Suppose that weekly expenses for two student organizations are thought to be similar. A random sample of 10 weeks yields the following weekly expenses for each organization:
Organization A Organization B
$ 119.25 $ 111.99
$ 123.71 $ 116.62
$ 121.32 $ 114.88
$ 121.72 $ 115.38
$ 122.34 $ 115.11
$ 122.42 $ 114.40
$ 120.14 $ 117.02
$ 123.63 $ 113.91
$ 122.19 $ 116.89
$ 122.44 $ 121.87
Use a Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test to determine whether expenses differ for the two organizations. Test at the 0.05 level.

A bank president claims that the median of debt-to-equity ratio of commercial loans provided is less than 5. A random sample of 15 commercial loans is selected with the following values for this ratio:
1.31 1.33 1.22
1.78 1.45 1.32
1.46 1.41 1.19
1.05 1.29 1.11
1.37 1.21 1.65
Use a Sign Test at the 0.05 level to test this claim. Do this by hand and not using Excel.

In analyzing hits by bombs in a past war, a city was subdivided
into 471 regions, each with an area of 0.5-km². A total of 390
bombs hit the combined area of 471 regions. The Poisson
distribution applies because we are dealing with the occurrences of
an event (bomb hits) over some interval (a region with area of
0.5-km².

A small branch bank has two tellers, one for deposits and one for withdrawals. Customers arrive at each teller’s window with an average rate of 18 customers per hour. (The total customer arrival rate is 36 per hour.) The interarrival times are exponential. The service time of each teller is exponential with a mean of 3 minutes. The bank manager is considering changing the setup to allow each teller to handle both withdrawals and deposits to avoid the situations that arise from time to time when the queue is sizable in front of one teller while the other is idle. However, since the tellers would have to handle both deposits and withdrawals, their efficiency would decrease to a mean service time of 3.2 minutes. Compare the present system with the proposed system with respect to the total average number of customers in the banks and the average time a customer would have to spend in the bank.

As a binomial question: Flip a coin twice. The probability of observing a head is 50%, what is the probability that I observe 1 head? binompdf (n, p, x) so binompdf( 2, .50,1) Sampling Proportion question (8.2): There is a 50% of observing a head. If we flip the coin 100 times, what is that at most 30% of the flips will be heads? n*p*(1-p) =100*.50*.50=25 (Do not use my coin example. Use your own scenario). pˆ=.30 po or μ=50 Image result for sample proportion z formula NormalCDF (-999,.30,.50,.05) raw numbers z=.30−.50.50(1−.50)100√=−.20.05=−4 NormalCDF(-999,-4) standardized that means the mean is 0 and standard deviation is 1.

The Student's t distribution table gives critical
values for the Student's t distribution. Use an
appropriate d.f. as the row header. For a
right-tailed test, the column header is the value of
α found in the one-tail area row. For a
left-tailed test, the column header is the value of
α found in the one-tail area row, but you must
change the sign of the critical value t to −t.
For a two-tailed test, the column header is the value of
α from the two-tail area row. The critical values
are the ±t values shown.
Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The
lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that
the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is μ =
19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 51
fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.5 inches, with
estimated standard deviation s = 2.8 inches. Do these data
indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake
is less than μ = 19 inches? Use α = 0.05. Solve
the problem using the critical region method of testing (i.e.,
traditional method). (Round the your answers to three decimal
places.)
