Short Answer

Children’s recall of TV ads. A study examined children’s recall and recognition of television advertisements (Journal of Advertising, Spring 2006). Two groups of children were shown a 60-second commercial for Sunkist FunFruit Rockn-Roll Shapes. One group (the A/V group) was shown the ad with both audio and video; the second group (the video only group) was shown only the video portion of the commercial. Following the viewing, the children were asked to recall 10 specific items from the ad. The number of the 10 items recalled correctly by each child is summarized in the table. The researchers theorized that “children who receive an audiovisual presentation will have the same level of mean recall of ad information as those who receive only the visual aspects of the ad.”
a. Set up the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses to test the researchers’ theory.

The null and alternative hypothesis are

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} &= 0\\{H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} \ne 0\end{aligned}\)

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step1: Given Information

The sample sizes are 20 and 20.

The means are 3.70 and 3.30.

The standard deviations are 1.98 and 2.13.

Step 2: Specifying the null hypothesis

The null hypothesis are given by

\({H_0}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} = 0\)

i.e. children who receive an audiovisual presentation will have the same level of mean recall of ad information as those who receive only the visual aspects of the ad.

Step 2: Specifying the alternative hypothesis

The alternative hypothesis are given by

\({H_a}:{\mu _1} - {\mu _2} \ne 0\)

i.e. children who receive an audiovisual presentation will have the same level of mean recall of ad information as those who receive only the visual aspects of the ad.

Sanitarium administration of malaria cases. One of the most sedate health challenges in India is malaria. Accordingly, the Indian sanitarium director's must-have—the coffers to treat the high volume of admitted malaria cases. A study published in the National Journal of Community Medicine (Vol. 1, 2010) delved into whether the malaria admission rate is more advanced in months than in others. In a sample of 192 sanitarium cases admitted in January, 32 were treated for malaria.

In an independent sample of 403 cases admitted in May (4 months latterly), 34 were treated for malaria.

a. Describe the two populations of stake in this study.

b. Give a point estimate of the contrast in the malaria admission rates in January and May.

c. Find a 90% confidence interval for the contrast in the malaria admission rates in January and May.

d. Based on the interval, part c, can you conclude that contrast exists in the authentic malaria admission rates in January and May? Simplify.

Question: Forecasting daily admission of a water park. To determine whether extra personnel are needed for the day, the owners of a water adventure park would like to find a model that would allow them to predict the day’s attendance each morning before opening based on the day of the week and weather conditions. The model is of the form

where,

y = Daily admission

x₁ = 1 if weekend

0 otherwise

X₂ = 1 if sunny

0 if overcast

X₃ = predicted daily high temperature (°F)

These data were recorded for a random sample of 30 days, and a regression model was fitted to the data.

The least squares analysis produced the following results:

with

Interpret the estimated model coefficients.
Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that this model is useful for predicting daily attendance? Use α = .05.
Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean attendance increases on weekends? Use α = .10.
Use the model to predict the attendance on a sunny weekday with a predicted high temperature of 95°F.
Suppose the 90% prediction interval for part d is (645, 1,245). Interpret this interval.

Vulnerability of counting party Web spots. When you subscribe to your Facebook account, you're granted access to further. Then 1 million counting parties (RP) Web spots. Vulnerabilities in this sign-on system may permit a bushwhacker to gain unauthorized access to your profile, allowing the bushwhacker to impersonate you on the RP Web point. Computer and systems Masterminds delved into the vulnerability of counting party Web spots and presented their results at the Proceedings of the 5th AMC Factory on Computers & Communication Security (October 2012). RP Web spots were distributed as Garçon- inflow or customer- inflow Web spots. Of the 40 garçon- inflow spots studied, 20 were planted to be vulnerable to impersonation attacks. Of the 54 customer-inflow spots examined, 41 were. Plant to be vulnerable to impersonation attacks. Give your opinion on whether a customer- inflow Web point is more likely to be vulnerable to an impersonation attack than a garçon- inflow Website. However, how much more likely? If so.

Product failure behavior. An article in Hotwire (December 2002) discussed the length of time till the failure of a product produced at Hewlett Packard. At the end of the product’s lifetime, the time till failure is modeled using an exponential distribution with a mean of 500 thousand hours. In reliability jargon, this is known as the “wear-out” distribution for the product. During its normal (useful) life, assume the product’s time till failure is uniformly distributed over the range of 100 thousand to 1 million hours.

a. At the end of the product’s lifetime, find the probability that the product fails before 700 thousand hours.

b. During its normal (useful) life, find the probability that the product fails before 700 thousand hours.

c. Show that the probability of the product failing before 830 thousand hours is approximately the same for both the normal (useful) life distribution and the wear-out distribution.

Conducting a political poll. A pollster wants to estimate the difference between the proportions of men and women who favor a particular national candidate using a 90% confidence interval of width .04. Suppose the pollster has no prior information about the proportions. If equal numbers of men and women are to be polled, how large should the sample sizes be?
