The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a test required for admission into many masters of business administration (MBA) programs. Total scores on the GMAT are normally distributed. The Graduate Management Admission Council, who administers the test, claims that the mean total score is 528.

A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in Illinois and Massachusetts. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the that the mean annual income of childcare workers in the state of Illinois is greater than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Massachusetts. To see if this is true, the firm selected random sample of 25 childcare workers from Illinois and an independent random sample of 25 childcare workers from Massachusetts and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows. Annual income in dollars 45679, 47412, 38478, 44646, 44364, 45265, 41423, 45861, 45936, 34016, 43020, 4960o8, 43710, 45738, 41546, 38681, 34889, 39468, 45463, 53593, 40847, 38255, 45708, 57662, 54356 Illinois 41743, 36349, 44588, 40341, 32544, 38226, 46463, 42255, 38621, 32502, 37378, 40215, 41155, 38509, 47586, 46910, 56502, Massachusetts 48907, 41861, 51211, 55186, 39078, 48263, 48059,…
On the SAT exam a total of 25 minutes is allotted for students to answer 20 math questions without the use of a calculator. A guidance counselor would like to know if the students in his school are prepared to complete this portion of the exam in the timeframe allotted. To investigate, the counselor selects a random sample of 35 students and administers this portion of the test. The students are instructed to turn in their test as soon as they have completed the questions. The mean amount of time taken by the students is 23.5 minutes with a standard deviation of 4.8 minutes. The counselor would like to know if the data provide convincing evidence that the true mean amount of time needed for all students of this school to complete this portion of the test is less than 25 minutes and therefore tests the hypotheses Ho: µ = 25 versus Hai H < 25, where p = the true mean amount of time needed by students at this school to complete this portion of the exam. The conditions for inference are…
It’s assumed that students need to stay awake more to study during finals week. One way to measure this is how much coffee is consumed during Finals week at night. A local coffee house near APU counted the number of cups of coffee sold per hour during Finals week after 6 p.m. We randomly select ten (10) hours of sales records during Finals week and find out that the following number of cups of coffee were consumed: 18, 17, 22, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24, 15, 15 By comparison, the sales records from a previous week were used as a comparison. The following number of cups of coffee were consumed over a seven (7) hour period: 9, 13, 5, 15, 17, 10, 11 a. Determine what is the appropriate statistical procedure, with a brief explanation (one sentence) as to why this is the appropriate procedure. b. State the null hypothesis. c. Execute the proper calculations with the appropriate procedures. d. Present a graph when appropriate of your results. e. Include any appropriate post-hoc tests. f. State…
An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint. The designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 250 Fundash runners and 285 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 250 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 76.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.7 minutes. The 285 Coolsprint runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.6 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, u, of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time, µa, of Coolsprint?

In order to estimate the proportion of students at a small liberal arts college who watch reality TV for more than 4 hours per week, a random sample of students at the school is selected and each is interviewed about his or her reality TV viewing habits. The students conducting the survey are worried that people that watch reality TV might be embarrassed to admit it and that they may not respond to the survey with honest answers. What type of bias are the students conducting the survey worried about? Measurement or response bias They shouldn't worry--there is no obvious source of bias. Selection bias Nonresponse bias

An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint. The designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 240 Fundash runners and 200 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 240 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 76.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.2 minutes. The 200 Coolsprint runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.4 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, μ1 , of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time, μ2 , of Coolsprint?…
The state highway department is studying traffic patterns on one of the busiest highways in the state. As part of the study. the department needs to estimate the average number of vehicles that pass an intersection each day. One of the department's officer (Officer A) claims that on average, more than 15,000 cars passing the intersection. On the other hand. Officer B claims that on average, 18,000 cars passing the intersection. Meanwhile, a random sample of 64 days gives a sample mean of 14,205 cars and a sample standard deviation of 1,010 cars. Test both claim at 0.05 level of significance. Use the critical value approach and show the complete calculation steps for each testing. Whose claim is true?
