Suppose you just graduated with an accounting degree and are trying to choose an accounting firm to begin your career. You spent hours researching many firms and have narrowed your search down to three (i.e. Aguilar, Brown and Cheng). You have surveyed accountants to determine if the average incomes at each firm are equal between each of your top three choices. Obviously you want to join the firm with the highest average pay. Below are a sample of salaries (i.e. eight individuals from each firm) enabling you to test the hypothesis that the average pay (in thousands of $) is equal between employers. Use Fisher's LSD procedure (if necessary) to test whether there is a significant difference between any of the firms.

Tardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1150 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy.) A random sample of 25 tardigrade colonies found that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 1133 Gy, with a sample standard deviation of 02 Gy. Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is appraximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level af significance, to support that H, the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 1150 Cy. (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that you would use for…

We are interested in estimating the proportion of people that can identify Nebraska but not Vermont. In a class of 55 students, each student was requested to select a sample of 6 people, show each person a map of the US and ask the person to identify the states of Vermont and Nebraska. The following numbers are the counts that each student got, that is, each number is the count of people in the student sample of 6, that could identify Nebraska but not Vermont.3344010110020030002020001100002010000001000200000001010Note: You can cut and past these numbers into an excel spreadsheet to help you calculate the mean and the standard deviation and compute the confidence interval. If you have trouble pasting them, paste them to a text file first and then copy from there.When we collect all the students' data, we have a sample size of 6x55=330.Of the sample of 330 people, what proportion were able to locate Nebraska but not Vermont?

A building contractor has a chance to buy an odd lot of 1,000 used bricks at an auction. She is interested in determining the proportion of bricks in the lot that are cracked and therefore unusable for her current project, but she does not have enough time to inspect all 1,000 bricks. Instead, she checks 150 bricks to determine which ones are cracked. What is the population of interest? all building contractors all 1,000 bricks in the lot the rest of the 850 bricks the 150 bricks selected for inspection the rest of the 700 bricks What group constitutes the sample? the 150 bricks selected for inspection all building contractors the rest of the 700 bricks all 1,000 bricks in the lot the rest of the 850 brickS Submit Answer
To get a sample of 50 students for a student services survey, an assistant principal uses the calculator command "randInt(1,72,5)" to pick five numbers between 1 and 72. He goes to those five pages in the 72-page directory and chooses the ten students pictured on each of those five pages. Will this sampling strategy result in a random sample from the population under consideration?
. What percent of the random samples from Bag 1 had between 30% and 50% red marbles? What percent of the random samples from Bag 2 had between 30% and 50% red marbles? f. What percent of the random samples from Bag 1 had between 70% and 90% red marbles? What percent of the random samples from Bag 2 had between 70% and 90% red marbles? g. Which bag is more likely to be the one with 40% red marbles and which bag is more likely to be the one with 80% red marbles? Why? h. A third bag of 50 marbles contains 50% red marbles and 50% black marbles. If students take random samples of 10 marbles from that bag, how do you think a dot plot for those random samples would compare to the dot plots for Bag 1 and Bag 2?
