Problem LIFO TO FIFO:

Most inventories owned by Deere & Company and its United States equipment subsidiaries are valued at cost, on the “last-in, first-out” (LIFO) basis. Remaining inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost, on the “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) basis, or market. The value of gross inventories on the LIFO basis represented 58 percent and 60 percent of worldwide gross inventories at FIFO value on October 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. If all inventories had been valued on a FIFO basis, estimated inventories by major classification at October 31 in millions of dollars would have been as follows:

2007   2006

Raw materials and supplies ...........................................               $ 882    $ 712

Work-in-process ...........................................................                   425       372

Finished machines and parts .........................................               2,263 2,013

Total FIFO value ........................................................ 3,570 3,097

Less adjustment to LIFO value .......................................              1,233    1,140

Please note that for all problems in this course, the standard cut-off (alpha) for a test of significance will be .05, and you always report the exact power unless SPSS output states p=.000 (you’d report p<.001). Also, remember when hand-calculating, always use TWO decimal places so that deductions in grading won’t be due to rounding differences.

#1 The population of scores on the in-person version of Dr. Hale’s first statistics test forms a normal distribution with μ = 72 and σ = 6. He thinks the online class will do significantly better because they do a TON of extra homework that the other class doesn’t do. He gives a random sample of n = 25 students the test, and this sample got an average of 75. What conclusion should he draw if this was a 2-tailed test with alpha = .05?

#2 The population of scores on the in-person version of Dr. Hale’s first statistics test forms a normal distribution with μ = 72 and σ = 6. He thinks the online class will do significantly better because they do a TON of extra homework that the other class doesn’t do. He gives a random sample of n = 25 students the test, and this sample got an average of 75. What was the null hypothesis for this study?

#3 When computing z for a sample mean, which quantity is the denominator?

#4 The population of scores on the in-person version of Dr. Hale’s first statistics test forms a normal distribution with μ = 72 and σ = 6. He thinks the online class will do significantly better because they do a TON of extra homework that the other class doesn’t do. He gives a random sample of n = 25 students the test, and this sample got an average of 75. What conclusion should he draw if this was a 2-tailed test with alpha = .01?

#5 Which of the following is not a step or rule in a hypothesis test?

#6 The population of scores on the in-person version of Dr. Hale’s first statistics test forms a normal distribution with μ = 72 and σ = 6. He thinks the online class will do significantly better because they do a TON of extra homework that the other class doesn’t do.
