The VP of HR for a large company is interested in the distribution of sick-leave hours for employees at the company. A recent study revealed that the distribution was consistent with a normal model, with a mean of 58 hours per year, and a standard deviation of 14 hours. An office manager of one division believes that during the past year, two of the division’s employees have taken excessive sick leave. One took 74 hours and the other used 90 hours. What would you conclude about the division manager’s claim, and why?

Two formulations of a certain coating, designed to inhibit corrosion, are being tested. For each of eight peoples, half the pipe is coated with formulation A and the other half is coated with formulation B. Each pipe is exposed to a salt environment for 500 hours. Afterward, the corrosion loss is measured for each formulation on each pipe and the results are shown below. Can you conclude that the mean amount of corrosion differs between the two formulation? Setup the test and show your p-value.

10. According to a 2018 report, the mean amount of data used by all smartphone users with unlimited data plans was 4.87 GB per month. A company would like to determine if the mean amount of data used per month by smartphone user is different that it was in 2018. In order to investigate the issue, random sample of 900 smartphone users was selected.

A researcher is evaluating whether a new intervention affects the average reported anxiety symptoms in a sample of 49 college students. A survey from the previous semester found that the population reported a mean anxiety score of 22 with a standard deviation of 7. The sample completes the same measure of anxiety, with an average score of 20. The researcher sets their alpha level at .05 and performs a two-tailed test to determine whether anxiety increases or decreases after the intervention. Calculate effect size using Cohen’s d.

A video game streamer with a lot of subscribers (say 20,000) wants to switch to a new video game. The streamer will only do this if there is evidence that more that 75% of his subscriber base would be interested in watching the new game. He randomly selects 800 subscribers and asks if they would be interested in watching the new game. 632 say yes. We will do a hypothesis test to assess whether the streamer should switch games.

A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean, x overbar, is found to be 115, and the sample standard deviation, s, is found to be 10. (a) Construct a 96% confidence interval about mu if the sample size, n, is 12. (b) Construct a 96% confidence interval about mu if the sample size, n, is 21. (c) Construct a 98% confidence interval about mu if the sample size, n, is 12. (d) Could we have computed the confidence intervals in parts (a)-(c) if the population had not been normally distributed?
