Recall again that Rind & Bordia (1996) investigated whether
or not drawing a happy face
on customers’ checks increased the amount of tips received by a
waitress at an upscale
restaurant on a university campus. During the lunch hour a waitress
drew a happy,
smiling face on the checks of a random half of her customers. The
remaining half of the
customers received a check with no drawing (18 points).
The tip percentages for the control group (no happy face) are as
follows:
45% 39% 36% 34% 34% 33% 31% 31% 30% 30% 28%
28% 28% 27% 27% 25% 23% 22% 21% 21% 20% 18%
8%
The tip percentages for the experimental group (happy face) are as
follows:
72% 65% 47% 44% 41% 40% 34% 33% 33% 30% 29%
28% 27% 27% 25% 24% 24% 23% 22% 21% 21% 17%
This time, you are to perform a “hypothesis test” using the tip
data, answering each of
the questions below. For short-answer questions, be brief. However,
you must give
enough detail to justify your answers. Single-sentence responses
will generally not
suffice, but do not exceed a paragraph for any given answer.
n. What is your decision concerning the null hypothesis? Did you
reject or
retain?

The CEO of a large electric utility claims that 80 percent of
his 1,000,000 customers are very satisfied with the service they
receive. To test this claim, the local newspaper surveyed 100
customers, using simple random sampling Among the sampled
customers, 74 percent say they are very satisfied.
a)[1 pt] Is this a right-tailed, left-tailed, or 2 -tailed
test?
b) [2 pts] Find the value of the test statistic =
b) [2 pts]Find the p-value [round to 3 decimals]
c) I[1 pt]If the level of significance is 5%, what is your
decision? Explain
d){1 pt] Do the statistics support the CEO's claim that 80% are
satisfied? Explain.

44.The Suds Corporation has just suffered significant losses of revenue for three quarters in a row, and the shareholders are furious. Much of the loss can be attributed to the board's decision to change from their traditional lager beer to a lighter and smoother brew. Unfortunately, the new recipe alienated current customers and failed to bring in new customers. Although Suds has announced that it will return to its original product, the shareholders are claiming the board violated its fiduciary duty of care, and they are suing the directors personally for their significant losses. What must the shareholders prove to win their lawsuit? What defense is available to the directors, and what must they prove to prevail?

Does anyone need to drive a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV)? Should they be exempt from CAFÉ standards?
Should the government subsidize automakers to develop zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs)?
