A travel company is investigating whether the average cost of a hotel stay in a certain city has increased over the past year. The company recorded the cost of a one-night stay for a Friday night in January of the current year and in the previous year for 31 hotels selected at random. The difference in cost (current year minus previous year) was calculated for each hotel. Which of the following is the appropriate test for the company's investigation? A A one-sample z-test for a population mean B A one-sample t-test for a sample mean A one-sample z-test for a population proportion D A matched-pairs t-test for a mean difference E A two-sample t-test for a difference between means

A researcher wanted to test whether there is a relationship between preferred sweet (Oreo cookies, Mars bars, or Twinkies) and age group (children, adolescents, or young adults). To test that, subjects from the three age groups were asked which of the three sweets they preferred. Which statistical test should be used to analyze the data? 1. chi square test of independece 2. chi square test for goodness of fit 3. one sample t test 4. one way anova test

In each of the following settings, decide whether you should use two-sample z procedures for a difference in proportions, two- sample t procedures for a difference in means, or paired t procedures for a mean difference.

He randomly selects 12 times between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and he and his assistant count the number of cars passing through each intersection during the 10- minute interval that begins at that time.

If sample data is such that for a one-tailed test of ? you can reject H0 at the 1% level of significance, can you always reject H0 for a two-tailed test at the same level of significance? Explain your answer? A. Yes. If H0 for a one-tailed test is rejected at the 1% level of significance, it will always be rejected for a two-tailed test at the same level of significance. B. No. If H0 for a one-tailed test is rejected at the 1% level of significance, it will never be rejected for a two-tailed test at the same level of significance. C. Yes. The P-value for the two-tailed test could be greater than 0.01. D. No. The P-value for the two-tailed test could be greater than 0.01.
An article compared five different methods for teaching descriptive statistics. The five methods were traditional lecture and discussion, programmed textbook instruction, programmed text with lectures computer instruction, and computer instruction with lectures. 60 students were randomly assigned, 12 to each method. After completing the course, students took a 1-hour exam. We are interested in finding out if the average test scores are different for the different teaching methods. The p-value of the test is 0.0372. What is the conclusion of the test if the level of significance is αα=0.10? There is enough evidence to conclude that all five group means are significantly different from each other. There is not enough evidence to conclude that all five group means are sigificantly different from one another. There is enough evidence to conclude that at least one group mean is significantly different from others. There is not enough evidence to conclude that at least one…

2. Jim Miller works in the personnel department for a car company. He is told by his supervisor to investigate the difference in the average number of sick days between blue collar workers and whitecollar workers. So he obtained a random sample of 9 blue collar workers and a random sample of 9 white collar workers. He records the results below.At 10% level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in mean sick days between blue collar workers and white collar workers.
