A study is conducted to investigate whether customer satisfaction is greater among computer companies that offer tech support ve

rsus those that do not offer tech support. A random sample of 50 customers are selected from among those that purchased computers that offer tech support. A separate random sample of 40 customers are selected from among those that purchased computers that do not offer tech support.
The study found that the mean satisfaction rating was significantly greater among customers that purchased computers that offer tech support.
Which of the following is the best description of this study?
(A) An experiment using a completely randomized design.
(B) An experiment using a randomized block design.
(C) An experiment using a matched pairs design
(D) An observational study using a simple random sample.

Answer:

The correct answer is (E).

This is not an experiment because no treatment is being imposed upon the customers. Additionally, this study used a stratified sample because independent random samples were selected from two distinct populations of customers.

Mystery Boxes: Breakout Rooms
ollegr [7]

Answer:

\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {3} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {57} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {[ \ ]} \\ \end{array}

Required

Fill in the box

From the question, the range is:

Range = 60

Range is calculated as:

Range =  Highest - Least

From the box, we have:

Least = 1

So:

60 = Highest  - 1

Highest = 60 +1

Highest = 61

The box, becomes:

\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}

From the question:

IQR = 20 --- interquartile range

This is calculated as:

IQR = Q_3 - Q_1

Q_3 is the median of the upper half while Q_1 is the median of the lower half.

So, we need to split the given boxes into two equal halves (7 each)

<u>Lower half:</u>

\begin{array}{ccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } \\ \end{array}

<u>Upper half</u>

<u></u>\begin{array}{ccccccc}{[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}<u></u>

The quartile is calculated by calculating the median for each of the above halves is calculated as:

Median = \frac{N + 1}{2}th

Where N = 7

So, we have:

Median = \frac{7 + 1}{2}th = \frac{8}{2}th = 4th

So,

Q_3 = 4th item of the upper halves

Q_1= 4th item of the lower halves

From the upper halves

<u></u>\begin{array}{ccccccc}{[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}<u></u>

<u></u>

We have:

Q_3 = 32

Q_1 can not be determined from the lower halves because the 4th item is missing.

So, we make use of:

IQR = Q_3 - Q_1

Where Q_3 = 32 and IQR = 20

So:

20 = 32 - Q_1

Q_1 = 32 - 20

Q_1 = 12

So, the lower half becomes:

<u>Lower half:</u>

\begin{array}{ccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12 } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } \\ \end{array}

From this, the updated values of the box is:

\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}

From the question, the median is:

Median = 22 and N = 14

To calculate the median, we make use of:

Median = \frac{N + 1}{2}th

Median = \frac{14 + 1}{2}th

Median = \frac{15}{2}th

Median = 7.5th

This means that, the median is the average of the 7th and 8th items.

The 7th and 8th items are blanks.

However, from the question; the mode is:

Mode = 18

Since the values of the box are in increasing order and the average of 18 and 18 do not equal 22 (i.e. the median), then the 7th item is:

7th = 18

The 8th item is calculated as thus:

Median = \frac{1}{2}(7th + 8th)

22= \frac{1}{2}(18 + 8th)

Multiply through by 2

44 = 18 + 8th

8th = 44 - 18

8th = 26

The updated values of the box is:

\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}

From the question.

Mean = 26

Mean is calculated as:

Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}

So, we have:

26= \frac{1 + 2nd + 4 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 26 + 29 + 30 + 32 + 12th + 58 + 61}{14}

Collect like terms

26= \frac{ 2nd + 12th+1 + 4 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 26 + 29 + 30 + 32 + 58 + 61}{14}

26= \frac{ 2nd + 12th+304}{14}

Multiply through by 14

14 * 26= 2nd + 12th+304

364= 2nd + 12th+304

This gives:

2nd + 12th = 364 - 304

2nd + 12th = 60

From the updated box,

\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}

We know that:

<em>The 2nd value can only be either 2 or 3</em>

<em>The 12th value can take any of the range 33 to 57</em>

Of these values, the only possible values of 2nd and 12th that give a sum of 60 are:

2nd = 3

12th = 57

i.e.

2nd + 12th = 60

3 + 57 = 60

So, the complete box is:

\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {3} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {57} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}
