- An author argues that more American-born baseball players have birth dates in the months immediately following July 31 because that was the age cutoff date for nonschool baseball leagues. The table below lists months of births for a sample of American-born baseball players and foreign-born baseball players. Using a 0.05 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that months of births of baseball players are independent of whether they are born in America?

Alison Konrad and Claudia Harris sought to compare men in Bem's 1974 sample to men 25 years later on their judgments of the desirability of 40 masculine, feminine, or androgynous traits. Suppose that the following are the scores from a hypothetical sample of the 1974 male respondents for the attribute Gentle. 1 1 1 2 1 Calculate the mean, degrees of freedom, variance, and standard deviation for this sample.

Successful hotel managers must have personality characteristics often thought of as feminine (such as "compassionate") as well as those often thought of as masculine (such as "forceful"). The Bern Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) is a personality test that gives separate ratings for female and male stereotypes, both on a scale of 1 to 7. A sample of 148 male general managers of three-star and four-star hotels had mean BSRI femininity score y = 5.29 The mean score for the general male population is μ = 5.19. Do hotel managers, on the average, differ significantly in femininity score from men in general? Assume that the standard deviation of scores in the population of all male hotel managers is the same as the σ = 0.78 for the adult male population.
