QUESTION 7
-
The manager of a department store is thinking about establishing a new billing system for the store's credit customers.
She determines that the new system will be cost-effective only if the
mean monthly account is more than $170. A random sample of 400 monthly accounts is drawn, for which the sample mean is $178.The manager knows that the accounts are approximately
normally distributed with a standard deviation of $65. Can the manager conclude from this that the new system will be cost-effective?Conduct the hypothesis testing using a rejection region approach at significance level = 2.5%.

- (a) The population 3, 4, 9, 14, and 20 has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 6.356. The z-scores for each of the five data values are z3 ≈ −1.101, z4 ≈ −0.944, z9 ≈ −0.157, z14 ≈ 0.629, and z20 ≈ 1.573. Find the mean and the standard deviation of these z-scores. mean standard deviation (b) The population 2, 6, 12, 17, 22, and 25 has a mean of 14 and a standard deviation of 8.226. The z-scores for each of the six data values are z2 ≈ −1.459, z6 ≈ −0.973, z12 ≈ −0.243, z17 ≈ 0.365, z22 ≈ 0.973, and z25 ≈ 1.337. Find the mean and the standard deviation of these z-scores. mean standard deviation (c) Use the results of part (a) and part (b) to make a conjecture about the mean and standard deviation of the z-scores for any set of data. The mean of the z-scores is always 1, and their standard deviation is 0. The mean of the z-scores is always 1 more than the standard deviation. The mean and standard deviation of z-scores are never the same.…arrow_forwardA large corporation employs 19185 individuals. The average income of all employees is $70616, with a standard deviation of $19414 and is skewed to the right. Consider this to be the population distribution. You are given a data set consisting of the incomes of 120 randomly selected employees.arrow_forwardAn insurance company wants to make sure that its best customers (those with lowest value of insurance claims) stay with the company. To achieve this goal, the company plans to offer a 10% discount on the annual health insurance premium for customers with the lowest 20% of annual health care expenses. If the average annual health care expenses for a family of four is $3,650 with a standard deviation of $975, what is the amount of the maximum annual health care expense that will qualify for the proposed discount?arrow_forward
- A recent Gallup Poll interviewed a random sample of 1523 adults. Of these, 868 bought a lottery tickets in the past year. Suppose that in fact (unknown to Gallup) exactly 60% of all adults bought a lottery ticket in the past year. If Gallup took many simple random samples of 1,523 people, the sample proportion who bought a ticket would vary from sample to sample. The sampling distribution would be close to normal with a mean of 0.6 and a standard deviation of___ A)0.4899 B)0.0251 C)0.00016 D)0.0126arrow_forwardAccording to a 2006 survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), birth rates peak slightly between July and October each year. While a slight numerical increase in birth rates is often observed, this difference is assumed to be statistically non-significant. Thus, we would expect to see an equal number of people born during each month of the year in the United States. The "Birth Data.jasp" contains the birth months for 1380 babies (N = 1380) born during the year 2006 in the United States collected by the CDC. Conduct a Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test at α = 0.05, to see if the number of babies born each month “fits” with the CDC’s assumptions about the population. Identify the correct null hypothesis. A. H0: The number of babies born throughout the year is equal across all 12 months B. H0: The number of babies born during the summer months is greater than the number of babies born during the rest of the year C. HA: The number of babies born in…arrow_forwardIn a study of birth order and intelligence, IQ tests were given to 18- and 19-year-old men to estimate the size of the difference, if any, between the mean IQs of firstborn sons and secondborn sons. The following data for 10 firstborn sons and 10 secondborn sons are consistent with the means and standard deviations reported in the article. It is reasonable to assume that the samples come from populations that are approximately normal. Can you conclude that the mean IQ of firstborn sons is greater than the mean IQ of secondborn sons? Let μ1 denote the mean IQ of firstborn sons and μ2 denote the mean IQ of secondborn sons. Use the α = 0.01 level and the P-value method with the table.
