The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducts the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) and reports a variety of information on each county in America. In the third quarter of 2016, the QCEW reported the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in all 3222 counties in America. Suppose that James is an economist who collects a simple random sample of the total taxable earnings of workers in 54 American counties during the third quarter of 2016. According to the QCEW, the true population mean and standard deviation of taxable earnings, in millions of dollars, by county are µ = 28.29 and o = 33.493, respectively. Let X be the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in a county. The mean total taxable earnings of all wage earners in a county across all the counties in James' sample is x. Use the central limit theorem (CLT) to determine the probability P that the mean taxable wages in James' sample of 54 counties will be less than $31 million. Report your answer to four decimal places.

Suppose a school of economics and a business school have conducted studies of how chief executive officers (CEOs) spend their time. Assume these studies have found that CEOs spend many hours per week in meetings that include conference calls, business meals, and public events.

The Economist collects data each year on the price of a Big Mac in various countries around the world. A randomsample of McDonald’s restaurants in Europe were surveyed in July 2016 asking about their Big Mac price. The surveyresulted in the following Big Mac prices (after conversion to U.S. dollars):4.44 3.15 2.42 3.96 4.35 4.51 4.17 3.69 4.62 3.80 3.36 3.85The mean price of a Big Mac in the U.S. in July 2016 was $5.04. Does the sample provide convincing evidence that themean July 2016 price of a Big Mac in Europe is less than the reported U.S. price?
A researcher is interested in determining if the model used for the distribution of main economic concerns in the year 2003 for residents in a certain county can still be used in the year 2004. A sample of 370 residents from that county was surveyed in 2004. The following table displays the model for the distribution of economic concerns for the year 2003 and the observed number of sampled respondents in the survey for the same economic concerns for the year 2004. Economic concern 1: Jobs 2: Medical care 4: Housing Total 3: Higher education Model from 2003 5% 36% 27% 32% 100% Counts in 2004 25 138 116 91 370 Under the null hypothesis that the model from the previous year can still be used, what is the distribution of the chi-square statistic? ○ x ²(2) O x ²(3) O x ²(4) O x²(1)
Hospital Stays. The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics collects data on length of stay in noninstitutional, short-stay hospitals by sex and age. Results are published in Vital and Health Statistics. Independent random samples of Americans were taken to compare the lengths of stay (in days) for males and females in four age groups (15–24 years, 25–34 years, 35–44 years, and 45–64 years). The data are in the following table. a. the response variable b. the factors c. the levels of each factor d. the number of treatment combinations e. the experimental units f. the number of observations for each treatment combination g. the experimental factors, if any h. the classification factors, if any i. whether the study is a designed experiment or an observational study

4. A report describes a study conducted by a bank. Data consistent with summary values given in the report are summarized in the table. Suppose that this data resulted from a random sample of 800 adult Americans age 20 to 39 years old who have at least one credit card. Each person in the sample was classified according to age (with possible categories of 20 to 24 years, 25 to 29 years, 30 to 34 years, and 35 to 39 years). The people in the sample were also classified according to whether or not they pay the full balance on their credit cards each month or sometimes or always carry over a balance from month to month. Pay Full BalanceEach Month Carry Balance fromMonth to Month Age 20 to 24 years 75 95 Age 25 to 29 years 71 127 Age 30 to 34 years 75 145 Age 35 to 39 years 70 142 A) To investigate whether or not people paying their balance in full each month is related to age, which chi-square test (homogeneity or independence) would be the appropriate test?

Is the national crime rate really going down? Some sociologists say yes! They say that the reason for the decline in crime rates in the 1980s and 1990s is demographics. It seems that the population is aging, and older people commit fewer crimes. According to the FBI and the Justice Department, 70% of all arrests are of males aged 15 to 34 years. Suppose you are a sociologist in Rock Springs, Wyoming, and a random sample of police files showed that of 38 arrests last month, 21 were of males aged 15 to 34 years. Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the population proportion of such arrests in Rock Springs is different from 70%.
