1) No. Those who respond to this question are unlikely to be representative of the general population for two reasons. First, listeners to the show are unlikely to be representative of the general population, as they are likely to share the views of the radio show host, and may not represent a wide spectrum of views. Second, those listeners who respond voluntarily to the question are likely to be those who feel the most strongly about the issue. Their views are unlikely to be representative of all listeners to the show let alone of the general population. 2) The population is the total set of subjects in which we are interested. A sample is the subset of the population for whom we have data. 3) No, it would not be surprising to find that only 15% of students smoked in a sample of size 20. When the sample size is small, there is a lot of variability in the sample proportions and a sample proportion can easily lie far from the population proportion. In this case, it would not be reasonable to assume that there had been a decrease in the proportion of students smoking regularly. Yes, it would be surprising to find that only 15% of students smoked in a sample of size 200. When the sample size is large, the sample proportions tend to lie closer to the population proportion. If the proportion of students smoking regularly were still 25%, it would be surprising to find that only 15% of students smoked in a sample of size 200.

We can see the downward trend in overall enrollment, the slight upward trend in female enrollment and that female enrollment is small relative to total enrollment. However, with both total enrollment and female enrollment on the same graph, since female enrollment is small relative to total enrollment, the scale is not suitable for female enrollment and the upward trend in female enrollment is not very clear. Since both total enrollment and female enrollment are varying with time, the second graph which shows female enrollment as a percentage of total enrollment may be more useful. It is clear from this graph that as a percentage of total enrollment, female enrollment is increasing significantly. However, this graph gives no indication of the absolute number of students (overall or female) and without reference to the first graph, we cannot know whether the percentage female enrollment is increasing because female enrollment is increasing, because male enrollment is decreasing, or both.

However, when income groups are combined the percentage with high blood pressure is higher for non -workaholics. Answers may vary. Possible explanation: When the income groups are combined, workaholism becomes confounded with income level. Many of the workaholics are in the high-income group and high incomes bring greater access to other options which tend to lower blood pressure, such as health care, a healthy diet, gym membership, retreats, massage, etc. The large number of high-income people among the workaholics reduces the percentage with high blood pressure in the workaholic group. 8) a.

SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. Provide an appropriate response. 1) A researcher is investigating the association between blood pressure and ʺworkaholismʺ in a certain population. She classifies someone who works more than 60 hours per week as a workaholic. She records the income level and blood pressure (high or normal) for each participant and whether or not they can be classified as a ʺworkaholic.ʺ The data are summarized in the table below.

Workaholic Yes No

Low HBP NBP 25 75 25 80

Income Group Middle HBP NBP 23 87 18 72

High HBP NBP 26 134 9 51

Consider each income group separately and find the proportion with high blood pressure among the workaholics and the proportion with high blood pressure among the non-workaholics. Then determine the proportion of workaholics overall who have high blood pressure and the proportion of non-workaholics overall who have high blood pressure (ignoring information about income group). Explain how these data satisfy Simpsonʹs paradox. How would you explain what is responsible for this result? 2) A recent survey polled a sample of male Mexican-American adolescents to determine if there is an association between smoking and unhealthy behaviors. Below is the data. Each boy, age 10-18, was classified according to smoking status and his response to a question asking whether he liked to do risky things.

SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. Identify the flaw(s) in the experiment or study described. 21) At one hospital, 674 women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Five years later, 88% of the Caucasian women and 83% of the African American women were still alive. A researcher concludes that being Caucasian causes women with breast cancer to have an increased chance of surviving five years. Why is this conclusion not justified? 22) A pharmaceutical company has developed a medication that they believe will help to reduce the pain of arthritis. They would like to test the medication at two different dosage levels. They design an experiment as follows to test the medication. They will obtain a group of volunteers who suffer from arthritis. A doctor from the pharmaceutical company will evaluate each patientʹs condition at the start of the experiment. Volunteers will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. Each day for the duration of the experiment, patients in group 1 will receive a low dose of the medication, patients in group 2 will receive a higher dose of the medication, and patients in group 3 will receive a placebo. After a suitable amount of time (two months, for example), the same doctor will evaluate each patientʹs progress. Based on the amount of inflammation and the patientʹs report on the amount of pain, the doctor will give each patient a numerical score to represent their improvement. The amount of improvement for the three groups would then be compared. They will also ensure that the technicians administering the supplements are unaware of which patients receive a low dose, a high dose, or a placebo. Identify the flaw(s) in this experiment.

For example, Caucasian women may be more affluent and able to afford better health care or better nutrition. They may have a less stressful lifestyle, or maybe they donʹt have to work as much. They may live in more affluent areas where there is less pollution and less noise. 22) The doctor evaluating the patientsʹ progress is still aware of which treatment patients received. The doctor may be biased and influenced by his or her knowledge of whether the patient received the medication or a placebo. This is especially important because the doctor works for the pharmaceutical company and has a vested interest in finding that the medication is effective. 23) D 24) B 25) E

[se(x1 )]2 + [se(x2 )]2 , se(x1 - x2 ) > se(x1 ). To see this, square each side of the inequality

[se(x1 )]2 + [se(x2 )]2 > se(x1 ) to get [se(x1 )]2 + [se(x2 )]2 > [se(x1 )]2 . Subtract [se(x1 )]2 from each side of the inequality [se(x1 )]2 + [se(x2 )]2 > [se(x1 )]2 to get [se(x2 )]2 > 0. Take the square root of each side of the inequality [se(x2 )]2 > 0 to get se(x2 ) > 0. Since x2 is a random variable which varies from sample to sample or since x2 is not a constant, se(x2 ) must be greater than 0. Therefore, se(x1 - x2 ) > se(x1 ).

1) a. We need 4 indicator variables to indicate the two genders, the two races, and the three types of jobs. The first indicator variable is x1 = 1 for female = 0 otherwise. The second indicator variable is x2 = 1 for black = 0 otherwise. The third indicator variable is x3 = 1 for white-collar = 0 otherwise. The fourth indicator variable is x4 = 1 for service = 0 otherwise. With these indicator variables, the multiple regression equation for the mean income is μy = α + β 1 x1 + β 2 x2 + β 3 x3 + β 4 x4 . α is the mean for male, white, blue collar workers; β 1 is added to the mean if the worker is female; β 2 is added to the mean if the worker is black; β 3 is added to the mean if the worker is white-collar and β 4 is added to the mean if the worker is a service worker. 2) E 3) A 4) C 5) B 6) E 7) B 8) E 9) D 10) No. Once the second factor is no longer controlled, the effect of the first factor on the response variable could change because the residual variation could change. 11) C 12) B 13) A 14) Since the ANOVA F test is robust to moderate breakdowns in the population normality and equal standard deviation assumptions, in practice it is used unless (i) graphical methods show extreme skew for the response variable or (ii) the largest group standard deviation is more than about double the smallest group standard deviation and the sample sizes are unequal. 15) C 16) B 17) C 18) A 19) C 20) D 21) C 22) A 23) B 24) E 25) C

MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. State the null hypothesis to test for independence. 1) An industrial psychologist is investigating the effects of work environment on employee attitudes. A group of 20 recently hired sales trainees were randomly assigned to one of four different ʺhome roomsʺ - five trainees per room. Each room is identical except for wall color. The four colors used were light green, light blue, gray and red. The psychologist wants to know whether room color has an effect on attitude, and, if so, wants to compare the mean attitudes of the trainees assigned to the four room colors. At the end of the training program, the attitude of each trainee was measured on a 60-pt. scale (the lower the score, the poorer the attitude). The data was subjected to a one -way analysis of variance.

The box plots above do not show any substantial skew, but there is an extreme outlier for the H #2 group. One patient in that group had a very long stay, 238 days. The Wilcoxon test is not affected by an outlier; b. Rank 1 goes to the shortest stay, so the value 5 gets rank 1. The second shortest stay is 8, which gets rank 2. The longest stay is 238, which gets rank 24. The next longest stay is 125, which gets rank 23; c. The P -value shows strong evidence against the null hypothesis that the distribution of stay times is identical for the two hospitals. The stay times tend to be longer for patients staying at hospital #2. 15) C 16) E 17) Wilcoxon 18) E 19) a. 1) Assumptions: Random sample of matched pairs for which the differences of observations have a symmetric population distribution and can be ranked; 2) H0 : Population median of difference scores is 0 and Ha : Population median of difference scores is greater than 0; 3) test statistic = 30; 4) P-value = 0.054; 5) Since the P-value > 0.05, there is not sufficient evidence that the bonus plan had significantly increased sales on average; b. No, the parametric test rejects the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative which states that the number of computer units sold per week increased after the bonus plan was introduced. The nonparametric test did not find sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis of no difference. Assuming the assumption of normality is not met, the non parametric test is more reliable. 20) B 21) If H0 : identical population distributions for the three groups were true, the Kruskal Wallis test statistic would have an approximate chi-squared distribution with df = 2. The test statistic is H = 5.13. The P-value, the right-tail probability above 5.13, is 0.077. At a usual 0.05 level of significance, it is plausible that GPA is independent of sport. The sample median GPAs are not very different. 22) D 23) A 24) C 25) A

a. Suppose the assumption of normality for the differences was not valid and conduct a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. b. Does the test in part (a) agree with the paired t-test? If not, which result is more reliable? MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. 22) Students in Statistics 102 were asked to report their final exam score (a 200 -point exam) in Statistics 101. These were then paired with the scores on record. The higher of the two scores is listed in the tables below (ʺRepʺ for reported and ʺRecʺ for recorded). At α = 0.05, determine the test statistic to support the claim that there is a difference between reported scores and recorded scores. Define p to be the population proportion who reported a larger score than was recorded. 9 10 11 12 Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Rep Rec Rep Rec Rep Rec Rec Rec Rep Rep Rep Same A) 3 B) 8 C) 0 D) -1.732

The test statistic is H = 5.13. The P-value, the right-tail probability above 5.13, is 0.077. At a usual 0.05 level of significance, it is plausible that GPA is independent of sport. The sample median GPAs are not very different. 16) C 17) C 18) B 19) a. The box plots above do not show any substantial skew, but there is an extreme outlier for the H #2 group. One patient in that group had a very long stay, 238 days. The Wilcoxon test is not affected by an outlier; b. Rank 1 goes to the shortest stay, so the value 5 gets rank 1. The second shortest stay is 8, which gets rank 2. The longest stay is 238, which gets rank 24. The next longest stay is 125, which gets rank 23; c. The P -value shows strong evidence against the null hypothesis that the distribution of stay times is identical for the two hospitals. The stay times tend to be longer for patients staying at hospital #2. 20) D 21) a. 1) Assumptions: Random sample of matched pairs for which the differences of observations have a symmetric population distribution and can be ranked; 2) H0 : Population median of difference scores is 0 and Ha : Population median of difference scores is greater than 0; 3) test statistic = 30; 4) P-value = 0.054; 5) Since the P-value > 0.05, there is not sufficient evidence that the bonus plan had significantly increased sales on average; b. No, the parametric test rejects the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative which states that the number of computer units sold per week increased after the bonus plan was introduced. The nonparametric test did not find sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis of no difference. Assuming the assumption of normality is not met, the non parametric test is more reliable. 22) E 23) A 24) A 25) Wilcoxon
