In a sample of 10,000 US employees, 1,530 said that working from home was worse than working in the office. (Data from Becher Freidman Institute for Economics, reported by Stephanie Stamm, “Is a Home Office More Productive? Some Workers Think So,” The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2021, pg. B=2). Use this information to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all US adults who find that working at home was worse. What is the UPPER confidence limit?

For many years businesses have struggled with the rising cost of health care. But recently, the increases have slowed due to less inflation in health care prices and employees paying for a larger portion of health care benefits. A recent Mercer survey showed that 52% of U.S. employers were likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage. Suppose the survey was based on a sample of 800 companies. Compute the margin of error and a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of companies likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage.
A prospective MBA student would like to examine the factors that impact starting salary upon graduation and decides to develop a model that uses program per-year tuition as a predictor of starting salary. Data were collected for 37 full-time MBA programs offered at private universities. The data are stored in the accompanying table. The least-squares regression equation for these data is Y₁ = - 13,863.426 +2.437X, and the standard error of the estimate is Syx = 15,910.578. Assume that the straight-line model is appropriate and there are no serious violations the assumptions of the least-squares regression model. Complete parts (a) and (b) below Click the icon to view the data on program per-year tuition and mean starting salary a. At the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence of a linear relationship between the starting salary upon graduation and program per-year tuition? Determine the hypotheses for the test. Ho B₁ = D H₁ P₁ #0 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)…
Duke Energy reported that the cost of electricity for an efficient home in a particular neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, was $104 per month. A researcher believes that the cost of electricity for a comparable neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois, is higher. A sample of homes in this Chicago neighborhood will be taken and the sample mean monthly cost of electricity will be used to test the following null and alternative hypotheses. Assume the sample data lead to rejection of the null hypothesis. What would be your conclusion about the cost of electricity in the Chicago neighborhood? What is the Type I error in this situation? What are the consequences of making this error? What is the Type II error in this situation? What are the consequences of making this error?
Firms compensate workers with “benefits” in addition to wages and salaries. The most prominent benefit offered by many firms is health insurance. Suppose that in 2010, workers at one steel plant were paid $40 per hour and in addition received health benefits at the rate of $8 per hour. Also suppose that by 2020 workers at that plant were paid $42 per hour but received $36 in health insurance benefits. Instructions: Enter your answers rounded to 1 decimal place. a. By what percentage did total compensation (wages plus benefits) change at this plant from 2010 to 2020? Total compensation DECREASE / INCREASE by _______ %. What was the approximate average annual percentage change in total compensation? _____ % b. By what percentage did wages change at this plant from 2010 to 2020? Wages DECREASE / INCREASE by ________ %. What was the approximate average annual percentage change in wages? __________ % c. If workers value a dollar of health…
A researcher wants to estimate the average monthly income of individuals in a certain city. A random sample of 20 individuals is selected, and their monthly incomes (in dollars) are recorded as follows: 2,500 2,800 3,000 3,200 3,400 3,500 3,600 4,100 4,200 4,300 4,500 4,600 4,700 4,900 3,700 3,800 4,000 5,000 5,200 5,500 Assuming the incomes are normally distributed, calculate the 90% confidence interval for the average monthly income of individuals in the city.. Please show all the necessary steps and provide your answer with the appropriate interpretation. Hints: • Calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation. . Determine the critical value (t-value) for a 90% confidence level. • Calculate the margin of error using the critical value and sample standard deviation. • Calculate the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval using the sample mean and margin of error. • Interpret the confidence interval in the context of the problem.

A study of homeowners in the 5th congressional district in Maryland found that their annual household incomes are normally distributed with a mean of $41,182 and a standard deviation of $11,990 (based on data from Nielsen Media Research). a. What percentage of household incomes are greater than $30,000?b. What percentage of household incomes are between $25,000 and $40,000?c.

The results of a national survey showed that on average, adults sleep 6.9 hours per night. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.2 hours and that the number of hours of sleep follows a bell-shaped distribution. a. Use the empirical rule to calculate the percentage of individuals who sleep between 4.5 and 9.3 hours per day. b. What is the z-value for an adult who sleeps 8 hours per night? c. What is the z-value for an adult who sleeps 6 hours per night?
The Economic Policy Institute periodically issues reports on wages of entry-level workers. The institute reported that entry-level wages for male college graduates were $21.68 per hour and for female college graduates were $18.80 per hour in 2011. Assume that the standard deviation for male graduates is $2.30, and for female graduates it is $2.05. What is the sampling distribution of for a random sample of 50 male college graduates? What is the sampling distribution of for a random sample of 50 female college graduates? In which of the preceding two cases, part (a) or part (b), is the standard error of smaller? Why?

The Paymore Rental Car Agency rents cars in a small town. It wants to determine how many rental cars it should maintain. Based on market projections and historical data, the manager has determined probability distributions for the number of rentals per day and rental duration (in days only) as shown in the following tables: Number of customers per day Probability 0 .20 1 .20 2 .50 3 .10 Rental duration in days Probability 1 .10 2 .30 3 .40 4 .10 5 .10 Design a simulation experiment for the car agency and simulate using a fleet of four rental cars for 10 days. Compute the probability that the agency will not have a car available upon demand. Should the agency expand its fleet? Explain how a simulation experiment could be designed to determine the optimal fleet size for the Paymore Agency. Use the following random numbers in order (from left to right) for the simulation of number of customers per day: 0.62 0.48 0.96 0.86 0.86 0.29 0.79 0.22 0.08 0.62…
