Chapter 2, Problem 37CE
A chain of sport shops catering to beginning skiers, headquartered in Aspen, Colorado, plans to conduct a study of how much a beginning skier spends on his or her initial purchase of equipment and supplies. Based on these figures, it wants to explore the possibility of offering combinations, such as a pair of boots and a pair of skis, to induce customers to buy more. A sample of 44 cash register receipts revealed these initial purchases:
- a. Arrive at a suggested class interval.
- b. Organize the data into a frequency distribution using a lower limit of $70.
- c. Interpret your findings.

Based on market sales figures, approximately 7.9% of car owners in California own an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle (EV). A marketing director at a local car dealership
would like to know if their sales of EV's is any greater than what the state's sales proportions are. To examine this, they look over the last 500 sales (which they consider to be
a representative sample of all car sales) and determine that 10.4% of those were EV sales. Is this statistically significant evidence that the dealership sells a higher proportion
of EV's than the overall state's proportion?
Which of the following are the correct null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test used to determine significance?

- According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a different proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 5% level. a.

The company hopes to use the information to develop a proposal to encourage more employees to forgo their automobiles as a part of their commute. A pilot study of 50 randomly sampled employees found that 22 commute to work by means other than an automobile. Complete parts a and b below. a. How many more employees must the company randomly sample to be able to estimate the true population of employees who commute to work by means other than an automobile with a margin of error of 0.04 and a level of confidence of 95%?

- In the United States, 50% of workers classified as “private industry workers,” those working for non-government businesses, earn an hourly wage of $22.27 or more (SOURCE: National Compensation Survey: Occupational Earnings in the United States, 2010, Bulletin 2753, http://www.stats.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/). Suppose a particular family has a history of working for the government. The family has two parents and four adult-age kids. a. What is the probability that both parents and half of the kids are in the higher earning bracket of government workers? b. What is the probability that only one parent and one child fall into the higher earning bracket of government workers? c. Why is it not possible to group the entire family together as a unit of six individuals and “select two” to calculate the answer to Part b)? Calculate the answer to verify that you do not obtain the same probability by finding it this way.arrow_forwardA school psychologist wants to test the effectiveness of a new method of teaching art.
