Refer to the Baseball 2016 data, which report information on the 30 Major League Baseball teams for the 2016 season. a. At the .05 significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the mean salary of teams in the American League versus teams in the National League? b. At the .05 significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the mean home attendance of teams in the American League versus teams in the National League? c. Compute the mean and the standard deviation of the number of wins for the 10 teams with the highest salaries. Do the same for the 10 teams with the lowest salaries. At the .05 significance level, is there a difference in the mean number of wins for the two groups? At the .05 significance level, is there a difference in the mean attendance for the two groups?

When Congress was considering the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1993, Ross Perot, a prominent business owner (and third-party candidate for president in 1992) argued that it would do no good for the USA to engage in trade with Mexico, since Mexicans, according to Perot, had incomes that were too low to allow them to afford American goods. Thus, he claimed, trade between the two countries would simply be in one direction with low-wage Mexicans producing and sending cheap goods into the USA but no producers in the USA being able to sell anything to Mexicans. Economically speaking (applying trade theory), is the scenario that Perot described what actually happens in trading relationships? Please explain.

1. US News publishes annual statistics based on the performance and demographic data reported for major universities. Suppose this year, US News releases its publication and finds that only 6% of students at a particular university consider themselves African-American. The response at the University was outrage, and a local student group conducted a comprehensive survey in order to correct the publication that they believe was flawed. Suppose that, out of a sample of 3,496 students, the university found that 487 identified as African-American.

Conduct a formal test to determine if the proportion of students identifying as African-Americans differs significantly from the proportion published in US News. Use an α=0.05. Be sure to include each of the four steps of hypothesis testing. Do not use excel.

1) In 2003, the American Psychological Association conduced a survey of a random sample of psychologists with various academic degrees and levels of experience. Of the 31 psychologists who received a masters degree in 2003, the mean income was $43,834 with a standard deviation of $16,870. Use this information to construct a 99% confidence interval for the average salary of psychologists receiving masters degrees in 2003.

In 2013, the Gallup Poll asked 1015 American adults whether they believed that people should pay sales tax on items purchased over the internet. Of these, 437 said they supported such a tax. Does the survey provide enough evidence that less than 45% of American adults favor an internet sales tax? Use α = 0.05 level of significance?

b) Step 2: Find the test statistic.

c) Step 3: P-value OR Critical value(s): Label answer as “P-value” or “CV” and draw a detailed curve.

d) Step 4: Decision

e) Step 5: Conclusion

f) What does the level of significance α = 0.05 means in hypothesis testing?

1. You are a director of finance of a well-known reputable corporation and in recent years the business has experienced tremendous success. During a board meeting the need to expand internationally was debated although the limited avenues to raise equity and debt domestically may jeopardise such expansion ambitions. One of the choices is to try to raise funds internationally and one of the options would be to list the company on the American market. After talks with the advisory service of a global investment bank an issue of American depositary receipts (ADRs) was suggested. Based on the advice given by the investment banker you are asked to brief the board how ADRs work, what levels of issues can you choose, and the limitations imposed by regulation.
