A subtle form of racial discrimination in housing is “racial steering.” Racial steering occurs when real estate agents
show prospective buyers only homes in neighborhoods already dominated by that family’s race. Tenants at a large
apartment complex recently filed a lawsuit alleging racial steering. The plaintiffs claimed that potential renters
were steered to Section A, while African-American renters were steered to Section B. The accompanying table displays
the data that were presented in court to show the locations of recently rented apartments. Do you think there is
evidence of racial steering?

2. Newspaper headlines at the time and traditional wisdom in the succeeding
decades have held that women and children escaped a sunken ship in greater
proportion than men. Here’s a table with the relevant data. Do you think that
survival was independent of whether the person was male or female? Defend your
conclusion.
Female Male Total
Alive 374 276 650
Dead 123 1363 1486
Total 497 1639 2136
Is there evidence of a significant difference between the proportion of males and females who survived at the
0.025 level of significance? What are the null and alternative hypotheses to test?
A. H : Survival was independent of gender on the ship. 0
H : There is an association between survival and gender on the ship. A
B. H : Survival was dependent on gender on the ship. 0
H : There is no association between survival and gender on the ship. A
C. H : There is an association between survival and gender on the ship. 0
H : Survival was independent of gender on the ship. A
D. H : There is no associations between survival and gender on the ship. 0
H : Survival was dependent on gender on the ship. A
Are the conditions for inference satisfied?
A. Yes, because the data are in counts, the data in groups are dependent on each other, and the groups
are sufficiently large.
B. Yes, because the data are counts, the data in groups are independent, and the groups have at least 5
observations.
C. No, because the data are not in counts, the data in groups are independent, and there is at least one
group that has less than 5 observations.
D. No, because the data are in counts, the data in the groups are dependent on each other, and the
groups have at least 5 observations.
Calculate the test statistic.

The p-value is . (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Interpret the p-value. Choose the correct answer below.
A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude there is weak evidence of an association between
survival and gender on the ship. Both genders were equally likely to survive.
B. Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude there is strong evidence of an association between
survival and gender on the ship. Females were more likely to survive.
C. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude there is strong evidence of an association between survival
and gender on the ship. Females were more likely to survive.
D. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude there is weak evidence of an association between survival and
gender on the ship. Both genders were equally likely to survive.

A polling institute routinely conducts surveys to gauge the impact of the Internet and technology on daily life. A recent
survey asked respondents if they read online journals or blogs, an Internet activity of potential interest to many
businesses. A subset of the data from this survey shows responses to this question. Test whether reading online
journals or blogs is independent of generation. Use a significance level of a = 0.05.

Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below.
A. H : Generation and online journal or blog reading are independent. 0
H : Generation and online journal or blog reading are not independent. A
B. H : Generation and online journal or blog reading are not independent. 0
H : Generation and online journal or blog reading are independent. A
C. H : The distribution of responses is the same for all generations. 0
H : The distribution of responses is not the same for all generations. A

What do you conclude? Choose the correct answer below.
The P-value is (1) the significance level. There is (2) evidence to reject the null
hypothesis. Thus, the test concludes that reading online journals or blogs is (3) of generational age.

It has become more common for shoppers to “comparison shop” using the Internet. Respondents to a survey in 2013
who owned cell phones were asked whether they had, in the past 30 days, looked up the price of a product while they

level. Complete parts a) and b) below.

5. In a recent study of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system effectiveness, researchers asked companies how they
assessed the success of their ERP systems. Out of manufacturing companies surveyed, they found that used
return on investment (ROI), used reductions in inventory levels, used improved data quality, and used
on-time delivery. In a survey of service firms, used ROI, used inventory levels, used improved data
quality, and used on-time delivery. Is there evidence that the measures used to assess ERP system effectiveness
differ between service and manufacturing firms? Perform the appropriate test and state your conclusion.
