A recent report claims that non-college graduates get married at an earlier age than college graduates. To support the claim, random samples of size 100 were selected from each group, and the mean age at the time of marriage was recorded. The mean and standard deviation of the non-college graduates were 22.5 years and 1.4 years respectively, while the mean and standard deviation of college graduates were 23 years and 1.8 years respectively. Test the hypothesis (the claim being made) of the report.

You stop by a crafts fair and you notice consumers haggling with vendors over prices. What does this tell you about the competitiveness of this market? Suppose you plan to go to a farmers’ market next. Do you expect to find more or less haggling at this market than you did at the crafts fair? Why?
compare and contrast these markets to a non-standardized market where consumers do not perceive sellers as all being the same. Provide an example of a non-standardized market.

25 players were asked about their salary. They were classified into pitchers and non-pitchers and the following results were obtained: 14 launchers with sample mean of 4,296,106 and sample standard deviation of 4,434,937. 11 non-pitchers with sample mean of 4,167,579 and sample standard deviation of 4,484,641. Assume that the population deviations are the same. Considering a significance level of 0.05, what can be concluded (using p-value)? And mention the type of error that is being made. Construct a confidence interval for the difference in wages of 95%

A bug of a known mass m stands at a distance d from the axis of a non-uniform spinning disk with radius r and unknown rotational inertia I that is rotating at fi revolutions per second. After the bug walks out to the edge of the disk and stands there, the disk rotates at ff revolutions per second.
a. Determine the rotational inertia of the non-uniform disk.
b. Determine the change of kinetic energy in going from the initial to the final situation for the total bug-disk system.

The death rate per 100,000 for lung cancer is 7 among non-smokers and 71 among smokers. The death rate per 100,000 for coronary thrombosis is 422 among non-smokers and 599 among smokers. The prevalence of smoking in the population is 55%.
a. What is the etiologic fraction of disease due to smoking among individuals with lung cancer? 0.90 for lung cancer and 0.29 for coronary thrombosis.
b. What is the etiologic fraction of disease due to smoking among individuals with coronary thrombosis?
