Chapter 6, Problem 9P
The Economic Policy Institute periodically issues reports on wages of entry-level workers. The institute reported that entry-level wages for male college graduates were $21.68 per hour and for female college graduates were $18.80 per hour in 2011. Assume that the standard deviation for male graduates is $2.30, and for female graduates it is $2.05.

- b. What is the sampling distribution of
- c. In which of the preceding two cases, part (a) or part (b), is the standard error of

Reconsider the patient satisfaction data in Table 1. Fit a multiple regression model using both patient age and
severity as the regressors.
(a) Test for significance of regression.
(b) Test for the individual contribution of the two regressors. Are both regressor variables needed in the model?
(c) Has adding severity to the model improved the quality of the model fit? Explain your answer.
The output voltage of a power supply is assumed to be normally distributed. Sixteen observations taken at
random on voltage are as follows: 10.35, 9.30, 10.00, 9.96, 11.65, 12.00, 11.25, 9.58, 11.54, 9.95, 10.28, 8.37,
10.44, 9.25, 9.38, and 10.85.
(a) Test the hypothesis that the mean voltage equals 12 V against a two-sided alternative using a = 0.05.
(b) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on μ.
(c) Test the hypothesis that σ² = 11 using α = 0.05.
(d) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on σ.
(e) Construct a 95% upper confidence interval on σ.
(f) Does the assumption of normality seem reasonable for the output voltage?
Analyze the residuals from the regression model on the patient satisfaction data from Exercise 3. Comment on
the adequacy of the regression model.
