  1. A study was conducted to examine whether the perception of service quality at hotels differed by gender. Hotel guests were randomly selected to rate hotel service, and each rating was then transferred into a standardized score. By comparing the scores observed from the sample of male guests and the sample of female guests, researchers then wished to determine if there is evidence of a difference in average rating when awarded by males, μ 1, and the average rating when awarded by females, μ 2. A summary of the sampled guest scores are provided in the table below :

  1. i) Carry out a hypothesis test for a significant difference between the two population means, at significance level α = 0.05.
    The hypotheses being tested are:
    H 0: μ 1 - μ 2 = 0
    H a: μ 1 - μ 2 ≠ 0.
    Complete the test by filling in the blanks in the following:
    • An estimate of the difference in population means is .
    • Assuming the population standard deviations are equal, σ12, the pooled estimate, sp, is  and the standard error is .
    • The distribution is  (examples: normal / t12 / chisquare4 / F5,6).

The test statistic has value TS=  .
Testing at significance level α = 0.05, the rejection region is:
less than  and greater than  (3 dec places).
There  (is evidence/is no evidence) to reject the null hypothesis, H 0 of no difference between the two population means, μ 1 and μ 2.

ii) Estimate the difference in population means by calculating a 95% confidence interval.
The difference between the population means, the mean of population 1, μ 1, minus the mean of population 2, μ 2, is estimated to be between________  and__________ .

George Smith was the sole director and only shareholder of Chameleon Construction Ltd. When the construction industry was strong he borrowed $250,000 from the bank.

George Smith was the sole director and only shareholder of Chameleon Construction Ltd. When the construction industry was strong he borrowed $250,000 from the bank. The security agreement gave the bank a fixed charge against the following assets:

1. Crane truck which was purchased for $35,000;

2. Framing machine which was purchased for $125,000;

3. Cutting machine which was purchased for $50,000.

 

The bank registered the security agreement on March 1. However, the serial number of the Crane truck was improperly transcribed. The bank then advanced all the funds. In October the bank manager became concerned about the money lent. The construction industry was in a recession because of high interest rates and the new G.S.T. The bank manager received a directive form the bank's head office telling all bank managers that outstanding loans to construction companies must be reduced by 30%. The bank manager then gave George an unlimited guarantee for all of the loans of the company and required he, his wife and his father to sign it. George took it home where he, his wife and his father signed it after George said to them that it was a temporary loan to the company. The guarantee was returned to the bank manager. The company continued to make all payments as they became due to the bank. However, the rent on the premises which held the framing and cutting machine fell into arrears in the sum of $20,000.

 

Two weeks later the bank manager, following the directive, demanded that George repay $75,000 of the outstanding loan. The company did not have the money at the time but George endorsed a cheque in the sum of $25,000, which he received from the owner for job site 1, but told the bank that they were not to cash it because the cheque was conditional on completing that job. The company then assigned all of the proceeds for job site 2 ($50,000) to the bank. George told the bank manger that that job would not be completed and the moneys would not be due and owing until December 27.

 

Sensing pending difficulties George went to Lender 2 and borrowed $40,000 and gave it to his wife. Lender 2 knew of the previous security agreement with the bank but when it did a computer search, he discovered the error in the serial number. This security agreement took as collateral the crane truck and all accounts receivable. It was properly registered. The next day the bank called the loan and immediately appointed a receiver. The landlord seized the cutting machine and refused to let the bank sell it. The bank sold the framing machine to another customer of the bank for $30,000.
