A polling company contends that an agent conducts a mean of 53 in-depth home surveys every week. A streamlined survey form has been introduced, and the company wants to evaluate its effectiveness. The number of in-depth surveys conducted during a week by a random sample of agents are: 53 57 50 55 58 54 60 52 59 62 60 60 51 59 56 If we want to test at the .05 level of significance, whether the mean number of interviews conducted by the agents is more than 53 per week, which of the following findings would be correct? Select one: a. The test statistic, critical value are 1.034 and 1.761 respectively and the decision is not to reject the Ho. b.The test statistic, critical value are 3.667 and 1.761 respectively and the decision is to reject the Ho. c.

2. Scores in the first and fourth (final) rounds for a sample of 20 golfers who competed in PGA tournaments are shown in the following table (Golfweek, February 14, 2009, and February 28, 2009). Suppose you would like to determine if the mean score for the first round of a PGA Tour event is significantly different than the mean score for the fourth and final round. Does the pressure of playing in the final round cause scores to go up? Or does the increased player concentration cause scores to come down?

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.
