Golden Leaves Investment Inc. has a large staff of sales agents nationwide. Senior management of the company believe that 75% of their agents meet their annual sales goals by the end of the November of each year. To investigate this, they randomly select 250 agents and examined their sales records at the end of the November of the current year. 180 of the 250 agents surveyed had already met their annual sales goals. The senior management’s claim is to be tested at 10% significance level. 5. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for this test? A. Ho: p = 0.72 Ha: p ≠ 0.72 B. Ho: p = 0.75 Ha: p ≠ 0.75* C. Ho: p > 0.72 Ha: p < 0.72 D. Ho: p > 0.75 Ha: p < 0.75 E. Ho: p ≠ 0.72 Ha: p = 0.72 6. The decision rule in this case, will be to reject Ho if the value of the computed test statistic is: A. > 1.645 or < -1.645* B. > 2.04 C. > 1.28 or < -1.28 D. > 1.28 E. > 1.96 7. What is the calculated (observed) value of the test statistic? A. 1.10 B. 0.09 C. -0.09 D. -1.10* E. -2.56 8. Assume the calculated test statistic is 2.56. What conclusion can be drawn? A. Reject Ha. There is sufficient evidence to support the senior management’s claim. B. Reject Ho. The senior management’s belief is not supported. * C. Reject Ho. The senior management’s claim is supported. D. Fail to reject Ho. Evidence supports the senior management’s claim. E. Fail to reject Ho. The senior management’s claim is not supported.3 Use the information given in the following paragraph to answer four questions that follow. A small cinema in Denton believes that a movie that is considered a comedy will draw a larger crowd on average than a movie that is a drama. To test this belief, the cinema randomly selects several movies that are classified as comedies and several movies that are classified as dramas and determines the tickets sold. The following results are obtained with Excel, assuming equal variances at a significance level of 0.05. n Comedy Drama t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances 1 7 9 2 8 5 Variable 1 Variable 2 3 5 6 Mean 10.58333 9.416667 4 9 8 Variance 35.53788 19.7197 5 25 12 Observations 12 12 6 12 21 Pooled Variance xxx 7 8 14 Hypothesized Mean Difference 0 8 15 8 df xxx 9 7 7 t Stat 0.543678 10 6 6 P(T<=t) one-tail 0.296065 11 18 8 t Critical one-tail 1.717144 12 7 9 P(T<=t) two-tail 0.592131 t Critical two-tail 2.073873 9.

A director of UNT training center has learned three different methods for teaching a student to type. She is interested in determining if there is a difference in the average typing speeds for students who are taught to type using each of the three methods. She randomly selects 30 newly enrolled students and then randomly assigns 10 students to learn to type by each of training methods. At the end of the course, she examines the number of correct words per minute for all students. ANOVA: Single Factor SUMMARY Groups Count Sum Average Variance Method 1 10 468 46.8 20.84444 Method 2 10 521 52.1 21.87778 Method 3 10 565 56.5 26.94444 ANOVA Source of Variation SS df MS F Between Groups 471.8 -- --- --- Within Groups 627 27 23.22222 Total ---- 29 13. The correct null hypothesis to test for any difference among methods is: A. Ho: All true mean typing speeds differ (so, efficacies of methods differ) from each other. B. Ho: All true mean typing speeds are same (equal).* C. Ho: Several of the true mean typing speeds differ from each other. D. Ho: Mean typing speed for Group 3 is less than that for the other groups. E. Ho: Not all true mean typing speeds are equal. 14. The critical value of the test statistic for the above ANOVA at the 5% level of significance is approximately: A. 1.92 B. 1.27 C. 2.90 D. 3.35* E. 2.455 15.
