You gather data from two local churches about the average offering (a monetary donation to the church)that is collected at a weekly service. You want to see whether the average offering given at one churchis the same as the average offering at another church. The number of people who attend Church 1 is201, and the average amount offered is $12.50. The number of people who attend Church 2 is 350, andthe average amount offered is $11.87. The sample standard deviations for Church 1 and Church 2 are$3.15 and $4.57, respectively. (a) What is the hypothesis you want to test? (b) Calculate the test statistic and test your hypothesis at the 95 and 99 percent confidence levels. (c) Pretend that the sample means and standard deviations remain the same, but that the numberof people sampled at Church 2 was 201 instead of 350. Does your test-statistic change? Does the critical value change?

In 2016 the Better Business Bureau settled 82% of complaints they received in the United States. Suppose you have been hired by the Better Business Bureau to investigate the complaints they received this year involving new car dealers. You plan to select a sample of new car dealer complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Better Business Bureau is able to settle. Assume the population proportion of complaints settled for new car dealers is 0.82, the same as the overall proportion of complaints settled in 2016. Use the z-table. a. Suppose you select a sample of 200 complaints involving new car dealers. Show the sampling distribution of p. E(p) = (to 2 decimals) 0 = (to 4 decimals) b. Based upon a sample of 200 complaints, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.06 of the population proportion (to 4 decimals)? probability = c. Suppose you select a sample of 440 complaints involving new car dealers. Show the sampling distribution of p. E(p) = (to…
