Chapter 11 A lawsuit was being filed against Facebook since an employee claimed that men were making more than the women. To see if this was true, a random sample of 100 male employees was randomly selected and it was found that the weekly salary was $710 with a standard deviation of $44. They also randomly selected 125 female employees and found that the mean weekly salary was $695 with a standard deviation of $25. Does this data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean salary for male employees working at Facebook is higher than the mean salary for the female employees?

A company has rolled out a new process for sales people to use. They were able to go back into the company records and pull all sales data from before the roll out. Each sales person when they closed a sale had an average contract of $108 with a standard deviation of $12. During the first month after the roll out, a sample of sales showed the average contract was $116. Which statistical test could be used to see if this was a significant increase in contract size?
A student earned a 79 on a precalculus exam, and she earned a 92 on a statistics exam. The precalculus exam had a mean score of 72.3 with a standard deviation of 8.4. On the other hand, the statistics exam had a mean score of 87.4 with a standard deviation of 11.4. Determine which exam the student earned a better score on with respect to her peers.
Carlos and Devon both accepted new jobs at different companies. Carlos's starting salary is $32,000 and Devon's starting salary is $33,000. They are curious to know who has a better starting salary when compared to the salary distributions of their new employers. A website that collects salary information from a sample of employees for a number of major employers reports that Carlos's company offers a mean salary of $54,000 with a standard deviation of $6,000. Devon's company offers a mean salary of $44,000 with a standard deviation of $4,000. Find the z-scores corresponding to each of their starting salaries. Round to two decimal places, if necessary
Imagine my business owns two cars and I have to fill the tanks of both cars every week. One car, the smaller one, takes on average $30 to fill the tank with gas with a standard deviation of $3. The other car, the larger one, takes on average $55 to fill the tank with gas with a standard deviation of $4. 1. What is the average amount my business spends on gas each week for these two cars? Put your answer in blank #1. 2. What is the standard deviation on the amount my business spends on gas for these two cars each week? Show your work on paper and put your answer in blank #2.
Suppose you've just been hired as a statistics professor, but you've never taught undergrads before. While you're doing your best, you're not sure you're fully up to par with all the other excellent statistics professors out there. You decide to look at your 41 students' grades on their midterm exam. They averaged grades of 81 on this exam, with a standard deviation of 10. You reason that if they're higher than normal, you might be making things too easy for them. Likewise, if they're lower than normal, you might be making things too hard. Seeking a Goldilocks effect, you compare this with the national average of statistics midterm exam scores - this is 79. BEING SPECIFIC, what kind of statistical analysis should you perform, and WHY? Three parts of your answer will factor into the grade on this answer: the type of statistical test, one specific aspect of this test (hint- see the earlier questions), and your explanation as to why.
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. Terry had a better year because of a higher z-score. OB. Karen had a better year because of a lower z-score. OC. Terry had a better year because of a lower z-score. O D.

The National Coalition on Healthcare suggests that the mean annual premium that a health insurer charges an employer for a health plan covering a family of four averaged $13,000 in 2009. A sample of 30 families of four yields a mean annual premium paid by their employer to be $13,500 with a sample standard deviation of $300. We are interested in whether the mean annual premium that a health insurer charges an employer for a health plan covering a family of four is different from $13,000 using a significance level of 0.10. Select one: a. tdata = 9.129, do not reject Ho. b. tdata = 9.129, reject Ho. c. tdata = -9.129, do not reject Ho. O d. tdata = 4.156, reject Ho.
You are interested in seeing whether emotions impact decision making. You have three groups--a happy group, a sad group, and a neutral group. For the happy group there are 5 participants and the mean risky decision making score 5.0 with a standard deviation of 0.7. For the sad group there are 5 participants and the mean risky decision making score 5.4 with a standard deviation of 1.1. For the neutral group there are 5 participants and the mean risky decision making score 5.8 with a standard deviation of 2.8. The sum of squares between samples is equal to 1.6. The sum of squares within samples is equal to 38.0. You calculated the f-ratio above. The corresponding p-value for the f-ratio you calculated is p = 0.78. Is this finding significant?
. Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, the Creel Survey reported that of a random sample of 49 fish caught, themean length was ?̅= 18.5 inches, with estimated standard deviation ? = 3.2 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05.a. Do we use a Normal or a Student’s t- distribution? Explain. How many degrees of freedom do we use?b. What are the hypotheses?
A report about how American college students manage their finances includes data from a survey of college students. Each person in a representative sample of 793 college students was asked if they had one or more credit cards and if so, whether they paid their balance in full each month. There were 500 who paid in full each month. For this sample of 500 students, the sample mean credit card balance was reported to be $825. The sample standard deviation of the credit card balances for these 500 students was not reported, but for purposes of this exercise, suppose that it was $205. Is there convincing evidence that college students who pay their credit card balance in full each month have a mean balance that is lower than $907, the value reported for all college students with credit cards? Carry out a hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.01. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. H0: ? = 907 Ha: ? < 907 H0: ? = 907 Ha: ? > 907 H0: ? < 907…

The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation is fast becoming a requirement for serious investment professionals. It is an attractive alternative to getting an MBA for students wanting a career in investment. A student of finance is curious to know if a CFA designation is a more lucrative option than an MBA. He collects data on 38 recent CFAs with a mean salary of $138,000 and a standard deviation of $34,000. A sample of 80 MBAs results in a mean salary of $130,000 with a standard deviation of $46,000.a) Specify the hypotheses to test whether a CFA designation is more lucrative than an MBA.b) Calculate the value of the test statistic and the p-value. Do not assume that the population variances are equal.c) At the 5% significance level, is a CFA designation more lucrative than an MBA?
