The survey asked a series of questions including the following: 1) What is your gender? 2) How many people are there in your household? 3) How many times have you made an in-store purchase of the products made by our company during the past 18 months? 4) How would you rate the quality of your purchase experience with excellent, good, average, poor, or terrible? A random sample of 55 customers' responses is collected. a. Identify how many cases are collected. b.

- Although consumers often want to touch products before purchasing them, they generally prefer that others have not touched products they would like to buy. Can another person touching a product create a positive reaction? Subjects were given instructions to contact a sales associate at a university bookstore who would provide them with a shirt to try on. When meeting the sales associate, subjects were told that there was only one shirt left and it was being tried on by another “customer.” The other customer trying on the shirt was a confederate of the experimenter and was either an attractive, well-dressed professional female model or an average-looking female college student wearing jeans and a tee shirt. Subjects, who were either males or females, saw the confederate leaving the dressing room, where the shirt was left for them to try on. There was also a control group of subjects who were handed the shirt directly off the rack by the sales associate. Thus, there were five treatments:…arrow_forwardOf the claims shown below, determine which are valid statistical hypotheses and which are not. For those claims that are not valid, explain why.

- In a statistics activity, students are asked to determine if there is a difference in the proportion of times that a spinning penny will land with tails up, and the proportion of times a spinning dime will land tails up. The students are instructed to spin the penny and the dime 30 times and record the number of times they land tails up. For one student, the penny lands tails side up 18 times, and the dime lands tails side up 20 times. Assuming the conditions for inference are met, what is the 98% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of tails side up for a penny and a dime?arrow_forwardFor a population with u = 34 and o = 8, what is the X value corresponding to z = -0.50?arrow_forwardThe academic planner of a university thinks that less than 35% of the entire student body attends summer school.
