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…arrow_forward(a) Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) has reported that 21% of loans granted by conventional bank were for home mortgages, 39% were for automobile purchases, 20% were for credit card and other unsecured loans, 12% were for real estate other than home loans, and 8% were for other miscellaneous needs. To see if XYZ Bank customers had similar needs, the bank manager surveyed a random sample of 100 loans and found that 25 were for home mortgages, 44 for automobile purchases, 19 for credit card and unsecured loans, 8 for real estate other than home loans, and 4 for miscellaneous needs.

- A poll of 176,903 American adults, aged 18 and older, was conducted January 2 to December 30, 2014, as part of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index survey. Gallup and Healthways have been “tracking Americans’ life evaluations daily” since 2008. According to this poll, in 2014, Americans’ outlook on life was the best in seven years, as 54.1% “rated their lives highly enough to be considered thriving,” 42.1% said they were struggling, and 3.8% mentioned that they were suffering. As mentioned in the chart, the margin of sampling error was ±1%.arrow_forwardFor several decades, it was a common practice in Southern California for houses to be built with pools in the backyard (as any airplane flight which ends at a Southern California airport will reveal). Now, however, that practice may be changing, possibly because of the recent demand for landscaped homes, which experts believe help reduce pollution. A recent study examined a random sample of 127 houses built in Southern California between 1950 and 1985 and an independent, random sample of 71 houses built in Southern California from 1992 to the present. The sample of houses built in 1950 – 1985 contained 43 houses with pools, and the sample of houses built from 1992 – present contained 23 houses with pools. Based on this survey, can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all Southern California houses built in 1950 – 1985 that were built with pools is greater than the proportion p2 of all Southern California houses built from 1992 – present that were…arrow_forwardFor several decades, it was a common practice in Southern California for houses to be built with pools in the backyard (as any airplane flight which ends at a Southern California airport will reveal).
