Locate the results of a recent survey that show at least two variables in a newspaper, magazine, or internet article. Outline the survey data so that your peers can understand the variables and results. Then identify at least one key statistical inference formula involving two of more parameters that you could use to evaluate the data. Provide a brief explanation of why you selected the formula you did and why it matters. Also, explain what the formula is and where it is in the textbook and clearly define your parameters. Do not use regression or correlation examples since we will cover them during the next module.

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced.

As a shift manager at a local fast food place, you are responsible for ensuring quality control. You do not want to weigh all the frozen hamburger patties that get delivered by your supplier to make sure they weigh four ounces on average, so you choose 25 patties at random. You calculate that the sample mean weight of patties is 3.4 ounces and the standard deviation of the weight of hamburger patties to be 0.5 ounces.

(a) Test the hypothesis that the population mean weight of patties is equal to 4 ounces.

(b) You are particularly concerned about the population weight being under 4 ounces, is there any reason for concern? Explain using the concept of a confidence interval.

What is the difference between a Paired t-test and a Pooled t-test?

Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of arterial plasma (i.e., acidity of the blood). For healthy adults, the mean of the x distribution is μ = 7.4.† A new drug for arthritis has been developed. However, it is thought that this drug may change blood pH. A random sample of 41 patients with arthritis took the drug for 3 months. Blood tests showed that x = 8.4 with sample standard deviation s = 3.0. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the drug has changed (either way) the mean pH level of the blood.

(a) What is the level of significance?


State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H₀: μ > 7.4; H₁: μ = 7.4

H₀: μ = 7.4; H₁: μ > 7.4    

H₀: μ = 7.4; H₁: μ ≠ 7.4

H₀: μ = 7.4; H₁: μ < 7.4

H₀: μ ≠ 7.4; H₁: μ = 7.4

(b) What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution.

The Student's t, since the sample size is large and σ is unknown.

The standard normal, since the sample size is large and σ is unknown.    

The Student's t, since the sample size is large and σ is known.

The standard normal, since the sample size is large and σ is known.

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)


(c) Estimate the P-value.

P-value > 0.250

0.100 < P-value < 0.250    

0.050 < P-value < 0.100

0.010 < P-value < 0.050

P-value < 0.010

Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level α?

At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.

At the α = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.    

At the α = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.

At the α = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.

(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

There is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to conclude that the drug has changed the mean pH level of the blood.

There is insufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to conclude that the drug has changed the mean pH level of the blood.

I need help for a research class on determining the characteristic and behaviour of people.

) The U.S. Census Bureau computes quarterly vacancy and homeownership rates by state and metropolitan statistical areas. The following data are the rental vacancy rates in percentage (%) grouped by region for the first quarter of 2019 using a sample of 4 statistical metropolitan areas.

Vacancy rates (%)

Region Northeast South West
1 6 12 8

2 5 9 10

3 9 11 8

4 4 8 6

Sample Mean Sample   6 10 8

Variance 4.7 3.3 2.7

a.(10pt) Perform an ANOVA test to find if there are vacancy rates differences among the regions. Allow 1% error on your test.

b. (5pt) Do you think that the mean vacancy rate is the same for these regions? Why?

We consider 7 bags each containing 6 balls. Each ball is numbered from 1 to 6. The first 6 bags contain 6 balls where all numbers from 1 to 6 are present. The 7th bag contains 6 balls that all have the same number equal to 6. You take a bag randomly. You shoot a ball and put it back in its bag. You shoot another ball and you put it back in his bag and you observe that the two balls have the number 6. What is the probability of choosing the 7th bag?

On considère 7 sacs contenant chacun 6 balles. Chaque balle est numérotée de 1 à 6. Les 6 premiers sacs contiennent 6 balles où tous les numéros de 1 à 6 sont présents. Le 7-ième sac contient 6 balles qui ont toutes le même numéro égal à 6. Vous prenez un sac au hasard. Vous tirez une balle et vous la replacez dans son sac. Vous tirez une autre balle et vous la replacez dans son sac et vous observez que les deux balles ont le numéro 6. Quelle est la probabilité de choisir le 7-ième sac ?

Jobs and productivity! How do retail stores rate? One way to answer this question is to examine annual profits per employee. The following data give annual profits per employee (in units of 1 thousand dollars per employee) for companies in retail sales. Assume σ ≈ 3.9 thousand dollars.

(a) Use a calculator or appropriate computer software to find x for the preceding data. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
thousand dollars per employee

(b) Let us say that the preceding data are representative of the entire sector of retail sales companies. Find an 80% confidence interval for μ, the average annual profit per employee for retail sales. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(c) Let us say that you are the manager of a retail store with a large number of employees. Suppose the annual profits are less than 3 thousand dollars per employee. Do you think this might be low compared with other retail stores? Explain by referring to the confidence interval you computed in part (b).

Yes. This confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee are less than those of other retail stores.No. This confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee do not differ from those of other retail stores.    

(d) Suppose the annual profits are more than 6.5 thousand dollars per employee. As store manager, would you feel somewhat better? Explain by referring to the confidence interval you computed in part (b).

Yes. This confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee are greater than those of other retail stores.No. This confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee do not differ from those of other retail stores.    

(e) Find an 95% confidence interval for μ, the average annual profit per employee for retail sales. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

A scientist has read that the mean birth weight μ of babies born at full term is 7.3 pounds. The scientist, believing that the mean birth weight of babies born at full term is less than this value, plans to perform a statistical test. She selects a random sample of 50 birth weights of babies born at full term. Suppose that the population of birth weights of babies born at full term has a standard deviation of 1.7 pounds and that the scientist performs her hypothesis test using the 0.01 level of significance.
