A salesman for a new manufacturer of cellular phones claims not only that they cost the retailer less but also that the percentage of defective cellular phones found among his products, ( p1 ), will be no higher than the percentage of defectives found in a competitor's line, ( p2 ). To test this statement, the retailer took a random sample of 130 of the salesman's cellular phones and 110 of the competitor's cellular phones. The retailer found that 10 of the salesman's cellular phones and 5 of the competitor's cellular phones were defective. Does the retailer have enough evidence to reject the salesman's claim? Use a significance level of α=0.05 for the test. Step 5 of 6 : Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis H0 . Round the numerical portion of your answer to three decimal places.

The manager of a men’s clothing catalog measured the market’s response to a $6 decrease in the usual price of his company’s oxford shirts by conducting a sales experiment. An A-B split was used to divide the company’s 120,000-customer mailing list into two groups. Customers in the control group were sent catalogs listing oxford shirts at their usual price of $40. Customers in the test group were sent catalogs listing the price of oxford shirts at $32.80. During the period of the test, customers in the control group purchased 700 oxford shirts, and customers in the test group purchased 889 oxford shirts.

Some methods of assessing reading level require estimating the average word length.

- A company is considering an organizational change which entails adopting the use of self-managed work teams which they hope will lead to higher levels of employee satisfaction. In order to assess the attitudes of employees of the company towards this change a sample of 250 employees was selected and asked whether they favor the institution of self-managed teams. Three responses were allowed: favor, neutral or oppose. The observed frequency of the results of the survey are shown below: Opinion Type of Job Favor Neutral Oppose Total Hourly Worker 25 40 35 100 Supervision 45 35 20 100 Manager 20 15 15 50 Total 90 90 70 250 Use this data to test the hypothesis that opinion and type of job are independent at the .025 level.arrow_forwardWith d-statistics 0.354 and du 1.715, What can you conclude about the Durbin Watson Test?arrow_forwardWhat is differance between three sector ecnomoy and four sector ecnomoyarrow_forward

Researchers questioned 1000 individuals fromCalifornia between the ages of 20 and 85 about their eating habits, andmeasured their weight and height. On average, participants ate chocolatetwice a week and had a body mass index (BMI) of 28. There was anobserved difference of five to seven pounds in weight between those whoate chocolate five times a week and those who did not eat any chocolate atall, with the chocolate eaters weighing less on average. Frequent chocolateeaters also consumed more calories, on average, than people who consumedless chocolate.

In order to assess the damages for the various units, the owners' association sent out a letter to owners and asked if people were willing to make their units available for destructive testing. Destructive testing was conducted in some of these units as a result of the responses. Based on the tests, the owners' association inferred the damage over the entire condo complex. Do you think that the inference is valid in this case? a). No, the inference is not valid. It is an example of sample selection bias because owners whose units were relatively more damaged were more likely to make theor units available for destructive testing. b).
