2. A sample of students were asked to rank their looks compared to the looks of others on a scale from 1 to 10. A 10 means they feel they are more attractive than everyone else while a 1 means they feel they are less attractive than everyone else. The data is below:

7 7 6 7 6 5 7 9 8
10 5 6 8 6 5 8 6 10
5 3 4 8 7 10 7 6 10

The data are summarized below.

Variable n Mean StDev
Rank 27 6.926 1.88

6. A study is conducted as to whether there is a relationship between joggers and the consumption of nutritional supplements. A random sample of 210 subjects is selected and they are classified as shown. Test the claim that jogging and consumption of supplements are not related.

Jogging Status Supplements Daily Supplements Weekly Supplements As Needed
Joggers 34 52 23
Non-joggers 18 65 18

The R output is as follows:
> data <- matrix(c(34, 52, 23, 18, 65, 18), byrow=T, nrow=2)
> data
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 34 52 23
[2,] 18 65 18

7. In a survey of 1000 women who had given birth, 62% of them had an epidural. I am interested in the proportion of all women who have given birth that had an epidural.
(a) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all women who have given birth that had an epidural.
(b) Interpret your confidence interval from (a).
(c) Multiple Choice: An individual claim that 50% of women who have given birth had an epidural. What can you see about the claim?
i. The claim is correct.
ii. The proportion of women who have given birth that had an epidural is not significantly different than 50%.
iii. More than 50% of women who have given birth had an epidural iv. Less than 50% of women who have given birth had an epidural

11. According to the National Association of College Stores (NCAS), students spend, on average, $655 on books per year. Suppose the standard deviation for the amount of money students spend on books per year is $240.
(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected student will spend more than $750 on a book in a year?

13. A researcher would like to conduct a controlled experiment to test whether or not a new drug will help relieve arthritic pain. To test this, the researcher has 100 participants that are split into two groups. One group will receive the new drug while the other will receive a placebo. The participants do not know whether they are receiving the drug or the placebo, however the researcher, whom will examine them, does. Participants are asked to come in to the research center every week to ask some questions, including some about their pain levels. Circle all the aspects of the study below that make it a good study.

(a) Two groups
(b) Study was double blind
(c) Study was blind
(d) One group received a placebo
(e) Participants were split into two groups but not necessarily randomly
