Use the technology display, which results from the head injury measurements from car crash dummies listed below. The measurements are in hic (head injury criterion) units, and they are from the same cars used for the table below. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the given claim.
Test the null hypothesis that head injury measurements are not affected by an interaction between the type of car (foreign, domestic) and size of the car (small, medium, large). What do you conclude?

- Job Gains and Losses. In the article “Business Employment Dynamics: New Data on Gross Job Gains and Losses” (Monthly Labor Review, Vol. 127, Issue 4, pp. 29–42), J. Spletzer et al. examined gross job gains and losses as a percentage of the average of previous and current employment figures. A simple random sample of 20 quarters provided the net percentage gains (losses are negative gains) for jobs as presented on the WeissStats site. Use the technology of your choice to do the following. a. Decide whether, on average, the net percentage gain for jobs exceeds 0.2. Assume a population standard deviation of 0.42. Apply the one-mean z-test with a 5% significance level. b. Obtain a normal probability plot, boxplot, histogram, and stemand-leaf diagram of the data. c.

- In Exercises, use either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach to perform the required hypothesis test. Body Mass Index. Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. According to the document Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for adults, a BMI of greater than 25 indicates an above healthy weight (i.e., overweight or obese). Of 750 randomly selected adults whose highest degree is a bachelor’s, 386 have an above healthy weight; and of 500 randomly selected adults with a graduate degree, 237 have an above healthy weight. a. What assumptions are required for using the two-proportions z-test here?b. Apply the two-proportions z-test to determine, at the 5% significance level, whether the percentage of adults who have an above healthy weight is greater for those whose highest degree is a bachelor’s than for those with a graduate degree.arrow_forwardTest the claim about the population mean, μ, at the given level of significance using the given sample statistics.

In the article “Violence and Sex Impair Memory for Television Ads” (Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol. 87, No. 3, pp. 557–564), B. Bushman and A. Bonacci studied whether the type of television program in which commercials are placed affects a viewer’s ability to remember the product. Participants watched a violent, sexually explicit, or neutral TV program that contained nine advertisements. The next day, participants were asked to recall the advertised brands. The number of brands the participants were able to recall are presented in the following table. Violent Sexually explict Neutral 0 0 4 0 2 1.000 2 2 2 1 2 3 1 0 2 0 1 7 At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the median number of advertised brands a viewer is able to recall…arrow_forwardYou may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. A manufacturer is well known for its high-quality die-cast metal alloy toy replicas of tractors and other farm equipment. As part of a periodic procurement evaluation, the manufacturer is considering purchasing parts for a toy tractor line from three different suppliers. The parts received from the suppliers are classified as having a minor defect, having a major defect, or being good. Test results from samples of parts received from each of the three suppliers are shown below. Note that any test with these data is no longer a test of proportions for the three supplier populations because the categorical response variable has three outcomes: minor defect, major defect, and good.
