Seatwork: Assume the data are not normally distributed.

Identify the type of statistical tool then provide the

conclusion.

1. Many people believe that criminals who plead guilty tend to get lighter sentences than those who are
convicted in trials. The accompanying table summarizes randomly selected sample data for San Francisco
defendants in burglary cases. All of the subjects had prior prison sentences. Test the claim that the
sentence (sent to prison or not sent to prison) is independent of the plea.

Sentence Guilty Plea Not-Guilty Plea

Sent to Prison 392 58
Not sent to prison 564 14
2. In a study of store checkout scanning systems, samples of purchases were used to compare the scanned
prices to the posted prices. The accompanying table summarizes results for a sample of 71 items. When
stores use scanners to check out items, are the error rates the same for regular-priced items as they are
for advertised-special items?

Regular-Priced Items Advertised-Special Items

Correct Items 20 29
Overcharge 15 7

3. Two judges of a town fiesta parade in Catarman ranked 10 floats, in which, the order are shown below.
Test whether there is a significant relationship in the ranking of the two judges.

Judge A 5 8 9 10 4 3 6 2 7 1
Judge B 7 5 10 9 4 2 8 1 6 3

4. A study of sport and compact car colors shows that 15.2% are green, 14.4% are white, 19.8% are red,
11.2% are black, and 39.4% are other colors. When 100 trucks and vans are randomly selected, it is found
that 16 are green, 24 are white, 16 are red, none are black, and 44 are other colors. Is there sufficient
evidence to support the claim that the color distribution for trucks and vans is different from the color
distribution for sport and compact cars?

5. Is there a significant difference in results of treatments among the 4 groups of animals?
