  1. You are hired as statistician to test whether there are any differences among the regions regarding vacancy rates and you should allow for 10% error.
  2. Do you think that the mean vacancy rate is the same for these regions? Why

Expert Solution

  1. You are hired as statistician to test whether there are any differences among the regions regarding vacancy rates and you should allow for 10% error.

The hypothesis being tested is:

H0: Mean vacancy rate is the same for these regions

Ha: Mean vacancy rate is not the same for these regions

The output is:

SUMMARY Count Sum Average Variance
Row 1 3 20 6.666667 2.333333

Error 15.16667 6 2.527778
Total 30 11

Since the p-value (0.536377) is greater than the significance level (0.10), we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, we cannot conclude that there are any differences among the regions regarding vacancy rates.

  1. Do you think that the mean vacancy rate is the same for these regions? Why

Since the p-value (0.536377) is greater than the significance level (0.10), we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, we can conclude that the mean vacancy rate is the same for these regions.

What is Accessibility? A 1997 report by the U.S. Census Bureau categorizes 19.6% of the U.S. population as having some sort of disability. Within that group are individuals with visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments. Each category includes a much wider range of conditions. For example, visual impairments include limited vision, color blindness, and blindness. Disability categories can also include temporary disabilities; for example, someone with a broken wrist may have difficulty using a mouse but still needs access to...
