What are the answers?
Determine whether the study is an experiment or an observational study, and then identify a major problem with the study.
A sociologist has created a brief survey to be given to 2000 adults randomly selected from the U.S. population. Here are her first two questions: (1) Have you ever been the victim of a felony crime? (2) Have you ever been convicted of a felony?

What is a major problem with the study?
O A. The sample includes only U.S. adults.
O B. There is no blinding or replication, which has a high chance of leading to bias.
OC. Individuals convicted of a felony are more likely to not answer the second question honestly.
O D. The responses will be voluntary, which will lead to a high chance of bias.

- Foreign freshmen are required to take an English placement exam. Over the past several years, 20% of the new students have failed the test and have been placed in remedial classes. In a sample of n = 100 studentsfrom this year’s class, only 12 failed the test.arrow_forwardFunding for many schools comes from taxes based on assessed values of local properties. People's homes are assessed higher if they have extra features such as paved driveways and fireplaces. Assessment records in a certain school district indicate that 43% of the homes have paved driveways and 8% have fireplaces. The Addition Rule might suggest, then, that 51% of residences have a paved driveway or a fireplace. What is wrong with that reasoning? Choose the correct answer below. OA. The reasoning is correct. Thus, 51% of homes have either a paved driveway or a fireplace. OB. The sum of the probabilities of the two given events does not equal 1, so this is not a legitimate probability assignment. OC. A home may have a paved driveway and a fireplace. The events are not disjoint, so the Addition Rule does not apply. OD. If a home has a paved driveway or a fireplace, it can influence another homeowner to add a paved driveway or a fireplace. The events are not independent, so the Addition…arrow_forwardb.

You want to see whether the average offering given at one churchis the same as the average offering at another church. The number of people who attend Church 1 is201, and the average amount offered is $12.50. The number of people who attend Church 2 is 350, andthe average amount offered is $11.87. The sample standard deviations for Church 1 and Church 2 are$3.15 and $4.57, respectively. (a) What is the hypothesis you want to test? (b) Calculate the test statistic and test your hypothesis at the 95 and 99 percent confidence levels. (c) Pretend that the sample means and standard deviations remain the same, but that the numberof people sampled at Church 2 was 201 instead of 350. Does your test-statistic change?
