting-age population that is registered to vote. Suppose that 450 employed persons and 477 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected, and that 291 of the employed persons and 242 of the unemployed persons have registered to vote. Can we conclude that the percentage of employed workers ( p1 ), who have registered to vote, exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers ( p2 ), who have registered to vote? Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Step 2 of 6 : Find the values of the two sample proportions, pˆ1 and pˆ2 . Round your answers to three decimal places.

States (and provinces) that have control over taxation sometimes reduce taxes in an attempt to spur economic growth. Suppose that you are hired by a state to estimate the effect of corporate tax rates on, say, the growth in per capita gross state product (GSP).(i) What kind of data would you need to collect to undertake a statistical analysis?(ii) Is it feasible to do a controlled experiment? What would be required?(iii) Is a correlation analysis between GSP growth and tax rates likely to be convincing? Explain.
Do waiters or waitresses earn larger tips To answer this Do waiters or waitresses earn larger tips? To answer this question, a restaurant consultant undertook a preliminary study. The study involved measuring the percentage of the total bill left as a tip for one randomly selected waiter and one randomly selected waitress in each of 50 restaurants during a 1-week period. What conclusions can be drawn from these data? Do waiters or waitresses earn larger tips To answer this
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.
A salesman for a new manufacturer of cellular phones claims not only that they cost the retailer less but also that the percentage of defective cellular phones found among his products, ( p1 ), will be no higher than the percentage of defectives found in a competitor's line, ( p2 ). To test this statement, the retailer took a random sample of 185 of the salesman's cellular phones and 150 of the competitor's cellular phones. The retailer found that 22 of the salesman's cellular phones and 11 of the competitor's cellular phones were defective. Does the retailer have enough evidence to reject the salesman's claim? Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
A salesman for a new manufacturer of cellular phones claims not only that they cost the retailer less but also that the percentage of defective cellular phones found among his products, ( p1 ), will be no higher than the percentage of defectives found in a competitor's line, ( p2 ). To test this statement, the retailer took a random sample of 130 of the salesman's cellular phones and 110 of the competitor's cellular phones. The retailer found that 10 of the salesman's cellular phones and 5 of the competitor's cellular phones were defective. Does the retailer have enough evidence to reject the salesman's claim? Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Step 5 of 6 : Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0 . Round the numerical portion of your answer to three decimal places.
Suppose that we want to compare the cholestrol contents of four competing diet foods on the basis of the following data (in milligrams per package) which were obtained for three 6-ounce packages of each of the diet foods: Diet food A: 3.6 4.1 4.0 Diet food B : 3.1 3.2 3.9 Diet food C: 3.2 3.5 3.5 Diet food D: 3.5 3.8 3.8 a) Fill in the blanks below. b) Test at the 0.05 level of significance whether the differences among means obtained for the four competing diet foods ( Diet A, B, C, D ) are significant?

A company is considering an organizational change which entails adopting the use of self-managed work teams which they hope will lead to higher levels of employee satisfaction. In order to assess the attitudes of employees of the company towards this change a sample of 250 employees was selected and asked whether they favor the institution of self-managed teams. Three responses were allowed: favor, neutral or oppose. The observed frequency of the results of the survey are shown below: Opinion Type of Job Favor Neutral Oppose Total Hourly Worker 25 40 35 100 Supervision 45 35 20 100 Manager 20 15 15 50 Total 90 90 70 250 Use this data to test the hypothesis that opinion and type of job are independent at the .025 level.
Why can we not use first differences when we have independent cross sections in two years (as opposed to panel data)?
The manager of a men’s clothing catalog measured the market’s response to a $6 decrease in the usual price of his company’s oxford shirts by conducting a sales experiment. An A-B split was used to divide the company’s 120,000-customer mailing list into two groups. Customers in the control group were sent catalogs listing oxford shirts at their usual price of $40. Customers in the test group were sent catalogs listing the price of oxford shirts at $32.80. During the period of the test, customers in the control group purchased 700 oxford shirts, and customers in the test group purchased 889 oxford shirts. What is the independent variable in this sales experiment? What is the dependent variable in this sales experiment? What is the percent change in price in this experiment? What is price elasticity indicated by the results of this experiment.
