TABLE 11-4
An agronomist wants to compare the crop yield of 3 varieties of chickpea seeds. She
plants 15 fields, 5 with each variety. She then measures the crop yield in bushels per
acre. Treating this as a completely randomized design, the results are presented in the
table that follows.
Referring to Table 11-4, the value of MSA is ________, while MSW is ________.
Referring to Table 14-10, the 99% confidence interval for the change
in mean insurance premiums of a person who has become 1 year
older (i.e., the slope coefficient for AGE) is -1.4061 ± ________.
TABLE 14-10
You worked as an intern at We Always Win Car Insurance Company
last summer. You notice that individual car insurance premiums
depend very much on the age of the individual and the number of
traffic tickets received by the individual. You performed a regression
analysis in EXCEL and obtained the following partial information:
TABLE 4-11
A sample of 300 adults is selected. The contingency table below shows their registration
status and their preferred source of information on current events.
Referring to Table 4-11, if an adult is selected at random, what is the probability that
he/she is a registered voter or prefers to get his/her current information from radio?
TABLE 4-10
Are whites more likely to claim bias? It was found that 60% of the workers were white,
30% were black and 10% are other races. Given that a worker was white, the
probability that the worker had claimed bias was 30%. Given that a worker was black,
the probability that the worker had claimed bias was 40%. Given that a worker was
other race, the probability that the worker had claimed bias was 0%.
Referring to Table 4-10, what is the probability that a randomly selected worker is black
and had not claimed bias?
TABLE 5-10
An accounting firm in a college town usually recruits employees from two of the
universities in town. This year, there are fifteen graduates from University A and five
from University B and the firm decides to hire six new employees from the two
universities.
Referring to Table 5-10, what is the probability that more than four of the new
employees will be from University A?
Referring to Table 14-7, the department head wants to use a t test to
test for the significance of the coefficient of X1. The p-value of the
test is ________.
TABLE 14-7
The department head of the accounting department wanted to see if
she could predict the GPA of students using the number of course
units (credits) and total SAT scores of each. She takes a sample of
students and generates the following Microsoft Excel output:
Referring to Table 14-19, what is the estimated odds ratio for a home
owner with a family income of $50,000 and a lawn size of 2,000
square feet?
TABLE 14-19
The marketing manager for a nationally franchised lawn service
company would like to study the characteristics that differentiate
home owners who do and do not have a lawn service. A random
sample of 30 home owners located in a suburban area near a large
city was selected; 11 did not have a lawn service (code 0) and 19 had
a lawn service (code 1). Additional information available concerning
these 30 home owners includes family income (Income, in thousands
of dollars) and lawn size (Lawn Size, in thousands of square feet).
The PHStat output is given below:
You were told that the amount of time lapsed between consecutive trades on the New
York Stock Exchange followed a normal distribution with a mean of 15 seconds. You
were also told that the probability that the time lapsed between two consecutive trades
to fall between 16 to 17 seconds was 13%. The probability that the time lapsed between
two consecutive trades would fall below 13 seconds was 7%. What is the probability
that the time lapsed between two consecutive trades will be between 13 and 14
seconds?
