A businessman is considering investing in the small business. A random sample of 45 companies revealed that the mean was 6.4% of return and the standard deviation was 1.3%. Do the data support that the return differs from 6% with significance level α=0.01;0.02;0.03; 0.04;0.05? Use P-value.

According to Management Accounting, salary figures for certified management accountants (CMAs) who are in the field less than 1 year are normally distributed with a mean of $31,129. A random sample of 15 firstyear CMAs in Denver produces a mean salary of $32,279, with a standard deviation of $1,797. Test the hypothesis that the mean for all Denver firstyear CMAs is not equal to $31,129. Use the .05 level of significance. 1. State the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis 2.What is the test statistic used for the test (z or t) and it’s critical value (round to 2 places) 3. Determine the p-value. And do you or do you not reject the null hypothesis?

Estimate the percentage of showers that used (a) between 13.6 and 26.4 gallons. % (b) more than 26.4 gallons. % (c) less than 10.4 gallons. % (d) between 16.8 and 29.6 gallons. %
Fran is training for her first marathon, and she wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners who are training for marathons. She interviews 42 randomly selected people who train in groups and finds that they run a mean of 47.1 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 4.4 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 47 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 48.5 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 1.8 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
A new small business wants to know if its current radio advertising is effective. The owners decide to look at the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store on days immediately following days when the radio ads are played as compared to the mean for those days following days when no radio advertisements are played. They found that for 10 days following no advertisements, the mean was 18.3 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.8 customers. On 7 days following advertising, the mean was 19.4 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.6 customers. Test the claim, at the 0.02 level, that the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store is lower for days following no advertising compared to days following advertising. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal. Let days following no advertisements be Population 1 and let days following advertising be Population 2. Step 3 of 3: Draw a…

A new small business wants to know if its current radio advertising is effective. The owners decide to look at the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store on days immediately following days when the radio ads are played as compared to the mean for those days following days when no radio advertisements are played. They found that for 7 days following no advertisements, the mean was 22.1 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.2 customers. On 10 days following advertising, the mean was 24.1 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.6 customers. Test the claim, at the 0.05 level, that the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store is lower for days following no advertising compared to days following advertising. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal.

A recent study found that 61 children who watched a commercial for potato chips featuring a celebrity endorser ate a mean of 39 grams of potato chips as compared to a mean of 28 grams for 51 children who watched a commercial for an alternative food snack. Suppose that the sample standard deviation for the children who watched the celebrity-endorsed commercial was 21.2 grams and the sample standard deviation for the children who watched the alternative food snack commercial was 12.7 grams. What is the test statistic? tSTAT= __________ (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
