Suppose a recent random sample of employees nationwide who have a 401(k) retirement plan found that 22% of them had borrowed against it in the last year. A random sample of 100 employees from a local company who have a 401(k) retirement plan found that 19 had borrowed from their plan. Based on the sample results,i it possible to conclude, at the a = 0.10 level of significance, that the local company had a lower proportion of borrowers from its 401(k) retirement plan than the 22% reported nationwide?

4. Along with interest rates, life expectancy is a component in pricing financial annuities. Suppose that you know that last year average life expectancy was 77 years for your annuity holders. Now you want to know if your clients this year have a longer life expectancy, on average, so you randomly sample n=20 of your recently deceased annuity holders to see actual age at death. Using a 5% level of significance, test whether or not the new data shows evidence of your annuity holders now live longer than 77 years, on average. The data below are the sample data (in years of life): (78,75,83,81,81,77,78,79,79,81,76,79,77,76,79,81,73,74,78,79) a) Does this sample indicate that life expectancy has increased? Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion (use a 5% level of significance). Be sure to check the necessary assumptions and conditions before conducting your test. b) Construct A 90% confidence interval for the true average age of death for the population of your annuity…
The analysts’ stock recommendations are of considerable interest to investors. A study looking at the subsequent performance of new buy and sell recommendations by analysts over a period of time found the following results: Successful Unsuccessful New Buy 957 1233 New Sell 503 221 Note: A buy recommendation is ‘successful’ if the stock outperforms the benchmark by at least 4% over the next year. A sell recommendation is ‘successful’ if the stock underperforms the benchmark by at least 2% over the next year. ii) What is the probability that a chosen recommendation is a new buy and is successful?
Recall that Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Now suppose you are the auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue file contains millions of numbers in a large computer data bank. You draw a random sample of n = 226 numbers from this file and r = 87 have a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the computer file that have a leading digit of 1. 1) Test the claim that p is more than 0.301. Use α = 0.10. 2) What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 3) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) 4) If p is in fact larger than 0.301, it would seem there are too many numbers in…
In a survey of 1000 adult Americans, 45.7% indicated that they were somewhat interested or very interested in having web access in their cars. Suppose that the marketing manager of a car manufacturer claims that the 45.7% is based only on a sample and that 45.7% is close to half, so there is no reason to believe that the proportion of all adult Americans who want car web access is less than 0.50. Is the marketing manager correct in his claim? Provide statistical evidence to support your answer. For purposes of this exercise, assume that the sample can be considered as representative of adult Americans. Test the relevant hypotheses using ? = 0.05. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z= P-value= chose the conclusion in the context of the problem. a) Reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the proportion of all adult Americans who want car web access is less than 0.5. The marketing…
Suppose that there are 4 deaths due to stomach can- cer among workers in a tire plant from 1/1/64 to 12/31/83, while 2.5 are expected based on U.S. mortality rates. Provide a 95% CI for the expected number of deaths from stomach cancer over 20 years among the tire workers. Is the number of cases of stomach cancer excessive?

Will improving customer service result in higher stock prices for the companies providing the better services? "when a company's satisfaction score has improved over the prior years results and is above the national average (currently 75.7), studies show its shares have a good chance of outperforming the broad stock market in the long run." The following satisfaction scores of three companies for the 4th quarters of two previous years were obtained from the American Customer satisfaction index. Assume that the scores are based on a poll of 55 customers from each company. Because the polling has been done for several years, the standard deviation can be assumed to equal 7 points in each case.

A family purchases a 2000 square foot home and plans to make extensions totalling 500 square feet. The house currently has a pool, and a real estate agent has reported that the house is in excellent condition. However, the house does not have a view, and this will not change as a result of the extensions. According to the results in column (1), what is the expected DOLLAR increase in the price of the home due to the planned extensions?
A company estimates that 0.1% of their product will fail after th original warranty period but within 2 years of the purchase, with a replacement cost of $350. If they offer a 2 year warranty for $18 , what is the company's expected value of each warranty sold?

Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…
