A vice president plans to conduct a survey to study the number of shares held by individual stockholders. a. Are the numbers held by stockholders discrete or continuous? Discrete b. Identify the level of measurement for the numbers of shares held. Interval c. If the survey is conducted by telephoning 20 randomly selected stockholders in each of the 50 United States, what type of sampling is being used? Probability Sample (Different state populations, still 20 per state) d. If a sample of 1000 stockholders is obtained, and the mean number of shares is calculated for this sample, is this a statistic or a parameter? Statistic e. What is wrong with gauging stockholder views about employee benefits by mailing a questionnaire that IBM stockholders could complete and mail back? Voluntary Response has an additional stipulation of perhaps “Why” a stockholder was compelled to respond, welcoming possible consistent negative feedback.

...Section 1-2 Ex. 26 Surgery vs. Splints – A study compared surgery and splinting for subjects suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. It was found that among 73 patients treated with surgery, there was a 92% success rate. Among 83 patients treated with splints, there was a 72% success rate. Calculations using these results showed that if there really is no difference in success rates between surgery and splints, then there is about a 1 in 1000 chance of getting success rates like the one obtained in this study. a. Should we conclude that surgery is better than splints for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome? It would be unfair to make such a conclusion. There are pieces of data missing: age of the patients, current health conditions of the patients, and prior treatments the patients had for this condition. b. Does the result have practical significance? The study did not generate enough viable results to make it practical for any use other than to ensure that a greater investigation should be conducted to verify the differences between the two treatment methods. These results were most likely voluntary responses, making the data gained, fairly useless. c. Should surgery be the recommended treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome? No, there is no defined level of severity for each patient. Without that information a logical recommendation for treatment cannot be assigned. Section 1-3 Ex. 30 Cloning Survey – A Gallup poll of 1012 randomly surveyed adults found that...

...MA3110: Module 6 Correlation and Regression Exercise 6.1 Linear Correlation 1 In this exercise, you will solve three questions, where you will be asked to calculate a linear correlation coefficient and determine whether there is a linear correlation between the two given variables. Solve the following problems: Listed below are baseball team statistics, consisting of the proportions of wins and the result of this difference: Difference (number of runs scored) - (number of runs allowed). The statistics are from a recent year, and the teams are NY—Yankees, Toronto, Boston, Cleveland, Texas, Houston, San Francisco, and Kansas City. Difference 163 55 –5 88 51 16 –214 Wins 0.599 0.537 0.531 0.481 0.494 0.506 0.383 o Construct a scatter plot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r, and find the critical values of r from Table VI, Appendix A, p. A-14, of your textbook Elementary Statistics. Use α = 0.05. o Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a linear correlation between the proportion of wins and the above difference? A classic application of correlation involves the association between temperature and the number of times a cricket chirps in a minute.

...Michael J. Manning MA3110 Statistics Dr. P. A. Williams What is my meaning of Statistics? My meaning or definition of statistics is that of its base word itself. Stat. Along with other elements that would make it a definition or an opinion of sort, but I’m sure that I won’t be far from what others may say it means or what they think it means. Stat is defined as with no delay; at once. When most of us think about statistics, we think of comparisons, of two or more entities but ones balance might be more or less as well as winning and losing. There is still that scale that separates the two where one is ahead of the other. The people analyzing and drawing conclusions are getting this information have to get it out to those that follow up on whatever the subject may be fast because people want to know. It’s said that Statistics is the science of planning studies and experiments, obtaining data, and then organizing, summarizing, presenting, analyzing, interpreting, and drawing conclusions based on data according to (Pearson’s Elementary Statistics Using Microsoft Excel by, Mario F. Triola). This is the same as I said without including all of the other tools needed, or used in Statistics. Television shows are another example being on statistic radar so to speak. You have so many television shows that are out right now...
