Relaxing after work:  The 2010 General Social Survey asked the question, "After an average work day, about how many hours do you have to relax or pursue activities that you enjoy?" to a random sample of 1,155 Americans. The average relaxing time was found to be 1.65 hours. Determine which of the following is an observation, a variable, a sample statistic, or a population parameter. a) An American in the sample b) Number of hours spent relaxing after an average work day. c) 1.65. d) Average number of hours all Americans spend relaxing after an average work day.

A television station wishes to study the relationship between viewership of its 11 p.m. news program and viewer age (18 years or less, 19 to 35, 36 to 54, 55 or older). A sample of 250 television viewers in each age group is randomly selected, and the number who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news is found for each sample. The results are given in the table below.      Age Group     Watch11 p.m. News? 18 or less 19 to 35 36 to 54 55 or Older Total Yes 37 46 59 83 225 No 213 204 191 167 775 Total 250 250 250 250 1,000     (a) Let p1, p2, p3, and p4 be the proportions of all viewers in each age group who watch the station’s 11 p.m. news. If these proportions are equal, then whether a viewer watches the station’s 11 p.m. news is independent of the viewer’s age group. Therefore, we can test the null hypothesis H0 that p1, p2, p3, and p4 are equal by carrying out a chi-square test for independence. Perform this test by setting α = .05. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)…

The General Social Survey is an annual survey given to a random selection of about 1500 adults in the United States. Among the many questions asked are "What is the highest level of education you've completed?" and "If you're employed full-time, how many hours do you spend working at your job during a typical week?" In a recent year, 1079 respondents answered both questions. The summary statistics are given in the chart below. (The sample data consist of the times, in hours per week, that were given by the respondents.) Sample Sample Sample size Groups mean variance Less than h.s.

Such a test uses the following statistic. Variation between the samples F= Variation within the samples For the data from…
