If the proportion exceeds 25%, then the lab will scale back a proposed enlargement of its facilities. Suppose 200 business students were randomly sampled and 65 have PC's at home. Find the rejection region for this test using α = .01. A) Reject H0 if z < -2.33. B) Reject H0 if z = 2.33. C) Reject H0 if z > 2.33. D) Reject H0 if z > 2.575 or z < -2.575. 84) A method currently used by doctors to screen women for possible breast cancer fails to detect cancer in 15% of the women who actually have the disease. A new method has been developed that researchers hope will be able to detect cancer more accurately. A random sample of 90 women known to have breast cancer were screened using the new method. Of these, the new method failed to detect cancer in 10. Is the sample size sufficiently large in order to conduct this test of hypothesis? Explain. 14 Answer Key Testname: STATISTICS FINAL REVIEWF-06 1) C 2) population: collection of American households; sample: collection of 1544 American households surveyed; individuals: each household 3) A 4) A 5) B 6) A 7) D 8) The wording of the question is biased, as it tends to encourage negative responses. 9) C 10) Class Frequency Relative Frequency Percentage Large 345 .190 19.0 Medium 830 .456 45.6 Small 645 .354 35.4 Total 1820 1.000 100.0 11) A 12) 13) GPA 0.5-0.9 1.0-1.4 1.5-1.9 2.0-2.4 2.5-2.9 3.0-3.4 3.5-3.9 4.0-4.4 Frequency 4 2 7 9 2 10 2 4 Relative Cumulative Cumulative Frequency Frequency Relative Frequency 0.10 4 0.10 0.05 6 0.15 0.175 13 0.325 0.225 22 0.55 0.05 24 0.60 0.25 34 0.85 0.05 36 0.90 0.10 40 1 15 Answer Key Testname: STATISTICS FINAL REVIEWF-06 14) 15) In general, there is an increasing trend in the coffee consumption of adult Americans. However, beginning in 1993, there is sign of a decreasing trend. 16 Answer Key Testname: STATISTICS FINAL REVIEWF-06 16) From 1930 to 1950, there was an increasing trend in the number of collisions deaths. Subsequently, there was a decreasing trend. 17) In general, there was a decreasing trend in women's Boston marathon times. 18) C 19) D 20) mean 88, median 89, mode 90 21) C 22) B 23) B 24) C 25) lower fence = -24; upper fence = 88; outliers: none 26) lower fence = -0.13; upper fence = 0.19; outliers: 0.29 27) A 28) A 29) A 30) D 31) C 32) B 33) A 34) A 35) C 17 Answer Key Testname: STATISTICS FINAL REVIEWF-06 36) B 37) D 38) C 39) B 40) C 41) B 42) D 43) (a) x P(x) 1 0 8 1 3 8 2 3 8 3 1 8 (b) 44) A 45) B 46) C 47) Not a binomial experiment. There are more than two outcomes. 48) D 49) μ = np = 600(0.5) = 300; σ = npq = 600(0.5)(0.5) = 12.25 18 Answer Key Testname: STATISTICS FINAL REVIEWF-06 50) 51) D 52) 19 Answer Key Testname: STATISTICS FINAL REVIEWF-06 53) (a) It is not reasonable to assume that the heights are normally distributed since the histogram is skewed. (b) μ = 31, σ = 3.86 (c) Yes. The mean and standard deviation are close. 54) D 55) (a), (b) (c) The two interpretations are: (1) the proportion of test takers who scored less than 725 is 0.8413 and (2) the probability that a randomly selected test taker has a score less than 725 is 0.8413. 56) B 57) D 58) D 59) A 60) D 61) D 62) D 63) D 64) A 65) C 66) B 67) C 20 Answer Key Testname: STATISTICS FINAL REVIEWF-06 68) B 69) D 70) C 71) B 72) D 73) C 74) H0: μ = 58.9, H1 : μ ≠ 58.9 75) C 76) type I: rejecting H0: μ = 47.5 when μ = 47.5 type II: failing to reject H0: μ = 47.5 when μ ≠ 47.5 77) D 78) C 79) A 80) Since μ is in (636.9, 653.1), we do not reject H0 . 81) B 82) B 83) C 84) To determine if the sample size is large enough for the test of hypothesis to work properly, we need to calculate the interval p0 ± 3σp^ . p0 ± 3σp^ = p0 ± 3 p0 q0 n = .15 ± 3 .15(.85) = .15 ± 3(.038) ⇒ (.037, .263) 90 Since this interval does not include the values of 0 or 1, the sample size of n = 90 is large enough for the test of hypothesis to work properly. 21
