- Each year, marketing and information firm J.D. Power and Associates surveys new car owners 90 days after they have purchased their cars. The data collected are used to rate auto brands (Toyota, Ford, and others) on initial quality and initial customer satisfaction. USA Today reported both the number of manufacturing defects per 100 vehicles and a satisfaction score for all 33 brands sold in the United States.† A research group decides to compare the mean number of defects for 2 specific models of cars, A and B, made this year by taking random samples of 100 cars of each model. (a) After collecting the data, the research group calculates a 95% confidence interval to estimate the difference in population means. In this case, what is the population? all cars for models A and B that were produced this yearthe defects all cars made this yearthe 100 cars from each model (b) Suppose the calculated confidence interval is (84, 92) number of defects.

Calculate χ 2 (chi-squared) to compare the proportion of millennials engaging in positive social media to the proportion of baby boomers.arrow_forwardA sociologist claims that the success of students in college (measured by their GPA) isrelated to their family’s income.

Some on the committee speculated a four-year student would likely be attending full time, whereas one taking more than four years could have a part-time job. However, average total debt provides only part of the information. Since the average, or mean, is affected by both large and small values, the committee also needed some way to determine the relative variances for the two groups. Samples of size 20 produced standard deviations of 2,636 for four-year graduates and 1,513 for those taking more than four years. Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine if the standard deviation of the debt for four-year graduates is larger than those taking more than four years. Use a significance level of 0.05.arrow_forward
