Let's assume that the average length of all commercials aired on Hulu is 78 seconds. From a sample of 46 commercials aired during sitcoms, it was found that the average length of those commercials was 76 seconds with a standard deviation of 6.1 seconds. At the 5% significance level, does this data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean length of sitcom commercials is different from 78 seconds?

Can someone send me a screen shot of how to input this into SPSS data and variable view to obtain the information provided below?
Question 1
The nominal scale of measurement is used to measure academic program in this example because data collected for the students is nothing but the names of their major subjects or classes and their status of mood whether they are nervous or excited.
Question 2
The nominal scale of measurement is used to measure feeling about PSY 3002 because the feeling is explained by two categories such as nervous and excited.
Question 3
This scenario required a Chi-square test of independence between two categorical variables. For this scenario, two categories are given as major subject and feeling. Here, we have to check the hypothesis whether the two categorical variables major subject of student and feeling of a student are independent of each other or not.
Question 4
For this scenario, the null and alternative hypotheses are given as below:
Null hypothesis: H0: The two categorical variables major subject of student and the feeling of the student are independent of each other.
Alternative hypothesis: Ha: The two categorical variables major subject of student and feeling of student are not independent from each other.
We can also write these hypotheses as below:
Null hypothesis: H0: There is no any relationship between two categorical variables such as major subject of student and feeling of student.
Alternative hypothesis: Ha: There is a relationship between the two categorical variables such as major subject of student and feeling of student.
Question 5
The Chi square test statistic is given as 16.94235589.
Question 6
Number of rows = r = 2
Number of columns = c = 2
Degrees of freedom = (r – 1)*(c – 1) = (2 – 1)*(2 – 1) = 1*1 = 1
Degrees of freedom = 1
Question 7
P-value = 0.0000385
(by using Chi square table or excel)
Question 8
Reject the null hypothesis because p-value is less than alpha value 0.05.
Question 9
Yes, results are statistically significant because p-value for this test is given as 0.0000385 which is less than alpha value 0.05.
Question 10
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a relationship between the two categorical variables such as major subject of student and feeling of student.
There is sufficient evidence to conclude that two categorical variables major subject of student and feeling of student are not independent from each other.

In a study entitled How Undergraduate Students Use Credit Cards, Sallie Mae reported that undergraduate students have a mean credit card balance of $3173. This figure was an all-time high and had increased 44% over the previous five years. Assume that a current study is being conducted to determine whether it can be concluded that the mean credit card balance for undergraduate students has continued to increase to the April 2009 report.
Based upon previous studies, the population standard deviation was $1000.
A sample was selected of 180 undergraduate students with a sample mean credit card balance of $3325.

A state legislator wants to determine whether his voters' performance rating (0 - 100) has changed from last year to this year. The following table shows the legislator's performance from the same ten randomly selected voters for last year and this year. Use this data to find the 80% confidence interval for the true difference between the population means. Assume that the populations of voters' performance ratings are normally distributed for both this year and last year.

Step 1 of 4:
Find the point estimate for the population mean of the paired differences. Let x1 be the rating from last year and x2 be the rating from this year and use the formula d=x2−x1 to calculate the paired differences. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Your Toronto Maple Leafs won 30 of 82 games last season (i.e., the 2014-2015 season), giving them a winning percentage of 37%. If we assume this means the probability of the Leafs winning any given game is 0.37, then we can predict how they would have done in a playoff series.
Answer the following questions to determine the probability that the Leafs would have won a best of 7playoff series (i.e., won 4 games) had they made the playoffs last season.
a. Rephrase this question in terms of sequences of 0s and 1s. What is the shortest length of a sequence? What is the longest length of a sequence?
b. Calculate the number of sequences which correspond to the Leafs winning the series. (Note that the answer is not C(7, 4).)
c. Calculate the number of sequences as they relate to this problem. (Note that the answer is not 27 as not all series would last 7 games.)
d. Calculate the probability that the Leafs would win the series.

The following probability distribution shows how the price per share is expected to change over a three-month period: Stock Price Change ($) Probability –2 0.05 –2 0.10 0 0.25 +1 0.20 +2 0.20 +3 0.10 +4 0.10 (a) Construct a spreadsheet simulation model that computes the value of the stock price in 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months under the assumption that the change in stock price over any three-month period is independent of the change in stock price over any other three-month period. For a current price of $39 per share, what is the average stock price per share 12 months from now? What is the standard deviation of the stock price 12 months from now? Based on the model assumptions, what are the lowest and highest possible prices for this stock in 12 months?
