A company that manufactures golf balls produces a new type of ball that is supposed to travel significantly farther than the company's previous golf ball. To determine this, 40 new-style golf balls and 40 original-style golf balls are randomly selected from the company's production line on a specific day. A golf pro takes the balls to the driving range and hits the 40 new-style golf balls first and then the 40 original-style golf balls. The distance each ball travels is recorded. At the end of the session, the mean distance traveled for the new type of golf ball was found to be significantly greater than the mean distance for the original-style golf ball. Which of the following is a valid conclusion?

Inferences can be made about all the golf balls produced on that day; however, a conclusion cannot be made that new-style golf balls travel farther than the original type of golf ball for this golf pro.

A florist wants to determine if a new additive would extend the life of cut flowers longer than the original additive.

A consumer agency wants to determine which of two laundry detergents, A or B, cleans clothes better. Fifty pieces of fabric are subjected to the same kinds of stains (grass, mud, coffee). Then 25 pieces are randomly assigned to be cleaned with detergent A and the remaining 25 pieces are cleaned with detergent B. After being laundered, the pieces of fabric are rated on a scale from 1-10, with 1 being the least clean to 10 being the most clean. The difference in mean ratings (A - B) was determined to be 1.5. Assuming there is no difference in the two detergents, 200 simulated differences in sample mean ratings are displayed in the dotplot. Using the dotplot and the difference in mean ratings from the samples, is there convincing evidence that the one detergent is better than the other?

No, because a difference in mean rating of 1.5 or more occurred 23 out of 200 times, meaning the difference is not statistically significant and there is not convincing evidence that one brand is better than the other.

A teacher claims that there is a 50% chance that she will collect homework for a grade on any given day. One week, she collected all five daily homework assignments. A student in this class is upset and explains that the teacher should not collect any homework assignments the following week in order to honor her 50% probability claim.Is the student's reasoning correct?Yes, the teacher should not collect homework assignments next week to bring the probability of homework being collected back to 0.5.No, if the teacher collects homework five days in a row, it is not possible for the probability of homework being collected to be 0.5.Yes, it is unlikely that the teacher would randomly collect homework assignments five days in a row, so not having a homework collection next week is due to happen.No, collecting homework and not collecting homework are equally likely in the long run, so whether or not the teacher collects homework on any single day cannot be determined.

No, collecting homework and not collecting homework are equally likely in the long run, so whether or not the teacher collects homework on any single day cannot be determined.

A certain dog can catch a properly thrown tennis ball with a probability of 0.95. Unfortunately, this dog has dropped the last six properly thrown tennis balls. The owner explains that the next throw has to be caught by the dog because he never misses this many. Is the owner's reasoning correct? No, the dog is on a losing streak, so he will drop the next ball thrown. Yes, the dog has missed the last six properly thrown tennis balls, so the next one thrown will be caught. No, the probability of the dog catching a properly thrown tennis ball is 0.95 over the long run, so the owner cannot say what will happen on the next throw. Yes, the dog catches 95% of properly thrown tennis balls, so the next one must be caught to compensate for the previous misses.

No, the probability of the dog catching a properly thrown tennis ball is 0.95 over the long run, so the owner cannot say what will happen on the next throw.

In a certain city, 60% of the heads of household own the house in which they reside, and 80% of the heads of the household have full-time employment. When considering what percentage of heads of household both own their home and have a full-time job, a student estimates that 48% of heads of household fit both requirements, stating that (0.60)(0.80) = 0.48. Is this student correct in his approach?Yes, these two events are most likely independent, so the joint probability can be found by multiplying the individual probabilities.No, because although two probabilities should be multiplied, it should not be these two probabilities. This is because the two events are likely not independent.No, these two events are most likely not independent, so the joint probability cannot be found by multiplying the individual probabilities. They should be added instead.Yes, the joint probability can always be found by multiplying the individual probabilities.

Forty percent of the beads in a bag of more than 10,000 beads are yellow. Suzy pulls out 10 beads, one at a time with replacement, and notes that eight of these beads are yellow. She says the next bead pulled out will not be yellow because a yellow bead has been pulled out too many times in a row.Is Suzy's reasoning correct?Yes, it is unlikely that she would pull out so many yellow beads, so the next bead cannot be yellow.Yes, Suzy has correctly decided that more than 40% of the beads in this large bag are yellow.No, if a yellow bead is pulled 8 out of 10 times, the bag of beads is unfairly weighted toward yellow.No, it is true that the probability of pulling a yellow bead is 0.40, but Suzy should not expect that exactly 40% of such a small number of beads pulled will be yellow.

A biology student wants to determine if using a fertilizer would help promote growth of new babies in spider plants. The student chooses 100 baby spider plants to be used in the study. They all are potted in the same amount and type of soil, given the same amount of water, and exposed to the same amount of light. Fifty of the plants will be given the fertilizer treatment and the other 50 plants will not receive any fertilizer. After one year, the shoots will be counted for each plant. Which of the following describes a completely randomized design for this experiment?

Number the plants 1-100 and put these numbers into a random number generator. The first 50 unique numbers generated will represent the plants placed in the fertilizer group. The remaining 50 plants will be placed in the group that does not receive fertilizer.

Josie believes that her mom calls her at the most inconvenient times. As a matter of fact, Josie thinks that 80% of the times that her mom calls, she is busy doing important tasks such as schoolwork, driving, or feeding the family pets. Which is the best interpretation of this probability? Josie's mom is calling her 80% of the day. If Josie is doing 10 important tasks in one day, her mom will call during 8 of those tasks. Josie has an 80% chance of completing her important tasks without her mom calling her. Over the course of many weeks, about 80% of the calls from Josie's' mom will come when she is busy doing important tasks.

A contractor claims that she finishes a job on time 90% of the time. Last month, she only completed 7 out of her 10 jobs on time. To see if this is surprisingly low, a simulation was conducted 100 times under the assumption that she really does complete 90% of her jobs on time.The dotplot contains 100 trials of this simulation.A dotplot titled jobs completed on time has number of jobs completed on the x-axis, and frequency on the y-axis. 5, 1; 6, 3; 7, 15; 8, 26; 9, 45; 10, 11.Based on this dotplot and the sample of last month's on-time completions, which conclusion can be drawn?The contractor's true, on-time completion rate is only 50%.It is most likely that the contractor will complete about 9 out of 10 jobs.If we used a larger sample size of 40 jobs, the simulated dotplot would be different; therefore, we cannot draw a conclusion.The dotplot does not provide convincing evidence that her true, on-time completion rate is less than 90% because 7 or fewer on-time completions happened 19% of the time in the simulation.

An online news report claims that 50% of online news readers work in the business industry. To test this claim, a researcher takes an SRS of 25 online news readers. Nine of them work in the business industry. A simulation of 65 trials was conducted under the assumption that 50% of online news readers really do work in the business industry.A dotplot titled online readers and the business industry has number of readers from the food industry on the x-axis, and frequency on the y-axis. 8, 1; 9, 2; 10, 6; 11, 9; 12, 13; 13, 15; 14, 9; 15, 6; 16, 2; 17, 0; 18, 1; 19, 1.Based on this dotplot and the sample of 25 online news readers, which conclusion can be drawn?Since 0.36 of the sample works in the business industry, 0.36 is the true probability that an online news reader works in the business industry.It is most likely that, out of 25 online readers, between 12 and 13 work in the business industry.Because there appear to be outliers present that are greater than 16, we can conclude that more than 50% of online readers work in the business industry.There is about a 0.046 chance that 9 or fewer online readers work in the business industry. This is unusual and is convincing evidence that less than 50% of online readers work in the business industry.
