1. In 1955, Life Magazine reported that a 25-year-old mother of 3 children, worked an average of 80 hours each week. Recently, some researchers have been studying whether the women’s movement has resulted in an increase in the work week hours for women (combining employment and at-home work). A study was done to find out if the mean work week has, in fact, increased. A random sample of 81 women were surveyed and the mean was 83 hours with a standard deviation of 10. Using a 95% confidence level, does the sample data support the researcher’s claim that the average number of weekly hours that women work, is greater than 80? a. What statistical test will you use to test this data ? b. State the null and alternative hypothesis. i. H0: ii. Ha: c. What are the confidence intervals? d.

The owner of a chain of mini-markets has two stores, Store 1 and Store 2, in one city. She recently added a breakfast station in Store 1 and wants to determine if the mean daily sales of Store 1 is greater than the mean daily sales of Store 2. After choosing 12 days at random, she records the sales (in dollars) at Store 1 for these days. Then, she records the sales at Store 2 for these same days. The data and the differences (Store 1 minus Store 2) are shown in the table below. Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. 9. 10 11 12 Store 1 951 547 437 682 547 729 488 776 461 815 859 518 Store 2 989 599 500 680 451 528 452 741 446 758 960. 421 Difference (Store 1 − Store 2) −38 −52 63 2 96 201. 36 35 15 57 −101 97 Send data to calculator Send data to Excel (a)Are the two samples of daily sales amounts independent or paired…
4. Two people are arguing about the size of different breeds of dogs. One believes that German shepherds are larger than huskies, while the other person believes the opposite is true. They conduct a study to see which one of them is correct. They sample the weights of ten dogs of each breed. The data are as follows: German Shepherds: 55, 72, 61, 43, 59, 70, 67, 49, 55, 63 Huskies: 48, 77, 46, 51, 60, 44, 53, 61, 52, 41 (a) Should a one-tailed or two-tailed test be conducted? Why? (b) Conduct the appropriate test with alpha = 0.05. Which breed is larger or are they the same?
Education influences attitude and lifestyle. Differences in education are a big factor in the "generation gap." Is the younger generation really better educated? Large surveys of people age 65 and older were taken in n1 = 38 U.S. cities. The sample mean for these cities showed that x1 = 15.2% of the older adults had attended college. Large surveys of young adults (age 25 - 34) were taken in n2 = 37 U.S. cities. The sample mean for these cities showed that x2 = 18.1% of the young adults had attended college. From previous studies, it is known that ?1 = 6.4% and ?2 = 4.8%. Does this information indicate that the population mean percentage of young adults who attended college is higher? Use ? = 0.05. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference ?1 − ?2. Round your answer to two decimal places.)=__(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value.

1. A recent report on elementary schools in Tarrant county claimed that 13% of elementary students typically walk to school. Luka thinks that the proportion is different than 0.13 at his large elementary school. Luka surveys a random sample of 80 students from his school and finds that 17 typically walk to school. Do the data provide convincing evidence that Luka's school has a different proportion of walkers than claimed by the report? Use a = 0.01.
15. Commercial real estate prices and rental rates suffered substantial declines in 2008 and 2009 (Newsweek, July 27, 2009). These declines were particularly severe in AsiaB annual lease rates in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore declined by 40% or more. Even with such large declines, annual lease rates in Asia were still higher than those in many cities in Europe. Annual lease rates for a sample of 30 commercial properties in Hong Kong showed a mean of $1,114 per square meter with a standard deviation of $230.
Many people like to play app based games on their mobile devices. Suppose we would like to estimate the average amount of time (in hours) per week students have played an app-based game on their mobile device at CSU Stan. In order to do this, we take a random sample of 20 students and ask them how many hours they have played an app- based game in the last week. The following data were collected: 11 4 5.5 5.5 7 6.2 10 10 7.5 6 7 7.5 2.5 Which of the following is the correct 99% confidence interval for the estimate of the average number of hours (per week) that all CSU Stan students have played an app- based game? [5.28, 7.59] [4.86, 8.01] [5.48,7.39] [5.86, 7.01]

A sociologist studying New York City ethnic groups wants to determine if there is a difference in income for immigrants from four different countries during their first year in the city. She obtained the data in the following table from a random sample of immigrants from these countries (incomes in thousands of dollars).
