3. Example 1 (page 452)
Do Airbags Save Lives? The table below lists results from a simple random sample of front-seat occupants involved in car crashes (based on data from “Who Wants Airbags?” by Meyer and Finney, Chance, Vol. 18, No. 2). Use a significance level to test the claim that the fatality rate of occupants is lower for those in cars equipped with airbags.
Airbag Available
No Airbag Available
Occupant Fatalities 41 52
Total number of occupants
11,541
9,853

4. Example 2 (page 454)
Use the sample data given in Example 1 to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population proportions. What does the result suggest about the effectiveness of airbags in an accident?
Airbag Available
No Airbag Available
Occupant Fatalities 41 52
Total number of occupants
11,541
9,853

5. Exercise 15 (page 458)
A simple random sample of front-seat occupants involved in car crashes is obtained. Among 2823 occupants not wearing seat belts, 31 were killed. Among 7765 occupants wearing seat belts, 16 were killed. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the fatality rates for those not wearing seat belts and those wearing seat belts. What does the result suggest about the effectiveness of seat belts?

6. Exercise 16 (page 458)
Use the sample data in Exercise 15 with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the fatality rate is higher for those not wearing seat belts. From exercise 15: “Among 2823 occupants not wearing seat belts, 31 were killed. Among 7765 occupants wearing seat belts, 16 were killed.”

11. Hypothesis Test for Effect of Marijuana Use on College Students
A group of light and heavy users of marijuana in college were tested for memory recall, with the results given below (based on data from “The Residual Cognitive Effects of Heavy Marijuana Use in College Student,” Journal of the American Medical Association). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the population of heavy marijuana users has a lower mean than the light users. Should marijuana use be of concern for college students?
Items sorted correctly by light marijuana users: 𝑛=64, 𝑥 =53.3, 𝑠=3.6
Items sorted correctly by heavy marijuana users: 𝑛=65, 𝑥 =51.3, 𝑠=4.5

12. Hypothesis Test for Effect of Marijuana Use on College Students (continued)
Now construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. Does the confidence interval include zero? What does this suggest about the equality of the two populations?

13. Repeat the hypothesis testing and Confidence interval with the assumption that σ1= σ2

17. Example 1: Hypothesis Test of Claimed Freshman Weight Gain
Use the following table of weights of students measured both in September and later in April of their freshman year with a significance level to test the claim that for the population of students, the mean change in weight is equal to 0 kg.
Weight (kg) Measurements of Students in their Freshman Year
April weight 66 52 68 69 71
September weight 67 53 64 70
Difference d = (April weight) – (September weight) -1 4 -2 1
