A shareholders' group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 9 years. A survey of 91 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 7.6 years for CEOS with a standard deviation of s = 4.5 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don't know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed. You want to formulate and test a hypothesis that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the group, at a significance level of a = 0.001. Your hypotheses are: H: μΣ 9 Ha:µ < 9 What is the test statistic for this sample? test statistic = (Report answer accurate to 3 decimal places.)

One year Terry had the lowest ERA (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings pitched) of any male pitcher at his school, with an ERA of 3.02. Also, Karen had the lowest ERA of any female pitcher at the school with an ERA of 3.24. For the males, the mean ERA was 4.364 and the standard deviation was 0.639. For the females, the mean ERA was 3.801 and the standard deviation was 0.959 Find their respective z-scores. Which player had the better year relative to their peers, Terry or Karen? (Note: In general, the lower the ERA, the better the pitcher.) Terry had an ERA with a z-score of Karen had an ERA with a z-score of (Round to two decimal places as needed) Which player had a better year in comparison with their peers? OA.

A shareholders' group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 9 years. A survey of 120 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 7.3 years for CEOS with a standard deviation of s = 5.8 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don't know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed.

In a school district, all sixth grade students take the same standardized test. The superintendant of the school district takes a random sample of 30 scores from all of the students who took the test. She sees that the mean score is 169 with a standard deviation of 7.0674. The superintendant wants to know if the standard deviation has changed this year. Previously, the population standard deviation was 13. Is there evidence that the standard deviation of test scores has decreased at the α=0.005 level? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step 4: Make a decision. Is it reject Null hypothesis or Fail to reject Null hypothesis? Step 5: What is the conclusion? Is there sufficient evidence or there is not sufficient evidence to show that the standard deviation of the test scores has decreased?
An article in the San Jose Mercury News stated that students in the California state universitysystem take 4.25 years, on average, to finish their undergraduate degrees. Suppose you believe that the mean time is longer. You conduct a survey of 64 students and obtain a sample mean of 4.5 with a sample standard deviation of 1.5. Do the data support your claim at the 1% level?
Average adult Americans are about one inch taller but nearly a whopping 25 pounds heavier than they were in 1960, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). City A is considered one of America's healthiest cities. Is the weight gain since 1960 similar in city A? A sample of n=25 adults suggested a mean increase of 22 pounds with a standard deviation of 9.4 pounds. Is City A significantly different in terms of weight gain since 1960?

The Social Insight Test evaluates how accurately the subject appraises other people. From 500 people, scores were found to be normally distributed with a mean of 28 and a standard deviation of 6. About how many people got a score below 23?
In Professor Friedman's economics course the correlation between the students' total scores prior to the final examination and their final-examination scores is r = 0.5. The pre-exam totals for all students in the course have mean 275 and standard deviation 38. The final-exam scores have mean 75 and standard deviation 6. Professor Friedman has lost Julie's final exam but knows that her total before the exam was 290. He decides to predict her final-exam score from her pre-exam total. (a) What is the slope of the least-squares regression line of final-exam scores on pre-exam total scores in this course? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) What is the intercept? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (b) Use the regression line to predict Julie's final-exam score. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) -2 (c) Julie doesn't think this method accurately predicts how well she did on the final exam. Use r² to argue that her actual score could have been much higher (or much…

During 2003 gasoline prices reached record high prices in 16 states United States (The Wall Street Journal, March 7, 2003). Two of the states affected were California and Florida. The American Automobile Association foundas sample mean price per gallon $2.04 in California and $1.72 per gallon in Florida. Use 40 as the sample size for California and 35 as the sample size for Florida. Suppose that previous studies indicate that the population standard deviation in California it is 0.10 and in Florida 0.08.a) Test at the 10% level the null hypothesis that the population means of the gasoline prices are equal against the alternative hypothesis that, on average, Gasoline is more expensive in California than in Florida.b) Find the p-value of this test.
