The manager has data from ten years prior that show 30% of sales come from Clothing, 25% Home Appliances, 18% Housewares, 13% Cosmetics, 12% Jewelry, and 2% Other. In a random sample of 550 current sales, 188 came from Clothing, 153 Home Appliances, 83 Housewares, 54 Cosmetics, 61 Jewelry, and 11 Other. At α=0.10, can the manager conclude that the distribution of sales among the departments ha...

Question: It is known that 50% of adult workers have a high school diploma. If a random sample of 8 adult workers is selected, what is the probability that less than 6 of them have a high school diploma? 3. Question: If random variable X has a binomial distribution with n=9 and P(success) =p= 0.4, find the standard deviation of X. 4. Question: If random variable X...

The number of degrees of freedom for a test of independence is equal to: the sample size minus one The F Statistic from an experiment with k = 4 and n = 100 is 4.72. At α = 0.01, will you reject the null hypothesis? yes Students at a high school are asked to evaluate their experience in the class at the end of each school year. The courses are evaluated on a 1-4 scale - with 4 being the best experience possible. In the History Department, the courses typically are evaluated at 10% ...

1. Question: The least squares regression line for a data set is yˆ=5+0.3x and the standard deviation of the residuals is 0.4. Does a case with the values x = 3.3, y = 7.2 qualify as an outlier? 2. Question: The least squares regression line for a data set is yˆ=5+0.3x and the standard deviation of the residuals is 0.52. Does a case with the values x = -1.59, y = 5.78 qualify as an outlier? 3.

1. Question: A manager wishes to see if the time (in minutes) it takes for their workers to complete a certain task is faster if they are wearing earbuds. A random sample of 20 workers' times were collected before and after wearing earbuds. Test the claim that the time to complete the task will be faster, i.e. meaning has production increased, at a significance level of α = 0.01 For the context of this problem, µD = µbefore−µafter where the first data set represents before earbuds and the...
