Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1, 2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) went up the same day. A sample of 80 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 22 went up. You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that went up is is significantly less than 0.3. You use a significance level of a = 0.005. What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) test statistic = What is the p-value for this sample? (Report answer accurate to four decimal places.) p-value =
A somewhat outdated study indicates that the mean number of hours worked per week by software developers is 44. We have good reason to suspect that the mean number of hours worked per week by software developers, μ, is now greater than 44 and wish to do a statistical test. We select a random sample of software developers and find that the mean of the sample is 48 hours and that the standard deviation is 6 hours. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that should be used for the test? (b) Suppose that we decide to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might we be making? (c) Suppose the true mean number of hours worked by software engineers is 50 hours. A Type II error would be _____ the hypothesis that μ is_____ when, in fact, μ is_____ .
The Wall Street Journal's Shareholder Scoreboard tracks the performance of 1,000 major U.S. companies. The performance of each company is rated based on the annual total return, including stock price changes and the re investment of dividends. Ratings are assigned by dividing all 1,000 companies into five groups from A (top 20%) , B (next 20%), to E (bottom 20%). Shown here are the one- year ratings for a sample of 60 of the largest companies. ABCD 5 8 15 20 12 Do the largest companies differ in performance from the performance of the 1,000 companies in the Shareholder Scoreboard? Use α = 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: The proportions of the largest companies compared to the 1,000 companies are the same for at least one of the five groups. Ha : The proportions of the largest companies compared to the 1,000 companies are different for all five groups. Ho: The largest companies differ in performance from the 1,000 companies. H₂: : The largest companies do not differ…
