Question

Which of the following would not be considered a race neutral policy? People who have already been convicted of a felony and are caught with a fire arm are given an individual sentence by a judge. The judge gives African Americans with this conviction 5 years in prison; he or she gives white Americans 2 years in prison. Crack cocaine is primarily used by African Americans; powder cocaine is primarily used by white Americans. The punishments for both of these are identical. People who have already been convicted of a felony and are caught with a firearm are sentenced to a mandatory 5 year prison sentence. There is no disparity in the punishment between African- American and white American felons who carry firearms. Crack cocaine is primarily used by African Americans; powder cocaine is primarily used by white Americans. Punishment for crack cocaine is 20 times harsher than the punishment for powder cocaine.

discrimination-to-determine-if-there-is-gender-andor-race-discrimination-in-car-buying-ian-ayres-put

Discrimination To determine if there is gender and/or race discrimination in car buying, Ian Ayres put together a team of fifteen white males, five white females, four black males, and seven black females who were each asked to obtain an initial offer price from the dealer on a certain model car. The 31 individuals were made to appear as similar as possible to account for other variables that may play a role in the offer price of a car. The following data are based on the results in the article and represent the profit on the initial price offered by the dealer. Ayres wanted to determine if the profit based on the initial offer differed among the four groups. $$\begin{array}{cc|c|c|c}\text { White Male } & \text { Black Male } & \text { White Female } & \text { Black Female } \\\hline 1300 & 853 & 1241 & 951 & 1899 \\\hline 646 & 727 & 1824 & 954 & 2053 \\\hline 951 & 559 & 1616 & 754 & 1943 \\\hline 794 & 429 & 1537 & 706 & 2168 \\\hline 661 & 1181 & & 596 & 2325 \\\hline 824 & 853 & & & 1982 \\\hline 1038 & 877 & & & 1780 \\\hline 754 & & & &\end{array}$$ (a) What is the response variable in this study? Is it qualitative or quantitative? (b) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (c) A normal probability plot of each group suggests the data come from a population that is normally distributed. Verify the requirement of equal variances is satisfied. (d) Test the hypothesis stated in part (b). (e) Draw side-by-side boxplots of the four groups to support the analytic results of part (d). (f) What do the results of the analysis suggest? (g) Because the group of black males has a small sample size, the normality requirement is best verified by assessing the normality of the residuals. Verify the normality requirement by drawing a normal probability plot of the residuals.

Refer to the following. The proportions of people of various racial/ethnic identities charged with nonviolent crimes in a large city is known to be $58 \%$ White, $23 \%$ Black, $12 \%$ Hispanic, and $7 \%$ other. In a random sample of 80 people charged with nonviolent crimes in the city, the numbers receiving especially harsh sentences is tabulated in the following table. $$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Ethnicity } & \text { White } & \text { Black } & \text { Hispanic } & \text { Other } \\ \hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Number of } \\ \text { harsh sentences } \end{array} & 35 & 29 & 12 & 4 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ For performing a chi-square test, which of the following is the appropriate null hypothesis? (A) The racial/ethnic distribution of harsh sentences to nonviolent offenders is $25 \%$ White, $25 \%$ Black, $25 \%$ Hispanic, and $25 \%$ Other. (B) The racial/ethnic distribution of harsh sentences to nonviolent offenders is the same as the racial/ethnic distribution of people charged with nonviolent crimes. (C) The racial/ethnic distribution is independent of receiving a harsh sentence for nonviolent offenders. (D) The racial/ethnic distribution is not independent of receiving a harsh sentence for nonviolent offenders. (E) The correlation between race/ethnicity and receiving a harsh sentence for nonviolent offenders is zero.

A recent public opinion poll on gun control found that 60 people interviewed out of the 160 interviews supported new gun regulations. (a) What is the point estimate for the above problem? (b) What is the 90% confidence interval? (Use a table or SALT. Round your answers to three decimal places.) (c) What is the 95% confidence interval? (Use a table or SALT. Round your answers to three decimal places.) (d) Which interval is wider, the 90% confidence interval or the 95% confidence interval? a. 90% confidence interval b. 95% confidence interval 6. The use of the formula for margin of error requires a large sample. For each of the following combinations of n and p̂, indicate whether the sample size is large enough for use of this formula to be appropriate. (a) n = 50 and p̂ = 0.40 The sample size is large enough. The sample size is not large enough. (b) n = 50 and p̂ = 0.08 The sample size is large enough. The sample size is not large enough. (c) n = 15 and p̂ = 0.46 The sample size is large enough. The sample size is not large enough. (d) n = 100 and p̂ = 0.04 The sample size is large enough. The sample size is not large enough. 7. In a survey of 800 college students in the United States, 584 indicated that they believe that a student or faculty member on campus who uses language considered racist, sexist, homophobic, or offensive should be subject to disciplinary action. Assuming that the sample is representative of college students in the United States, construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of college students who have this belief. (Use a table or SALT. Round your answers to three decimal places.) Interpret the interval. a. We are 95% confident that the mean number of U.S. college students who believe that a student or faculty member on campus who uses language considered racist, sexist, homophobic, or offensive should be subject to disciplinary action falls within this interval. b. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of U.S. college students who believe that a student or faculty member on campus who uses language considered racist, sexist, homophobic, or offensive should be subject to disciplinary action falls directly in the middle of this interval. c. There is a 95% chance that the true proportion of U.S. college students who believe that a student or faculty member on campus who uses language considered racist, sexist, homophobic, or offensive should be subject to disciplinary action falls directly in the middle of this interval. d. There is a 95% chance that the true proportion of U.S. college students who believe that a student or faculty member on campus who uses language considered racist, sexist, homophobic, or offensive should be subject to disciplinary action falls within this interval. e. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of U.S. college students who believe that a student or faculty member on campus who uses language considered racist, sexist, homophobic, or offensive should be subject to disciplinary action falls within this interval. 8. A newspaper infographic titled "Social Media Jeopardizing Your Job?" summarized data from a survey of 1,800 recruiters and human resource professionals. The infographic indicated that 53% of the people surveyed had reconsidered a job candidate based on his or her social media profile. Assume that the sample is representative of the population of recruiters and human resource professionals in the United States. (a) Use the given information to estimate the proportion of recruiters and human resource professionals who have reconsidered a job candidate based on his or her social media profile using a 95% confidence interval. (Use a table or SALT. Round your answers to three decimal places.) Give an interpretation of the interval in context. a. There is a 95% chance that the true proportion of recruiters and human resource professionals who have reconsidered a job candidate based on his or her social media profile falls within this interval. b. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of recruiters and human resource professionals who have reconsidered a job candidate based on his or her social media profile falls directly in the middle of this interval. c. We are 95% confident that the mean number of recruiters and human resource professionals who have reconsidered a job candidate based on his or her social media profile falls within this interval. d. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of recruiters and human resource professionals who have reconsidered a job candidate based on his or her social media profile falls within this interval. e. There is a 95% chance that the true proportion of recruiters and human resource professionals who have reconsidered a job candidate based on his or her social media profile falls directly in the middle of this interval. Give an interpretation of the confidence level of 95%. a. Of all possible random samples, 5% would result in an interval that includes the actual value of the population proportion. b. Of all possible random samples, 5% would result in an interval that lies above the actual value of the population proportion. c. Of all possible random samples, 95% would result in an interval that lies below the actual value of the population proportion. d. Of all possible random samples, 95% would result in an interval that is centered at the actual value of the population proportion. e. Of all possible random samples, 95% would result in an interval that includes the actual value of the population proportion. Part B Would a 90% confidence interval be wider or narrower than the 95% confidence interval from part (a)? a. wider b. narrower

00:01 So our response variable will be the initial price offered by a dealer to a person with that vehicle.
00:08 And that would be a quantitative value.
00:11 We'll be assuming that the mean for white males, black males, white females, and black females, that those initial price offerings, those means are all the same.
00:22 And alternately, they're not all the same.
00:25 Now, to verify these equal variances, i got the same.
00:30 Standard deviation of each of the values.
00:33 And we can see that this one does seem to be smaller.
00:35 Now, the sample sizes are quite small, so particularly for this latter group, the white female, and the values...
