- Refer to the data presented in Exercise 2.86. Note that there were 50% more accidents in the 25 to less than 30 age group than in the 20 to less than 25 age group. Does this suggest that the older group of drivers in this city is more accident- prone than the younger group? What other explanation might account for the difference in accident rates?arrow_forwardIn a previous practice assignment, you learned about a study in which volunteers (who were all around 30 years of age) from the Chicago area wore light sensors to measure their exposure to sunshine. It was found that those who experienced more daylight had lower body mass indexes (BMIs). The study was observational. It was not an experiment, so conclusions about cause and effect could not be made. Let's redesign the observational study described above into an experimental study.arrow_forwardA clinical psychologist is interested in the relationship between testosterone level in married males and the quality of their marital relationship. A study is conducted in which the testosterone levels of eight married men are measured. The eight men also fill out a standardized questionnaire assessing quality of marital relationship. The questionnaire scale is 0–25, with higher numbers indicating better relationships. Testosterone scores are in nanomoles/liter of serum. The data are shown below.

Her random sample of 15 dinosaur total heights (in feet) and leg lengths (in feet) produced the results shown in the following TI calculator screen. Use the TI calculations in the screen shot to help you answer questions: 10 & 11. LinReg y=a+bx a=28.67845743 b=5.639892354 r=559696513 r=.7481286741 10.

- You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. An automobile dealer conducted a test to determine if the time in minutes needed to complete a minor engine tune-up depends on whether a computerized engine analyzer or an electronic analyzer is used. Because tune-up time varies among compact, intermediate, and full-sized cars, the three types of cars were us blocks in the experiment. The data obtained follow.

Jimmy, a junior researcher in the team, has randomly selected a sample of 25 male runners from a high school and the time (in seconds) for each of them to complete a 400-meter race was recorded. The sample mean running time was 53 seconds. It is assumed that the running time in a 400-meter race follows a normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 5.5 seconds.(a) Give a point estimate of the population mean running time for a 400-meter race.(b) Calculate the sampling error at 95% confidence level.(c) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean running time for a 400-meter race.(d) If instead of 25, 80 male runners are selected for the study, what is the sampling error at 95% confidence level? When the 95% confidence interval is constructed based on a sample with 80 male runners, would you…arrow_forwardHelp me answer the following question in the pictures with the information below: Women athletes at a certain university have a long-term graduation rate of 67%. Over the past several years, a random sample of 36 women athletes at the school showed that 21 eventually graduated.

Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died.
