The internal auditing staff of a local manufacturing company performs a sample audit each quarter to estimate the proportion of accounts that are delinquent more than 90 days overdue. The historical records of the company show that over the past 8 years 14 percent of the accounts are delinquent. For this quarter, the auditing staff randomly selected 250 customer accounts. What are the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distributionof p^?

The mean number of English courses taken in a two-year time period by male and female college students is believed to be about the same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 29 males and 16 females. The males took an average of 3 English courses with a standard deviation of 0.8. The females took an average of 4 English courses with a standard deviation of 1.0. Are the means statistically the same? Assume we are not pooling samples.

According to a report published by the USDA 3 years ago, a typical American consumes an average of 26 pounds of ice cream per year. A researcher at the USDA would like to determine if the average amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American has changed since the original report was published. The researcher collected data from a random sample of 65 Americans and found that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by the sample was 25.54 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.64 pounds. Using α=0.02, test the hypothesis that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American is different than 26 pounds. Use the p-value method. State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test. H0= H1= Determine the test statistic for the hypothesis test. Round the solution to four decimal places. =
