Management of a company that produces a medical device has carefully selected and screened 220 finished items (packaged, ready to ship). The team agrees that the sample contains 33 defective items, all for various visual defects on the package such as crooked labels, poor seal, errant marks on package, etc. The items are then given to an inspector for classification into “defective” and “non-defective” piles. The inspector ends up rejecting 9 non-defective items, and accepting 11 defective items. The inspector

A survey was conducted among the employees of a certain company and they were asked about their weekly travel expenses. A random sample of 20 employees had the following answers: 120, 85, 94, 67, 112, 88, 92, 110, 125, 70, 83, 90, 84, 86, 94, 112, 92, 90, 78, 100 What is the mean weekly travel expenses of the 20 employees?
2. A researcher wants to measure the job satisfaction levels of the employees of two fast food company located in Manila. The researcher has used a questionnaire consisting of ten questions related to job satisfaction levels of the employees. The researcher has used a rating scale from 1 to 4 where 1 is the lowest score and 4 is the highest score. So, a maximum score of 40 and a minimum score of 10 can be obtained. The researcher has randomly selected 15 employees from the first company and 17 employees from the second company. The scores obtained from these employees are given below: First Company: 32 40 31 33 32 30 30 32 31 32 34 32 38 32 28 Second Company: 25 28 23 27 24 26 27 22 25 26 34 25 23 22 29 27 24 Taking 5% as the alpha level, examine the significant difference in terms of job satisfaction level between the employees of the two companies.
The State of Virginia has instituted a series of standards of learning (SOL) tests in math, history, English, and science that all high school students must pass with a grade of 70 before they are allowed to graduate and receive their diplomas. The school superintendent of Montgomery County believes the tests are unfair because the test scores are closely related to teacher salary and tenure (i.e., the years a teacher has been at a school). The superintendent has sampled 12 other county school systems in the state and accumulated the following data for average teacher salary and average teacher tenure: a. Using Excel or QM for Windows, develop the multiple regression equation for these data. b. What is the coefficient of determination for this regression equation? Do you think the superintendent is correct in his beliefs? c. Montgomery County has an average SOL score of 74, with an average teacher salary of $27,500 and an average teacher tenure of 7.8 years. The superintendent has…
