Question

Transcribed Image Text:Suppose you wanted to evaluate the performance of the three judges in Smallville, Texas: Judge Adams, Judge Brown, and Judge Carter. Over a three-year period in
Smallville, Judge Adams saw 24% of the cases, Judge Brown saw 31% of the cases, and Judge Carter saw the remainder of the cases. 4% of Judge Adams' cases were
appealed, 7% of Judge Brown's cases were appealed, and 8% of Judge Carter's cases were appealed. (See the case problem on pages 216-218 of your textbook for a
similar problem.)
Question 3
Given thejudge in a case from this three-year period was not Judge Brown, what is the probability the case was not appealed?

- Example 2: Susan is a local politician who is planning on running for re-election and she wants to figure out what proportion of registered voters in her area would support her. Her campaign manager brought in 100 individuals as a focus group. Out of those 100 brought in, 37 were republican, 41 were democrat, and 22 had no party preference. Susan was worried that this focus group wouldn't accurately represent the breakdown of registered voters in that area which is 45% republican, 45% democrat, and 10% no party preference. Carry out an appropriate hypothesis test at the a = 0.04 level to determine if there is evidence that the political breakdown of the focus group does not match the political breakdown of the registered voters %3D in the area.arrow_forwardEd's Tires and Brakes has two locations, one on the northwest side of town and one on the southeast side of town. At both locations are performed routine tire repairs and rotations, as well as expensive brake repairs. This past week, 80% of the cars serviced at Ed's were serviced at the northwest location, while 20% of the cars were serviced at the southeast location. (No car was serviced at both locations.) Brake repairs were more typical at the northwest location than at the southeast location: 65% of the cars at the northwest location required brake repairs, while 35% of the cars at the southeast location required brake repairs. Let N denote the event that a randomly chosen car (taken to Ed's in the past week) was serviced at the northwest location and N denote the event that a randomly chosen car was serviced at the southeast location. Let B denote the event that a randomly chosen car required brake repairs and B denote the event that a randomly chosen car did not require brake…arrow_forwardA researcher wants to be sure that the sample in her study is not unrepresentative of the distribution of ethnic groups in her community. Her sample includes 300 whites, 80 African Americans, 100 Latinos, 40Asians, and 80 others. In her community, according to census records, there are 48% whites, 12% African Americans, 18% Latinos, 9% Asians, and 13% others. Is her sample unrepresentative of the population in her community?

- Researchers were interested in studying the relationship between living location (Manhattan vs. other boroughs of NYC) and anxiety. Researchers decided to randomly select 50 residents from Manhattan and 40 residents from the other four boroughs. All were free from anxiety disorders at the start of the study. They then followed the participants for three years to determine how many in each group developed an anxiety disorder. Among residents of Manhattan, 18 out of 50 developed an anxiety disorder. Among residents of the other four boroughs, 12 out of 40 developed an anxiety disorder. Question : The risk of developing an anxiety disorder for those living in Manhattan was _______ times the risk of developing an anxiety disorder for those living in the other boroughs.arrow_forwardIn a 2015 nationally-representative sample of youth in grades 9-12: 22.6% reported being in a physical fight in the 12 months preceding the survey; the prevalence was higher among males (28.4%) than females (16.5%). 16.2% reported carrying a weapon (gun, knife, or club) on one or more days in the 30 days preceding the survey; the prevalence was higher among males (24.3%) than females (7.5%). 5.3% reported carrying a gun on one or more days in the 30 days preceding the survey; the prevalence was higher among males (8.7%) than females (1.6%).

- On a peer-to-peer (P2P) lending website, borrowers complete an approval scoring form that lenders use to assess creditworthiness. Borrowers are rated A, B, C or D, based on their scores, with A having the highest scores and D having the lowest.In a large sample of borrowers, 6% were rated A, 32% were rated B, 35% were rated C, and the rest were rated D. Suppose the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 49.Round numeric answers to the nearest integer.a) What is the cut-off score between A and B? b) What is the cut-off score between B and C? c) What is the cut-off score between C and D? d) What score corresponds to the 60th percentile? e) What score corresponds to the 20th percentile? f) What is the minimum score above which lies 15% of the scores? g) Between what scores will the middle 58% of scores lie?

Anita's reports that 48% of its customers order their food to go. If this proportion is correct, what is the probability that, in a random sample of 4 customers at Anita's, exactly 3 order their food to go?

Data on recent reviews indicates that 50% of them are short, 30% are medium, and the other 20% are long. Reviews are submitted in either Word or LaTex. For short reviews, 70% are in Word, whereas 40% of medium reviews are in Word and 30% of long reviews are in Word. Suppose a recent review is randomly selected. (a) What is the probability that the selected review was submitted in Word format? (b) If the selected review was submitted in Word format, what are the posterior probabilities of it being short, medium, or long? (Round your answers to three decimal places.) short medium longarrow_forward
- The national Park service monitors streams in Rainier national park for pollution and fish spawning habits. Suppose it is known that 40% of the streams in the park are either considered "polluted" or "known for spawning stream", 15% of the streams are classified as "polluted" and 35% of the streams are "known for spawning streams" what proportion of streams are known to be both polluted and known for spawning streams.arrow_forwardA company manufactures shoes in three different factories. Factory Omaha Produces 25% of the company's shoes, Factory Chicago produces 60%, and factory Seattle produces 15%. One percent of the shoes produced in Omaha are mislabeled, 0.5 % of the Chicago shoes are mislabeled, and 2% of the Seattle shoes are mislabeled. If you purchase one pair of shoes manufactured by this company and you determine they are mislabeled what is the probability they were made in Omaha?arrow_forwardAn apartment management company wants to explore the consequences of allowing residents to have multiple dogs. They would like to find out whether the number of dogs predicts resident ratings. They would also like to control for the year the apartment complex was built because that might also affect the resident rating. They have collected data on several of their existing complexes. For each complex, they have counted the number of dogs currently living in the complex, the year the complex was built, and the average rating for that particular complex. They would like to perform a multiple regression on these variables to predict resident ratings. See data below. These data are the same as the previous question. Positive and Negative Dog Ratings Number of dogs Year of facility Rating (out of 5) 54 1975 2 31 1964 3.5 0 2015 4.8 11 2011 3.8 73 1964 2.3 23 2016 3.7 0 2015 4.7 49 1989 2.7 What can we conclude about this multiple regression analysis?
