What is the current U.S. trade balance? You have just read arguments for and against sustaining a trade deficit—which do you find more persuasive and why?

Amstat News (December 2004) lists median salaries for associate professors of statistics at research institutions and at liberal arts and other institutions in the United States. Assume a sample of 200 associate professors from research institutions having an average salary of $70,750 per year with a standard deviation of $6000. Assume also a sample of 200 associate professors from other types of institutions having an average salary of $65,200 with a standard deviation of $5000. Test the hypothesis that the mean salary for associate professors in research institutions is $2000 higher than for those in other institutions. Use a 0.01 level of significance.

Over a 20-year period, the average sentence given to defendants convicted of aggravated assault in the United States was 25.9 months. Assume this to be your population mean. Because you think it might be different in your home state, you conduct a little study to examine this question. You take a random sample of 175 jurisdictions in your home state and find that the mean sentence for aggravated assault is 27.3 months, with a standard deviation of 6.5. Test the null hypothesis that the mean sentence length in your state is 25.9 months against the alternative hypothesis that it is different from that. Set your alpha level at .01.

The ABC insurance INC. reports that the mean annual premium for automobile insurance in the United States was $1608 in summer 2018. However, you believed automobile insurance was cheaper in North Carolina and decided to develop statistical support for your opinion. A sample of 25 automobile insurance policies from the state of North Carolina showed a mean annual premium of $1560 with a standard deviation of s = $165. a. Develop a hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether the mean annual premium in North Carolina was lower than the national mean annual premium. b. At a = .05, test for a significant difference. What is your conclusion?
