John Calipari, head basketball coach for the 2012 national champion University of Kentucky Wildcats, is the highest paid coach in college basketball with an annual salary of $5.4 million (as of March 29, 2012). It is thought that basketball coaches' salaries are fairly varied with a mean of 2 million dollars but the NCAA suggests that the mean of coaches' salaries is more than 2 million dollars and wants to use data to support that.

The mean annual salary of (public) classroom teachers is $55.4 thousand. A hypothesis test is to be performed to decide whether the mean annual salary of classroom teachers in Ohio is greater than the national mean. What is the classification of the hypothesis test?
The average chef at a restaurant earns $17 an hour with a deviation of $1.75. What are the chances that someone is earning more than $20 an hour?
A manager wishes to determine whether the mean times number of sick days differ for three levels of employees. He randomly selected 10 employees within each level (Hourly, Salaried, and Management).

According to a dietary study. high sodium in take may be related to ucers. stomach cancer. and migraine headaches. The human requirement for salt is only 220 milligrams per day. which is surpassed in most single servings of ready-to-eat cereals. If a random sample of 20 similar servings of a certain cereal has a mean sodium content of 244 milligrams and a standard devlation of 24.5 miligrams, does this suggest at 0.05 level of significance that the average sodlum content for a single serving of such cereal is greater than 220 milligrams? The p-value of the test statistic in 6 decimal places and the critical value in two decimal places is: example answer: 0.123456 and 1.23
The researcher believes that happy workers are more productive workers. So he administers a job satisfaction scale to 100 randomly selected workers at his company. He also gets measures of their work productivity from the HR department (number of customers served). What is the researcher’s alternative hypothesis? a. There will be a difference between job satisfaction and worker productivity. b. The correlation between job satisfaction and worker productivity will be greater than zero. c. The most satisfied workers will be less likely to leave the company. d. There will be no relationship between job satisfaction and worker productivity.
In a 2015 study entitled How Undergraduate Students Use Credit Cards, it was reported that undergraduate students have a mean credit card balance higher than $3000. This figure was an all-time high and had increased 42% over the previous five years. Assume that a current study is being conducted to determine if it can be concluded that the mean credit card balance for undergraduate students has continued to increase compared to the report. They want to test to see if the balance for students in 2019 is higher than the balance for students in 2015. See the sample below of undergraduate students in 2015 and different undergraduate students in 2019. Credit Card Increase Students in 2015 Students in 2019 2500 3300 2200 5450 1500 8000 930 2000 5300 870 1150 250 2700 3000 3300 2200 What can we conclude from this t-test? a) Reject the null hypotesis OR Fail to reject the null hypotesis? b) We can conclude that the student balance in 2019 are significatly…
A consumer response team hears directly from consumers about the challenges they face in the marketplace, brings their concerns to the attention of financial institutions, and assists in addressing their complaints. The consumer response team accepts complaints related to mortgages, bank accounts and services, private student loans, other consumer loans, and credit reporting. An analysis of complaints over time indicates that the mean number of credit reporting complaints registered by consumers is 3.95 per day. Assume that the number of credit reporting complaints registered by consumers is distributed as a Poisson random variable. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. What is the probability that on a given day, no credit reporting complaints will be registered by consumers? = 0.0193 b. What is the probability that on a given day, exactly one credit reporting complaint will be registered by consumers? = 0.0761 c. What is the probability that on a given day, more…
According to the most recent General Social Survey, 70% of adults watch TV nightly. A researcher believes that the proportion of college students who watch TV nightly is less than this. To test this claim the research samples 400 college students and finds that 276 watch TV nightly. At the 0.05 level of significance does this data provide evidence to suggest that the proportion of college students who watch TV nightly is less than 70%?
A study reported on essential organic molecules and a Normal model can be used to describe these levels in adults. If the mean is 194 mg/dL and a standard deviation is 28, complete the following questions. a) Draw and label the Normal model. b) What percent of adults do you expect to have this essential organic molecule, cholesterol, levels over 210 mg/dL? c) What percent of adults do you expect to have cholesterol levels between 150 and 170 mg/dL? d) Estimate the interquartile range of cholesterol levels.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) collects data on wait time at each of its airport security checkpoints. For flights departing from Terminal 3 at John F.

Home values tend to increase over time under normal conditions, but the recession of 2008 and 2009 has reportedly caused the sales price of existing homes to fall nationwide (Businessweek, March 9, 2009). You would like to see if the data support this conclusion. The file HomePrices contains data on 30 existing home sales in 2006 and 40 existing home sales in 2009.a) Provide a point estimate of the difference between the population mean prices for the two years.b) Develop a 99% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the resale prices of houses in 2006 and 2009.c) Would you feel justified in concluding that resale prices of existing homes have declined from 2006 to 2009?

The Energy Star rating system is an energy efficiency program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)Energy Star certified appliances, such as televisions and refrigerators, are rated in regard to their average energy consumption per year. A certain brand of Energy Star certified refrigerator is stated to have a mean yearly electricity cost of $99. A consumer advocacy organization believes that this claim is wrong, that the energy consumption of this particular refrigerator is different than $99 per year. The group collected a random sample of 16 refrigerators of the model in question and had each lab-tested for electricity consumption. The yearly energy consumption of each is given below. 96.7697.898.67 95.52 97.8 95.896.9299.57 97.64 95.46 98.03 96.42 99.32 98.99 95.2197.12 Using alpha = 0.1 , test the hypothesis that the average yearly electricity consumption of the refrigerator in question is different than $99 per year.
