The “promotions manager” of a large cosmetics manufacturer wanted to investigate user acceptance with a new formulation of their popular female facial cream. She organised for a sample of 5,000 users of the new formulation to be selected and sought their feedback on whether they were satisfied with its effects or not. Of the 2800 responses gained, 2,100 indicated that they were satisfied with the new formulation. i. State the name and the value of the statistic that is the best estimate for the proportion of all potential cream users that are satisfied

A company that sponsors LSAT prep courses would like to be able to claim that their courses improve scores by at least 3 percentage points. To test this, they take a sample of 8 people, have each take an initial diagnostic test, then take the prep course, and then take a post-test after the course. The test results are below (scores are out of 100%): A. The correct t test to use here is Person Initial Test 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A. Welch's unequal-variances t test OB. One-sample t test C. Student's equal-variances t test B. The number of degrees of freedom (round to the nearest integer) is C. The value of the standardized test statistic: Is there evidence, at an a = 0.035 level of significance, to conclude that the prep course improves scores by at least 3 percentage points? Carry out an appropriate hypothesis test, filling in the information requested. (Arrange your data so that the standardized test statistic is for the change from the initial test to the post-test.) 69 75 79 67 69 E. The…
