Procedures for Handling Ties In the sign lest procedure described in this section, we exclude ties (represented by 0 instead of a sign of + or −). A second approach is to treat half of the 0s as positive signs and half as negative signs. (If the number of 0s is odd, exclude one so that they can be divided equally.) With a third approach, in two-tailed tests make half of the 0s positive and half negative: in one-tailed tests make all 0s cither positive or negative, whichever supports the null hypothesis. Repeat Example 4 “Body Temperatures” using the second and third approaches to handling ties. Do the different approaches lead to very different test statistics, P-values, and conclusions?

- Placing people in line In how many arrangements can 5 women and 5 men be placed in a line if the women and men alternate?arrow_forwardFind three positive geometric means between 2 and 8arrow_forwardGiven a cube that has a side length of one, determine the greatest number of points that can be placed on the cube (located on faces or edges) so that for any 2 points they are at least one length apart from each other. To show that there is a x, number, you will have to draw x points that are all one length apart and provide mathematical proof that a collection of x+1 points has 2 points that are less then one apart. (This is a combinatorics and graph theory math problem)arrow_forward
- Consider splitting a circle into n sectors. There are k >= 3 colors. We define an as the number of ways that this circle can be colored by k >= 3 colors such that no two consecutive sectors have the same color. Find a recursive relation for an for n >= 3.arrow_forwardWhen are ~o attributesJaid to be positively assOCiated and nep'tive1y associated? Also define coniplete association aIld dissociation of two attributes. (d) Derive an expression for a m~asure of association between two attributes.arrow_forwardUse the relationship you described (or the one given in the solutions to Homework 2) to prove Theorem 7.5 from the textbook. Or equivalently, to prove the following: gcd(a, b) · lcm(a, b) = a · b, for any positive integers a, and b. Note: You can not prove that a statement is true in general by showing it is true for some example numbers. You must use variables and full sentences to prove the above statement is true for any positive integers a and b.arrow_forward
- The five most common words appearing in spam emails are shipping! today! here! available, and fingertips! (Andy Greenberg, "The Most Common Words In Spam Email;' Fo1beswebsite, March 17, 2010). Many spam filters separate spam from ham (email not considered to be spam) through the application of the Bayes theorem. Suppose that for one email account, 1 in every 10 messages is spam and the proportions of spam messages that have the five most common words in spam email are given below. shipping! .051 today! .045 here! .034 available .014 fingertips! .014 Also suppose that the proportions of ham messages that have these words are shipping! .0015 today! .0022 here .0022 available .0041 fingertips! .0011 If a message includes the word shipping! what is the probability the message is spam? If a message includes the word shipping!, what is the probability the message is ham? Should messages that include the word…arrow_forwardA finite sequence of numbers is called AWESOME if each subsequent member of the sequence, except the first one, is larger than the previous one and if the product of all the members of that sequence is a perfect square. For example, sequence 2,6,27 is an AWESOME sequence. Determine the natural numbers x and y such that the sequence 28,x,y,65 is an AWESOME sequence.arrow_forward
