Chapter 18.4, Problem 29E
Condé Nast Traveler magazine conducts an annual survey of its readers in order to rate the top 80 cruise ships in the world (Condé Nast Traveler, February 2008). With 100 the highest possible rating, the overall ratings for a sample of ships from the Holland America, Princess, and Royal Caribbean cruise lines are shown. Use the Kruskal-Wallis test with α = .05 to determine whether the overall ratings among the three cruise lines differ significantly. What is your conclusion?

31% of all pygmy softshell tortoises have stripes on their shells. A herpetologist in Cititon collects a sample of 28 pygmy softshell tortoises and finds that 8 of them have stripes on their shells. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at a significance of alpha = 0.05, that the proportion of pygmy softshell tortoises in Cititon with stripes on their shells is less than 31%? What is the claim? What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? What is the test statistic? What is/are the critical value(s)? Do we reject the null hypothesis? What conclusion do we draw? What is the P-value for the problem above?

They asked people to compare a cracker with their low fat spread on it and another cracker with the nationally known brand of the same type of spread. At one supermarket, everyone who came to the testing table, located just inside by the front door, and asked to participate was included. At a second market, only people who appeared to be older teenagers and adults were allowed to participate. The testing table was in the section of the store where paper goods are sold. At the third store, the testing table was in the dairy section and everyone who was asked to participate was included. However, they ran out of one of the products and had to stop the test three hours earlier than they planned. The table below shows how many people were tested at each location and their stated preferences Store A Store B Store C Number tasters = 258Number preferring local brand…arrow_forward
