One of the major measures of the quality of service provided by any organization is the speed with which it responds to customer complaints. A large family-held department store selling furniture and flooring, including carpet, had undergone a major expansion in the past several years. In particular, the flooring department had expanded from 2 installation crews to an installation supervisor, a measurer, and 15 installation crews. Last year, there were 50 complaints concerning carpet installation. The following data, also in the file FURNITURE, represent the number of days between the receipt of a complaint and the resolution of the complaint: 54 5 35 137 31 27 152 2 123 81 74 27 11 19 126 110 110 29 61 35 94 31 26 5 12 4 165 32 29 28 29 26 25 1 14 13 13 10 5 27 4 52 30 22 36 26 20 23 33 68 Problem 4 Please continue for problem questions…

a. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean number of days between the receipt of a complaint and the resolution of the complaint and interpret. Use Minitab

b. What assumption must you make about the population distribution in order to construct the confidence interval estimate in (a)?

c. Do you think that the assumption needed in order to construct the confidence interval estimate in (a) is valid? Explain.

Contrasting the Independent and Dependent Tests

In a brief paragraph, discuss your reasoning for any differences between the two tests in the seven-step process.

A tele-marketing company wants to know if sales go up as they call more people per day but spend less time per call. The following is the data from nine randomly selected days. The information is the number of calls the salesperson makes in a day and the total amount of sales (in thousands of dollars).

Calls             25      29      33      37      43      48      52      55      67

Sales            3.7     4.2     4.2     5.0     4.7     5.3     4.9     5.6     5.9

a. Calculate ∑X, ∑X², ∑Y, ∑Y², ∑XY

b. Calculate SS_XX, SS_YY, and SS_XY.

c. Use the information from parts (a) and (b) to generate the estimated OLS line.

d. Interpret the estimated slope coefficient from your line in part c.

e. Predict the amount of sales for the fourth observation in the data set.

f. Calculate the residual for that observation.

g. Construct the ANOVA table for this situation.

h. Calculate the coefficient of determination.

i. Interpret the coefficient of determination.

j. Using alpha = 0.05, use a model test to see if a linear relationship exists between the number of calls and sales.

k. A positive relationship is anticipated between these two variables. At alpha = 0.05, test to see if the evidence supports that anticipated sign.

l. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the population slope coefficient.

The College Board provided comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The overall mean SAT math score was 514. SAT math scores for independent samples of students follow. The first sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree. The second sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree.

(a)
Formulate the hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the sample data support the hypothesis that students show a higher population mean math score on the SAT if their parents attained a higher level of education. (Let μ1 = population mean verbal score of students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree and μ2 = population mean verbal score of students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree.)

H0: μ1 − μ2 = 0
Ha: μ1 − μ2 ≠ 0

H0: μ1 − μ2 < 0
Ha: μ1 − μ2 = 0
  

H0: μ1 − μ2 ≠ 0
Ha: μ1 − μ2 = 0

H0: μ1 − μ2 ≥ 0
Ha: μ1 − μ2 < 0

H0: μ1 − μ2 ≤ 0
Ha: μ1 − μ2 > 0

Professional basketball has truly become a sport that generates interest among fans around the world. More and more players come from outside the United States to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA). You want to develop a regression model to predict the number of wins achieved by each NBA team, based on field goal (shots made) percentage and three-point field goal percentage. The data are stored in NBA.xlsx

1) At the 0.05 level of significance, perform a F test to determine whether the regression model has any significant variable. Use p-value to explain.

The proportion of public accountants who have changed companies within the last three years is to be estimated within 4%. The 95% level of confidence is to be used. A study conducted several years ago revealed that the percent of public accountants changing companies within three years was 22. (Use z Distribution Table.) (Round the z-values to 2 decimal places. Round up your answers to the next whole number.)

a. To update this study, the files of how many public accountants should be studied?

b. How many public accountants should be contacted if no previous estimates of the population proportion are available?

I want to find out what the undergraduate student body thinks about the move to Division I sports, which will involve higher student fees to support the athletic program. Every evening I go to Library Walk and I ask everyone who passes by whether or not they support the move to Division I, and get 1050 responses. From this data, I calculate the proportion that support moving to Division I. I find that only 25% of those surveyed support the move to D1.

1. Can I construct a 95% confidence interval for the overall level of support for this change to D1 sports? Why or why not?

A manufacturer claims that the calling range (in feet) of its 900-MHz cordless telephone is greater than that of its leading competitor. A sample of 1919 phones from the manufacturer had a mean range of 12301230 feet with a standard deviation of 3131 feet. A sample of 1111 similar phones from its competitor had a mean range of 11901190 feet with a standard deviation of 4242 feet. Do the results support the manufacturer's claim? Let μ1μ1 be the true mean range of the manufacturer's cordless telephone and μ2μ2 be the true mean range of the competitor's cordless telephone. Use a significance level of α=0.1α=0.1 for the test. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.

According to a survey by TD Ameritrade, one out of four investors has exchange-traded funds in their portfolios (USA Today, January 11, 2007). Consider a sample of 40 investors.

Compute the probability of exactly 7 investors having exchange-traded funds in their portfolio.

Compute the probability that at least 5 of the investors have exchange-traded funds in their portfolio.

Compute the probability that at most 4 of the investors have exchange-traded funds in their portfolio.

Find the mean and standard deviation.

If you found that exactly 10 of the investors have exchange-traded funds in the

portfolio would you doubt the accuracy of the survey and why?
