A random sample of 11 respondentsparticipated in the survey and the result is shown below:Table 1Before PandemicRespondent1234891011Age2435272345567238294248(RM)23121380154524100807550During pandemic(RM)35402315204530100858050Answer the following questions without using any output from any software.a) Calculate the mean monthly spending different before and during COVID-19 pandemic.b) Calculate the standard deviation monthly spending different before and during COVID-19pandemic.c) At (= 0.05, can you support the claim that the mean monthly spending on health supplement ishigher during as compared to before COVID-19 pandemic? Assume the population variances areequal.d) Calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient between age and monthly spending during COVID-19pandemic and describe the relationship.e) Based on the answer in (c) and (d), write a brief conclusion on the monthly spending on healthsupplement.||

Question #4. US Universities found that 72% of people are concerned about the possibility that their personal records could be stolen over the Internet. If a random sample of 300 college students at a Midwestern university were taken and 228 of them were concerned about the possibility that their personal records could be stolen over the Internet, could you conclude at the 0.025 level of significance that a higher proportion of the university's college students are concerned about Internet theft than the public at large? Report the p-value for this test. Z0.025 = 1.96
Question 6A multinational corporation is conducting a study to see how its employees in five different countries respond to three gifts in an incentivescheme. The numbers of employees who choose each of the three gifts(G1 to G3) in each of the five countries (A to E) are given in the tablein ‘Dataset6’ in the Excel document.1. Set up the structure of an appropriate statistical test to determine whether the data supports a link between choice of gift andcountry, including the statistic to be used.2.

Birthweight In 2003 the Journal of the AmericanMedical Association reported a study examining thepossible impact of air pollution caused by the 9/11 attack New York’s World Trade Center on the weight ofbabies. Researchers found that 8% of 182 babies born tomothers who were exposed to heavy doses of soot andash on September 11 were classified as having low birthweight. Only 4% of 2300 babies born in another NewYork City hospital whose mothers had not been near thesite of the disaster were similarly classified. Does thisindicate a possibility that air pollution might be linked toa significantly higher proportion of low-weight babies?a) Was this an experiment? Explain. b) Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclu-sion in context. c) If you concluded there is a difference, estimate thatdifference with a confidence interval and interpret thatinterval in context.

A study was conducted to determine whether the use of seat belts in motor vehicles depends on the educational status of the parents. A sample of 792 children treated for injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents was obtained, and each child was classified according to (1) parents’ educational status (College Degree or Non-College Degree) and (2) seat belt usage (worn or not worn) during the accident. The number of children in each category is given in the table on problem 4 of the excel document. Non-College Degree College Degree Seat Belts not worn 31 148 Seat Belts worn 283 330 total 314 478 What would be the null hypothesis: State the alternative hypothesis: You will reject the H0 if _______________
QUESTION 3 In a study of vehicle ownership, it has been found that 29% of U.S. households do not own a vehicle, with 49% owning 1 vehicle, and the remaining owning 2 or more vehicles. The data for a random sample of 206 households in a resort community are as follows:76 owned 0 vehicles, 105 owned 1 vehicle, and the remaining owned 2 or more vehicles.When testing (at the 5% level of significance) whether the vehicle-ownership distribution in this community differs from that of the nation as a whole what is the critical value? (please round your answer to 3 decimal places)
Section 9.1 Question #4 Since an instant replay system for tennis was introduced at a major tournament, men challenged 1386 referee calls, with the result that 429 of the calls were overturned. Women challenged 758 referee calls, and 212 of the calls were overturned. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that men and women have equal success in challenging calls. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. Consider the first sample to be the sample of male tennis players who challenged referee calls and the second sample to be the sample of female tennis players who challenged referee calls. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? A. H0: p1=p2 H1: p1 ≠ p2 B. H0: p1 ≥ p2 H1: p1 ≠ p2 C. H0: p1 ≤ p2 H1: p1 ≠ p2 D. H0: p1 ≠ p2 H1: p1 = p2 E.

In Colorado, there is a large group of deer that spend their summer months in a region on one side of a highway and survive the winter months in a lower region on the other side. To determine if the highway has disturbed deer migration to the winter feeding area, the following data were gathered on a random sample of 10 wilderness districts in the winter feeding area. Row B represents the average January deer count for a 5-year period before the highway was built, and row A represents the average January deer count for a 5-year period after the highway was built. The highway department claims that the January population has not changed. Test this claim against the claim that the January population has dropped. Use a 5% level of significance. Units used in the table are hundreds of deer. (Let d = B − A.)

An experiment to determine if a migraine medication decreases a person's average number of monthly migraines is performed on 400 people who report they have several migraines a month. Researchers randomly assigned 200 people to the treatment group and 200 people to the control group. After the study, the researchers determined that 48 of the subjects in the treatment group and 28 of the subjects in the control group average fewer migraines per month. The data from the two groups are resampled 150 times, and the table shows the distribution of the differences of the proportions for the reconfigured treatment and control groups.
An automotive engineer is investigating two different types of metering devices for an electronic fuel injection system to determine whether they differ in their fuel mileage performance. The system is installed on 10 different cars, and a test is run with each metering device on each car. The data is provided below: Metering Device Car 1 2 1 17.6 16.8 2 19.4 20.0 3 18.2 17.6 4 17.1 16.4 5 15.3 16.0 6 15.9 15.9 7 16.3 16.5 8 18.0 18.4 9 17.3 16.4 10 19.1 20.1 Is there a significant difference between the means of the two metering devices? Use . Interpret the result in the context of the problem. An article in the journal Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials (Vol. 6, 1989) reported the results of an analysis of the weight of calcium in standard cement and cement doped with lead. Reduced levels of calcium would indicate that the hydration mechanism in the cement is blocked…
