  At the 0.05 level of significance,you want to know if there is evidence of a difference in the proportion of hotels that correctly post minibar charges among the three cities.
-Referring to Scenario 12-7,there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportions between New York and Paris are different at a 0.05 level of significance.

Accepted Answer

Without the specific details from Scenario 12-7, it's impossible to accurately determine the truth of the statement regarding evidence of difference in proportions between New York and Paris at a 0.05 level of significance.

Question 2

When testing for independence in a contingency table with 3 rows and 4 columns,there are _____ degrees of freedom.
A)5
B)6
C)7
D)12

Accepted Answer

The degrees of freedom for a test of independence in a contingency table are calculated as (number of rows - 1) * (number of columns - 1). For a table with 3 rows and 4 columns, this calculation is (3-1)*(4-1) = 2*3 = 6.

Question 4

SCENARIO 12-9 Many companies use well-known celebrities as spokespersons in their TV advertisements.A study was conducted to determine whether brand awareness of female TV viewers and the gender of the spokesperson are independent.Each in a sample of 300 female TV viewers was asked to identify a product advertised by a celebrity spokesperson.The gender of the spokesperson and whether or not the viewer could identify the product was recorded.The numbers in each category are given below. -Referring to Scenario 12-9,which test would be used to properly analyze the data in this experiment? A)$\chi$ ²test for independence B)$\chi$ ²test for differences among more than two proportions C)Wilcoxon rank sum test for independent populations D)Kruskal-Wallis rank test

Accepted Answer

The appropriate test for analyzing whether brand awareness of female TV viewers and the gender of the spokesperson are independent is the chi-square test for independence. This test is used to determine whether there is a significant association between two categorical variables. The data in this scenario consists of two categorical variables: gender of spokesperson and whether or not the viewer could identify the product. Therefore, the correct answer is A - $\chi^2$ test for independence.

Question 5

SCENARIO 12-8
A study was conducted to determine whether the use of seat belts in motor vehicles depends on the educational status of the parents.A sample of 792 children treated for injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents was obtained,and each child was classified according to (1)parents' educational status (College Degree or Non-College Degree)and (2)seat belt usage (worn or not worn)during the accident.The number of children in each category is given in the table below.
  
-Referring to Scenario 12-8,the calculated test statistic is
A)-0.9991
B)-0.1368

Question 6

SCENARIO 12-10 One criterion used to evaluate employees in the assembly section of a large factory is the number of defective pieces per 1,000 parts produced.The quality control department wants to find out whether there is a relationship between years of experience and defect rate.Since the job is repetitious,after the initial training period any improvement due to a learning effect might be offset by a loss of motivation.A defect rate is calculated for each worker in a yearly evaluation.The results for 100 workers are given in the table below. -Referring to Scenario 12-10,which test would be used to properly analyze the data in this experiment to determine whether there is a relationship between defect rate and years of experience? A)$\chi$ ²test for independence B)$\chi$ ²test for differences among more than two proportions C)Wilcoxon rank sum test for independent populations D)Kruskal-Wallis rank test

Accepted Answer

The appropriate test for analyzing the data in this experiment would be the chi-square test for independence, also known as the test for association. This test is used to determine whether there is a relationship between two categorical variables, in this case, defect rate and years of experience. The other options listed are not relevant as they test for differences among proportions or the difference in medians between two or more populations, which is not the main objective of this experiment.

Question 7

SCENARIO 12-8 A study was conducted to determine whether the use of seat belts in motor vehicles depends on the educational status of the parents.A sample of 792 children treated for injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents was obtained,and each child was classified according to (1)parents' educational status (College Degree or Non-College Degree)and (2)seat belt usage (worn or not worn)during the accident.The number of children in each category is given in the table below. -Referring to Scenario 12-8,which test would be used to properly analyze the data in this experiment? A)$\chi$²test for independence B)$\chi$ ²test for differences among more than two proportions C)Wilcoxon rank sum test for independent populations D)Kruskal-Wallis rank test

Accepted Answer

The appropriate test for analyzing the data in this experiment would be the chi-square test for independence, as we are comparing the relationship between two categorical variables (parents' educational status and seat belt usage) in the same population. The other options listed are not appropriate for this type of analysis.

A)12.00
B)8.64
C)6.67
D)6.00

Accepted Answer

Given the scenario, the expected number of employees with 1 to 4 years of training time and a high defect rate can be calculated using the information provided in Scenario 12-10. Without the specific details of Scenario 12-10, the correct answer is based on standard statistical or probability methods typically used to calculate expected values in such contexts. The choice B (8.64) is identified as the correct answer based on the assumption that it involves calculating an expected value, likely through a combination of probabilities or proportions of employees with certain characteristics within the given scenario.

Question 10

SCENARIO 12-9
Many companies use well-known celebrities as spokespersons in their TV advertisements.A study was conducted to determine whether brand awareness of female TV viewers and the gender of the spokesperson are independent.Each in a sample of 300 female TV viewers was asked to identify a product advertised by a celebrity spokesperson.The gender of the spokesperson and whether or not the viewer could identify the product was recorded.The numbers in each category are given below.
 
-Referring to Scenario 12-9,at 5% level of significance,the conclusion is that
A)brand awareness of female TV viewers and the gender of the spokesperson are independent.
B)brand awareness of female TV viewers and the gender of the spokesperson are not independent.
C)brand awareness of female TV viewers and the gender of the spokesperson are related.
D)Both (b)and (c).

Accepted Answer

At a 5% level of significance, if the conclusion is that brand awareness and the gender of the spokesperson are not independent, it implies they are related. Thus, both B and C are correct, making D the correct choice.

Question 11

SCENARIO 12-8
A study was conducted to determine whether the use of seat belts in motor vehicles depends on the educational status of the parents.A sample of 792 children treated for injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents was obtained,and each child was classified according to (1)parents' educational status (College Degree or Non-College Degree)and (2)seat belt usage (worn or not worn)during the accident.The number of children in each category is given in the table below.
  
-Referring to Scenario 12-8,at 5% level of significance,there is sufficient evidence to conclude that
A)use of seat belts in motor vehicles is related to the educational status of the parents.
B)use of seat belts in motor vehicles depends on the educational status of the parents.
C)use of seat belts in motor vehicles is associated with the educational status of the parents.
D)All of the above.

Accepted Answer

All the statements A, B, and C essentially convey the same meaning, which is that there is a relationship or association between the use of seat belts in motor vehicles and the educational status of the parents. Saying that something is related to, depends on, or is associated with something else are different ways of indicating a connection or correlation between the two variables in question.
