A manufacturer wanted to know if more coupons would be redeemed if they were mailed to the female in the household rather than the male in the household. A coupon book was sent at random to either the male or female in a random sample of 50 male-female households. A month later, a coupon book was sent to the other member of the pair. The manufacturer found that the mean difference (female – male) in the number of coupons redeemed was 1.5 with a standard deviation of 4.75. Do these data provide convincing evidence that the mean number of coupons redeemed is greater when the coupons were addressed to a female? Use a = 0.01.

Of course, that is incorrect. What is the mean score for all ninth graders in the city? Round to one decimal place. Mean of all ninth grader's scores =
A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in Utah and Oregon. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the mean annual income of childcare workers in Utah is less than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Oregon. To see if this is true, the firm selected a random sample of 20 childcare workers from Utah and an independent random sample of 20 childcare workers from Oregon and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows. Annual income in dollars 27060 , 42320 , 36445 , 37895, 44564 , 35325 , 30313 , 28698, 33706 , 48365 , 26946 , 25063 , 28339 , 29265 , 40051 , 37026 , 40150 , 42753 , 27820, 39471 Utah 29769 , 48859 , 32480 , 36288,45102 , 46219 ,51098 , 45516 , 38834 , 44659 , 40755 , 38006 , 39947 , 29801 , 32200, 38731 , 41370 , 28059 , 33753 , 35271 Oregon Send data to calc... v Send data to Excel The population standard deviation for the annual incomes of…
What would be the mean of the proportion of homeowners in this sample who prefer a finished basement? A realtor has been told that 42% of homeowners in a city prefer to have a finished basement. She surveys a group of 400 homeowners randomly chosen from her client list.
A high school teacher would like to examine his students’ exam scores based on seating arrangements. He assigned n = 15 students to sit in the last three rows of his class and n = 15 students to sit in the first three rows. Each student received a 45-minute lecture for one week and were given the same exam the following school day. The front row students had a mean of M = 78 with SS = 10.50 on their exam. And the back row students had a mean of M = 72 with SS = 8.90. Is there a significant difference in exam scores? Test with = .05.
According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the mean price for used cars is $10,192. A manager of a Kansas City used car dealership reviewed a sample of 50 recent used car sales at the dealership in an attempt to determine whether the population mean price for used cars at this particular dealership is below the national mean. The prices for the sample of 50 cars are shown in the file named UsedCars. 12400 10400 12100 10000 11000 8895 7675 9975 6350 10470 9895 11250 8795 12500 9340 10150 9200 9395 11000 10640 10000 7500 8000 10440 10200 10300 9740 9280 10930 8000 9000 7680 9400 10730 7350 12240 11970 8240 9910 10080 9440 8970 9500 10050 10130 11400 8500 7500 9090 10500 d.

An industrial-organizational psychologist is interested in discovering the relationship between the tempo of preferred music that is played in a workplace and employee mood. Employees chose their favorite song on an MP3 player and then reported their moods when listening to that piece of music. A total of 10 participants were asked individually and brought in their own MP3 players; the least number of songs on an employee's MP3 player was 350. The sample data are presented as a scatterplot below. The psychologist wants to use a Pearson correlation coefficient to analyze the relationship. Considering the assumptions for this statistic, which of these statements is the correct course of action? A. The researcher has chosen the wrong statistic to represent this relationship. B. The researcher has violated a robust assumption and should be able to calculate r. C. The researcher has chosen the right statistic because all the assumptions are valid. D. The researcher has violated a…
The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics complies birth statistics and publishes the results in vital statistics of the United States. The Center has historically believed that the mean of all newborns in the U.S. has been no less than 6.95 pounds. A sample of babies is selected so that the center can revise its belief. The following birth weights, in pounds are recorded: 7.4, 6.0, 8.6, 4.5, 2.0, 7.9, 4.0, 2.6, 5.9, 7.3, 7.3, 7.0, 6.3, 8.1, 7.1, 7.3, 6.6, 5.2, 9.8, 8.0, 10.9, 6.5, 3.8, 5.0, 8.0 a). At 5% level of significance, do these data provide sufficient evidence to refute the Center’s belief? Your conclusion must be in terms of the P-Value as well as setting up a Rejection Region. You must show all necessary work. b). Which statistical distribution should be applied in this situation and why? Explain carefully.
A grocery store manager wants to estimate the mean purchase total for all customers that shop at her store. To do so, she selects a random sample of 30 receipts from the large list of all receipts that are stored in the computer. Here is a dotplot of the results. The mean purchase total is $93.80 and the median purchase total is $75.80. The store manager investigates and learns that the customer that made a $500 purchase had not purchased groceries, but rather a $500 gift card. Because this customer’s purchase was not typical, the manager decides to exclude this total from the data set. How will removing the $500 purchase from the data set affect the value of the mean and the median? (A) The mean will decrease more than the median. (B) The mean will decrease less than the median. (C) The mean will stay the same, but the median will decrease. (D) The mean will increase more than the median. (E) The mean will increase, but not as much as the median.
A psychologist wanted to know if students in her class were more likely to cheat if they were low achievers. She divided her 60 students into three groups (low, middle, and high) based on their mean exam score on the previous three tests. She then asked them to rate how likely they were to cheat on an exam if the opportunity presented itself with a very limited chance for consequences. The students rated their desire to cheat on a scale ranging from 1-100, with lower numbers indicating less desire to cheat. The data: Achievement_Group Cheat 1 20 1 40 1 49 1 50 1 51 1 51 1 52 1 53 1 58 1 42 1 48 1 48 1 52 1 55 1 55 1 56 1 59 1 67 1 80 1 79 2 19 2 25 2 20 2 29 2 24 2 32 2 25 2 27 2 30 2 55 2 40 2 25 2 27 2 35 2 42 2 30 2 30 2 34 2 40 2 27 3 60 3 65 3 69 3 78 3 79 3 80 3 80 3 90 3 95 3 50 3 55 3 55 3 60 3 69 3 70 3 70 3 88 3 90 3 90 3 91 Before opening the data,…
