Note one or two possible extraneous or confounding variables for each. Question 1 (1 point) Listen Researchers plan to test and compare driving skills of different age groups. They will test a sample of 15 teenagers on Monday and a sample of 15 middle aged adults on Friday. Both groups will be tested on the same road and the researcher will use the same checklist to judge the driving skills. They will then compare driving skills of the two groups.

Step 1
Some teenagers may have been driving for a longer period of time or have had more practice compared to others, which could affect their driving skills. Show more…

Use the results from a survey of a simple random sample of 1291 adults. Among the 1291 respondents, 75% rated themselves as above average drivers. We want to test the claim that more than 7/10 of adults rate themselves as above average drivers. Complete parts (a) through (e). a. Regardless of the conclusion reached from the hypothesis test, is it possible that more than 7/10 of adults can be above average drivers? A. No. Assuming quality of driving can be quantified, half of all adults must have driving quality less than or equal to the mean. B. Yes. Assuming quality of driving can be quantified, a distribution that is extremely skewed to the left would be the most promising scenario for more than this proportion of adults to have driving quality that is above the mean. C. Yes. Assuming quality of driving can be quantified, a distribution that is extremely skewed to the right would be the most promising scenario for more than this proportion of adults to have driving quality that is above the mean. D. No. It is impossible to compare the quality of different adults' driving.

A paper investigated the driving behavior of teenagers by observing their vehicles as they left a high school parking lot and then again at a site approximately 1/2 mile from the school. Assume that it is reasonable to regard the teen drivers in this study as representative of the population of teen drivers. Amount by Which Speed Limit Was Exceeded Male Driver Female Driver 1.3 -0.2 1.3 0.5 0.9 1.1 2.1 0.7 0.7 1.1 1.3 1.2 3 0.1 1.3 0.9 0.6 0.5 2.1 0.5 (a) Use a .01 level of significance for any hypothesis tests. Data consistent with summary quantities appearing in the paper are given in the table. The measurements represent the difference between the observed vehicle speed and the posted speed limit (in miles per hour) for a sample of male teenage drivers and a sample of female teenage drivers. (Use μmales - μfemales. Round your test statistic to two decimal places. Round your degrees of freedom down to the nearest whole number. Round your p-value to three decimal places.) t = df = P =

YesNo
