Suppose that you are thinking about buying a new car have narrowed down your choices to two options:
The new-car option: The new-car costs $28,000 and can be financed with a four-year loan at 6.12%.
The used-car option: A three-year old model of the same car costs $16,000and can be financed with a four-year loan at 6.86%.
What is difference in monthly payments between financing the new car and financing the car?

- A data set includes data from student evaluations of courses. The summary statistics are n = 93, x=3.83, s = 0.68. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that the population of student course evaluations has a mean equal to 4.00. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? OA.

- Many people believe that criminals who plead guilty tend to get lighter sentences than those who are convicted in trials. The accompanying table summarizes randomly selected sample data for defendants in burglary cases. All of the subjects had prior prison sentences. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sentence (sent to prison or not sent to prison) is independent of the plea. If you were an attorney defending a guilty defendant, would these results suggest that you should encourage a guilty plea? Click the icon to view the table. More Info OA.
