Creamy is approximately normal whereas crunchy is not.
Part II
1. A randomized block experiment groups subjects together with a certain variable that may confound
results to eliminate them.
2. A matched pair is when the same subject is given a pre-test and a post-test. Random pair is when
different subjects are paired together based on a common characteristic.
3. Number each subject 1-12. Use a random number generator to get numbers. The first six numbers that
are nonrepetitive go to the first treatment, the rest go to the second treatment.
4. Simple random sample – each sample has equal evidence of selection
Stratified random sample – divide by a certain feature then sample randomly
Systematic random sample – generate a random number then use another system to get sample
Multistage random sample – random sample more than once
Cluster random sample – random sample based on division by location
5. Voluntary response – Voluntary response bias occurs when sample members are self-selected
volunteers, as in voluntary samples.
Nonresponse – Sometimes, individuals chosen for the sample are unwilling or unable to participate in
the survey. Nonresponse bias is the bias that results when respondents differ in meaningful ways from
nonrespondents.
Interviewer bias – when the question a subject is asked biases their opinion one way or another.
Undercoverage – Undercoverage occurs when some members of the population are inadequately
represented in the sample.

Part III

1.
2. ŷ=113.23 + .00041x
x=mare weight
y=foal weight
3. No, because r isn’t high and the line doesn’t appear to be a good model.
4. b=.00041
For every 1 kg increase in mare weight, there is an approximate increase of .00041 kg in foal weight.
5. r=.0013
There is a weak, positive linear association between mare weight (kg) and foal weight (kg).
6. r2=.0000018
.00018% of the variation in foal weight (kg) can be explained by the LSRL model on mare weight (kg).
 7. This would not be advisable because the LSRL isn’t a good model.
8. ŷ=113.23 + .00041x
ŷ=113.23 + .00041(535)
ŷ=113.45

Tougher Not tougher Total
Women .33 .22 .5
 Men .225 .275 .5
Total .56 .44 1
P(woman)=.5
P(woman | tougher)=.33/.56=.5893
Therefore, that the selected adult is female is not independent from the adult favors stricter gun control.

Part VI
1. p=population proportion of Caucasian males with a certain chromosome defect
n=2000
p-hat=1/200
np=2000(1/200)=10≥10
nq=2000(199/200)=1990≥10
Therefore, p-hat is approximately normal.
µp-hat=1/200
σp-hat=√ pq/n=√(1/200)(199/200)/(2000)=.0016
2. P(p-hat≤.002)=.0304
3. P(p-hat≥.007)=.1056
4. µ=population mean of the nicotine content in a single cigarette of a particular brand or .8
σ=.1
n=100≥30 therefore, sample is normal
µx-bar=.8
σx-bar=σ/√n=.1/√100=.01
P(x-bar≤.79)=.1587
5. P(x-bar≤.77)=.0013
6. P(x-bar≥.82)=.0228

Part VII
1. p=population proportion of all US adults who favor AIDS testing for all citizens
p-hat±z*√p-hat×q-hat/n
Assume SRS
1014<10% US adults
Opinions are assumed independent
n×p-hat=1014(466/1014)=466≥10
n×q-hat=1014(548/1014)=548≥10
Therefore, p-hat is approximately normal
z*=1.96
p-hat±z*√p-hat×q-hat/n
(466/1014)±2.96√(466/1014)(548/1014)/1014=(.413,.506)
I am 95% confident that the population proportion of all US adults who favor AIDS testing for all
citizens is between 41.3% and 50.6%.
2. z*=1.645
p-hat±z*√p-hat×q-hat/n
(466/1014)±1.645√(466/1014)(548/1014)/1014=(.434,.485)
I am 90% confident that the population proportion of all US adults who favor AIDS testing for all
citizens is between 43.4% and 48.5%.
3. The 90% and 95% confidence intervals are different because more intervals would be contained in the
population proportion of all US adults who favor AIDS testing for all citizens.
4. p=population proportion of full time workers who have been angry enough to want to hit a coworker in
the past year
p-hat±z*√p-hat×q-hat/n
Given SRS
750<10% full time workers
 Anger is assumed independent
n×p-hat=750(125/750)=125≥10
n×q-hat=750(625/750)=625≥10
Therefore, p-hat is approximately normal
p-hat=125/750=.1667
5. z*=1.645
p-hat±z*√p-hat×q-hat/n
(125/750)±1.645√(125/750)(625/750)/750=(.144,.189)
I am 90% confident that the population proportion of full time workers who have been angry enough to
want to hit a coworker in the past year is between 14.4% and 18.9%.
6. n=p-hat×q-hat(z*/B)2
n=(125/750)(625/750)(1.645/.03)2
n=417.57≈418
