The manager of a men’s clothing catalog measured the market’s response to a $6 decrease in the usual price of his company’s oxford shirts by conducting a sales experiment. An A-B split was used to divide the company’s 120,000-customer mailing list into two groups. Customers in the control group were sent catalogs listing oxford shirts at their usual price of $40. Customers in the test group were sent catalogs listing the price of oxford shirts at $32.80. During the period of the test, customers in the control group purchased 700 oxford shirts, and customers in the test group purchased 889 oxford shirts. What is the independent variable in this sales experiment? What is the dependent variable in this sales experiment? What is the percent change in price in this experiment? What is price elasticity indicated by the results of this experiment.
Researchers conducted a prospective cohort study to assess the association between dietary supplements and cognitive ability among children. A total of 500 children age 12-17 years who take an omega-3 fatty acid supplement are compared with 500 children age 12-17 years who do not take an omega-3 fatty acid supplement. Researchers follow the children for 2 years. During this time, 300 children who take the supplement earn what is classified as a “high” score on a cognitive test while 200 children who do not take the supplement earn what is classified as a “high” score on the same cognitive test. Show calculations. a) Construct a 2x2 table from the information presented above b) The risk difference is:
A publisher reports that 50%50% of their readers own a particular make of car. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage is actually different from the reported percentage. A random sample of 240240 found that 45%45% of the readers owned a particular make of car. Determine the P-value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places.
In your own words, discuss the relationship between a t-test and a confidence interval.
18. Car and Taxi Ages When the author visited Dublin, Ireland (home of Guinness Breweryemployee William Gosset, who first developed the t distribution), he recorded the ages of randomlyselected passenger cars and randomly selected taxis. The ages can be found from thelicense plates. (There is no end to the fun of traveling with the author.) The ages (in years) arelisted below. We might expect that taxis would be newer, so test the claim that the mean age ofcars is greater than the mean age of taxis.
Medical tests were conducted to learn about drug-resistant tuberculosis. Of 142 cases tested in New Jersey, 9 were found to be drug-resistant. Of 268 cases tested in Texas, 5 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states? Use a .02 level of significance. What is the -value, and what is your conclusion? Test statistic =
If SLR 1-3 hold, but SLR 4 is violated, then... OLS estimators are unbiased and inconsistent OLS test statistics suffer from heteroskedasticity OLS estimators are biased and consistent OLS estimators are biased and inconsistent
A researcher is interested to search students’ willingness in participating in sport. Students are at undergraduate level and form different specialization studying in particular college. The researcher wants to interview students from all specializations in order to find whether there is a link between specialization and participation in sport. He arranges the by undergraduate specialization, next, he selects students randomly within each specialization. What is the name of sampling method?
If chocolate bars have a price elasticity of 1.8, then we can infer the chocolate bar: a. has many substitutes and sellers should raise price to increase revenue from sales. b. is a luxury good and sellers should raise price to increase revenue. c. has a narrowly defined market and sellers should lower price to increase revenue. d. few substitutes and sellers should raise price to increase revenue from sales.

A company is considering an organizational change which entails adopting the use of self-managed work teams which they hope will lead to higher levels of employee satisfaction. In order to assess the attitudes of employees of the company towards this change a sample of 250 employees was selected and asked whether they favor the institution of self-managed teams. Three responses were allowed: favor, neutral or oppose. The observed frequency of the results of the survey are shown below: Opinion Type of Job Favor Neutral Oppose Total Hourly Worker 25 40 35 100 Supervision 45 35 20 100 Manager 20 15 15 50 Total 90 90 70 250 Use this data to test the hypothesis that opinion and type of job are independent at the .025 level.
