A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in New York and Illinois. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the that the mean annual income of childcare workers in the state of New York is greater than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Illinois. To see if this is true, the firm selected a random sample of 20 childcare workers from New York and an independent random sample of 20 childcare workers from Illinois and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows. Annual income in dollars New York 46686 , 34979 , 47325 , 48892 , 51128 , 56792 , 47785 , 48995 , 57301 , 55176 , 48002 , 45718 , 50351 , 58527 , 47067 , 53699 , 54361 , 49727 , 36426 , 50870 Illinois 48009 , 46871 , 42774 , 49790 , 43163 , 45401 , 41068 , 50300 , 47064 , 42003 , 47775 , 41917…
Most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. A software firm survey of 636 randomly selected adults showed that 61% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could. Find the value of the test statistic.
An investigator reviewed the medical records of 200 children seen for care at Boston Medical Center in the past year who were between the ages 8-12 and identified 40 with asthma. He also identified 40 children of the same ages who were free of asthma. Each child and their family were interviewed to assess whether there might be an association between certain environmental factors such as exposure to second hand smoke. This study is an example of a: randomized controlled trial case-control study cohort study crossover trial

An article claimed that "those with a college degree reported a higher incidence of sunburn than those without a high school degree—45 percent versus 26 percent." For purposes of this exercise, suppose that these percentages were based on random samples of size 200 from each of the two groups of interest (college graduates and those without a high school degree). Is there convincing evidence that the proportion who experience a sunburn is higher for college graduates than it is for those without a high school degree? (Use pcollege graduates − pwithout a high school degree. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z = P =

The service manager of a car dealer wants to determine if owners of new cars (two years old or less) tune up their cars more frequently than owners of older cars (more than two years old). From his records he takes a random sample of ten new cars and ten older cars and determines the number of times the cars were tuned up in the last 12 months. The data follow. Do these data allow the service station owner to infer at the 10% significance level that new car owners tune up their cars more frequently than older car owners? Use the table to answer the following questions 2.What is the critical Value 3.What is the test statistic
