TABLE 16-15
Given below are the average prices for three types of energy products for five
consecutive years.
Referring to Table 16-15, what are the simple price indices for electricity, natural gas
and fuel oil, respectively, in year 5 using year 1 as the base year?
TABLE 7-8
According to a survey, only 15% of customers who visited the website of a major retail
store made a purchase. Random samples of size 50 are selected from a population of
900. Use the finite population correction factor.
Referring to Table 7-8, 90% of the samples will have less than what percentage of
customers who will make a purchase after visiting the website?
TABLE 17-8
The superintendent of a school district wanted to predict the percentage of students
passing a sixth-grade proficiency test. She obtained the data on percentage of students
passing the proficiency test (% Passing), daily mean of the percentage of students
attending class (% Attendance), mean teacher salary in dollars (Salaries), and
instructional spending per pupil in dollars (Spending) of 47 schools in the state.
Following is the multiple regression output with Y = % Passing as the dependent
variable, X1 = % Attendance, X2 = Salaries and X3 = Spending:
Referring to Table 17-8, what is the p-value of the test statistic to determine whether
there is a significant relationship between the percentage of students passing the
proficiency test and the entire set of explanatory variables?
TABLE 11-5
A hotel chain has identically small sized resorts in 5 locations in different small islands.
The data that follow resulted from analyzing the hotel occupancies on randomly
selected days in the 5 locations.
Analysis of Variance
* or p < 0.005, tabular value
Referring to Table 11-5, the total variation or SST is ________.
TABLE 5-11
Subscribers to Investment Advice White Letters perform security transactions at the rate
of five trades per month. Assume that one of the subscribers performs transactions at
this rate and the probability of a transaction for any two months is the same and the
number of transactions in one month is independent of the number of transactions in
another month.
Referring to Table 5-11, what is the probability that at least five security transactions
will be conducted in one month?
TABLE 3-5
The rate of return of a Fortune 500 company over the past 15 years are: 3.17%, 4.43%,
5.93%, 5.43%, 7.29%, 8.21%, 6.23%, 5.23%, 4.34%, 6.68%, 7.14%, -5.56%, -5.23%,
-5.73%, -10.34%.
Referring to Table 3-5, compute the geometric mean rate of return per year for the first
four years.
TABLE 17-11
A logistic regression model was estimated in order to predict the probability that a
randomly chosen university or college would be a private university using information
on mean total Scholastic Aptitude Test score (SAT) at the university or college, the
room and board expense measured in thousands of dollars (Room/Brd), and whether the
TOEFL criterion is at least 550 (Toefl550 = 1 if yes, 0 otherwise.) The dependent
variable, Y, is school type (Type = 1 if private and 0 otherwise).
Referring to Table 17-11, what is the estimated odds ratio for a school with a mean SAT
score of 1100, a TOEFL criterion that is not at least 550, and the room and board
expense of 7 thousand dollars?
TABLE 10-4
Two samples each of size 25 are taken from independent populations assumed to be
normally distributed with equal variances. The first sample has a mean of 35.5 and
standard deviation of 3.0 while the second sample has a mean of 33.0 and standard
deviation of 4.0.
Referring to Table 10-4, if you were interested in testing against the one-tail alternative
that 1 > 2 at the = 0.01 level of significance, the null hypothesis would ________
(be rejected/not be rejected).
