Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Chapter 14.4, Problem 16E

A survey to explore the relationship between voters’ church-attendance patterns and their choice of presidential candidate was reported in the Riverside Press-Enterprise prior to the 2004 presidential election. Voters were asked how often they attended church services and which of the two major presidential candidates (George W. Bush or John Kerry) they intended to vote for in the election. The results of a similar survey are contained in the following table.

Chapter 14.4, Problem 16E, A survey to explore the relationship between voters church-attendance patterns and their choice of

  1. a Is there sufficient evidence to indicate dependence between reported frequency of church attendance and choice of presidential candidate in the 2004 presidential election? Test at the .05 level of significance. Place bounds on the attained significance level.
  2. b Give a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of individuals who report attending church at least once per week.

In a study of the effects of mood on evaluation of nutritious food, 208 subjects were randomly assigned to read either a happy story (to induce a positive mood) or a control (no story, neutral mood) group. Subjects were then asked to evaluate their attitude toward a certain food on a nine-point scale, with higher numbers indicating a more positive attitude toward the food. The following table summarizes data on the attitude rating: Group n   S Positive mood 104 4.25 2.05 Neutral mood 104 5.65 1.75   Based on the evidence could we conclude that mood changes attitudes towards food? (test hypotheses at level alpha =0.05).
A cross-sectional study is conducted to investigate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among a sample of patients seeking medical care at one of three local hospitals. A total of 500500 patients are enrolled. Based on the following data, we would like to determine if there is a significant association between the family history of CVD and the enrollment site. Enrollment Site   Family History of CVD Hospital 1 Hospital 2 Hospital 3 Total Yes 34 8 58 100 No 104 72 224 400 Total 138 80 282 500 Given: The value of the test statistic is χ2= 6.912  Use α=0.1 as the level of significance. The superintendent of Hospital 2 performed the Goodness of Fit Test to test whether 25% of the patients go to Hospital 1, 15% of the patients go to Hospital 2 and 60% of the patients go to Hospital 3.  Given: The superintendent found that the pp-value for the test is 0.25091 Let: p1=p1= be the proportion of patients at Hospital 1 p2=p2= be the proportion of patients at…
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an annual telephone survey designed to identify risk factors in the adult population and report emerging health trends. The following table displays the distribution of health status of respondents to this survey (excellent, very good, good, fair, poor) and whether or not they have health insurance.  Excellent Very good Good Fair Poor Total No health coverage 459 727 854 385 99 2524 Health coverage 4198 6245 4821 1634 578 17476 Total 4657 6972 5675 2019 667 20000 (a) Why is being in excellent health and having health coverage not mutally exclusive? Please leave a detailed answer and how you found out.  (b) If we draw one individual at random, what is the probability that the respondent has excellent health or doesn't have health coverage?  Please leave a detailed answer on how you found that answer.  (c)  What is the probability that a randomly chosen individual has excellent health given that he has health…
