QUESTION 12 Historically, the proportion of people who trade in their old car to a car dealer when purchasing a new car is 48%. Over the previous 6 months, in a sample of 115 new-car buyers, 46 have traded in their old car. To determine (at the 10% level of significance) whether the proportion of new-car buyers that trade in their old car has statistically significantly decreased, what can you conclude concerning the null hypothesis?
QUESTION 11 An educator estimates that the dropout rate for seniors at high schools in Colorado is 15%. Last year in a random sample of 300 Colorado seniors, 34 withdrew from school. At α = 0.10 level of significance, is there enough evidence to reject the educator’s claim? Yes, because the p-value is 0.075 Yes, because the z-statistic is 1.6 No, because the p-value is 0.038 Yes, because the p-value is larger than 0.15

Question 7 Consider a cohort study to compare the mortality rate of myocardial infarction (MI) in men with sedentary work (exposed group) to men with physically active work (unexposed). If in the exposed, there were 36,000 person (man) years of observation and 126 deaths whereas the unexposed had 24,000 man-years of observation and 44 deaths. Compute the following a) Mortality rate in each cohort? b) What is the relative risk of dying, comparing these 2 groups? c) What is the attributable risk of sedentary work? d) What is the attributable benefit of physical activity? e) If we assume that MI is associated with the mortality in this cohort (causality), what proportion of the disease in the higher group is potentially preventable?
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 4 PART A- What is the standard error of the correlation coefficient for the association of extroversion and neuroticism in personalities? QUESTION 4 PART B- Carry out a formal t-test for the association between extroversion and neuroticism in personalities.xls. H0: The population correlation coefficient is 0. HA: The population correlation coefficient is not 0. What is the value of the t-statistic corresponding to this test? (Report the absolute value. The t-distribution is symmetric, thus it is easier to compare the absolute value of the t-statistic with the positive values in statistical table C). DATA IS ATTACHED.
Question 17: A well-known brokerage firm executive claimed that 90% of investors are currently confident of meeting their investment goals. An XYZ Investor Optimism Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 100 people, 81% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals.Test the claim that the proportion of people who are confident is smaller than 90% at the 0.05 significance level.The null and alternative hypothesis would be: H0:p≤0.9H0:p≤0.9H1:p>0.9H1:p>0.9 H0:μ≤0.9H0:μ≤0.9H1:μ>0.9H1:μ>0.9 H0:μ≥0.9H0:μ≥0.9H1:μ<0.9H1:μ<0.9 H0:μ=0.9H0:μ=0.9H1:μ≠0.9H1:μ≠0.9 H0:p=0.9H0:p=0.9H1:p≠0.9H1:p≠0.9 H0:p≥0.9H0:p≥0.9H1:p<0.9H1:p<0.9 The test is: two-tailed right-tailed left-tailed The test statistic is: (to 3 decimals)The p-value is: (to 4 decimals)Based on this we: Fail to reject the null hypothesis Reject the null hypothesis

Question 2 There is a claim that drink driving has been very common in high ways. The Highway Police randomly caught 300 drivers for breath alcohol test and found that 14% of drivers have breath alcohol over the legal limit. At 4% level of significance, use the p-value approach to test the hypothesis that the percentage of drivers who are drink driving is more than 10%.

question 4 Chen et al. (2000) examined the foraging behaviour of northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) that breed along the west coast of Mexico and the USA. They attached platform satellite transmitter terminals (PTTs) to 22 male seals and recorded, for each seal, the distance (km) to its main feeding area offshore and the amount of time (days) it spent at the feeding area. The results are presented below: What two null hypotheses are being tested with the output shown above? What statistical conclusions would you draw about these hypotheses? Complete the regression equation by filling in the blanks (to the nearest 3 decimal places). duration = + * distance What is one biological interpretation of this relationship between duration and distance ? What % of the variation in duration at main feeding area was explained by distance to feeding area?
