### Understanding Salary Expectations for Sociology GraduatesSociology graduates, upon entering the workforce, earn a mean salary of $30,000. This salary distribution is normally distributed with a standard deviation of $4,000. Two example problems below help illustrate how we can use this information to answer questions about salary expectations:#### Example Problem 1**Jessica's Salary Aspirations:**Jessica is an honors sociology student. Upon graduation, she would like to take a job that starts at $40,000. What is the probability that a randomly chosen salary exceeds $40,000?#### Example Problem 2**Sam's Salary Concern:**Sam is not sure how much he will make upon graduation. He would be happy if his salary was in the middle 60% of all sociology graduates' salaries. Find the two salaries that are the cutoff values for the middle 60% of salaries. These problems help students apply their understanding of normal distributions to real-world scenarios involving salary expectations.#### Solving the ProblemsTo solve these problems, knowledge of the properties of the normal distribution and the Z-score table is required. For Jessica's problem, one would need to find the probability that a salary exceeds a certain value, while for Sam's problem, it involves finding the range of salaries that encompass the middle 60%.These exercises can serve as practical applications of statistics in the social sciences, helping students to anticipate and plan for their financial futures based on educational outcomes.

From the provided information, Mean (µ) = $30,000 Standard deviation (σ) = $4000 Let X be a random…

Beef Consumption. According to Food Consumption, Prices, and Expenditures, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the mean consumption of beef per person in 2011 was 57.5 lb. A sample of 40 people taken this year yielded the data, in pounds, on last year’s beef consumption given on the WeissStats site. Use the technology of your choice to do the following. a. Obtain a normal probability plot, a boxplot, a histogram, and a stem-and-leaf diagram of the data on beef consumptions. b. Decide, at the 5% significance level, whether last year’s mean beef consumption is less than the 2011 mean of 57.5 lb. Apply the onemean t-test. c. The sample data contain four potential outliers: 0, 0, 0, and 13. Remove those four observations, repeat the hypothesis test in part (b), and compare your result with that obtained in part (b). d. Assuming that the four potential outliers are not recording errors, comment on the advisability of removing them from the sample data before performing the…
