During the COVID-19 pandemic, drive-up grocery delivery became very popular with customers. Two US retailers that provide this service are Target and Walmart. Many shoppers prefer to order from only one store to save time, but they wonder if they are spending more money shopping at one store rather than both. The data file Snacks has the prices for 20 identical snack items sold at both retailers in Mankato, Minnesota. Assume that µd is the mean difference (Target - Walmart) in the price of the items. Using α = .05, determine whether or not the price of these grocery items differed significantly. Perform your analysis using MegaStat. Download: Snacks a. What type of analysis should you use to analyze this data? Explain the reason for your choice. b. State the hypotheses for this analysis. c. Calculate the degrees of freedom for this analysis. d. State the Decision Rule for this analysis. e. Perform the analysis and identify the mean price of the Target items, the mean price of the…
Noise pollution is measured in decibels. In California any motorcycle made after 1980 may not be any louder than 80 decibels. Harley Davidson claims their mean decibel rating on bikes is 70 with a variance of 10. The variance of the noise is questioned. Just because Harley has a mean that is less than 80, they could still be producing louder than acceptable bikes. The federal EPA conducts a sample of 30 bikes and determines the variance to be 20 decibels. Is there enough evidence to question Harley’s claim of 10 decibels?
A snow shovel manufacturer is considering a new shovel with small holes punched in it, thought to reduce energy expenditure of the user. The data in the Problem 4 tab provides information for 13 workers using both the conventional shovel and the perforated shovel. Does the data suggest that the energy expenditure of the perforated shovel is lower than that of the conventional shovel? Does the data suggest that the variance of the two shovels is different?
Suppose a car's city miles per gallon rating can be determined by the car's weight. The means and standard deviations of these variables and the correlation coefficient between them are reported in the following table: What proportion of the variability in cars' miles per gallon ratings is explained by the least squares line with weight?
Earlier this semester, we learned to use 2-Sample-TTest to compare the population means of two independent populations. One-way ANOVA is more powerful because it could compare the population means of three or more independent populations. However, use of one-way ANOVA also requires the assumption that the populations have the same variance. In this exercise, we will compare and contrast One-way ANOVA and 2-Sample-TTest. With the 2-Sample- TTEST, we will first choose 'No' for the pooled variances option, then re-run the test while choosing 'Yes' for the pooled variances option. Use the following data to complete these tasks. Depending on if you choose to do this by hand or using code, use the data format that suits you best - LONG form on top or WIDE form on bottom.

In a research setting, the efficiency of homecare workers (part-time and full-time) were compared. Data is given below. Is there a difference between full-time and part-time homecare workers?

Actuaries use various parameters when evaluating the cost of a life insurance policy. The variance of the life spans of a population is one of the parameters used for the evaluation. Each year, the actuaries at a particular insurance company randomly sample 30 people who died during the year (with the samples chosen independently from year to year) to see whether the variance of life spans has changed. The life span data from this year and from last year are summarized below. Current Last Year Year x1 = 75.8 | x,= 76.2 si= 47.61 s3= = 92.16 (The first row gives the sample means and the second row gives the sample variances.) Assume that life spans are approximately normally distributed for each of the populations of people who died this year and people who died last year. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 significance level, that the variance of the life span for the current year, of, differs from the variance of the life span for last year, o,? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the…
Recent evidence suggests that graduating from college during bad economic times can impact the graduate's earning power for a long time (Financial Times, June 1, 2012). An associate dean at a prestigious college wants to determine if the starting salary of his college graduates has declined from 2008 to 2010. He expects the variance of the salaries to be different between these two years. The data are shown in the accompanying table and are contained in the accompanying Excel file. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) Let Sample 1 be the sample of the starting salary of college graduates in 2008 and Sample 2 be the sample of the starting salary of college graduates in 2010. a. Specify the competing hypotheses that determine whether the starting salary of college graduates has declined from 2008 to 2010. (Which one is correct) H0: μ1 − μ2 = 0; HA: μ1 − μ2 ≠ 0 H0: μ1 − μ2 ≥ 0; HA: μ1 − μ2 < 0 H0: μ1 − μ2 ≤ 0; HA: μ1 − μ2 >…
Part 1. .If b = 0.523, then for every 1 unit increase in the independent variable, there is a 0.523 unit increase in the dependent variable. True or false? 2. .If b = .704, then 70.4% of the variance in the dependent variable can be explained by the variance in the independent variable. In contrast, 29.6% of the variance in the dependent variable can be explained by outside factors. True or false? 3. .If r = 0.444, then for every 1 unit increase in the independent variable, there is a 0.444 unit increase in the dependent variable. True or false?
A research firm regularly conducts customer satisfaction surveys for an amusement park. A survey of 200 randomly selected park visitors on a weekday in May concluded the average age of visitors to the park was 39 years. When the survey was repeated with 200 randomly selected park visitors on a Saturday in May, the average age of visitors to the park was determined to be 17 years. Does the information represents a quantitative or qualitative variable? What is the age of the visitor? Does the visitor have a season pass?
