The members of the band Metallica, always anxious to capitalize on their success, have started a new credit card company : Metallicard. It issues cards whose grade depends on your credit reliability score, which is determined by members of the band. FICO, the company behind typical credit scores, is performing a study to analyze Metallicard's customers. They sampled 150 Metallicard members, obtaining the following data: Grade Reliability Score Frequency Platinum 157 -181 18 Gold 132 - 156 22 Silver 107 - 131 34 Bronze 82 - 106 57 - 81 35 Lead 41 Use this information to select the response which, when placed into the blank, makes a correct sentence. FICO is, in particular, concerned with the distribution of Reliability scores of Metallicard customers. Using the above Frequency distribution, the sample's approximate mean reliability score is O 120 O 30 O 109 O 97

A community college professor is interested in determining the relationship between the number of posts students make on Schoology and their respective grades. He planned to correlate the results from a sample from all his classes, however, due to time constraints, he decided to sample only from students with high grades. As his statistical consultant, state whether or not you support his plans and why.
The director of an obesity clinic in a large northwestern city believes that drinking soft drinks contribute to obesity in children. To determine whether a relationship exists between these two variables, she conducts the following pilot study. Eight- 12-year-old male volunteers are randomly selected from children attending a local junior high school. Parents of the children are asked to monitor the number of soft drinks consumed by their child over a one week period. The children are weighed at the end of the week and their weights converted into body mass index (BMI) values. The BMI is a common index used to measure obesity and takes into account both height and weight. An individual is considered obese if they have a BMI value 30. The following data or collected: child. # of soft drinks consumed BMI 1 3 20 2 1 18 3…
An orthopedic surgeon observes that many of his patients coming in for total knee replacement surgery played organized sports before the age of 10. He plans to collect more extensive data on participation in organized sports from four patients undergoing knee replacement surgery and to report the findings. Identify the type of study proposed.
A researcher is interested in the reaction time of students and how it impacts their performance. To test this relationship, he asks 50 students to complete an online test and records their reaction times and scores. However, he notes that their responses are sensitive to their internet speed, meaning students with quick reaction times but slow internet speed may not perform up to expectations on the test, leading to unnecessary noise. In an independent groups design, what would this type of variability in test performance be called? SSSubjects SSError SSTreatment SSTotal
A young professor found out from a senior professor that psychology students in St. Alex University tend to do good in their Social Science subject, claiming that historically, the mean grade of psych students in the said course is 1.50. Curious if this claim was true, the young professor took a random sample of 9 students who took Social Science subject. Before collecting data, he was undecided about his own claim because he knew of some students who did really good in the course but has also encountered others who did poorly. He found that their mean grade for the course is 1.35 with a standard deviation of 0.50. Use the Test of Significance Approach in testing the young professor’s claim. a. Estimate μ at 90% confidence interval. b. Between z and t, which is more appropriate to use given the data? Why? c. What are the chances that your estimate of μ was wrong? Describe and explain a potential source of error to your estimate. d. Holding % of CI constant, what can you do to lower…
A low-level CDC bureaucrat wants to please his boss by gathering evidence that the current government mandated shut down of society is not causing people's mental health to deteriorate, so that it can safely be continued for several years if the expert says is necessary. He pulls a random sample of 1600 citizens, Gathering data on such items as income loss, weight gain, access to toilet paper, our spent binge watching Netflix, and number of injuries caused by household fight, and compiles all this into a significantly-weighted "misery index". The mean misery index from the sample is 99.2; it seems reasonable to use a population standard deviation o=19.1. A. Does this information provide significant evidence (at the 5% level) that the Nationwide mean misery index is less than 100? Set up appropriate null and alternative hypothesis, calculate the appropriate test statistic, find the p-value, and state your conclusion.
The technology underlying hip replacements has changed as these operations havebecome more popular (over 250,000 in the United States in 2008). Starting in 2003,highly durable ceramic hips were marketed. Unfortunately, for too many patients theincreased durability has been counterbalanced by an increased incidence ofsqueaking. The May 11, 2008, issue of the New York Times reported that in one studyof 143 individuals who received ceramic hips between 2003 and 2005, 10 of the hipsdeveloped squeaking.a. Calculate a lower confidence bound at the 95% confidence level for the trueproportion of such hips that develop squeaking.b. Interpret the 95% confidence level used in (a).
Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 900 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy .) A study was conducted on a sample of 27 randomly selected tardigrade colonies, finding that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 907 Gy , with a sample standard deviation of 17 Gy . Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, to support the claim that μ , the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 900…

Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1350 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy .) A study was conducted on a sample of 18 randomly selected tardigrade colonies, finding that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 1375 Gy , with a sample standard deviation of 75 Gy . Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, to support the claim that μ , the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 1350 Gy .
People often wait till middle age to worry about having a healthy heart. However, recent studies have shown that earlier monitoring of risk factors such as blood pressure can be very beneficial (The Wall Street Journal, January 10, 2012). Having higher than normal blood pressure, a condition known as hypertension, is a major risk factor for heart disease. Suppose a large sample of individuals of various ages and gender was selected and that each individual’s blood pressure was measured to determine if they have hypertension. For the sample data, the following table shows the percentage of individuals with hypertension. Develop a side-by-side bar chart with age on the horizontal axis, the percentage of individuals with hypertension on the vertical axis, and side-by-side bars based on gender. What does the display you developed in part (a), indicate about hypertension and age? Comment on differences in gender. Age Male Female 20 - 34 11.0% 9.0% 35 – 44…

Given that you have available data from the Kinsey Institute (IndianaUniversity) about the general sex drive for women of the same demographic as in your study, youdecide to compare your group to this population estimate.If testing hypotheses about the effects of chocolate on sex drive, it would be most appropriate tocalculate a ...1)Paired sampled t2)Z-test3)Independent-samples t-test 4)One- sample t-test
