An information technology help desk has a service level agreement (SLA) that says that clients should be contacted about their service requests within 1 hour (60 minutes) of the help desk receiving the request. Jackie, the help desk manager, wants to check if the help desk is actually taking longer than 60 minutes to respond. For a random sample of 20 service requests, Jackie obtained the time between the help desk receiving the request and the client being contacted. The marketer conducts a one-mean hypothesis at the 5% significance level, to test whether the response time is greater than 60 minutes. (a) Which answer choice shows the correct null and alternative hypotheses for this test? Select the correct answer below: H0:μ=20; Ha:μ<20, which is a left-tailed test. H0:μ=60; Ha:μ<60, which is a left-tailed test. H0:μ=20; Ha:μ>20, which is a right-tailed test. H0:μ=60; Ha:μ>60, which is a right-tailed test.

The researcher believes that happy workers are more productive workers. So he administers a job satisfaction scale to 100 randomly selected workers at his company. He also gets measures of their work productivity from the HR department (number of customers served). What is the researcher’s alternative hypothesis? a. There will be a difference between job satisfaction and worker productivity. b. The correlation between job satisfaction and worker productivity will be greater than zero. c. The most satisfied workers will be less likely to leave the company. d. There will be no relationship between job satisfaction and worker productivity.
A credit score is used by credit agencies (such as mortgage companies and banks) to assess the creditworthiness of individuals. Values range from 300 to 850, with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey, the mean credit score is 703.7. A credit analyst wondered whether high-income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 41 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 715.6 with a standard deviation of 82.5. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the a= 0.05 level of significance. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

A marketing agency wanted to determine if a new commercial changed people's opinion about a company. They recruited n=30 participants to watch the commercial. First, everyone was givien a survey to determine their attitudes toward the company. Then, everyone watched the new commercial. Finally, they were given the same survey again and asked about their attitudes toward the comapny after seeing the commercial. The agency wanted to see if attitudes were changed by the commercial. What statistical test should they use?
A local bank has three branch offices. The bank has a liberal sick leave policy, and the CEO was concerned with employees taking advantage of this policy. She thought that the tendency to take advantage depended on the branch at which the employee worked. To see if there were differences in the time employees took for sick leave, she asked each branch manager to sample employees randomly and record the number of days of sick leave taken during 2020. Ten employees were chosen, and the data are listed below. Do this data indicate a difference in branches? Use a level of significance of 0.05.

Suppose you work as a manager for a large clothing store. You are considering introducing a loyalty program to encourage customers to spend more at your store. Before rolling out your program to the public, you want to do a small experiment to estimate its effectiveness. You offer the loyalty program to 10 random customers, and also observed the sales of 27 random customers who did not get the program as a control group. The customers that were part of the loyalty program had average monthly sales of $302.57 and a sample standard deviation of $49.73. For the control group, the customers had an average monthly sales of $231.65 and a sample standard deviation of $67.88. * Given a 95% confidence interval critical value of t = 2.04, what is the upper bound (upper end) of a 95% confidence interval for the difference between two averages? Use (μloyalty program no loyalty program) for the order. Note: 1- Only round your final answer. Round your final answer to two decimal places.
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…
A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…

At BYU-Idaho there has been a lot of interest in the performance of students in online classes. Generally, administrators are interested to know if there is a difference in the learning of students who take an online course compared to those who take a traditional course. A study was done to see if the grade received in the course is related to the type of course. Researchers collected the grades of randomly selected students who were taking a traditional Business Statistics class and compared those with the grades earned by randomly selected students who were taking an online Business Statistics class. The data are shown in the table below. Grade A B с D F You want to determine if a student's grade and the type of course he or she is enrolled in are independent. Use a level of significance of a = 0.01. State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test. O Ho: Traditional and online courses are not independent.
