The National Association of Colleges (NAC) reported in 2003 that the mean starting salary for collegegraduates majoring in management information systems was $40,915 and for psychology major was$27,454. Suppose the NAC data are based on surveys of size 144 for each major, with a standarddeviation of $10,000 for the management information systems majors and $7000 for the psychologymajors. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference between two means.

Country Financial, a financial services company, uses surveys of adults age 18 and older to determine if personal financial fitness is changing over time (USA Today, April 4, 2012). In February 2012, a sample of 1000 adults showed 410 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. In February 2010, a sample of 900 adults showed 315 indicating that their financial security was more than fair. State the hypotheses that can be used to test for a significant difference between the population proportions for the two years. What is the sample proportion indicating that their financial security was more than fair in 2012? In 2010? Conduct the hypothesis test and compute the p-value. At a .05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population proportions?
We are interested in analysing the effect of the lockout laws introduced in some areas of the Sydney CBD and nearby surrounds on the number of alcohol-related violent incidents. Suppose we have two samples of data on the number of violent incidents in a number of local areas of the Sydney CBD and nearby surrounds. Pubs, hotels and clubs located in a subset of these areas became subject to the lockout laws when they were introduced in 2014. The first sample is from 2010 before the introduction of the lockout laws, and the second is from 2015 after the introduction of the law. The hypothesis we wish to test is that the introduction of the lockout laws reduces violent incidents in the areas in which the lockout laws were put in place. We use a difference-in-difference model on the pooled data from 2010 and 2015. We find the following results: viol_inc hat = 33.21 (5.29) + 12.43lockout (7.01) – 4.19Yr2015 (2.98) – 3.32 (lockout x Yr2015) (1.85) N = 181, R^2 = 0.128 Where: viol_incis the…
The U.S. Census Bureau conducts annual surveys to obtain information on the percentage of the voting-age population that is registered to vote. Suppose that 450 employed persons and 477 unemployed persons are independently and randomly selected, and that 291 of the employed persons and 242 of the unemployed persons have registered to vote. Can we conclude that the percentage of employed workers ( p1 ), who have registered to vote, exceeds the percentage of unemployed workers ( p2 ), who have registered to vote? Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Step 3 of 6 : Compute the weighted estimate of p, p‾ . Round your answer to three decimal places.

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.
A stock analyst wants to determine whether there is a difference in the mean rate of return for three types of stock: utility, retail, and banking stocks. The following output is obtained: Using the 0.05 level of significance, is there a difference in the mean rate of return among the three types of stock? Can the analyst conclude there is a difference between the mean rates of return for utility and retail stocks? For utility and banking stocks? For banking and retail stocks? (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.)
