An insurance company selected samples of clients under 18 years of age and over 18 and recorded the number of accidents they had in the previous year. The results are shown below.
Under Age 18
Over Age 18
n1 = 500
n2 = 600
Number of accidents = 180
Number of accidents = 150
We are interested in determining if the accident proportions differ between the two age groups.
In a study conducted to examine the quality of fish after 7 days in ice storage, ten raw fish of the same kind and approximately the same size were caught and prepared for ice storage. The fish were placed in ice storage at different times after being caught. A measure of fish quality was given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage. The sample data are shown below, where "Time" is the number of hours after being caught that the fish was placed in ice storage and "Fish Quality" is the measure given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage (higher numbers mean better quality). Which variable would be considered the response variable?
Fish Time: 0 0 2 3 5 6 7 9 11 12
Fish Quality 8.5 8.4 8.0 8.1 7.8 7.6 7.3 7.0 6.8 6.7
Choose the correct answer below.
A.Fish Quality
B.Time
C.Neither variable could be considered a response variable.
Which of the following designs refers to a study in which the units of analysis are populations or groups of people rather than individuals (select one best answer)?
