A researcher with the Ministry of Transportation is commissioned to study the drive times to work (one-way) for U.S. cities. The underlying hypothesis is that average commute times are different across cities. To test the hypothesis, the researcher randomly selects six people from each of the four cities and records their one-way commute times to work. Refer to the below data on one-way commute times (in minutes) to work. Note that the grand mean is 36.625.

In a small company, the median salary is significantly lower than the mean salary. What does this indicate about the salary distribution in the company? What might be some possible reasons for this pattern?
A study was undertaken to see how accurate food labeling for calories on food that is considered reduced calorie. The group measured the amount of calories for each item of food and then found the percent difference between the measured and labeled amount of calories. The group also looked at food that was nationally advertised, regionally distributed, or locally prepared. Do the data indicate that at least one of the mean percent differences between the three groups is different from the others? The data is summarized in the table below.

People often say “Distance makes the heart fonder.” Interestingly, due to pandemic related lockdowns, some persons have been implicitly or explicitly indicating that it is indeed true as they have been struggling with their relationships due to lack of time apart from their partner. A researcher who is interested in such an issue decided to collect data on the level of rage/edginess that exist among a few couples due to lockdowns. Participants were asked to rank the level of hostility they think they have been exerting towards their partner due to having to spend more time than they usually do with them. The resulting data is presented on page two (2). 2 *14 is the highest level of hostility. Level of hostility Number of partners 0-1 4 2-3 11 4-5 8 6-7 20 8-9 25 10-11 12 12-13 12 13-14 4 a.

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. In a study entitled How Undergraduate Students Use Credit Cards, it was reported that undergraduate students have a mean credit card balance of $3,173. This figure was an all-time high and had increased 44% over the previous five years. Assume that a current study is being conducted to determine if it can be concluded that the mean credit card balance for undergraduate students has continued to increase compared to the original report. Based on previous studies, use a population standard deviation ? = $1,000. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: ? < 3,173 Ha: ? ≥ 3,173 H0: ? = 3,173 Ha: ? ≠ 3,173 H0: ? > 3,173 Ha: ? ≤ 3,173 H0: ? ≥ 3,173 Ha: ? < 3,173 H0: ? ≤ 3,173 Ha: ? > 3,173 (b) What is the test statistic for a sample of 170 undergraduate students with a sample mean credit card balance of $3,305?

The dataset HollywoodMovies - 2e contains information on 970 movies that came out of Hollywood between 2007 and 2013. One of the variables is the budget (in millions of dollars) to make the movie. What would be the relevant parameter and statistic for this problem (think -- is this categorical or quantitative)? O u: The mean budget of all Hollywood Movies made between 2007 and 2013. O p: The average proportion of budgets of Hollywood Movies made between 2007 and 2013. T: The mean budget of all Hollywood Movies made between 2007 and 2013. Op: The proportion of Hollywood Movies made between 2007 and 2013.
