Chapter 7, Problem 7.122ACB
“Made in the USA” survey. Refer to the Journal of Global Business (Spring 2002) study of what “Made in the USA” means to consumers, Exercise 2.154 (p. 119). Recall that 64 of 106 randomly selected shoppers believed “Made in the USA” means 100% of labor and materials are from the United States. Let p represent the true proportion of consumers who believe “Made in the USA” means 100% of labor and materials are from the United States.
- a. Calculate a point estimate for p.
- b. A claim is made that p = .70. Set up the null and alternative hypotheses to test this claim.
- c. Calculate the test statistic for the test, part b.
- d. Find the rejection region for the test if α = .01.
- e. Use the results, parts c and d, to make the appropriate conclusion.

Test d'égalité des espérances: observations pairées
A television news channel samples 25 gas stations from its local area and uses the results to estimate the average gas price for the state. What’s wrong with its margin of error?
You’re fed up with keeping Fido locked inside, so you conduct a mail survey to find out people’s opinions on the new dog barking ordinance in a certain city. Of the 10,000 people who receive surveys, 1,000 respond, and only 80 are in favor of it. You calculate the margin of error to be 1.2 percent. Explain why this reported margin of error is misleading.

- The annual aggregate claim amount of an insurer follows a compound Poisson distribution with parameter 1,000. Individual claim amounts follow a Gamma distribution with shape parameter a = 750 and rate parameter λ = 0.25. 1. Generate 20,000 simulated aggregate claim values for the insurer, using a random number generator seed of 955.Display the first five simulated claim values in your answer script using the R function head(). 2. Plot the empirical density function of the simulated aggregate claim values from Question 1, setting the x-axis range from 2,600,000 to 3,300,000 and the y-axis range from 0 to 0.0000045. 3. Suggest a suitable distribution, including its parameters, that approximates the simulated aggregate claim values from Question 1. 4.

- Selon une économiste d’une société financière, les dépenses moyennes pour « meubles et appareils de maison » ont été moins importantes pour les ménages de la région de Montréal, que celles de la région de Québec. Un échantillon aléatoire de 14 ménages pour la région de Montréal et de 16 ménages pour la région Québec est tiré et donne les données suivantes, en ce qui a trait aux dépenses pour ce secteur d’activité économique. On suppose que les données de chaque population sont distribuées selon une loi normale. Nous sommes intéressé à connaitre si les variances des populations sont égales.a) Faites le test d’hypothèse sur deux variances approprié au seuil de signification de 1 %.

A random sample of 14 households from the Montreal region and 16 households from the Quebec region was taken, providing the following data regarding expenditures in this economic sector. It is assumed that the data from each population are distributed normally. We are interested in knowing if the variances of the populations are equal. a) Perform the appropriate hypothesis test on two variances at a significance level of 1%. Include the following information: i. Hypothesis / Identification of populations ii. Critical F-value(s) iii. Decision rule iv. F-ratio value v.

The head of civil engineering and municipal services decided to structure an experimental plan to detect if there could be significant differences in project evaluation. Seven projects were selected, each of which had to be evaluated by each of the two estimators, with the order of the projects submitted being random. The obtained estimates are presented in the table below. a) Complete the table above by calculating: i. The differences (A-B) ii. The sum of the differences iii. The mean of the differences iv.
