The DRC’s population is currently growing at 2.7 percent annually. Not unlike most African countries, the population of the DRC is heavily skewed to youth: 44% of the national population is under 24 years of age! Compare this to 32% of the population for the same age group in the U.S. and 24% in Japan. This demographic reality makes great demands on the government and economy of the DRC in terms of providing schooling (and other social services) and opportunities for employment in an economy decimated by war, mismanagement, and the on-going legacy of the exploitation of the DRC’s natural resources by international…arrow_forward
- Joan's Nursery specializes in custom-designed landscaping for residential areas. The estimated labor cost associated with a particular landscaping proposal is based on the number of plantings of trees, shrubs, and so on to be used for the project. For cost-estimating purposes, managers use two hours of labor time for the plant- ing of a medium-sized tree. Actual times from a sample of 10 plantings during the past month follow (times in hours).2.1 2.2 1.7 1.6 2.3 3.1 1.5 2.6 2.4 2.2 With a .05 level of significance, test to see whether the mean tree-planting time differs from two hours. a.

- Q3. Management training programs are often instituted to teach supervisory skills and thereby increase productivity. Suppose a company psychologist administers a set of examinations to each of 10 super- visors before such a training program begins and then administers similar examinations at the end of the program. The examinations are designed to measure supervisory skills, with higher scores indicating increased skill. The results of the tests are shown below: Supervisor Pre-Test Post-Test 63 78 I 2 93 92 3 84 91 4 72 80 5 65 69 72 85 7 91 99 8 84 82 9 71 81 10 80 87 Do the data provide evidence that the training program is effective in increasing supervisory skills, as measured by the examination scores? Set up the appropriate hypotheses and test them at 5% significance level.

Even though all 8 regions reported growth in the past year, region A and region B reported the highest combined growths, with 17% and 25%, respectively.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In all of these questions, there are 2 possible ratios A/B and B/AI Our convention is to always assume that the larger variance is in the numerator (i.e., on top). The correct answer will always be found in this fashion. Similarly, in questions about a critical value, we shall consider the right (upper) tail. a.
