Question
The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducts the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) and reports a variety of information on each county in America. In the third quarter of 2016, the QCEW reported the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in all 3222 counties in America.
Suppose that James is an economist who collects a simple random sample of the total taxable earnings of workers in 56 American counties during the third quarter of 2016. According to the QCEW, the true population mean and standard deviation of taxable earnings, in millions of dollars, by county are ?=28.29 and ?=33.493 , respectively.
Let ? be the total taxable earnings, in millions, of all wage earners in a county. The mean total taxable earnings of all wage earners in a county across all the counties in James' sample is ?⎯⎯⎯ .
Use the central limit theorem (CLT) to determine the probability ? that the mean taxable wages in James' sample of 56 counties will be less than $33 million. Report your answer to four decimal places.
?(?⎯⎯⎯<33) =

A sample of 370 residents from that county was surveyed in 2004. The following table displays the model for the distribution of economic concerns for the year 2003 and the observed number of sampled respondents in the survey for the same economic concerns for the year 2004.

Suppose a researcher wants to test this hypothesis by randomly sampling nine men and 10 women with comparable demographic characteristics from various large cities across the United States to be in a study. Each study participant is asked to keep a log beginning one month before Valentine’s Day and record all purchases made for Valentine’s Day during that one[1]month period. The resulting data are shown below. Use these data and a 1% level of significance to test to determine if, on average, men actually do spend significantly more than women on Valentine’s Day. Assume that such spending is normally distributed in the population and that the population variances are equal.arrow_forward
- Hospital Stays. The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics collects data on length of stay in noninstitutional, short-stay hospitals by sex and age. Results are published in Vital and Health Statistics. Independent random samples of Americans were taken to compare the lengths of stay (in days) for males and females in four age groups (15–24 years, 25–34 years, 35–44 years, and 45–64 years). The data are in the following table. a. the response variable b. the factors c. the levels of each factor d. the number of treatment combinations e. the experimental units f. the number of observations for each treatment combination g. the experimental factors, if any h. the classification factors, if any i. whether the study is a designed experiment or an observational studyarrow_forwardThe United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducts the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) and reports a variety of information on each county in America.
