Q:
A cell phone service provider has 14,000 customers. Recently, the sales department selected a random sample of 400 customer accounts and recorded the number of minutes of long distance time used during the previous billing period. The company analyst used Excel to sort these values in order from high to low. She then assigned the highest value a rank of 1, the next highest value a rank of 2, and so forth. These ranks would be considered to be ordinal data.

Q:
A major issue facing many states is whether to legalize casino gambling. Suppose the governor of one state believes that more than 55% of the state's registered voters would favor some form of legal casino gambling. However, before backing a proposal to allow such gambling, the governor has instructed his aides to conduct a statistical test on the issue. To do this, the aides have hired a consulting firm to survey a simple random sample of 300 voters in the state. Of these 300 voters, 175 actually favored legalized gambling.
Assuming that a significance level of 0.05 is used, what conclusion should the governor reach based on these sample data?
A) Since z = 1.1594 < 1.645, do not reject the null hypothesis.
The sample data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 55 percent of the population favor legalized gambling.
B) Since z = 2.1316 > 1.645, reject the null hypothesis.
The sample data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 55 percent of the population favor legalized gambling.
C) Since z = 1.1594 < 1.645, do not reject the null hypothesis.
The sample data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 58 percent of the population favor legalized gambling.
D) Since z = 2.1316 > 1.645, reject the null hypothesis.
The sample data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 58 percent of the population favor legalized gambling.

Otherwise, do not reject.B) The decision rule is: reject the null hypothesis if the calculated value of the test statistic, z, is less than 2.013 or greater than -2.013. Otherwise, do not reject.C) The decision rule is: reject the null hypothesis if the calculated value of the test statistic, z, is greater than 2.575 or less than -2.575. Otherwise, do not reject.D) The decision rule is: reject the null hypothesis if the calculated value of the test statistic, z, is less than 2.575 or greater than -2.575. Otherwise, do not reject.
Q:
At a recent meeting, the manager of a national call center for a major Internet bank made the statement that the average past-due amount for customers who have been called previously about their bills is now no larger than $20.00. Other bank managers at the meeting suggested that this statement may be in error and that it might be worthwhile to conduct a test to see if there is statistical support for the call center manager's statement. The file called Bank Call Center contains data for a random sample of 67 customers from the call center population. Assuming that the population standard deviation for past due amounts is known to be $60.00, what should be concluded based on the sample data? Test using α = 0.10.
A) Because p-value = 0.4121 > alpha = 0.10, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
The sample data do not provide sufficient evidence to reject the call center manager's statement that the mean past due amount is $20.00 or less.
B) Because p-value = 0.4121 > alpha = 0.10, we reject the null hypothesis.
The sample data provide sufficient evidence to reject the call center manager's statement that the mean past due amount is $20.00 or less.
C) Because p-value = 0.2546 > alpha = 0.10, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
The sample data do not provide sufficient evidence to reject the call center manager's statement that the mean past due amount is $20.00 or less.
D) Because p-value = 0.2546 > alpha = 0.10, we reject the null hypothesis.
The sample data provide sufficient evidence to reject the call center manager's statement that the mean past due amount is $20.00 or less.
Q:
The director of a state agency believes that the average starting salary for clerical employees in the state is less than $30,000 per year. To test her hypothesis, she has collected a simple random sample of 100 starting clerical salaries from across the state and found that the sample mean is $29,750. Assuming the population standard deviation is known to be $2,500 and the significance level for the test is to be 0.05, what is the critical value (stated in dollars)?
A) For alpha = .05 and a one tailed, lower tail test, the critical value is z = -1.645. Solving for the critical x-bar: -1.645 = (x-bar - 30,000)/250, x-bar = $29,588.75
B) For alpha = .05 and a one tailed, lower tail test, the critical value is z = -1.96. Solving for the critical x-bar: -1.96 = (x-bar - 30,000)/250, x-bar = $34,211.14
C) For alpha = .05 and a one tailed, lower tail test, the critical value is z = -1.645. Solving for the critical x-bar: -1.645 = (x-bar - 30,000)/250, x-bar = $34,211.14
D) For alpha = .05 and a one tailed, lower tail test, the critical value is z = -1.96. Solving for the critical x-bar: -1.96 = (x-bar - 30,000)/250, x-bar = $30,411.25

Q:
For the following hypothesis test:A) Reject the null hypothesis if the calculated value of the test statistic, z, is greater than the critical value of the test statistic, 1.645.

Otherwise, do not reject.C) Accept the null hypothesis if the calculated value of the test statistic, z, is greater than the critical value of the test statistic, 1.645. Otherwise, do not accept.D) Accept the null hypothesis if the calculated value of the test statistic, z, is greater than the critical value of the test statistic, 2.05. Otherwise, do not accept.
Q:
A contract calls for the mean diameter of a cylinder to be 1.50 inches. As a quality check, each day a random sample of n = 36 cylinders is selected and the diameters are measured.

A) Approximately 0.1267
B) About 0.6789
C) 0.975
D) Can't be determined without knowing the "true" population mean.
