A school superintendent wanted to know whether there were differences between the high schools in her district with regards to the proportion of students who do not live with their biological parents. She surveyed 200 students from each of the two high schools – East and West. The proportion of students from the survey at East who do not live with their biological parents is 3.4%. The proportion of students from the survey at East who do not live with their biological parents is 4.2%.
Using a 95% confidence interval (2SD or Theory based), can the superintendent conclude that there is a difference between East and West with respect to the proportion of students who do not live with their biological parents.
Group of answer choices
Yes she can conclude there is a difference because the confidence intervals overlap.
No she cannot conclude there is a difference because the confidence intervals overlap.
Yes she can conclude there is a difference because the confidence intervals don’t…
The Xhang Corporation operates five clothing suppliers in China to provide merchandise for Nike. Nike recently sought information from the five plants. One variable for which data was collected was the total money (in U.S. Dollars) the company spent on medical support for its employees in the first three months of the year. Data on number of employees at the plants are shown. These data are as follows:
Medical
$7,400
$14,400
$12,300
$6,200
$3,100
Employees
123
402
256
109
67
Compute the weighted mean medical payment for these five plants using number of employees as the weights. Why Weighted Mean is better for Xhang Corporation?

He hoped to learn the reasons why many people who visit his car lot do not eventually buy a car from him.

At the end of the month he sent surveys to the people who did not buy the car, asking them why. About one third of them returned the survey, with 44% of those indicating that they found a lower price elsewhere. Which is true?I. The population of interest is all potential car buyers.II.

For each of these stocks, she found the cost per share (in dollars) and ranked each of the stocks according to cost. After 3 months, she found the earnings per share for each stock (in dollars). Again, Debbie ranked each of the stocks according to earnings. The way Debbie ranked, higher ranks mean higher cost and higher earnings. The results follow, where x is the rank in cost and y is the rank in earnings.
