In Exercises 11.1 and 11.2, for each situation, choose the appropriate test: one-sample
a. You want to test whether there is an association between a categorical variable and a
numerical variable. For example, you want to test whether there is an association between type
of apartment (studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom) and monthly rent.
b. You want to test whether the means of a numerical variable are different for two possible
values of a categorical variable. For example, you want to test whether the
paramedics is the same for male and female paramedics.

Determine the appropriate test for the following situations:
a. To test whether there is an association between type of apartment and monthly rent.
b. To test whether the mean income of paramedics is same for male and female paramedics.
Answer to Problem 1SE
a. ANOVA test is used to test the association between type of apartment (categorical variable) and monthly rent (numerical variable).
b. Two sample t-test is used to test whether the mean income of paramedics is same for male and female paramedics.
Explanation of Solution
a.
ANOVA is a parametric statistical test which is used to test the differences among the group means in sample or population. In ANOVA test we assumed that the sample is drawn from normally distributed population and the population variance is equal.
In the provided case one variable is numeric (monthly rent) and other variable is categorical (studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom). So, there are 3 groups and ANOVA is the only parametric test which is used to compare the means of more than two populations.
b.
Two-sample

INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS (LOOSELEAF)
- A company found that the daily sales revenue of its flagship product follows a normal distribution with a mean of $4500 and a standard deviation of $450. The company defines a "high-sales day" that is, any day with sales exceeding $4800. please provide a step by step on how to get the answers in excel Q: What percentage of days can the company expect to have "high-sales days" or sales greater than $4800? Q: What is the sales revenue threshold for the bottom 10% of days? (please note that 10% refers to the probability/area under bell curve towards the lower tail of bell curve) Provide answers in the yellow cellsarrow_forwardFind the critical value for a left-tailed test using the F distribution with a 0.025, degrees of freedom in the numerator=12, and degrees of freedom in the denominator = 50. A portion of the table of critical values of the F-distribution is provided. Click the icon to view the partial table of critical values of the F-distribution. What is the critical value? (Round to two decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardA retail store manager claims that the average daily sales of the store are $1,500. You aim to test whether the actual average daily sales differ significantly from this claimed value. You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value.
