Chapter 12: Q.AP4.9 - Cumulative AP Practise Test (page 828)

A random sample of 900students at a very large university was asked which social networking site they used most often during a typical week. Their responses are shown Page Number: 828in the table

Assuming that gender and preferred networking site are independent, how many females do you expect to choose LinkedIn?

a.87.00

b.90.00

e.103.35

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

Given in the question that, A random sample of 900students at a very large university was asked which social networking site they used most often during a typical week. Their responses are shown Page Number: 828in the table.


We need to find that the number of females expect to choose LinkedIn if gender and preferred networking site are independent .

02

Explanation

Gender and favourite social networking site are thought to be unrelated. In the inquiry, the gender replies to social networking sites are listed in a table. The total number of rows in "Linkedln" is195, and the total number of columns in "Female" is 477, whereas the total number of rows in the table is 900.When the gender and favourite networking site are independent, the expected frequencies are the product of the column and row totals divided by the table total.

E=r×cn

=195×477900

=93015900

=103.35

The correct option is (e)

The school board in a certain school district obtained a random sample of 200residents and asked if they were in favor of raising property taxes to fund the hiring of more statistics teachers. The resulting confidence interval for the true proportion of residents in favor of raising taxes was (0.183,0.257). Which of the following is the margin of error for this confidence interval?

a. 0.037

b. 0.074

c. 0.183

d. 0.220

e.0.257

When Mentos are dropped into a newly opened bottle of Diet Coke, carbon dioxide is released from the Diet Coke very rapidly, causing the Diet Coke to be expelled from the bottle. To see if using more Mentos causes more Diet Coke to be expelled, Brittany and Allie used twenty-four 2-cup bottles of Diet Coke and randomly assigned each bottle to receive either 2,3,4,or5Mentos. After waiting for the fizzing to stop, they measured the amount expelled (in cups) by subtracting the amount remaining from the original amount in the bottle. Here are their data:

Here is the computer output from a least-squares regression analysis of these data. Construct and interpret a 95%confidence interval for the slope of the true regression line.

Exercises T12.4–T12.8 refer to the following setting. An old saying in golf is “You drive for show and you putt for dough.” The point is that good putting is more important than long driving for shooting low scores and hence winning money. To see if this is the case, data from a random sample of 69 of the nearly 1000 players on the PGA Tour’s world money list are examined. The average number of putts per hole (fewer is better) and the player’s total winnings for the previous season are recorded and a least-squares regression line was fitted to the data. Assume the conditions for
inference about the slope are met. Here is computer output from the regression analysis:

T12.4 By about how much does the sample slope typically vary from the population slope in repeated random samples of n=69 golfers?
a. 7,897,179
b. 1,698,371
c. 3,023,782
d. 281,777
e. −4,139,198

Brawn versus brain How is the weight of an animal’s brain related to the weight of its body? Researchers collected data on the brain weight (in grams) and body weight (in Page Number: 813 Page Number: 814 kilograms) for 96species of mammals. The following figure is a scatterplot of the logarithm of brain weight against the logarithm of body weight for all 96species. The least-squares regression line for the transformed data is

logy=1.01+0.72logxlogy^=1.01+0.72logx

Based on footprints and some other sketchy evidence, some people believe that a large ape-like animal, called Sasquatch or Bigfoot, lives in the Pacific Northwest. Bigfoot’s weight is estimated to be about 127kilograms (kg). How big do you expect Bigfoot’s brain to be?

Beer and BAC Refer to Exercise 5. Here is computer output from the least-squares regression analysis of the beer and blood alcohol data.

a. What is the estimate for β0? Interpret this value.

b. What is the estimate for β1? Interpret this value.

c. What is the estimate for σ? Interpret this value.

d. Give the standard error of the slope SEb1. Interpret this value.
