senior accounting major at Midsouth State University has job offers from four CPA firms. To explore the offers further, she asked a sample of recent trainees how many months each worked for the firm before receiving a raise in salary. The sample information is submitted to Minitab with the following results: Analysis of Variance Source df SS MS F P Factor 3 28.17 9.39 5.37 0.010 Error 15 26.26 1.75 Total 18 54.43 What is the decision rule? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) At the 0.05 level of significance, is there a difference in the mean number of months before a raise was granted among the four CPA firms?
A common test was given to a no. of students taken at random from a particular class of the department to assess the significance of possible variance of performance. Make an analysis of variance with the given data: A: 5 6 8 9 7 B: 8 10 11 12 4 C: 7 3 5 4 1
An econometrics class has 80 students, and the mean student weight is145 lb. A random sample of 4 students is selected from the class, and theiraverage weight is calculated. Will the average weight of the students in thesample equal 145 lb? Why or why not? Use this example to explain whythe sample average, Y, is a random variable ?
Dr. Diet launched a new diet. He argues that it will make paents lose more than 10 lbs. over 5 months. A random sample of 25 students follow the diet for 5 months yielding an average weight loss of 4 pounds and a sample variance of 9 lbs. Assume that the distribuon of each individual’s weight loss is normally distributed with unknown mean and variance. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean of the distribuon of each individual’s weight loss.
A recent article in a business journal reported that the mean annual salary for graduates from 30 top MBA programs 10 years after graduation is $275,000 Assume the standard deviation is $54,500 24 Keep the error probability at α = 0.05. We want to build an interval which captures 95% of the sample means within ±$5,000 from the population mean. What is the minimum sample size that would yield such an interval? a 411 b 457 c 508 d 564
A service counter manager wishes to ensure that an average of 16 seconds toserve a customer. In order to analyse the efficiency of the service process, he takesa random sample of 56 customers. The mean service time of the sample is 15.8seconds. Assume that the population standard deviation is 0.8 seconds. (a) State the null and the alternative hypotheses for the test (b) Use the p-value approach to test the manager's concern at ? = 0.05. (c) Confirm your result in (ii) by using the critical value approach. (d) State the recommendation that the manager can present to the company.
The mean output of a certain type of amplifier is 129 watts with a variance of 100. If 96 amplifiers are sampled, what is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 0.9 watts? Round your answer to four decimal places.
Suppose you select a random sample of 16 students from a population that has mean of µ = 75 and standard deviation of ơ = 20. You want to know what would be considered a ‘typical’ sample mean for a sample of n = 16. To answer your question, you compute the two sample means that define the middle 95% of the distribution of sample means. Show your work, sketch the distribution, and shade in the area of interest. Hint: Sample means that are in the extreme 5% of the distribution (2.5% in each tail of the distribution) are considered ‘atypical’ or ‘extreme.’

The number of semester hours of college credit taken by CPA candidates, X, has a distribution with amean of 141 hours and a standard deviation of 18 hours. Consider a random sample of 100 first-timecandidates for the CPA exam and let ?ത represent the mean number of hours of college credit taken for thesample. The first step is that you are given information about the distribution of X, which allows you to calculatethe parameters of the sampling distribution of ?ത, that is, the mean , and the standard deviation, .a. Calculate ?௫̅.b. Calculate ?௫̅.c. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of ?ത.d. Calculate the z-score for the value ?̅ൌ 142 hours. Interpret the z-score in words.e.
