A real estate agent believes that the value of houses in the neighborhood she works in has increased from last year. To test this claim, she selects random houses in this neighborhood and compares their estimated market value in the current year to their estimated market value in the previous year. Suppose that data were collected for a random sample of 8 houses, where each difference is calculated by subtracting the market value of the previous year from the market value of the current year. Assume that the values are normally distributed. The agent uses the alternative hypothesis Ha:μd>0. Using a test statistic of t≈7.496, which has 7 degrees of freedom, determine the range that contains the p-value.

The table below shows the auto insurance quotes for two leading companies for a sample of 15 families. Assume the populations SDs are similar, but unknown. The President of the American Insurance Institute wants to compare the yearly costs of such insurance offered by the two companies. At the 0.10 level of significance, can we conclude that there is a difference in the amounts quoted?

The manager of a fast-food store realizes that her staffing problems are a result of the variation in the number of customers that arrive at the store. If the same number of customers came each hour, she would know exactly how many servers to have working. It turns out that the Poisson distribution works well to describe the arrivals of customers in any given hour. Explain why the manager has more trouble staffing the store during those hours when the average arrival rate is higher.
A manufacturer of exercise equipment knows that 15% of their products aredefective. They also know that only 35% of their customers will actually use the equipment in the first year after it is purchased. If there is a one-year warranty on the equipment, what proportion of the customers will actually make a valid warranty claim?

The Central Limit Theorem requires us to assume the population is normally distributed. True or False.
The quality department at an electronics company has noted that, historically, 91% of the units of a specific product pass a test operation, 6% fail the test but are able to be repaired, and 3% fail the test and need to be scrapped. Due to recent process improvements, the quality department would like to test if the rates have changed. A recent sample of 500 parts revealed that 473 parts passed the test, 20 parts failed the test but were repairable, and 7 parts failed the test and were scrapped. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: chi-square table or table)a. Choose the appropriate alternative hypothesis for the test.
