QUESTION 5 It was found that the mean annual turnover rate of the Aspirin medicine bottle is 23. The management think that the mean is changed. Therefore, a random sample of 93 is chosen that shows the average is 13 and the standard deviation is 6. Use 0.05 significance level to test this claim. Based on the above, the test statistic is equal to? (Round answer to two decimal places ex. 2.09)
A sample of 16 suburban hotels showed that the mean revenue is $1500 with a standard deviation of $300. Construct the 90% confidence interval for the true average revenue of all suburban hotels.

Consider the information above and in question 1. It is conjectured that the mean number of people attending all 2017 Veterans Day celebrations is 145, and of interest is to test this conjecture versus the alternative that the mean number of people attending all 2017 Veterans Day celebrations is different from 145 people To test the hypothesis, a simple random sample of 41 Veterans Day celebrations was selected and the number of people attending each was recorded. The mean number of people attending for this sample of 41 celebrations was 157, with a standard deviation of 23 people. The distribution of the data was bimodal. If appropriate, use this information to test the hypotheses stated in question 3 at the a= .05 level of significance. 4 Are the assumptions met? Yes, because there is a simple random sample Yes, because there is a simple random sample and the population is normally distributed Yes, because there is a simple random sample and the sample size is large enough for the…
What happens when you overfit a regression model? Question 25 options: The model captures too much of the random variation in the sample data and fails to predict accurately for the population. The p-value for the F-test of overall significance is greater than 0.05. So many variables are added to the model that the Adjusted {"version":"1.1","math":"<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><msup><mi>R</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></math>"} value exceeds 1 None of the relationships in the model are found to be statistically significant.

8. You extract approximately 5,000 observations from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and estimate the following regression function: AHE,=3.32 0.45 Age, (1.0) (0.04) where AHE is average hourly earnings in pounds, Age is the individual's age and the standard errors of the estimators are given in parentheses. Given the specification, your 95% confidence interval for the effect of increasing age by 5 years is approximately: A. [£1.96, £2.54] B. [-£2.58, -£1.92] C. [-£2.64, -£1.86] D. none of the above
(a) There are many situations in which we want to compare means from populations having standard deviations that are equal. This method applies even if the standard deviations are known to be only approximately equal. Consider a report regarding average incidence of fox rabies in two regions. For region I, n, = 14, x, = 4.75, and s, = 2.84 and for region II, n2 = 13, x2 = 3.95, and sz = 2.41. The two sample standard deviations are sufficiently close that we can assume o, = 0,. Use the method of pooled standard deviation to consider the report, testing if there is a difference in population mean average incidence of rabies at the 5% level of significance. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) It =

Question 6 "An electrical firm produces light bulbs that have a length of life that is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 660 hours and a population standard deviation of 25 hours. A new version of light bulbs is being produced and is assumed to be better than the previous version. To test this claim, a random sample of 92 new light bulbs are tested. Would you buy the new version of the light bulb or would you buy the older version if the random sample showed an average of 870 hours? Use a 0.05 level of significance." I will buy the older version until there is sufficient evidence to do otherwise. B I will buy the new version. C I will certainly buy the older version because I am 100% sure it is better. There is no sufficient data to make a sound conclusion.
