A polling company contends that an agent conducts a mean of 53 in-depth home surveys every week. A streamlined survey form has been introduced, and the company wants to evaluate its effectiveness. The number of in-depth surveys conducted during a week by a random sample of agents are: 53 57 50 55 58 54 60 52 59 62 60 60 51 59 56 If we want to test at the .05 level of significance, whether the mean number of interviews conducted by the agents more than 53 per week, which of the following findings would be correct? Select one: a.Reject Hg. The mean number of surveys conducted is no greater than 53. The p-value is less than 0.05. b. Reject H. The mean number of surveys conducted is greater than 53. The p-value is less than 0.01. c. Reject Ho. The mean number of surveys conducted is greater than 53. The p-value is close to 0.000. d.Reject Ho. The mean number of surveys conducted is greater than 53. The p-value is less than 0.005. e.Do not reject Hg. The mean number of surveys conducted is no greater than 53. The p-value is less than 0.005.

In each of the following settings, decide whether you should use two-sample z procedures for a difference in proportions, two- sample t procedures for a difference in means, or paired t procedures for a mean difference. (a) A city planner is comparing traffic patterns at two different intersections. He randomly selects 12 times between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and he and his assistant count the number of cars passing through each intersection during the 10- minute interval that begins at that time.

A random sample of 25 Berkeley College students was asked, “How many hours per week typically do you work outside the home?” Their responses were as follows: {0, 0, 15, 20, 30, 40, 30, 20, 35, 35, 28, 15, 20, 25, 25, 30, 5, 10, 30, 24, 28, 30, 35, 15, 15} a. Find the mean, the median and the mode of hours worked outside the home for the sample data. Show all your work to justify your answer. b. Use the above data to complete the following table summarizing the number of hours worked outside the home. Express the relative frequency as a percent. Class Tally Frequency Relative Frequency 0-10 11-20 21-30 31-40 Total c. Find the five-number summary of the hours worked outside of the home by the 25 Berkeley College students.
Previously, an organization reported that teenagers spend 12.5 hours per week, on average, on the phone. The organization thinks that, currently, the mean is lower. Twenty-three randomly chosen teenagers were asked how many hours per week they spend on the phone, with the following results (in hours): 10.4, 10.4, 17.3, 11.2, 10, 15.2, 9.5, 5.8, 12.5, 11.8, 7.3, 10.6, 11.5, 16.2, 16.5, 14.3, 12.3, 9.9, 13.7, 8.6, 11.3, 13, 16.5 Perform a hypothesis test using a 10% level of significance. Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: pv 12.5 12.5 (So we will be performing a left-tailed Vv test.) Step 2: Assuming the null hypothesis is true, determine the features of the distribution of point estimates using the Central Limit Theorem. By the Central Limit Theorem, we know that the point estimates are t-distributed with distribution mean and distribution standard deviation Step 3: Find the p-value of the point estimate. = P(tv sv p-value = Step 4: Make a Conclusion About the nulI…
A real-estate appraiser wants to verify the market value for homes on the east side of the city that are very similar to size and style. The appraiser wants to test the popular belief that the average sales price is $37.80 per square foot for such homes. Suppose that a random sample of six sales were selected. The sampled sales prices per square foot are $35.00, $38.10, $37.20, $29.80, $30.30, and $35.40. Assuming a normal distribution is a good model for sales, test the claim that the mean sales price per square foot differs from $37.80 at the 1% significance level.
