The results of Computerworld's Annual Job Satisfaction Survey showed that 28% of in- formation systems (IS) managers are very satisfied with their job, 46% are somewhat sat- isfied, 12% are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, 10% are somewhat dissatisfied, and 4% are very dissatisfied. Suppose that a sample of 500 computer programmers yielded the following results. Number of Category Respondents Very satisfied Somewhat satisfied 105 235 55 90 Neither Somewhat dissatisfied Very dissatisfied 15 Use a = .05 and test to determine whether the job satisfaction for computer programmers is different from the job satisfaction for IS managers.

The operations manager of a company that manufactures tires wants to determine whether there are any differences in the quality of workmanship among the three daily shifts. She randomly selects 499 tires and carefully inspects them. Each tire is either classified as perfect, satisfactory, or defective, and the shift that produced it is also recorded. The two categorical variables of interest are: shift and condition of the tire produced. The data can be summarized by the accompanying two-way table. Perfect Satisfactory Defective Total Shift 1 106 124 2 232 Shift 2 66 85 3 154 Shift 3 36 74 3 113 Total 208 283 8 499 A) This sample has degree of freedom:��= If shift and quality are independent, thenB) With any expected count accurate to 2 decimal places, the expected count in row 1 column 1 is�1,1= C) With any component accurate to 2 decimal places, the component value in row 1 column 1 of the table iscomponent1,1= D) �2 value of this sample is�2= .

A researcher conducts an experiment to test whether memory changes with age. They recruited 24 participants separated into four age groups. The groups differ according to the age of subjects. In group one, all participants are 30 years old. Group 2, 40 years old. Group 3, 50 years old. And group 4, 60 years old. Assume that the participants are all in good health and that the groups are matched on other important variables such as years of education, IQ, gender, motivation, and so on. Each participant is shown a series of nonsense syllables ( a meaningless combination of three letters such as Daf or FUM ) at a rate of one syllable every four seconds. The series is shown twice, after which participants are asked to write down as many of the syllables as they can remember. Below is number of syllables remembered by each participant. 30 years old 14 13 15 17 12 10 40 years old 12 15 16 11 12 18 50 years old 17 14 14 9 13 15 60 years old 13 10 7 8 6 9 what is the alternative and null…
A report included data from a study in which 789 people in a representative sample of college students age 18 to 24 were asked how they perceive their money management skills. Possible responses were excellent, good, average, not very good, and poor. Each student in the sample was also classified by sex, resulting in the data in the table. Perception of Money Management Skills Not Very Good Excellent Good Average Poor Male 102 138 88 17 8 Female 81 193 136 22 4 Is there convincing evidence that there is an association between sex and how students perceive their money management skills? Test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of a = 0.05. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. O Ho: The proportions falling into each of the four perceptions of money management skills are the same for both sexes. H: The proportions falling into each of the four perceptions of money management skills are not the same for both sexes. O Ho: There is an association between sex…
A study investigated the relationship between audit delay and variables that describe the client and the auditor. The file Audit contains data from a sample of 40 companies on the following set of variables: Delay: The length of time from a company's fiscal year-end to the date of the auditor's report. Industry: A dummy variable coded 1 if the firm was an industrial company or 0 if the firm was a bank, savings and loan, or insurance company. Public: A dummy variable coded 1 if the company was traded on an organized exchange or over the counter; otherwise coded 0. Quality: A measure of overall quality of internal controls, as judged by the auditor, on a five-point scale ranging from "virtually none" (1) to "excellent" (5). Finished: A measure ranging from 1 to 4, as judged by the auditor, where 1 indicates "all work performed subsequent to year-end" and indicates 4 "most work performed prior to year-end."

Suppose you are conducting a study about how the average US worker spends time over the course of a workday. You are interested in how much time workers spend per day on personal calls, emails, and social networking websites, as well as how much time they spend socializing with coworkers versus actually working. The most recent census provides data for the entire population of US workers on variables such as travel time to work, time spent at work, and break time at work. The census, however, does not include data on the variables you are interested in, so you obtain a random sample of 102 full-time workers in the United States and ask about personal calls, emails, and so forth. You are curious about how your sample compares with the census, so you also ask the workers the same questions about work that are asked in the census. Suppose the mean travel time to work from the most recent census is 24.1 minutes, with a standard deviation of 4.5 minutes. Your sample of 102 US workers…
An industrial/organizational psychologist wants to improve worker productivity for a client firm, but first he needs to gain a better understanding of the life of the typical white-collar professional. Fortunately, he has access to the 2008 Workplace Productivity Survey, commissioned by LexisNexis and prepared by WorldOne Research, which surveyed a sample of 650 white-collar professionals (250 legal professionals and 400 other professionals). One of the survey questions was, “How many work-related emails do you receive during a typical workday?” For the subsample of legal professionals (n = 250), the mean response was M = 36.7 emails, with a sample standard deviation of s = 21.2 emails. The psychologist can be 99% confident that the interval from to includes the unknown population mean µ. Normally the psychologist will not know the value of the population mean. But consider the (unrealistic) scenario that a census of legal professionals is conducted. The census reveals…

An industrial-organizational psychologist is interested in discovering the relationship between the tempo of preferred music that is played in a workplace and employee mood. Employees chose their favorite song on an MP3 player and then reported their moods when listening to that piece of music. A total of 10 participants were asked individually and brought in their own MP3 players; the least number of songs on an employee's MP3 player was 350. The sample data are presented as a scatterplot below. The psychologist wants to use a Pearson correlation coefficient to analyze the relationship. Considering the assumptions for this statistic, which of these statements is the correct course of action? A. The researcher has chosen the wrong statistic to represent this relationship. B. The researcher has violated a robust assumption and should be able to calculate r. C. The researcher has chosen the right statistic because all the assumptions are valid. D. The researcher has violated a…
