QUESTION 10

Brayden tosses a coin 500 times. Of those 500 times, he observes heads a total of 416 times. Calculations show that the probability of this occurring by chance is less than 0.01, assuming the coin is fair. Determine the meaning of the significance level.

Select the correct answer below:

We expect that 416 of every 500 coin tosses will result in heads.

At the 0.01 level of significance, the coin is likely not a fair coin.

There is certainty that the coin is not a fair coin.

The results are not statistically significant at the 0.05 level of significance.

QUESTION 19

A poll was conducted during the final game of the basketball season to determine whether fans wanted to see the defending champions win the game or the challenging team win the game. From the poll, 216 of the 374 residents sampled from urban areas want the defending champions to win the game. In more rural areas, 304 of the 466 residents polled want the defending champions to win the game. Assuming location has nothing to do with team preference, the probability that the data gathered was the result of chance is calculated to be 0.03. What is the correct interpretation of this calculation?

Select the correct answer below:

More people from rural areas want the defending champions to win the game.

Exactly 216 out of every 374 urban residents want the defending champions to win the game.

The results are statistically significant at the 0.05 level of significance in showing that the proportion of people in rural areas who want the defending champions to win the game is different than the proportion of people in urban areas.

The data is not statistically significant at the 0.05 level of significance in showing that the proportion of people in rural areas who want the defending champions to win the game is different than the proportion of people in urban areas.
