Wegman’s (a food market chain) has developed a new store-brand brownie mix. Before they start selling the mix they want to compare how well people like their brownies to brownies made from a popular national brand mix. In order to see if there was any difference in consumer opinion, Wegman’s asked 124 shoppers to participate in a taste test. Each was given a brownie to try. Subjects were not told which kind of brownie they got—that was determined randomly. 58% of the 62 shoppers who tasted a Wegman’s brownie said liked it well enough to buy the mix, compared to 66% of the others who said they would be willing to buy the national brand. Does this result indicate that consumer interest in the Wegman’s mix is lower than for the national brand?

Elaine is interested in determining if men are more satisfied in their jobs than women in the healthcare industry. She administers a job satisfaction questionnaire to 20 men and 20 women working in hospital administration. Her grouping variable is gender and dependent variable is job satisfaction. The job satisfaction scale consists of 8 items measured using a 5-point rating scale. A higher score on this scale would indicate high job satisfaction. The maximum score that can be obtained on the scale is 40. We can assume that job satisfaction scores are normally distributed. Use the appropriate T test with a significance level of 0.05 to test the hypothesis.   Research Question   Do the mean job satisfaction scores differ for men and women working in the hospital administration department?   Hypothesis- The mean job satisfaction scores do not differ for men and women working in the hospital administration department.   Write a Results section based on your analysis. Interpret results of…

A statistics teacher asked two different students, Lexie and Jennifer, to go to Wegmans and sample 30 shoppers each.  The population of interest for both people can be defined as, “People who shop at the Johnson City, NY Wegmans store”.  Here is what each person did to collect their sample:                    Lexie: She stood outside at the entrance to the store on 3 different days and times and surveyed every 15th person to walk by her.  She surveyed 10 people each time to get her 30.   Jennifer:  She went to Wegmans after her nursing shift first thing Wednesday morning to buy deodorant since she ran out.  When she was in the pharmacy area she surveyed all the people around her and then, to get up to 30 surveys, she went to the health food section and surveyed everyone she was there.     Identify at least 2 specific reasons why Lexie’s approach is more likely to give a representative sample.  Consider sources of bias, or types of shoppers who might be excluded by Jennifer’s approach.…
