Question 35

I) Suppose that you randomly select a sample of 40 part-time journalists in January, and find that the sample pay per hour is £20.10 and the sample SD is £3.15. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean hourly pay of all of the part-time journalists in January, and then provide an interpretation of your interval.


II) Suppose that part-time journalists earn £17.84 per hour on average in July. Test if the data collected in Part I) suggest that the part-time journalists in January earn, on average, more than those working as part-time journalists in July. Do a hypothesis test given a 10% significance level to answer this, and then provide a conclusion.

Suppose that you own a car dealership and purchase (randomly select) 10 cars of a certain make from a production run of 200 cars. Of the 200 cars, 160 are destined to last at least five years without needing a major repair. Using the hypergeometric distribution what is the probability that at least 6 of your 10 cars will last at least five years without needing a major repair.
