Consider the following hypothesis test.
The following results are for two independent samples taken from the two populations.
Sample 1
Sample 2
n 1 = 80
n 2 = 70
x 1 = 104
x 2 = 106
σ 1 = 8.4
σ 2 = 7.6
What is the value of the test statistic? If required enter negative values as negative numbers (to 2 decimals).
What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? Use z-table.
With = .05, what is your hypothesis testing conclusion?
Periodically, Merrill Lynch customers are asked to evaluate Merrill Lynch financial consultants and services (2000 Merrill Lynch Client Satisfaction Survey). Higher ratings on the client satisfaction survey indicate better service with 7 the maximum service rating. Independent samples of service ratings for two financial consultants are summarized here. Consultant A has 10 years of experience, whereas consultant B has 1 year of experience. Use = .05 and test to see whether the consultant with more experience has the higher population mean service rating.

A firm paid its first annual dividend yesterday in the amount of $.15 per share. The company plans to double the dividend in each of the next 3 years. Starting in Year 4, the firm plans to pay $1.50 per share indefinitely. What is one share of this stock worth today if the market rate of return on similar securities is 13.8 percent?

Key personnel—those who would be using the software—were asked to fill out the questionnaire. SoftBus received 82 usable responses, as shown in the file.
