Mike Wilde is president of the teachers’ union for Otsego School District. In preparing for upcoming negotiations, he is investigating the salary structure of classroom teachers in the district. He believes there are three factors that affect a teacher’s salary: years of experience, a teaching effectiveness rating given by the principal, and whether the teacher has a master’s degree. A random sample of 20 teachers resulted in the following data. Salary ($ thousands), y Years of Experience, x1 Principal's Rating, x2 Master's Degree,* x3 31.1 8 35 0 33.6 5 43 0 29.3 2 51 1 43.0 15 60 1 38.6 11 73 0 45.0 14 80 1 42.0 9 76 0 36.8 7 54 1 48.6 22 55 1 31.7 3 90 1 25.7 1 30 0 30.6 5 44 0 51.8 23 84 1 46.7 17 76 0 38.4 12 68 1 33.6 14 25 0 41.8 8 90 1 30.7 4 62 0 32.8 2 80 1 42.8 8 72 0…

Ch6. "A carpet manufacturing company is comparing the tensile strengths of two different types of synthetic fiber. Synthetic fiber A used in manufacturing carpet has tensile strength that is normally distributed with mean 75 psi and standard deviation 12 psi, and synthetic fiber B has tensile strength that is 70 psi and standard deviation 12 psi. Random sample of nA = 16 and nB = 9 of fiber specimens are selected. Find the probability that the sample mean of fiber specimen A exceeds the sample mean of fiber specimen B by 4."
