Question 10 A catalog company administered a survey to determine how long customers were willing to wait on hold before ordering a product. The length of time was found to be a random variable best approximated by an exponential distribution with a mean equal to 3.5 minutes. What proportion of customers having to hold more than 5.0 minutes will hang up before placing an order? A) 0.2397 B) 0.5714 C) 0.4286 D) 0.7603

The price to earnings ratio (P/E) is an important tool in financial work. A random sample of 14 large U.S. banks (J. P. Morgan, Bank of America, and others) gave the following P/E ratios.† 24 16 22 14 12 13 17 22 15 19 23 13 11 18 The sample mean is x ≈ 17.1. Generally speaking, a low P/E ratio indicates a "value" or bargain stock. Suppose a recent copy of a magazine indicated that the P/E ratio of a certain stock index is μ = 19. Let x be a random variable representing the P/E ratio of all large U.S. bank stocks. We assume that x has a normal distribution and σ = 4.6. Do these data indicate that the P/E ratio of all U.S. bank stocks is less than 19? Use α = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? Compute the z value of the sample test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A researcher asked a group of 11 children to report on a 7-point Likert scale how sociable they feel first thing in the morning (low scores indicate not very sociable, high score indicate very sociable).

A researcher wants to know whether children with ADHD tend to watch more TV than children who are not diagnosed with the disorder. To examine this, a researcher obtains a sample of n = 36 children (ages 8 to 12 years) who have been diagnosed with ADHD. Each child is asked to keep a journal recording how much time each day is spent watching TV. The average for the sample is M = 4.9 hours/day. Assume that the average TV-watching time for the general population of 8-to-12-year-old children is µ = 4.1 hours/day with σ = 1.8. Is ADHD in children associated with an increased amount of TV-watching?
