- Researchers conducted a study on using a chief executive officer's facial structure to predict a firm's financial performance. The facial width-to-height ratio (WHR) for each in a sample of 53 CEOs at publicly traded firms was determined. The sample resulted in x= 1.94 and s = 0.15. An analyst wants to predict the financial performance of a firm based on the value of the true mean facial WHR of CEOs. The analyst wants to use the value of u = 2.2. Do you recommend he use this value? Conduct a test of hypothesis for u to help you answer the question. Specify all the elements of the test, including Ho, Ha, test statistic, p-value, and your conclusion. Test at a = 0.05.arrow_forwardMost adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could.

- A researcher wanted to compare the percentages of men and women who play the lottery. They randomly sampled 300 women and found that 66 of them play the lottery. In a random sample of 500 men, they found that 160 of them play the lottery. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the percentage of women and men who play the lottery. Find the point estimate. Find the margin of error. Interpret the confidence interval in terms of this problem.arrow_forwardMost adults would erase their personal data from the internet if they could.

This population distribution takes only integer values, so it is certainly not Normal. It is also highly skewed to the right. Suppose that = 280 and you take an SRS of 70 Facebook users from this population. Findings from "Yellow social media report 2018.

- Any basketball fan knows that Shaquille O'Neal, one of the NBA's most dominant centers of the last twenty years, always had difficulty shootinq free throws. Over the course of his career, his overall made free-throw percentaqe was 53.3%. Durinq one off-season, Shaq had been working with an assistant coach on his free-throw technique. During the next season, a simple random sample showed that Shag made 26 of 39 free-throw attempts. Test the claim that Shaq has significantly improved his free-throw shooting using a 0.05 significance level. . Check the conditions of the Central Limit Theorem for this scenario. What is the minimum number of free throws Shaq would have to attempt so that it would meet the condition of a large population size?arrow_forwardConstruct the 99% confidence interval for the difference when ,-476.88, x-318.32, , -42.11, -26.80, -19, and #₂ -22.
