A company has two chemist, Mr. Morris and Mr. Logan to produce their drinks.
Mr. John, their boss, is not pleased with Mr. Logan’s attitude to work, so he is contemplating firing Mr. Logan and
keeping Mr. Morris only to perform this job. The problem, however, is that Mr. Logan seems to produce a higher quality drink whenever he oversees production when compared to Mr. Morris. Before making a final decision,
Mr. John decided to collect data measuring the quality of different batches of
drinks produced by Mr. Morris and Mr. Logan to make a better-informed
decision. The results, measured on a quality scale, are listed below:
Name |
Average |
Standard Deviation |
|
Mr. Logan |

Mr. Morris |

a) Based on this data above, advise Mr. John whether Mr. Logan is
better at making the signature sauce than Mr. Morris by using
hypothesis testing – use the critical value approach with a level of
significance at 5%.

- The state and local police departments are trying to analyze crime rates so they can shift their patrols from decreasing-rate areas to areas where rates are increasing. The city and county have been geographically segmented into areas containing 5,000 residences. The police recognize that not all crimes and offenses are reported: people do not want to become involved, consider the offenses too small to report, are too embarrassed to make a police report, or do not take the time, among other reasons. Every month, because of this, the police are contacting by phone a random sample of 1,000 of the 5,000 residences for data on crime. (Respondents are guaranteed anonymity.) Here are the data collected for the past 12 months for one area: CRIME MONTH INCIDENCE SAMPLE SIZE CRIME RATE January 7 1,000 0.007 February 9 1,000 0.009 March 7 1,000 0.007 April 7 1,000 0.007 May 7 1,000 0.007 June 9 1,000 0.009 July 7 1,000 0.007 August 10 1,000 0.010 September 8 1,000 0.008 October 11 1,000 0.011…arrow_forwardTwo employees (Molly and Jim) must conduct a data analysis project on the success of a firm’s marketing efforts and then write a report of their findings for consideration by the firm’s board. If the first employee, Molly, worked completely alone, she could finish the data analysis component of the project with 30 hours of work and could write the report with an additional 10 hours of work. If Jim worked alone, he would take 48 hours of work to conduct the data analysis and then 12 hours to write the report. Assume that both employees need to contribute to the project, that there would be no benefits to having two people work on the same part of the project (data analysis and writing), and that working on the two parts are independent (i.e. there is no benefit to working on both parts). Which employee has the comparative advantage in conducting the data analysis? Explainarrow_forwardA student was interested in the impact of nutrition and exercise on mental health. She recruited a sample of 80 individuals. She divided the participants into 4 groups. One group was a control group. There was no treatment for this group. The second group was the diet group. These participants followed a strict diet that was designed by a dietitian. The nutrients in the diet were optimized for each individual. The third group was an exercise group. These participants worked with a personal trainer on an individualized exercise plan. The fourth group was the exercise and diet group. This group had both the dietitian and personal trainer intervention. After 3 weeks of treatment (or control), She measured their mental health with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS). Some of the information is included in the ANOVA table below but I spilled a coffee on the output and the student already deleted the raw data...oh, no!!

- The owner of a chain of mini-markets wants to compare the sales performance of two of her stores, Store 1 and Store 2.

The results of the study are given in the following table with y 5 1 if the project was successfully completed in the allocated time and y 5 0 if the project was not successfully completed. a.

- A researcher thinks some social media sites are more prone to narcissistic behavior (excessive posting) than others. To examine the relationship between narcissism and social media, she recruits users of three different social media sites (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), follows them for 24 hours and records the number of posts made by each user. The number of posts is given in the table below. Twitter Facebook Instagram 10 7 14 10 8. 10 10 10 11 9. www. 12 wwww. 11 13 12 8. 7 8. 11 8 10 12 11 11 a.

He suspects that only 9.7% of his customers buy a magazine and he thinks that he might be able to use the display space to sell something more profitable. Before making a final decision, he decides that for one day he will keep track of the number of customers that buy a magazine. Assuming his suspicion that 9.7% of his customers buy a magazine is correct, what is the probability that exactly 6 out of the first 13 customers buy a magazine? 0.000305894 0.00100664 0.000699781 0.000778757 0.000204114 0.000326183arrow_forwardThe following table lists highway miles (in MPG) and weight (in pounds) for a variety of cars, foreign and domestic (same data as before).

Though the two stores have been comparable in the past, the owner has made several improvements to Store 1 and wishes to see if the improvements have made Store 1 more popular than Store 2. Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same 12 days, chosen at random.

You therefore design two separate studies. Study 1: You give a questionnaire about exercise. This questionnaire yields a score between 0 and 30, with 0 being never exercises, and 30 being exercises near constantly. You also give a questionnaire about anxiety. This questionnaire yields a score between 0 and 50, with 0 being not anxious at all, and 50 being extremely anxious. You then see if scores on the exercise questionnaire are related to scores on the anxiety questionnaire. Study 2: You randomly assign individuals to one of two groups. Group 1 must exercise for an hour a day 5 days a week, for one month. Group 2 must not exercise at all for the whole month. After the month, you conduct a formal diagnostic interview with each person to determine their level of anxiety. This anxiety interview yields an anxiety scale between 1 and 20. You then see if mean anxiety, as measured by the interview, is significantly…arrow_forward
