1. Additional HW Exercise 9.1 (a) A state government official is interested in the prevalence of color blindness among drivers in the state. In a random sample of 1000 licensed drivers, 136 were found to be color blind. Summarize the results (Step 4) of the z test to see if there is sufficient evidence that the proportion of color blind drivers is significantly different from 20% at the  = 0.05 level. p – 0 0 (1 – 0 ) ———— n z = = p =136 / 1000 =0.136 0.136 – 0.2 (0.2)(0.8) ———— 1000 =– 5.060 1 –  =  — = 2  — = 2 0.95 0.025 z 0.025 = 1.960– z 0.025 = –1.960 We need a two-sided rejection region: We can find this value in the  row of the t distribution tables.

2. have sufficient evidence to reject H 0. We conclude that the proportion of color blind drivers is different from 20%. (P < 0.001). The data suggest that this proportion is – 5.060 and z 0.025 =1.960, we Since z = The two-sided P-value can be found from the t distribution tables. less than 20%.

3. Considering the results of the hypothesis test in part (a), explain why it would be of interest to find a confidence interval for the proportion of color blind drivers; then find a 95% confidence interval for this proportion.

4. We are 95% confident that proportion of color blind drivers is between 0.115 and 0.157.

5. Additional HW Exercise 9.2 (a) A random sample of individuals are polled in order to collect data concerning customer preference for cable and satellite television channels in various geographic areas. The following contingency table is constructed from this data: Enter the data into SPSS. Beginning with a blank data screen in SPSS, go to the Variable View sheet by clicking on the appropriate tab at the bottom of the screen. In the first row, enter the variable name residence. Define codes for this variable so that 1 (one) represents Rural, 2 (two) represents Suburban, and 3 (three) represents Urban. In the second row, enter the variable name channel. Define codes for this variable so that 1 (one) represents Cartoon, 2 (two) represents Comedy, 3 (three) represents SciFi, and 4 (four) represents Western. Channel Preference Suburban CartoonComedy Residence Sci Fi Rural2875317 Western 105 Urban 6992126113400 22344636138 19512760157

6. In the third row, enter the variable name count. Since all the counts must be integers, change the entry in the third cell of the Decimals column to 0 (zero). Return to the Data View sheet. In the first row, enter the codes 1 and 1 respectively for the variables residence and channel. In the second row, enter the codes 1 and 2 respectively for the variables residence and channel. In the third row, enter the codes 1 and 3 respectively for the variables residence and channel. In the fourth row, enter the codes 1 and 4 respectively for the variables residence and channel. In the fifth row, enter the codes 2 and 1 respectively for the variables residence and channel. Continue until each possible combination of codes has been entered for the variables residence and channel. You should end be entering the codes 3 and 4 respectively for the variables residence and channel in the 12th row. (If you do not see the labels Rural, Suburban, Urban, Cartoon, Comedy, SciFi, and Western, then select View > Value Labels from the main menu.) Now enter the corresponding counts from the contingency table in the column for the variable count. Select the Data > Weight Cases options to display the Weight Cases dialog box, and select the Weight cases by option. Then select the variable name count from the list on the left, and click on the arrow button pointing toward the Frequency Variable slot of the dialog box. Click on the OK button. Save this SPSS data file with the name tvchannels.

7. The data are to be used with a 0.05 significance level to see if there is any evidence against the claim that 20% of the customers prefer the Cartoon Channel, 10% prefer the Comedy Channel, 40% prefer the Sci Fi Channel, and 30% prefer the Western Channel. Do this by completing the following: (i) Additional HW Exercise 9.2 - continued (b) With the SPSS data file tvchannels, select the Analyze > Nonparametric Tests > Chi-Square options to display the Chi-Square Test dialog box. From the list of the variables on the left, select channel, and click on the arrow button pointing toward the Test Variable List section. In the Expected Values section, select the Values option to enter the hypothesized percentages. Type 20 in the Values slot and click on the Add button; type 10 in the Values slot and click on the Add button; type 40 in the Values slot and click on the Add button; finally, type 30 in the Values slot and click on the Add button. (Since it does not matter whether percentages or proportions are entered, 0.2, 0.1, 0.4, and 0.3 could have been entered in place of 20, 10, 40, and 30.) The order in which these hypothesized percentages (or proportions) are entered must correspond to the order of the codes for the different categories. (Recall that 1, 2, 3, and 4 were respectively the codes for Cartoon Channel, Comedy Channel, Sci Fi Channel, and Western Channel.) Click on the OK button, after which results are displayed as SPSS output.

8. (ii)Summarize the results (Step 4) of the chi-square test to see if there is sufficient evidence at the  = 0.05 level against the claim that 20% of the customers prefer the Cartoon Channel, 10% prefer the Comedy Channel, 40% prefer the Sci Fi Channel, and 30% prefer the Western Channel. have sufficient evidence to reject H 0. We conclude that at least one of the hypothesized proportions is not correct (P < 0.005).

9. Additional HW Exercise 9.2(b) - continued (iii)Indicate whether or not multiple comparison is necessary; if no, explain why not, and if yes, then use Bonferroni’s method to identify which hypothesized proportions are not correct. Since we rejected H 0, we need multiple comparison to identify which hypothesized proportions are not correct.

With  = 0.05, we conclude that the true proportion for the Comedy Channel is higher than the hypothesized 0.10 (10%), and that the true proportion for the Sci Fi Channel is lower than the hypothesized 0.40 (40%).
