Question
An anger-management courseclaims that, after completing its seminar, participants will lose their tempers less often. Always a skeptic, you decide to test this claim. A random sample of 12 seminar participants is chosen, and these participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the two weeks prior to the course. After the course is over, the same participants are asked to record the number of times that they lost their tempers in the next two weeks. The following table lists the results of the survey. Using these data, test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let d= (participants after completing
the anger-management course) −(participants before completing the anger-management course).
Number of Times Temper Was Lost during a Two-Week Period

Brown (University of Arizona Press). Before 1918, the proportion of female wolves in the general population of all southwestern wolves was about 50%. However, after 1918, southwestern cattle ranchers began a widespread effort to destroy wolves. In a recent sample of 37 wolves, there were only 11 females. One theory is that male wolves tend to return sooner than females to their old territories, where their predecessors were exterminated. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of female wolves is now less than 50% in the region? Use α = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance?

In both questionnaires, the participants respond to each statement with a rating on a 5-point Likert scale with 0 equaling "strongly disagree" and 4 equaling "strongly agree." The overall score for each participant is the mean of his or her ratings for the different statements on the questionnaire. Look at the following graphs.

- Suppose you are the manager of two beachfront hotels : The Palms and Golden Sands. You'd like to know if there is a difference in guest satisfaction between the two hotels. To investigate this, you conduct a survey and ask guests upon departure if they are likely to return to the hotel in the future. For The Palms, 163 out of 227 guests who were surveyed responded " yes ". For Golden Sands, 154 out of 262 guests responded "yes ". Answer the following questions. Round any numbers in your final answers to 2 decimals. 1) Calculate a 95 % confidence interval for the difference in satisfaction rates between The Palms and Golden Sands (Show work) 2) Use the critical value approach to test, at a 1% significance level, whether or not the guest satisfaction rates are different between the two hotels.
