Some government leaders propose allowing oil companies to drill in currently protected lands that may be rich in oil reserves. Environmental researchers argue that drilling in such lands would be harmful to the surrounding ecosystem. To measure support for drilling in such lands, an oil company representative uses random-digit telephone dialing to contact adults in the region and measure opinion for increased drilling. One question in the survey asks, "Given that an increase in drilling could result in increased tax revenue and additional jobs to the region, would you support a proposal to allow drilling in lands currently protected from drilling?" What type of bias could be most likely affecting the survey results? This is undercoverage bias because some segments of the population will be excluded from the sample. This is response bias because those selected for the survey may not provide truthful opinions about oil drilling. This is voluntary res

Answers

Answer 1

The type of bias in this survey is question-wording bias because the question is influencing the response (option D).

Question-wording bias occurs when the words selected in the question influence a specific response. Here is one example:

Do you believe a cruel practice such as bullfighting should be forbidden?

In this question, the use of the word cruel qualifies bullfighting as negative, and therefore in most cases, people will answer that bullfighting should be forbidden.

This effect occurs in the question for this survey because the section given that an increase in drilling could result in increased tax revenue and additional jobs to the region indirectly states drilling is positive and therefore influences the response of those surveyed.

Note: This question is incomplete because some of the options are missing; here are the complete options:

What type of bias could be most likely affecting the survey results?

A. This is undercoverage bias because some segments of the population will be excluded from the sample.

B. This is response bias because those selected for the survey may not provide truthful opinions about oil drilling.

C. This is voluntary response bias because those most passionate about drilling will be more likely to register an opinion.

D. This is question-wording bias because the information given at the start of the question may lead those surveyed towards a desired response.

In 2020 researchers took random samples to compare the proportion of adult females to the proportion of adult males who use 2 or more credit/debit cards. The adults were aged 21 and older and they lived in all areas of the U.S. Based on the data collected, the researchers computed a 96 percent confidence interval for the true difference between the proportions of adult females minus the proportion of adult males who use 2 or more credit/debit cards. The confidence interval is: (0.013, 0.049). Assume all checks have been verified.
Question:
Choose the best answer below concerning the confidence interval for the difference between the true proportions of adult females minus the true proportion of adult males who use 2 or more credit/debit cards.

Answers

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the correct option is:

[tex]p_1 - p_2 \pm z\sqrt{\frac{p_1(1 - p_1)}{n_1} + \frac{p_2(1 - p_2)}{n_2}}[/tex]

A confidence interval is given by:

[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]

In which:

p is the estimate of the proportion.z is the critical value.s is the standard error.

In this problem, the proportions are:

A proportion [tex]p_1[/tex] in a sample of size [tex]n_1[/tex].[tex]p_2[/tex] in a sample of size [tex]n_2[/tex].

Hence, the standard errors are:

[tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{p_1(1 - p_1)}{n_1}}, s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{p_2(1 - p_2)}{n_2}}[/tex]

When two proportions are subtracted, the estimate is the subtraction of proportions, while the standard error of the subtraction is the square root of the sum of each standard error squared, hence:

[tex]p = p_1 - p_2[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{\frac{p_1(1 - p_1)}{n_1} + \frac{p_2(1 - p_2)}{n_2}}[/tex]

Thus, the interval is:

[tex]p_1 - p_2 \pm z\sqrt{\frac{p_1(1 - p_1)}{n_1} + \frac{p_2(1 - p_2)}{n_2}}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]The \: fraction \: \frac{15}{4} \: is \: equivalent \: to \: 3 \frac{3}{4 } .[/tex]

This fraction is a improper fraction once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (15) is greater than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (4). So, the equivalent fraction is a mixed number which is made up of a whole number (3) and a proper fraction [tex]3 \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

The fraction [tex] \frac{15}{4} [/tex]

is also equal to 15÷4 and can also be expressed as a decimal as 3.75 and expressed as a percentage as 375%.

The fraction 15/4 is equivalent to 3 3/4.

Here, we have,

To simplify the fraction 15/4, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (15) and the denominator (4) and divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD.

The GCD of 15 and 4 is 1 since there are no common factors other than 1.

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 1, we get:

(15 ÷ 1) / (4 ÷ 1) = 15/4

This fraction is a improper fraction once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (15) is greater than the absolute value of the bottom number or denominator (4).

So, the equivalent fraction is a mixed number which is made up of a whole number (3) and a proper fraction 3 3/4.

The fraction 15/4 is also equal to 15÷4 and can also be expressed as a decimal as 3.75 and expressed as a percentage as 375%.

A study of more than 3,000 toco toucans found that their weights were approximately Normally distributed, with a mean

the following correctly interprets the value of P(Y < 16)?
Find the Z-table here.
O P(Y< 16) = 0.50. About 50% of all toco toucans weigh less than 16 ounces.
OP(Y< 16) = 0.041. About 4.1% of all toco toucans weigh less than 16 ounces.
O P(Y < 16) = 0.959. About 95.9% of all toco toucans weigh less than 16 ounces.
P(Y < 16) = 0.041. About 4.1% of the toco toucans from this group weigh less than 16 ounces.
O P(Y< 16) = 0.959. About 95.9% of the toco toucans from this group weigh less than 16 ounces.

Answers

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the correct option is:

P(Y< 16) = 0.041. About 4.1% of all toco toucans weigh less than 16 ounces

In a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

Mean of 20 ounces, hence [tex]\mu = 20[/tex].Standard deviation of 2.3 ounces, hence [tex]\sigma = 2.3[/tex]

P(Y < 16) is the p-value of Z when X = 16, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{16 - 20}{2.3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.74[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.74[/tex] has a p-value of 0.041.

This is valid for the entire population, hence, the correct interpretation is:

P(Y< 16) = 0.041. About 4.1% of all toco toucans weigh less than 16 ounces

Three cards are dealt from a shuffled standard deck of playing cards. Find the probability that the first card dealt is red, the second is black, and the third is red. (Enter your probability as a fraction.)

Answers

There are 52 cards in a deck, half the cards aware red and half the cards are red.

First card being red is 26/52 = 1/2

After the first card is dealt there are 51 cards left and 26 are black so dealing a black card = 26/51

After 2 cards are dealt there are 50 cards left and 25 red ones left. The probability would be 25/50 = 1/2

The probability of all 3 happening = 1/2 x 26/51 x 1/2 = 13/102
