One major factor in low productivity is the amount of time wasted by workers. Wasted time could include things such as time spent waiting for more material and equipment, cleaning up mistakes, and performing any other activity not related to production. In a project designed to examine this problem, a consultant took a survey of 200 workers in companies that were classified as successful (on the basis of their latest annual profits) and another 200 workers from unsuccessful companies. The amount of time (in hours) wasted during a standard 40-hour workweek was recorded for each worker. Do these data provide enough evidence at the 5% significance level to infer that the amount of time wasted in unsuccessful firms exceeds that of successful ones? To answer this question, the consultant ran several analyses and provided the out below. Note that none of these analyses might be correct. A. H0: (μ1 - μ2) = 0 H1: (μ1 - μ2) > 0 B. H0: μD = 0 H1: μD > 0 C. H0: μD = 0…
The Dean of the College of Business at State University hasinitiated a fund raising campaign. One of the selling pointsshe plans to use with potential donors is that increasing thecollege’s private endowment will improve its ranking amongbusiness schools as published in various news magazines.She would like to demonstrate that there is a relationshipbetween funding and the rankings. She has collected thefollowing data showing the private endowments ($ millions),and annual budgets ($ millions) from state and privatesources, for eight of State’s peer institutions plus State, andthe ranking of each school. Use Excel to develop a linear regression model for theamount of the private endowment and the ranking, and forecast a ranking for a private endowment of $70 mil-lion. Does there appear to be a strong relationship between the endowment and ranking?b. Using Excel, develop a multiple regression equation forall of these data including private endowment andannual budget, and forecast a…
Researchers wanted to conduct a study on the GPA of third year working engineering students in their University. They think that some students with work learned how to manage their time wisely and step up to leadership challenges, while a certain portion of them have problems balancing work and school, and thus, experience stress more than non-working students. The study wants to identify if there is significant difference on the GPA of third year working students with leadership roles and working students without. Identify the population from which the study should be sampled. a. All working students b. Third year working engineering students c. All engineering students in the University d. Third year Engineering Students with part-time job who have adequate time-management and leadership skills.
CBS poll of March 2005 referred to in Exercise 65, 49% agreed that Social Security taxes should be raised if necessary to keep the system afloat, and 43% agreed that it would be a good idea to invest part of their Social Security taxes on their own. What is the largest percentage of people who could have agreed with at least one of these statements? What is the smallest percentage of people who could have agreed with at least one of these statements?
Using a theoretical framework from engineering sciences, the researcher believes that the physical set up of hospital rooms impacts rates of hand washing. After prolonged engagement, she observed the healthcare providers working on a medical/surgical floor of a hospital. As the result of her data analysis she purposefully selected 6 physicians, 10 nurses and 12 nursing aids to conducted in-depth interviews with. Subsequent to the analysis of that data she then purposefully selected 5 medical residents, 10 more nurses, the radiographers assigned to the portable imaging machine, and 15 patient transporters to conduct interviews with. She uses the data she collected and analyzed to develop a survey that she sent to 100 randomly selected hospitals across the northeast. What research design was used in this study? a. Mixed Methods b. Exploratory c. Convergent d. Explanatory
An insurance company offers four different deductible levels-none,low, medium, and high-for its homeowner's policyholders and threedifferent levels-low, medium, and high-for its automobilepolicyholders. The accompanying table gives proportions for the variouscategories of policyholders who have both types of insurance. Forexample, the proportion of individuals with both low homeowner'sdeductible and low auto deductible is .06 (6% of all such individuals).

A social and personality psychologist thinks that creativity differs by personality traits, rather than the traditional view that it is a cognitive process. Specifically, this psychologist thinks that introverts are more creative than extraverts. The researcher gives a personality test to a group of 16 university students and then separates them based on the assessment results into 2 groups: the extraverts and the introverts. The participants are then asked to write a short story which is rated on creativity by a well-known author. The creativity scores range from 0 to 20 on an interval scale, where higher scores indicate greater creativity. The results are shown in Table 2. Using the 0.05 alpha level, are introverts more creative than extroverts? Use all of the steps of hypothesis testing. extrovert introvert 8 18 7 17 11 10 3 14 5 16 8 15 7 19 4 12

A consulting group recently conducted a global survey of product teams with the goal of better understanding the dynamics of product team performance and uncovering the practices that make these teams successful. One of the survey findings was that 36% of organizations have a coherent business strategy that they stick to and effectively communicate. Suppose another study is conducted to check the validity of this result, with the goal of proving that the percentage is less than 36%. State the null and research hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. A. H0: P≥0.36; H1: P<0.36 B. H0: P≠0.36; H1: P=0.36 C. H0: P=0.36; H1: P≠0.36 D. H0: P≤0.36; H1: P>0.36 A sample of 100 organizations is selected, and results indicate that 29 organizations have a coherent business strategy that they stick to and effectively communicate. Use the p-value approach to determine at the 0.05 level of significance whether there is evidence that the…
Each year U.S. News and World Report conducts its "Survey of America's Best Graduate and Professional Schools." and ranks the top 25 business schools, as determined by reputation, student selectivity, placement success, and graduation rate. For each school, three variables were measured: (1) GMAT score for the typical incoming student; (2) student acceptance rate (percentage accepted of all students who applied); and (3) starting salary of the typical graduating student. An academic advisor wants to predict the typical starting salary of a graduate at a top business school using GMAT score of the school as a predictor variable. The results of a simple linear regression of SALARY versus GMAT using the 25 data points are shown below. Is there sufficient evidence to suggest there is a linear relationship between SALARY and GMAT at the 5% level of significance? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a = -92040 b = 228 s = 3213 r2 = .66 r =…
