- Zane is examining two studies involving how different generations classify specified items as either luxuries or necessities. In the first study, generation A is defined to be people ages 18–29. The second study defined generation A to be people ages 22–33. Zane notices that the first study was conducted in 2002 while the second one was conducted in 2006 (a) According to the 2002 study, what are the birth years of generation A? The Sand Canyon Archaeological Project, edited by W. D. Lipe and published by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, contains the stem-and-leaf diagram shown below. The study uses tree rings to accurately determine the year in which a tree was cut. The figure gives the tree-ring-cutting dates for samples of timbers found in the architectural units at Sand Canyon Pueblo. The text referring to the figure says, "The three-digit numbers in the left column represent centuries and decades A.D. The numbers to the right represent individual years, with each number derived…arrow_forwardA random sample of 300 United States cell phone users were asked their age and the question “Do you regularly use your cell phone to text while eating dinner?” The number responding yes was tabulated separately for young adults (aged 18–29), older adults (aged 30–64), and elderly adults (aged 65 or older). The results are summarized in the following table.

- Example 6.14 Convert the set of numbers 6, 7, 5, 10 and 12 into standard scores:arrow_forwardAssume that in a marketing study it has been found that on a fall Saturday afternoon 15% of adult men watch sports programming on network A from 1:00 P.M. to 2:00 P.M., 18% watch on network C from 2:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M., and 7% watch on both networks. For simplicity assume that viewers of these programs are sure to see advertisements if they are watching a program. What is the probability that the ad will be seen by a randomly chosen adult man if Chips ‘n’ Fish Restaurants advertise only on network A during the sports programming segment? What is the probability that the ad will be seen by a randomly chosen adult man if Chips ‘n’ Fish Restaurants advertise on both networks during the sports programming segment? If Chips ‘n’ Fish Restaurants advertise on both networks during the sports programming segment, what is the probability that an ad will be seen only on network C?arrow_forwardIn a study conducted by some Statistics students, 69 people were randomly assigned to listen to rap music, music by Mozart, or no music while attempting to memorize objects pictured on a page. They were then asked to list all the objects they could remember. The summary statistics for each group are shown in the table. Does it matter whether one listens to rap music while studying, or is it better to study without music at all? Complete parts a and b. No Music Rap 31 Mozart Count 20 18 12.45 Mean SD 12.73 8.77 3.91 3.66 4.25 a) Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion.

Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups. A participant was brought into a room with no windows and only one door. In the background, either soft classical music, or no music at all was playing. After a set amount of time, a fire alarm went off, and smoke started to come from under the door. A hidden video camera records the participants behavior that is later scored by the experimenter for level of panic from 0-100.
