Problem 8:Suppose that in past years the average purchase price per square foot for warehouse space in the United Stateshas been $32.28. A national real estate investor wants to determine whether that figure has changed. Theinvestor hires a researcher who randomly samples 19 warehouses that are for sale across the United States andfinds that the mean is $32.73. The population standard deviation is $1.29. Can the researcher conclude thatthe average purchase price per square foot has changed? Test at the 90% confidence level. For these problems you should complete the 8 steps of the hypothesis testing process.State the null and alternative hypotheses.Specify alpha (a) based on the confidence level indicated.Use alpha to develop the critical value that delineates the rejection region. Remember to use a/2for two-tailed tests. Draw the curve and indicate the rejection region.Use information from the problem to compute the test statisticCalculate P-value based on test statistic.1.2.3.4.5.a) If population standard deviation or proportion use Z or normal distribution tableOne tail: 0.5 – area in non cum table.Two tailed: PV = 2* (0.5- area in non cum table)b) If sample standard deviation use t table with df = n-1.PV will be a range..e.g. 0.025 to 0.05.Compare the test statistic to the critical value. Compare the P-value to alpha.Based on your comparisons identify your decision (i.e. reject null hypothesis Ho or fail to rejectnull hypothesis Ho). Reject the null hypothesis if the test statistic is in the rejection region.Reject the null hypothesis if the P-value is smaller than alpha. The outcome of the p-value andcritical value approach will always lead to the same decision.Indicate the conclusion for the scenario6.7.8.IF Reject Ho: at % (confidence level indicated) can conclude HaIF Fail to Reject Ho: at % (confidence level indicated) can NOT conclude Ha

The hypotheses of the test are given as follows: Null hypothesis: µ=32.28. Alternative hypothesis:…

Question 7 Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the typical manufacturing worker in Wisconsin in 1997 earned a weekly salary of $424.20. Suppose you wanted to see if this were true just in the far Southeastern portion of the state. You obtain a sample of tax returns for manufacturing workers in Racine and Kenosha for the year 1997. Your sample consists of 54 workers and has a mean weekly salary of $432.69 with a standard deviation of $33.90 At a 90% confidence level test the claim that manufacturing workers in Racine and Kenosha had the same salary as workers across the state. What will be your critical value? A) 1.645 B) 1.96 C) 2.33 D) 2.575
QUESTION 6 The Corner Drug Store fills prescriptions for a popular children's antibiotic, amoxicillin. The daily demand for amoxicillin is normally distributed, with a mean of 200 kilograms and a standard deviation of 80 kilograms. The vendor for the pharmaceutical firm that supplies the drug calls the drugstore pharmacist every 30 days to check the inventory of amoxicillin. During a call, the druggist indicated that the store had 60 kilograms of the antibiotic in stock. The lead time to receive an order is 4 days. a) Determine the order size that will enable the drugstore to maintain a 95% service level.
In a data set of wages of productivity lost during a recent recession, the distribution can be roughly described as unimodal and very left-skewed. Select the most appropriate conclusion from the list of statements. A. Calculating the midrange is much more tedious process than calculating the mean. B. The median of wages lost must be far lower than the mean of wages lost. C. The mean is the most representative measure of center for this data set. D. If there are extremely high lost wages present, the mean will not be sensitive to these data values.

Problem 6. A law student wants to check on her professor's claim that convicted embezzlers spend on average 12.6 months in jail. To test this statement, the student takes a random sample of 46 convicted embezzlers and finds that the average length of jail time for the sample is 11.7 months with a sample standard deviation of 3.6 months. Does this data indicate that the professor's statement was wrong? Use a = .05 level of significance to conduct the appropriate test. (Hint: Case II) a. State the null hypothesis. b. State the alternative hypothesis. c. Select test statistic and compute the test statistic value. d. Find the reject region (or the P-value) of your test and state your conclusion.
