Is there a difference between the variances of the number of weeks on the best seller lists for notification and fiction books? Fifteen "New York Times" best selling fiction books had standard deviation of 6.17 weeks on the list. Sixteen "New York Times" best selling books had a standard deviation of 13.12 weeks. At the 10% significance level, can we conclude, there is a difference in the variances?

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.

Fuel efficiency of Prius: Fueleconomy.gov, the official US government source for fuel economy information, allows users to share gas mileage information on their vehicles. The histogram below shows the distribution of gas mileage in miles per gallon (MPG) from 14 users who drive a 2012 Toyota Prius. The sample mean is 53.3 MPG and the standard deviation is 5.2 MPG. Note that these data are user estimates and since the source data cannot be verified, the accuracy of these estimates are not guaranteed. (a) The EPA claims that a 2012 Prius gets 50 MPG (city and highway mileage combined). Do these data provide strong evidence against this estimate for drivers who participate on fueleconomy.gov? The test statistic is: __________________(please round to two decimal places)The p-value:___________________________ for this hypothesis test is: (please round to four decimal places)(c) Please comment on the primary thing that is wrong about the following statement: There is sufficient evidence…

4. The cost of a daily newspaper varies from city to city. However, the variation among prices remains steady with a standard deviation of 18¢. A study was done to test the claim that the mean cost of a daily newspaper is $1.00. Twelve costs yield a mean cost of 93¢ with a standard deviation of 17¢. Do the data support the claim at the 1% level?
