1. Question: A large department store is curious about what sections of the store make the most sales. The manager has data from ten years prior that show 30% of sales come from Clothing, 25% Home Appliances, 18% Housewares, 13% Cosmetics, 12% Jewelry, and 2% Other. In a random sample of 550 current sales, 188 came from Clothing, 153 Home Appliances, 83 Housewares, 54 Cosmetics, 61 Jewelry, and 11 Other. At α=0.10, can the manager conclude that the distribution of sales among the departments ha...

1. Question: A manager wishes to see if the time (in minutes) it takes for their workers to complete a certain task is faster if they are wearing earbuds. A random sample of 20 workers' times were collected before and after wearing earbuds. Test the claim that the time to complete the task will be faster, i.e. meaning has production increased, at a significance level of α = 0.01 For the context of this problem, µD = µbefore−µafter where the first data set represents before earbuds and the...

1. Question: The least squares regression line for a data set is yˆ=5+0.3x and the standard deviation of the residuals is 0.4. Does a case with the values x = 3.3, y = 7.2 qualify as an outlier? 2. Question: The least squares regression line for a data set is yˆ=5+0.3x and the standard deviation of the residuals is 0.52. Does a case with the values x = -1.59, y = 5.78 qualify as an outlier? 3. Question: The following data represent the weight of a child riding a bike and the rolling distance...

1. Question: An instructor wants to compare spread (variation) of final grades of students in her online class and face-to-face class. The instructor selects 10 students randomly from each class and the following table shows the final grades of those students. See Attached Excel for Data. 2. Question: The lengths (in kilometers) of rivers on the South Island of New Zealand that flow to the Tasman Sea are listed below. Find the variance. See Attached Excel for Data. Use the Excel function to fin...

1. Question: "Number of times per week" is what type of data in the scenario? A study was done to determine the age, the number of times per week, and the duration (amount of time) of residents using a local gym in San Antonio, Texas. The first car in the parking lot was selected randomly, and then the resident of every eighth car in the lot around the gym was interviewed. 2. Question: What is the sampling method used in the following scenario? The barista at a local Starbucks wants to determ...
