Q:
One of the factors that a company will use in determining whether it will locate a new facility in a community is the status of the real estate market. The managers believe that an important measure of the real estate market is the average length of time that homes stay on the market before selling. They believe that if the mean time on the market is less than 45 days, the real estate market is favorable. To test this in a particular area, a random sample of n = 100 homes that sold during the past six months was selected. The mean for this sample was 40 days. It is believed that the population standard deviation is 15 days. If the test is conducted using a 0.05 level of significance, what conclusion should be reached?

Q:
Swift is the holding company for Swift Transportation Co., Inc., a truckload carrier headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. Swift operates the largest truckload fleet in the United States. Before Swift switched to its current computer-based billing system, the average payment time from customers was approximately 40 days. Suppose before purchasing the present billing system, it performed a test by examining a random sample of 24 invoices to see if the system would reduce the average billing time. The sample indicates that the average payment time is 38.7 days.
The company that created the billing system indicates that the system would reduce the average billing time to less than 40 days. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the new computer-based billing system would reduce the average billing time to less than 40 days. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 6 days. Use a significance level of 0.025.
A) Since z = -0.423 > -1.96, we will not reject H0, there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the new computer-based billing system would reduce the average billing time to less than 40 days.
B) Since z = -1.0614 > -1.96, we will not reject H0, there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the new computer-based billing system would reduce the average billing time to less than 40 days.
C) z = -1.0231 > -1.96, we will reject H0, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the new computer-based billing system would reduce the average billing time to less than 40 days.
D) z = 0.341 > -1.96, we will reject H0, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the new computer-based billing system would reduce the average billing time to less than 40 days.

Q:
Because of the complex nature of the U.S. income tax system, many people have questions for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Yet, an article published by the Detroit Free Press entitled "Assistance: IRS Help Centers Give the Wrong Information" discusses the propensity of IRS staff employees to give incorrect tax information to tax-payers who call with questions. Then IRS Inspector General Pamela Gardiner told a Senate subcommittee that "the IRS employees at 400 taxpayer assistance centers nationwide encountered 8.5 million taxpayers face-to-face last year. The problem: When inspector general auditors posing as taxpayers asked them to answer tax questions, the answers were right 69% of the time."Suppose an independent commission was formed to test whether the 0.69 accuracy rate is correct or whether it is actually higher or lower. The commission has randomly selected n = 180 tax returns that were completed by IRS assistance employees and found that 105 of the returns were accurately completed.Using an = 0.05 level, based on the sample data, what conclusion should be reached about the IRS rate of correct tax returns?A) The z-critical values from the standard normal table for a two-tailed test with alpha = 0.05 are and z = -1.96. Since z = -0.96 > -1.96, we do not reject the null hypothesis. Thus, based on these sample data, we believe that the accuracy rate is actually higher than the 0.69 rate quoted in the Detroit Free Press articleB) The z-critical values from the standard normal table for a two-tailed test with alpha = 0.05 are and z = -1.96. Since z = -0.96 > -1.96, we do not reject the null hypothesis. Thus, based on these sample data, we believe that the accuracy rate is actually higher than the 0.58 rate quoted in the Detroit Free Press articleC) The z-critical values from the standard normal table for a two-tailed test with alpha = 0.05 are and z = -1.96. Since z= -3.19 < -1.96, we reject the null hypothesis. Thus, based on these sample data, we believe that the accuracy rate is actually lower than the 0.69 rate quoted in the Detroit Free Press article.D) The z-critical values from the standard normal table for a two-tailed test with alpha = 0.05 are and z = -1.96. Since z = -3.19 < -1.96, we reject the null hypothesis. Thus, based on these sample data, we believe that the accuracy rate is actually lower than the 0.58 rate quoted in the Detroit Free Press article.
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.

Q:
Hono Golf is a manufacturer of golf products in Taiwan and China. One of the golf accessories it produces at its plant in Tainan Hsing, Taiwan, is plastic golf tees. The injector molder produces golf tees that are designed to have an average height of 66 mm. To determine if this specification is met, random samples are taken from the production floor. One sample is contained in the file labeled THeight. If the hypothesis test determines the specification is not being met, the production process will be shut down while causes and remedies are determined. At times this occurs even though the process is functioning to specification. What type of statistical error would this be?
A) The null hypothesis, the specification not being met, was not rejected when in fact it was not being met, this is a Type II error.
B) The null hypothesis, the specification not being met, was not rejected when in fact it was not being met, this is a Type I error.
C) The null hypothesis, the specification is being met, was rejected when in fact it was being met, this is a Type II error.
D) The null hypothesis, the specification is being met, was rejected when in fact it was being met, this is a Type I error.
Q:
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (www.cbpp.org) reported that average out-of-pocket medical expenses for prescription drugs for privately insured adults with incomes over 200% of the poverty level was $173 in 2002. Suppose an investigation was conducted in 2012 to determine whether the increased availability of generic drugs, Internet prescription drug purchases, and cost controls have reduced out-of-pocket drug expenses. The investigation randomly sampled 196 privately insured adults with incomes over 200% of the poverty level, and the respondents' 2012 out-of-pocket medical expenses for prescription drugs were recorded. These data are in the file Drug Expenses. Based on the sample data, can it be concluded that 2012 out-of-pocket prescription drug expenses are lower than the 2002 average reported by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities? Use a level of significance of 0.01 to conduct the hypothesis test.
A) Because t = -2.69 is less than -2.3456, do not reject H0
Conclude that 2012 average out-of-pocket prescription drug expenses are not lower than the 2002 average.
B) Because t = -2.69 is less than -2.3456, reject H0
Conclude that 2012 average out-of-pocket prescription drug expenses are lower than the 2002 average.
C) Because t = -1.69 is less than -0.8712, reject H0
