Suppose that in a certain year, it was reported that the variance in GMAT scores was 14,650. At a recent summit, a group of economics professors met to discuss the GMAT performance of undergraduate students majoring in economics. Some expected the variability in GMAT scores achieved by undergraduate economics students to be greater than the variability in GMAT scores of the general population of GMAT takers. However, others took the opposite view. Suppose the following are GMAT scores for 51 randomly selected undergraduate students majoring in economics. 345 749 427 765 336 777 663 451 787 454 711 544 453 330 718 462 585 658 550 576 771 572 629 591 481 574 510 628 532 411 702 640 686 608 510 509 617 576 546 392 512 571 794 690 581 527 329 451 666 377 720 (a) Compute the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the GMAT scores for the 51 observations.

Six researchers at different universities agree to carry out exactly the same social psychology experiment involving three treatment conditions. When the studies are complete, they pool their data to study outcome variable Y, and they carry out a two-way ANOVA. Assuming that 10 subjects were randomly assigned to each of the treatments at each of the sites, what are the degrees of freedom associated with each of the variance components outlined in the ANOVA Table shown below? Two versions of the analysis are planned. In the first analysis, the researchers restrict their interest to the six specific sites included in the joint research. In the second analysis they consider the six universities to be a sample from the population of American universities. For each analysis, look up the critical F values for a =.05, and enter them into the table below. (The critical value is the number the F statistic must exceed to be considered statistically significant at the .05 level.) Also…
Katrina Bell, analyst for the Hexaco Oil Company, has been assigned the task of investigating the claim that Hexaco dealers charge more for unleaded gasoline than do independent dealers. Katrina is afraid that if she chooses two independent random samples of stations for each type of dealer, the variability in price due to geographic location might be a factor. To eliminate this source of variability, she chooses a pair of stations : one independent and one Hexaco in close geographic proximity of each region. The results of the sampling are in Sheet 47. What should Katrina conclude at the 0.01 significance level?

In a study comparing the systolic blood pressure of individuals sitting and standing, 14 subjects had their blood pressure measured standing, while 8 individuals has their blood pressure measured sitting. The investigator planned to test the hypothesis that the mean blood pressure readings are the same sitting and standing (the subjects remained in each position for 5 minutes). If the investigator tests at the 7% level of significance, assuming equal variances, the rejection region would be:
A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in New York and Illinois. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the that the mean annual income of childcare workers in the state of New York is greater than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Illinois. To see if this is true, the firm selected a random sample of 20 childcare workers from New York and an independent random sample of 20 childcare workers from Illinois and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows. Annual income in dollars New York 46686 , 34979 , 47325 , 48892 , 51128 , 56792 , 47785 , 48995 , 57301 , 55176 , 48002 , 45718 , 50351 , 58527 , 47067 , 53699 , 54361 , 49727 , 36426 , 50870 Illinois 48009 , 46871 , 42774 , 49790 , 43163 , 45401 , 41068 , 50300 , 47064 , 42003 , 47775 , 41917…
