- In Exercises 5–16, use the listed paired sample data, and assume that the samples are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Friday the 13th Researchers collected data on the numbers of hospital admissions resulting from motor vehicle crashes, and results are given below for Fridays on the 6th of a month and Fridays on the following 13th of the same month (based on data from “Is Friday the 13th Bad for Your Health?” by Scanlon et al., British Medical Journal, Vol. 307, as listed in the Data and Story Line online resource of data sets). Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean of the population of differences between hospital admissions on days that are Friday the 6th of a month and days that are Friday the 13th of a month. Use the confidence interval to test the claim that when the 13th day of a month falls on a Friday, the numbers of hospital admissions from motor vehicle crashes are not affected.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 5–16, use the listed paired sample data, and assume that the samples are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Heights of Mothers and Daughters Listed below are heights (in.) of mothers and their first daughters. The data are from a journal kept by Francis Galton. (See Data Set 5 “Family Heights” in Appendix B.) Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that there is no difference in heights between mothers and their first daughters.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 9–20, identify which of these types of sampling is used: random, systematic, convenience, stratified, or cluster. Driving A student of the author conducted a survey on driving habits by randomly selecting three different classes and surveying all of the students as they left those classes.arrow_forward
- A researcher is interested in determining the spending habits of the employees in a particularly large law firm . The researcher wants to gather information from at least 50 of the 167 employees . Assume the researcher has complete control over how to pick the residents to collect this data. In the box below, pick a sampling method: Random, Stratified, SystematicCluster, or Voluntary, and describe how to use it in this scenario to collect a sample that will represent the whole law firm Your description should show understanding of the method you chose and be in the context of this scenario - not just a definition of the type of sampling.arrow_forwardSuppose you have to plan how to sample 20 sentences using a Simple Random Sample method. 1) Do you need to know the total number of sentences in the population to do this method? (Explain.) 2) Let's assume we know we have a total of 500 sentences in our book which contains 20 different chapters and 40 pages, outline the process for doing a simple random sample (be complete and specific to the process needed to followed) for a total of twenty sentences and recording the number of words/sentence on each of those sentences selected: Section 2.4: Suppose you have to plan how to sample 20 sentences using a Systematic method, 1) Do you need to know the total number of sentences in the population to do this method? (Explain.) 2) Let's assume we know we have a total of 500 sentences in our book which contains 20 different chapters and 40 pages, outline the process for doing a systematic sampling (be complete and specific to the process needed to followed) for a total of twenty sentences and…arrow_forward
