Answer:

0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

These events are not mutually exclusive; this means they can happen at the same time.

For two events A and B that are not mutually exclusive,

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A)

Let A be the event "over 21 years old" and B be the event "drinks alcohol".  

The probability that a student is over 21 years old is 0.3; this is because 30% of the students are over 21 years old.

The probability that a student drinks alcohol given they are over 21 is 0.8.

This gives us

P(A and B) = 0.3(0.8) = 0.24

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years old is \boxed{0.24{\text{ or 24\% }}}. Option (c) is correct.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The probability of a college student drinking alcohol is 0.6.

The probability of drinking alcohol is 0.8.

30\% of the college students are over 21 years old.

Explanation:

Consider X be the event that a student is over 21 years old.

Consider Y be the event that a student drinks alcohol.

The probability of event X can be expressed as follows,

P\left( X \right) = 0.3

The probability of drinking alcohol is 0.8.

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years can be obtained  as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Probability}}&= P\left( X \right) \times P\left( {Y/X} \right)\\&= 0.3 \times 0.8\\&= 0.24\\\end{aligned}

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years old is \boxed{0.24{\text{ or 24\% }}}. Option (c) is correct.

A researcher records the amount of time (in minutes) that parent child pairs spend on social networking sites to test whether th
ki77a [65]

Answer:

(a) A matched pair design is used to perform the test.

(b) Each sample is of size 30.

(c) The null hypothesis is rejected.

(d) The effect size of the test is medium.

Step-by-step explanation:

A statistical experiment is performed to determine whether the amount of time (in minutes) that parent-child pairs spend on social networking sites to test show any generational differences.

<u>Given</u>:

MD = -42 minutes

t₍₂₉₎ = 4.021

p < 0.05

d = 0.49

The hypothesis is:

<em>H₀</em>: There is no difference between the means, i.e. <em>μ₁</em> = <em>μ₂</em>.

<em>Hₐ</em>: There is a significant difference between the means, i.e. <em>μ₁</em> ≠ <em>μ₂</em>.

(a)

A matched pair design is used to perform the test.

In a matched pair design the participant of the two groups are related in some way. For example, the same sample is tested before and after applying the treatment.

In this case the matched are pairs are of children and their parents. And the treatment is the amount of time spent on social networking sites.

(b)

The degrees of freedom of a matched pair design is:

df = n - 1

29 = n - 1

n = 29 + 1

n = 30

Thus, each sample is of size 30.

(c)

The <em>p</em>-value of the test statistic is < 0.05.

If the <em>p</em>-value is less than the significance level <em>α </em>(say, 0.05) then the null hypothesis is rejected and vise-versa.

Since <em>p</em> < 0.05 the null hypothesis is rejected concluding that there is a significant difference between the amount of time spent on social networking sites by parents and children.

(d)

The estimated value of Cohen's d is, <em>d</em> = 0.49.

A Cohen's d value between the range 0.50 to 0.80 is considered as medium.

Thus, the effect size of the test is medium.
