The average starting salary of students who graduated from colleges of Business in 2009 was $48,400. A sample of 100 graduates of 2010 showed an average starting salary of $50,000. Assume the standard deviation of the population is known to be $8000. We want to determine whether or not there has been a significant increase in the starting salaries.
As part of a study for the Department of Labor Statistics, you are assigned the task of evaluating the improvement in productivity of small businesses. Data for one of the small businesses you are to evaluate are shown at right. The data are the monthly average of last year and the monthly average this year. Determine the multifactor productivity with dollars as the common denominator for: a) Last year. b) This year. c) Then determine the percent change in productivity for the monthly average last year versus the monthly average this year on a multifactor basis. ◆ Labor: $8 per hour ◆ Capital: 0.83% per month of investment ◆ Energy: $0.60 per BTU
According to NACE's April 2014 Salary Survey, engineering majors held eight of the top 10 spots on the list of top-paid majors for the class of 2014 bachelor’s degree graduates. Graduates in petroleum engineering were the highest paid at $94,800. Civil engineering graduates were the 10th highest paid at $62,200. Assuming the starting salary of petroleum engineering graduates stays the same for the next 10 years, what annual increase in pay would be required for civil engineering graduates to receive the same starting salary as that of petroleum engineering graduates?
