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?

A) A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed lifespan, with a mean of 3 years, and standard deviation of 0.6 years.

If you randomly purchase one item, what is the probability it will last longer than 2 years?

Use the normal table and round answer to four decimal places

B) In the country of United States of Heightlandia, the height measurements of ten-year-old children are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 56.8 inches, and standard deviation of 4.6 inches.

What is the probability that the height of a randomly chosen child is between 60.8 and 62.1 inches?

Use the Normal table and give answer to 4 decimal places

Using survey data to calculate statistics can be extremely valuable, but you must also make sure that the sample and questions are unbiased. Design a pair of questions that are related to the same healthcare issue: one that is unbiased and another that would result in a bias in one direction or the other. Examples: Do you think that the rate of type II diabetes diagnoses will increase over the next 10 years? Given the large increase in childhood obesity in the United States, do you think that type II diabetes diagnoses will increase over the next 10 years? Discuss why it is important to create a truly unbiased sample and survey questions.

Discuss the pros and cons of having a strong dollar. Until recently, Los Angeles lost revenue and jobs to Canada because the strength of the American dollar made it cost-efficient to move movie and television production out of the country. (It should be noted that Canada also made some fiscal concessions to encourage this change of venue.) However, by 2008, the dollar had weakened so significantly that China was persuaded to announce it could no longer export rice profitably to the United States. Clearly, whether the dollar is weak or strong, there will be winners and losers in the equation. Can you think of any suggestions for equalizing the gains and losses experienced on both sides?
