Textbook Question
Chapter 12.2, Problem 14E
Vehicle Quality Ratings. A J. D. Power and Associates vehicle quality survey asked new owners a variety of questions about their recently purchased automobile. One question asked for the owner’s rating of the vehicle using categorical responses of average, outstanding, and exceptional. Another question asked for the owner’s education level with the categorical responses some high school, high school graduate, some college, and college graduate. Assume the sample data below are for 500 owners who had recently purchased an automobile.
- a. Use a .05 level of significance and a test of independence to determine if a new owner’s vehicle quality rating is independent of the owner’s education. What is the p-value and what is your conclusion?
- b. Use the overall percentage of average, outstanding, and exceptional ratings to comment upon how new owners rate the quality of their recently purchased automobiles.

One study presented 200 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms per square meter (kg/m²) of fat-free body mass. Typical young men have about 20 kg/m². Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented "what women prefer." The mean gap between self-image and "what women prefer" was 2.35 kg/m². Suppose that the "muscle gap" in the population of all young men has a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m² Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of muscle think they should add to be attractive to women (Enter your answers rounded to four decimal places.) young 00 ible lower limit = 00 upper limit = 00 00 100 100 3 # E 80 DOD F4 $ 94 55 6 MacBook Air R T Y kg/m² kg/m²…arrow_forward
