E3 Consider the following model that explains major league cricket players' salaries. Using the appropriate data set you have estimated the following model: where salary = total salaries in 1993; years = total years in the league, gamesyr= average games played per year, bavg = career batting average, hrunsyr = total home runs per year, rbisyr = runs batted per year. Suppose, you want to test the hypothesis that once years in the league and games per year have been controlled, the statistics measuring players' performance will have no effect on their salaries. i) State the null and alternative hypotheses for this problem. ii) Find the F-statistic (F-ratio) for this test. iii) Test the null hypothesis that productivity as measured by cricket game statistics has no effect on player's salaries at the 1% or 5% level of significance. iv) What are the differences between 't' and 'F' tests?

A new drug is released to market and it has been determined that the drug is responsible for causing hypertension among those individuals who take the drug. If 30,276 individuals were prescribed the drug in its first year on the market and 17,620 individuals developed hypertension, what is the point prevalence of hypertension among those individuals prescribed the drug, after the drug’s first year on the market? 0.00582 0.05820 0.58200 5.82000
We wish to demonstrate that the average time to graduate from college is affected by the students having taken AP calculus in high school. Specifically we wish to demonstrate that students who have taken AP calculus in high school gradate an average of at most 0.25 years sooner than students who have not taken AP calculus in high school. If we let μ1 demote the average time to graduate for students who have not taken AP calculus and μ2 denote the average time to graduate for students who have taken AP calculus, then select the appropriate alternative hypothesis: a. μ1-μ2 = 0 b. μ1-μ2-0.25 < 0 c. μ1-μ2-0.25>0 Please explain
We wish to demonstrate that the average time to graduate from Tulane is affected by the students having taken AP calculus in high school. Specially, we wish to demonstrate that students who have taken AP calculus in high school graduate an average of more than 0.25 years sooner than students who have not taken AP calculus in high school. If we let denote the average time to graduate for students who have not taken AP calculus and denotes the average time to graduate for students who have taken AP calculus, then select the appropriate alternative hypothesis.
Before 1918, approximately 60% of the wolves in a region were male, and 40% were female. However, cattled rachers in the area have made a determined effort to exterminate wolves. From 1918 present, approximately 65% of the wolves in the region are male, and 35% are female. Biologists suspect that male wolves are more likely than female to return to the area where the population have been greatly reduced. Round three decimals: a) Before 1918, in a ramdon sample 11 wolves spotted in the region, what is the probability that 8 or more were males? - what is the probability 8 or more were females? - what is the probability fewer than 5 were females? d) From the period 1918 to present in a ramdon sample 11wolves spotted in the region, what is the probability that 8 or more were males? -what is the probability 8 or more were females? -what is the probability fewer than 5 were females?
Suppose insurance agency services customers who have both a homeowner’s policy and an automobile policy. For each type of policy, a deductible amount must be specified. For an automobile policy, the choices are TZS100 and TZS250, whereas for a homeowner’s policy, the choices are 0, TZS100, and TZS200. Suppose also that an individual is selected at random from the agency’s files. Let X = his deductible amount on the auto policy and Y = his deductible amount on the homeowner’s policy (a) What are the possible (X, Y) pairs? (b) Suppose the joint probability mass function is given by the insurance company in the accompanying joint probability in the following Table Table: Discrete Joint Probability Distribution for X and Y P(x,y) 0 100 200 X 100 0.2 0.10 0.2 250 0.05 0.15 0.3 What is p (100, 100) What is P (Y greater than 100)?
The past records of a supermarket show that its customers spend an averageof $95 per visit at this store. Recently the management of the store initiated a promotionalcampaign according to which each customer receives points based on the total moneyspent at the store, and these points can be used to buy products at the store. Themanagement expects that as a result of this campaign, the customers should beencouraged to spend more money at the store. To check whether this is true, the managerof the store took a sample of 14 customers who visited the store. The following data givethe money (in dollars) spent by these customers at this supermarket during their visits. 109 136 107 116 101 109 110 94 101 97 104 83 67 120Assume that the money spent by all customers at this supermarket has a normaldistribution. Using a 5% significance level, can you conclude that the mean amount ofmoney spent by all customers at this supermarket after the campaign was started is morethan $95?

3. It is thought that a larger proportion of urban voters, in contrast to rural voters, will support the governor in her bid for reelection. Random samples of 500 urban and 400 rural voters were selected. Three hundred urban voters plans to vote to reelect the governor and 200 rural voters plan to do so. At the 0.05 significance, does this demonstrate that a greater proportion of urban voters plan to vote to reelect the governor? State the assumptions associated with this procedure. please show how to solve it. no excel please

A researcher for a cereal company wanted to demonstrate the health benefits of eating oatmeal. A sample of 9 volunteers was obtained each participant ate a fixed diet without any oatmeal for 30 days. At the end of the 30 days period cholesterol was measured for each individual. Then the participants begin a second 30 day period in which they repeated exactly the same diet except that they added 2 cups of oatmeal each day. After the second 30 day period, cholesterol levels were measured again and the researchers recorded the difference between the two scores for each participant. For this sample, cholesterol score averaged Md= 16 points lower with the oatmeal diet with SS=538 for the difference scores. A) Are the data sufficient to indicate a significant change in cholesterol levels? use a two-tail test with alpha=0.01
