Officials at Null University conducted a survey of recent graduates to collect data on student health habits hopes of optimizing future exercise programs. The survey revealed that an alarming proportion of student were not exercising regularly. When asked if they exercise regularly, 60% of graduates reported getting no regular exercise, 20% reported exercising sporadically, and only 20% reported exercising regularly as a stu The following year the University launched an exercise campaign in an attempt to increase healthy behavic among students. To evaluate the impact of the program, officials administered the same survey to a new c of graduates and found that 274 of them got no regular exercise, 91 exercised sporadically, and 92 exercis regularly. At a = 0.05, has there been a shift in the distribution of responses to the exercise question following the implementation of the campaign? Calculate the test statistic. Calculate the p-value at a = 0.05. State your decision. O (a) Reject HO O (b) Cannot Reject H0

According to the World Health Organization, obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally. While obesity has generally been linked with chronic disease and disability, researchers argue that it may also affect wages. In other words, the body mass index (BMI) of an employee is a predictor for salary. (A person is considered overweight if his/her BMI is at least 25 and obese if BMI exceeds 30.) The accompanying data file includes salary (in $1,000s) for 30 college-educated men with their respective BMI and a dummy variable that represents 1 for a white man and 0 otherwise.

An independent research group has been studying the chances that an accident at a nuclear power plant will result in radiation leakage. The group considers that the only possible types of accidents at a reactor are fire, mechanical failure, and human error, and that two or more accidents never occur together. It has performed studies that indicate that if there were a fire, a radiation leak would occur 20 percent of the time; if there were a mechanical failure, a radiation leak would occur 50 percent of the time; and if there were a human error, a radiation leak would occur 10 percent of the time. Its studies have also shown that the probability of A fire and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0010. A mechanical failure and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0015. A human error and a radiation leak occurring together is 0.0012. (a)What are the respective probabilities of a fire, mechanical failure, and human error? (b)What are the respective probabilities that a…
During the Covid crisis, there were lockdowns and working-from-home, which made collecting data on unemployment more challenging. Researchers from Heriot Watt University conducted a survey of 400 individuals in the labour force to assess rise in unemployment in September 2020. The object was to find out whether the unemployment rate had risen above a benchmark proportion of 6 per cent of the labour force in Malaysia. Of the surveyed persons, 34 reported being unemployed in the week prior to the survey. Conduct a two-tailed test of whether unemployment rate during this period was 6 per cent. Set out your null and alternative hypotheses, significance level, test statistic, assumptions and sampling distribution clearly. Conduct the test and comment on the economic significance of the findings
A well-known study of 22,000 male physicians was conducted to determine if taking aspirin daily reduces the chances of a heart attack. Half of the physicians were given a regular dose of aspirin while the other half was given placebos. Six years later, among those who took aspirin, 104 suffered heart attacks while among those who took placebos, 189 suffered heart attacks. Does it appear that the aspirin can reduce the number of heart attacks among the sample group that took aspirin? Use α = 0.05.
Airlines have increasingly outsourced the maintenance of their planes to other companies. A concern voiced by critics is that the maintenance may be less carefully done, so that outsourcing creates a safety hazard. In addition, flight delays are often due to maintenance problems, so one might look at government data on percent of major maintenance outsourced and percent of flight delays blamed on the airline to determine if these concerns are justified. This was done, and data from 2005 and 2006 appeared to justify the concerns of the critics. Do more recent data still support the concerns of the critics? Data from 2014 is in the given table.

A smartphone manufacturer is so certain of its quality control that it offers a complete replacement warranty if the smartphone fails within 3 years. Based upon compiled data, the company notes that there is a 2 percent chance that its smartphone will fail during the first year, a 10 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first year fails during the second year, and a 20 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first two years fails during the third year. The warranty does not cover replacement smartphones after the third year. (a) Formulate the evolution of the status of the smartphone as a Markov Chain whose states include two abosrbing states that involve needing to honor the warranty or having the smartphone survive the warranty period. Construct the transition probability matrix and draw the transition probability diagram. (b) Determine the probability that: (a) the manufacturer will have to honor the warranty and (b) the manufacturer will not…
Since its removal from the banned substances list in 2004 by the World Anti-Doping Agency,caffeine has been used by athletes with the expectancy that it enhances their workout andperformance. However, few studies look at the role caffeine plays in sedentary females.Researchers at the University of Western Australia conducted a test in which they determined therate of energy expenditure (kilojoules) on 10 healthy, sedentary females who were nonregularcaffeine users. Each female was randomly assigned either a placebo or caffeine pill (6mg/kg) 60minutes prior to exercise. The subject rode an exercise bike for 15 minutes at 65% of theirmaximum heart rate, and the energy expenditure was measured. The process was repeated on aseparate day for the remaining treatment. The mean difference in energy expenditure (caffeine –placebo) was 18kJ with a standard deviation of 19kJ. If we assume that the differences follow anormal distribution can it be concluded that that caffeine appears to increase…

A sociologist recorded the number of contacts entered in a cell phone and the number of texts sent in a week for 20 cell phone users. The resulting data were used to conduct a hypothesis test to investigate whether there is a linear relationship between the number of contacts and the number of texts sent. What are the correct hypotheses for the test?
The medical community unanimously agrees on the health benefits of regular exercise, but are adults listening? During each of the past 15 years, a polling organization has surveyed americans about their exercise habits. In the most recent of these polls, slightly over half of all American adults reported that they exercise for 30 or more minutes at least three times per week. The following data show the percentages of adults who reported that they exercise for 30 or more minutes at least three times per week during each of the 15 years of this study.
