A restaurant chain has two locations in a medium-sized town and, believing that it has oversaturated the market for its food, is considering closing one of the restaurants. The manager of the restaurant with a downtown location claims that his restaurant generates more revenue than the sister restaurant by the freeway. The CEO of this company, wishing to test this claim, randomly selects 18 monthly revenue totals for each restaurant. The revenue data from the downtown restaurant have a mean of $364,000 and a standard deviation of $40,000, while the data from the restaurant by the freeway have a mean of $350,000 and a standard deviation of $41,000. Assume there i no reason to believe the population standard deviations are equal, and let uj and u2 denote the mean monthly revenue of the downtown restaurant and the restaurant by the freeway, respectively. Which of the following is the correct value of the test statistic to analyze the claim? Multiple Choice t33 = 1.011 t33 = 1.037 t31 = 1.037

15. Commercial real estate prices and rental rates suffered substantial declines in 2008 and 2009 (Newsweek, July 27, 2009). These declines were particularly severe in AsiaB annual lease rates in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore declined by 40% or more. Even with such large declines, annual lease rates in Asia were still higher than those in many cities in Europe. Annual lease rates for a sample of 30 commercial properties in Hong Kong showed a mean of $1,114 per square meter with a standard deviation of $230.
A researcher is interested in exploring the relationship between calcium intake and weight loss. Two different groups, each with 2626 dieters, are chosen for the study. Group A is required to follow a specific diet and exercise regimen, and also take a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day. Group B is required to follow the same diet and exercise regimen, but with no supplemental calcium. After six months on the program, the members of Group A had lost a mean of 10.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 2.6 pounds. The members of Group B had lost a mean of 11.7pounds with a standard deviation of 2.8 pounds during the same time period. Assume that the population variances are not the same. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the mean amounts of weight lost by dieters who supplement with calcium and those who do not. Let Population 1 be the amount of weight lost by Group A, who took a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day, and let Population 2 be…
The president of a mid-sized state university has proposed lowering tuition rates in order to increase the school’s overall graduation rates (meaning she expects the two measures will be negatively associated with each other). She collects data on other similar universities, rating universities as “high” on tuition (above-average tuition costs) or “low” (below average tuition), as well as on their proportion of students who graduate in six years (categorizing with those graduating more than half of their students as “high” and those graduating fewer than half as “low”). A bivariate table with these data is below. Calculate the gamma and then write a sentence or two interpreting what it suggests about the relationship. Is there support for the president’s hypothesis? Graduation Rate by Tuition Rate Tuition Rate Graduation Rate Low High Totals Low 52 40 92 High 80 125 205 Totals 132 165 297
Three students, Linda, Tuan, and Javier, are given five laboratory rats each for a nutritional experiment. Each rat's weight is recorded in grams. Linda feeds her rats Formula A, Tuan feeds his rats Formula B, and Javier feeds his rats Formula C. At the end of a specified time period, each rat is weighed again, and the net gain in grams is recorded. Using a significance level of 10%, test the hypothesis that the three formulas produce the same mean weight gain. (Let 1 = Linda's rats, 2 = Tuan's rats and 3 = Javier's rats.)

A national study conducted by a market research firm, evaluated the top technology companies and their reputations. The following shows how 10 technology companies ranked in reputation and how the companies ranked in percentage of respondents who said they would purchase the company's stock. A positive rank correlation is anticipated because it seems reasonable to expect that a company with a higher reputation would have the more desirable stock to purchase. Company Company A Company B Company C Company D Company E Company F Company G Company Hi Company I Company J Ho: Ps ≤0 Ha: Ps > 0 O Ho: P₂ > 0 H₂: Ps = 0 Reputation Stock Purchase O Ho: Ps+0 Ha: Ps = 0 1 O Ho: Ps 20 Ha: Ps <0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 3 1 4 2 9 5 10 6 (a) Compute the rank correlation between reputation and stock purchase.

A particular cookie company has a double-feature box of cookies. These boxes come with two types of cookies; oatmeal raisin and chocolate-chip. However, the proportion of cookies of each type varies. A data analyst working for the company wonders if there is a tendency for the boxes to have more of one type of cookie than the other. In order to investigate, he selects 72 boxes of the double-feature oatmeal raisin/choc-chip cookies and counts the number of each type of cookie. He finds out that, in his sample of 72 boxes, the proportion of chocolate chip cookies is 0.22. What is the standard deviation of the sampling proportion for the proportion of chocolate chip cookies? Note: 1- Round your final answer to 3 decimal places. Enter your final answer with 3 decimal places. 2-If standard deviation cannot be calculated, standard error is created in its place.

A researcher uses matched-subjects design to investigate whether single people with pets vary in their happiness level compared to singles without pets. A mood inventory survey is given to a group of 20- to 29-year-old non-pet owners and a similar age group of pet owners. The pet owners are matched one to one with the non-pet owners for income, number of close friendships, and general health. Is there a significant difference in the mood scores for non-pet owners versus pet owners. Test with a =.05 for two tails.
