2. The new mayor of a Midwestern city has developed a list of administration goals and objectives for the city: (a) establish effective government by incorporating improved information systems and management practices; (b) improve intergovernmental cooperation for more cost-effective service delivery; (c) build public support for administration priorities through two-way communication; (d) make timely investments in roads, utilities, sewers, parks, and alternative transportation systems to encourage responsible growth and sustain a healthy economy; (e) maintain and improve the city as a place where people can live and work without fear; (f) protect the community’s natural assets and enhance environmental quality; (g) work to improve the economic health of the city in an equitable manner for all citizens; (h) support and facilitate access to basic social services for all citizens; (i) establish a customer-driven city workplace; and (j) maintain and improve park services and facilities. Use this statement to structure both a program budget format and a new performance budget format for the city. For the latter, identify measurable performance indicators.

A researcher wished to compare the average daily hotel room rates between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The researcher obtained an SRS of 15 hotels in downtown San Francisco and found the sample mean ? ̅1=$156, with a standard deviation ?_1= $15. The researcher also obtained an independent SRS of 10 hotels in downtown Los Angeles and found the sample mean ? ̅_2= $143, with a standard deviation ?_2= $10. Let 1 and 2 represent the mean cost of the populations of all hotels in these cities, respectively. Assume the two-sample t procedures are safe to use, i.e. Unequal Variances. a)Suppose the researcher had wished to test the hypotheses H0: µ1 = µ2 vs. Ha: µ1 ≠ µ2 at the 5% significance level (i.e., α = 0.05). The numerical value of the two-sample t statistic is? b)What is your P-value? c)What are your statistical conclusion and its interpretation? Use significance level, α = 0.05 (or 5%

. d)Based on your P-value and conclusion in (b) and (c), will you conclude that a 99% confidence interval for µ1 - µ2 includes the value 0? Explain.
