Given that the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis
are:
H0: μm -
μw = 3
H1: μm - μw ≠
3
and using a 0.05 significance level conduct a t-test about a difference in population means:
| a) | What is the correct decision rule?
|
b) Compute the pooled variance.
For full marks your answer should be accurate to at least four
decimal places.
Pooled variance: 0
c) Compute the value of the test statistic.
For full marks your answer should be accurate to at least three
decimal places.
Test statistic: 0
| d) | What is your decision regarding H0?

Explain meaning of integration by using the information and example given
Integration • In the context of integration, explain the difference, and illustrate with an example, between after tax cash of $10,000 earned as interest income and as eligible dividend income. Use the combined 38.29% Federal and BC marginal tax rate and the 2020 rates for general corporate tax and eligible dividend tax credit (hint 27%, 38%, 15.02%, 12%)

Listed below are ages of actresses and actors at the time that they won an award for the categories of Best Actress and Best Actor. Use the sample data to test for a difference between the ages of actresses and actors when they win the award. Use a 0.10 significance level. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Actress's age: 16, 25, 24, 49, 27 Actor's age: 43, 40, 65, 55, 42
Hypothesis test. Please include confidence interval.

You are constructing a portfolio of two assets, Asset A and Asset B. The expected returns of the assets are 10 percent and 27 percent, respectively. The standard deviations of the assets are 17 percent and 31 percent, respectively. The correlation between the two assets is 0.07 and the risk-free rate is 3 percent. What is the optimal Sharpe ratio in a portfolio of the two assets? (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your Sharpe ratio answer to 4 decimal places when calculating your answer. )

listed below are the numbers of forest fires (in thousands) and the acres that were burned (in hundred thousands) during a year.
x 70 65 58 48 83 65 56 42
y 28 41 22 27 53 19 30 18
find the value of the linear correlation coefficient r and use a significance level of a=0.05 to determine whether there is a significant linear correlation between the two variables.
Find the best predicted value (including units) for the number of acres burned given that there were 60 thousand fires.

Consider the following data drawn independently from normally distributed populations: (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table)
x−1 = 24.7 x−2 = 29.6
σ= 95.4 σ = 93.2
n1 = 29 n2 = 27
a. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population means. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round all intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

As part of a research program for a new cholesterol drug, a pharmaceutical company would like to investigate the relationship between the ages and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol of men. The following data set shows the ages and LDL cholesterol levels of seven randomly selected men. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the average LDL cholesterol level of a 30 year old man.
| Age | Cholesterol |
