(a) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of population mean score a student get in the IELTS mock examination in 2022. (b) Test, at 1% level of significance, if the population proportion of students get 7 points or above in 2022 is higher than that in year 2017. (The report must include the (i) null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis, (ii) rejection region(s), (iii) calculation of test statistics, and (iv) conclusion.) (c) If the confidence interval estimate in part (a) is constructed at 99% instead of 95%, would the interval be (I) wider, (II) narrower, or (III) no change in width? (State your answer, no explanation is needed in part (c).)

An agency that hires out clerical workers claims its workers can type, on average, at least 60 words per minute (wpmwpm). To test the claim, a random sample of 50 workers from the agency were given a typing test, and the average typing speed was 58.8 wpmwpm. A one-sample tt-test was conducted to investigate whether there is evidence that the mean typing speed of workers from the agency is less than 60 wpmwpm. The resulting pp-value was 0.267. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the pp-value? The probability is 0.267 that the mean typing speed is 60 wpmwpm or more for workers from the agency. A The probability is 0.267 that the mean typing speed is 60 wpmwpm or less for workers from the agency. B The probability is 0.267 that the mean typing speed is 58.8 wpmwpm or less for workers from the agency. C If the mean typing speed of workers from the agency is 60 wpmwpm, the probability of selecting a sample of 50 workers with mean 58.8…
Twenty-five job applicants are randomly selected from one large university and they produce a mean score and standard deviation of 183 and 12, respectively. Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that this population with a mean score greater than 160.
A researcher was interested in comparing the amount of time (in hours) spent working out by women and by men. Independent simple random samples of 14 women and 17 men were selected, and each person was asked how many hours he or she worked out during the previous week. The summary statistics are as follows. Test the claim, using a 99% CI, that the mean amount of time spent working out by women is smaller than the mean amount of time spent by men. Assume the variables are approximately normally distributed. Mean Std dev Sample size Women 17.8 hrs 2.9 hr 24 Men 19.5 hrs 6.2 hrs 27
A paint manufacturer wishes to compare the drying times of two different types of paint. Independent random samples of 11 cans of type A and 9 cans of type B were selected and applied to similar surfaces. The drying times (in hours) were recorded. The summary statistics are given in the image below. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean drying time for paint type A is longer than the mean drying time for paint type B.
The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population. Is this a test of one mean or proportion? State the null and alternative hypotheses.H0: ____________________ Ha: ____________________ Is this a right-tailed, left-tailed, or two-tailed test? What symbol represents the random variable for this test? In words, define the random variable for this test.

A large firm employing tens of thousands of workers has been accused of discriminating against its female managers. The accusation is based on a random sample of 100 managers. The mean salary for 38 female managers is $76,189, while the mean annual salary of 62 male managers is $97,832. A two-sample t-test reveals that the difference between the male and female mean salaries is significant yielding a p-value less than 0.01, suggesting there is overwhelming evidence that the mean male salary is significantly higher than the mean female salary. The president of the company points out that the company has a strict policy of equal pay for equal work and that the difference in pay must be attributable to some other factors besides gender. To this point he provides the following multiple linear regression output where: Education is recorded as the number of years of education each manager had Experience is recorded as the number of years of experience Gender is recorded as 0 for…
