A study of malaria transmission in Africa tested whether drinking beer increased attractiveness to mosquitoes. Yes, this is a real story (Lefevre et al. 2010. PLOS One5:e9546), and for simplicity I have changed some details from what they actually did. The researchers opened a container of 50 mosquitoes and looked at what proportion of the 50 mosquitoes left the container and flew towards the volunteer person. They did this experiment with 30 persons and each person was tested twice, once before they drank anything and then (an hour later) after they had consumed a beer. Assuming that the proportions of mosquitoes are normally distributed and the variances are similar, what would be the best test to see if more mosquitoes are attracted to people after drinking a beer

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The best test to see if more mosquitoes are attracted to people after drinking beer is the z-test for the difference in proportion of two populations

Step-by-step explanation:

The study tested if drinking bear increases the attractiveness to mosquitoes

The number of people the taking part in the study, n = 30 people

The total number of mosquitoes in the study = 50 mosquitoes

The proportion of mosquitoes flying to each volunteer is measured before and one hour after consuming bear

The mean number of mosquito flying towards a volunteer can be found by summing the other proportions that fly towards the 30 volunteers and dividing by n₁ = 30, before and n₂ = 30 after the respondents had bear to obtain [tex]\hat{p}_{1}[/tex] and [tex]\hat{p}_{2}[/tex]

Given that the variances are equal and the sum of the sample for the two tests, n₁ + n₂ = 60 > 30, it is, best to use the the z-test for the difference in proportion as follows;

[tex]Z=\dfrac{\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2}{\sqrt{\hat{p} \cdot (1-\hat{p}) \cdot \left (\dfrac{1}{n_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{n_{2}} \right )}}[/tex]

Where the pooled mean, [tex]\hat p[/tex], is given as follows;

[tex]\hat p = \dfrac{n_1 \cdot \hat p_1 + n_2 \cdot \hat p_2}{n_1 + n_2}[/tex]

At the produce store you can buy 4 bags of bananas for $22.52. How much would it cost if you were to buy 2 bags? Explain

Answers

Answer:

11.26

Step-by-step explanation: The easy way to . complete this is to get the 22.52 split it in half to get your answer. Because they asked for the price of 2 and 2 is half of 4.

since 4 bags of bananas costs $22.52, you would just divide by 2 to find out how much 2 bags of bananas costs.

22.52/2=$11.26

It costs $11.26 for 2 bags of bananas.

6) Supplementary Exercise 5.51

A consumer advocate claims that 80 percent of cable television subscribers are not satisfied with their cable service. In an attempt to justify this claim, a randomly selected sample of cable subscribers will be polled on this issue.

(a)

Suppose that the advocate's claim is true, and suppose that a random sample of five cable subscribers is selected. Assuming independence, use an appropriate formula to compute the probability that four or more subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer of p to 1 decimal place. Round other final answers to 4 decimal places.)

The answer for 6(a) is P( Xâ¥4) = P ( x = 4) + P (x = 5) = 5/4 * 0.84 * 0.21 + 5/5 * 0.85 * 0.20 = 0.737

(b)

Suppose that the advocate's claim is true, and suppose that a random sample of 25 cable subscribers is selected. Assuming independence, find each of the following: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer of p to 1 decimal place. Round other final answers to 4 decimal places.)

1.

The probability that 15 or fewer subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)1 is P(Yâ¤15) = 1 - P( Y > 20) - X20, i = 16 P ( Y = i) = 1- 0.421 - 0.562 = 0.017

2.

The probability that more than 20 subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)2 is

3.

The probability that between 20 and 24 (inclusive) subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)3 is P(20 > Y < 24) = 1 - 0.421 - 0.1867 - 0.1358 - 0.0708 - 0.0236 = 0.1621

4.

The probability that exactly 24 subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)4 is P( Y = 24) = 0.0236

(c)

Suppose that when we survey 25 randomly selected cable television subscribers, we find that 15 are actually not satisfied with their service. Using a probability you found in this exercise as the basis for your answer, do you believe the consumer advocate's claim? Explain. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.7373[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 0.0173[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 0.4207[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.6129[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 24) = 0.0236[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 1.18\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = 80\% = 0.8[/tex]

The question illustrates binomial distribution and will be solved using:

[tex]P(X = x) = ^nC_xp^x(1 - p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Solving (a):

Given

[tex]n =5[/tex]

Required

[tex]P(X\ge 4)[/tex]

This is calculated using

[tex]P(X \le 4) = P(x = 4) +P(x=5)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(X \le 4) = ^5C_4 * (0.8)^4*(1 - 0.8)^{5-4} + ^5C_5*0.8^5*(1 - 0.8)^{5-5}[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 5 * (0.8)^4*(0.2)^1 + 1*0.8^5*(0.2)^0[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.4096 + 0.32768[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.73728[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.7373[/tex] --- approximated

Solving (b):

Given

[tex]n =25[/tex]

i)

Required

[tex]P(X\le 15)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(X\le 15) = 1 - P(x>15)[/tex] --- Complement rule

[tex]P(x>15) = P(x=16) + P(x=17) + P(x =18) + P(x = 19) + P(x = 20) + P(x = 21) + P(x = 22) + P(x = 23) + P(x = 24) + P(x = 25)[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 15) = {25}^C_{16} * p^{16}*(1-p)^{25-16} +{25}^C_{17} * p^{17}*(1-p)^{25-17} +{25}^C_{18} * p^{18}*(1-p)^{25-18} +{25}^C_{19} * p^{19}*(1-p)^{25-19} +{25}^C_{20} * p^{20}*(1-p)^{25-20} +{25}^C_{21} * p^{21}*(1-p)^{25-21} +{25}^C_{22} * p^{22}*(1-p)^{25-22} +{25}^C_{23} * p^{23}*(1-p)^{25-23} +{25}^C_{24} * p^{24}*(1-p)^{25-24} +{25}^C_{25} * p^{25}*(1-p)^{25-25}[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 15) = 0.98266813045[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(X\le 15) = 1 - P(x>15)[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 1 - 0.98266813045[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 0.01733186955[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 0.0173[/tex]

ii)

[tex]P(x>20)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(x>20) = P(x = 21) + P(x = 22) + P(x = 23) + P(x = 24) + P(x = 25)[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 12650 * 0.8^{21}*0.2^4 +2300 * 0.8^{22}*0.2^3 +300 * 0.8^{23}*0.2^2 +25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1 +1 * 0.8^{25}*0.2^0[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 0.42067430925[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 0.4207[/tex]

iii)

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24) = P(x = 20) + P(x = 21) + P(x = 22) + P(x =23) + P(x = 24)[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 53130 * 0.8^{20}*0.2^5 +12650 * 0.8^{21}*0.2^4 +2300 * 0.8^{22}*0.2^3 +300 * 0.8^{23}*0.2^2 +25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.61291151859[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.6129[/tex]

iv)

[tex]P(x = 24)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(x = 24) = 25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 24) = 0.0236[/tex]

Solving (c):

[tex]P(x = 15)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(x = 15) = {25}^C_{15} * 0.8^{15} * 0.2^{10}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 3268760 * 0.8^{15} * 0.2^{10}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 0.01177694905[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 0.0118[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]P(x = 15) = 1.18\%[/tex]

The calculated probability (1.18%) is way less than the advocate's claim.

Hence, we do not believe the claim.

uppose IQ scores for adults follow a Normal distribution with a standard deviation of 15. Previous analyses have determined that national average adult IQ score is 100. a) A random sample of 35 adults from Lower Arlington, yields an average score of 106. Is there any evidence at the .10 level to suggest that the mean IQ score for Lower Arlington residents differs from the national average

Answers

Answer:

The pvalue of the test is 0.0178 < 0.1, which means that there is evidence at the .10 level to suggest that the mean IQ score for Lower Arlington residents differs from the national average

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous analyses have determined that national average adult IQ score is 100.

This means that the null hypothesis is: [tex]H_0: \mu = 100[/tex]

Is there any evidence at the .10 level to suggest that the mean IQ score for Lower Arlington residents differs from the national average.

This means that the alternate hypothesis that will be tested is:

[tex]H_a: \mu \neq 100[/tex]

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

100 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]

Standard deviation of 15.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 15[/tex]

A random sample of 35 adults from Lower Arlington, yields an average score of 106.

This means that [tex]n = 35, X = 106[/tex]

Value of the test-statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{106 - 100}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{35}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2.37[/tex]

Pvalue of the test:

Since z is positive, and we are testing if the mean is different from a value, the pvalue of the test is 2 multiplied by 1 subtracted by the pvalue of z = 2.37.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2.37 has a pvalue of 0.9911

1 - 0.9911 = 0.0089

2*0.0089 = 0.0178

Is there any evidence at the .10 level to suggest that the mean IQ score for Lower Arlington residents differs from the national average

The pvalue of the test is 0.0178 < 0.1, which means that there is evidence at the .10 level to suggest that the mean IQ score for Lower Arlington residents differs from the national average
