Correct Answers
- (#13 on form B) 0, 0, n-1,1
- (#14) b
- (#1) p=(100(.53)+150(.48))/250=0.5
- (#2)
- 3
- pi=proportion of all kids in school who are left handed
- H_0: pi=.2
- H_a: pi not =.2
- .826
- .409
- No, not enough evidence to conclude proportion of school being
left handed different from 0.2
- (#4)
- 2
- sigma_1^2/sigma_2^2=ratio of male to female variances
- H_0: sigma_1^2/sigma_2^2 greater or equal to 1
- H_a: sigma_1^2/sigma_2^2 < 1
- .727
- .181
- No, cannot reasonably conclude female IQ's more variable
- (#5)
- 4
- mu_d=mean of differences in times after and before drug
- H_0: mu_d greater or equal 0
- H_a: mu_d < 0
- -3.333
- .001
- Yes, drug decreases time through maze on average
- (#3)
- 1
- pi_1-pi_2=difference of proportions of men and women favoring Clinton
- H_0: pi_1-pi_2 greater or equal to 0
- H_a: pi_1-pi_2 < 0
- -1.414
- .079
- No, not enough evidence to say there's a gender gap
- (#6) Saying there's a gender gap when there isn't
- (#7) If male and female IQ's have the same population variances,
then the chance of observing sample variances this much different
(200 versus 275) or more
is 0.181, which is not unusual.
- (#11) a) is A and C, b) is C and B, c) is C
- (#8) F_{.40,10,10} is bigger
- (#9) 0.5
- (#10) b, d (Not (a) because a type I error would be to say that
there's not much variability when there is which could lead to using
defective O-rings which could cause shuttle to explode, not (c) because we
use chi-square test)
- (#12) b, c (Not (a) because the point of the procedure is
to analyze the sources of variability, not (d) because there is
no one sided test in ANOVA)
- (#15) Any 2 of b, d, e (Not (a) because rejecting at 0.05 means
p-value < 0.05 which is not necessarily < 0.01, not (c) because
the probability of a Type I error is alpha no matter what the sample
size is)
- (#16) Statistical theory tells us that if we obtained many random samples
like the one we have and calculated the 95% CI for each one, then 95% of
the CI's would have the true value of the parameter in them. Thus we're 95%
confident that the particular random sample we have has resulted in a CI
that contains the true
value of the parameter.
