Question
Tucson State University offers two MBA programs. In the first program, the students meet two nights per week at the university’s main campus in downtown Tucson. In the second program, students only communicate online with the instructor. The director of the MBA experience at Tucson wishes to compare the number of hours studied last week by the two groups of students. A sample of 10 on-campus students and 12 online students revealed the following information.

- Last fall a college installed a new email system and conducted a series of training sessions to teach students and staff how to use the system. In the spring semester, the college used a survey to determine the level of satisfaction with the new system. In addition to measuring satisfaction, the survey asked whether or not each individual had attended a training session. The results of the survey are as follows: VERY SATISFIED SOMEWHAT SATISFIED SOMEWHAT DISSATISFIED VERY DISSATISFIED ATTENDED TRAINING 15 35 5 5 DID NOT ATTEND 5 45 35 15 In doing a chi-square test to determine if a person's level of satisfaction depends on whether they attended the training, what is the expected frequency for people who attended the training and are "somewhat satisfied" with the system? a) 25 b) 30 c) 35 d) 40arrow_forwardThe Consumer Reports Restaurant Customer Satisfaction Survey is based upon 148,599 visits to full-service restaurant chains.† One of the variables in the study is meal price, the average amount paid per person for dinner and drinks, minus the tip.

Of the 200 students enrolled in lab classes at Mandrake, 75 have taken the weekend course. Mandrake is evaluating the course's effectiveness by having its lab instructors record harmful lab "incidents": accidents, misuse of lab equipment, etc. The contingency table below gives a summary of the data that have been gathered so far for Mandrake's 200 lab students. Each student is classified according to two variables: status regarding lab techniques course ("Took the course" or "Didn't take the course") and laboratory performance ("Involved in no incident", "Involved in exactly one incident", or "Involved in 2+ incidents"). In the cells of the table are the respective observed frequencies. Note that three of the cells also have blanks. Fill in these blanks with the frequencies expected if the two variables, status regarding lab techniques course and laboratory performance, are…arrow_forward
- Applicants for temporary office work at Carter Temporary Help Agency who have successfully completed an administrative assistant course are then placed in suitable positions by Nancy Dwyer and Darla Newberg. Employers who hire temporary help through the agency return a card indicating satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the work performance of those hired. From past experience it is known that 75% of the employees placed by Nancy are rated as satisfactory, and 65% of those placed by Darla are rated as satisfactory. Darla places 60% of the temporary office help at the agency, and Nancy places the remaining 40%. If a Carter office worker is rated unsatisfactory, what is the probability that he or she was placed by Darla?

- Suppose you work as a manager for a large clothing store. You are considering introducing a loyalty program to encourage customers to spend more at your store. Before rolling out your program to the public, you want to do a small experiment to estimate its effectiveness. You offer the loyalty program to 10 random customers, and also observed the sales of 27 random customers who did not get the program as a control group. The customers that were part of the loyalty program had average monthly sales of $302.57 and a sample standard deviation of $49.73. For the control group, the customers had an average monthly sales of $231.65 and a sample standard deviation of $67.88. * Given a 95% confidence interval critical value of t = 2.04, what is the upper bound (upper end) of a 95% confidence interval for the difference between two averages? Use (μloyalty program no loyalty program) for the order. Note: 1- Only round your final answer.
