Many investors and financial analysts believe the Dow Jones
Industrial Average (DJIA) gives a good barometer of the overall
stock market. On January 31, 2006, 9 of the 30 stocks making up the
DJIA increased in price (The Wall Street Journal, February 1,
2006). On the basis of this fact, a financial analyst claims we can
assume that 30% of the stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) went up the same day.
A sample of 79 stocks traded on the NYSE that day showed that 33
went up.
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of stocks that
went up is is significantly more than 0.3. You use a significance
level of α=0.002.

A survey claims that the average cost of a hotel room in Atlanta is more than $125.50 per night. To test this claim, a researcher selects a random sample of 55 hotel rooms and finds that the mean cost per night is $130.75. The standard deviation of the population, σ, is known to be $2.50. At a = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the claim?

A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.1 in. and standard deviation 2.3 in. The survey also found that men's heights are normally distributed with mean 69.6 in. and standard deviation 3.4 in. Most of the live characters employed at an amusement park have height requirements of a minimum of 57 in. and a maximum of 62 in. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.
a. Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. What does the result suggest about the genders of the people who are employed as characters at the amusement park?
b. If the height requirements are changed to exclude only the tallest 50% of men and the shortest 5% of men, what are the new height requirements? The new height requirements are a minimum of ? in. and a maximum of ? in.
