Nine experts rated two brands of Colombian coffee in a taste-testing experiment. A rating on a 7-point scale ( 1=1= 1 equals extremely unpleasing, 7=7= 7 equals extremely pleasing) is given for each of four characteristics: taste, aroma, richness, and acidity. The following data stored in Coffee contain the ratings accumulated over all four characteristics:

  • a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a difference in the mean ratings between the two brands?

  • b. What assumption is necessary about the population distribution in order to perform this test?

  • c. Determine the p-value in (a) and interpret its meaning.

  • d. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference in the mean ratings between the two brands.

The International League of Triple-A minor league baseball consists of 14 teams organized into three divisions:

 

The International League of Triple-A minor league baseball consists of 14 teams organized into three divisions: North, South, and West. Suppose the following data show the average attendance for the 14 teams in the International League. Also shown are the teams' records; W denotes the number of games won, L denotes the number of games lost, and PCT is the proportion of games played that were won.

Team Name Division W L PCT Attendance
Buffalo Bisons North 66 77 0.462 8,817
Lehigh Valley IronPigs North 55 89 0.382 8,472

Louisville Bats West 88 56 0.611 9,156
Toledo Mud Hens West 75 69 0.521 8,232

(a)

Use α = 0.05 to test for any difference in the mean attendance for the three divisions.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: μN = μS = μW
Ha: μNμSμWH0: Not all the population means are equal.
Ha: μN = μS = μW    H0: μNμSμW
Ha: μN = μS = μWH0: μN = μS = μW
Ha: Not all the population means are equal.H0: At least two of the population means are equal.
Ha: At least two of the population means are different.

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

p-value =

State your conclusion.

Reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean attendance values are not equal for the three divisions.Do not reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean attendance values are not equal for the three divisions.    Do not reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean attendance values are not equal for the three divisions.Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean attendance values are not equal for the three divisions.

(b)

Use Fisher's LSD procedure to determine where the differences occur. Use α = 0.05.

Find the value of LSD for each pair of divisions. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Magi Chen is the managing director of Sun Construction Pty Ltd, a family owned business that provides construction services. As Magi is interested in purchasing some new construction equipment’s for her business, she has approached her local bank for finance. The bank has asked that Magi provide an audited financial statement to assist them in considering her loan application. Magi has approached your audit firm for this service and you have been allocated the task of auditing Sun Construction for the year ended 30 June 2019. You have undertaken a preliminary review of the business and determined that a substantive testing approach would be suitable and appropriate. You are currently preparing an audit program for the revenue cycle. The following information has been obtained from your review: • Magi usually works 120 hours a fortnight. Part of this time is spent travelling between different clients and is not charged to the clients. The remaining time is charged at $60 per hour, regardless of the task undertaken. • Customers typically pay Magi in cash for the work undertaken, except for a small number of regular small-business customers. Magi allows these customers to pay on account by bank transfer on a monthly basis. • Magi supplies each cash customer with a written receipt, prepared manually from a receipt book purchased at the local news-agency. The book contains pre-numbered blank receipts, which are completed in duplicate. Required: For each of the assertions of occurrence, completeness and accuracy, identify a procedure(s) you could use to audit Sun Construction's revenue.
