A management consulting company offers a 3-day seminar on project management. The consultants are aiming the course at high level management and expect half of the attendance to be high-level managers, with attendance figures expected to be the same for mid-level or low-level managers. Registration data gives the following numbers who will be attending in the given management categories: High level 33 Mid-level 28 Low level 13 1. Use an appropriate statistical test at a 5% significance level to determine if the observed distribution of management positions attending the seminar is consistent with the expectations of the consulting company. State any assumptions necessary. 2. Comment on how the results of this test might influence the presentation of the course by the consultants

A random sample of sale prices of homes in Lexington, Kentucky, yielded the following summary information:Construct a box plot for the data and comment on a home in Lexington, Kentucky, that had a sale price of $426,000. Select one: A. This sale price falls between an inner and an outer fence. It can be considered a potential outlier. B. This value falls outside an outer fence of the box plot and is considered an outlier. C. This value falls outside of the upper quartile, but cannot be considered an outlier. D. This sale price would be expected since it falls inside the inner fences of the box plot.
A nation-wide men’s and women’s clothing retailer is interested in the performance of its in- store staff and the extent to which they are satisfying customer expectations. Management accordingly hires a research firm to pursue the issue and provide a report. One aspect of the report is to be an estimate of the proportion of its Australian customers that are satisfied with its in-store services. The research firm duly advised that 936 of a random sample of 1,200 of its customers indicated that they were satisfied. Based upon this sample, name and give the value of the statistic that would be management’s best estimate (or a point estimate) for the proportion of the retailer’s customers who are satisfied. Use the Excel Estimators Macro to determine a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of the retailer’s Australian customers that are satisfied. Show that the assumption/s underlying the method used are satisfied. What would need to be done to get an estimate of the required…
