TABLE 12-3
The director of transportation of a large company is interested in the usage of her van
pool. She considers her routes to be divided into local and non-local. She is particularly
interested in learning if there is a difference in the proportion of males and females who
use the local routes. She takes a sample of a day's riders and finds the following:
She will use this information to perform a chi-square hypothesis test using a level of
significance of 0.05.
Referring to Table 12-3, the overall or mean proportion of local riders is ________.
TABLE 8-10
A sales and marketing management magazine conducted a survey on salespeople
cheating on their expense reports and other unethical conduct. In the survey on 200
managers, 58% of the managers have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report,
50% have caught salespeople working a second job on company time, 22% have caught
salespeople listing a 'strip bar" as a restaurant on an expense report, and 19% have
caught salespeople giving a kickback to a customer.
Referring to Table 8-10, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population
proportion of managers who have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report.
You were told that the mean score on a statistics exam is 75 with the scores normally
distributed. In addition, you know the probability of a score between 55 and 60 is
4.41% and that the probability of a score greater than 90 is 6.68%. What is the
probability of a score between 55 and 95?
TABLE 6-2
John has two jobs. For daytime work at a jewelry store he is paid $15,000 per month,
plus a commission. His monthly commission is normally distributed with a mean of
$10,000 and a standard deviation of $2,000. At night he works occasionally as a waiter,
for which his monthly income is normally distributed with a mean of $1,000 and a
standard deviation of $300. John's income levels from these two sources are
independent of each other.
Referring to Table 6-2, the probability is 0.95 that John's commission from the jewelry
store is at least how much in a given month?
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 probability that 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 will be a private school?
TABLE 11-4
An agronomist wants to compare the crop yield of 3 varieties of chickpea seeds. She
plants 15 fields, 5 with each variety. She then measures the crop yield in bushels per
acre. Treating this as a completely randomized design, the results are presented in the
table that follows.
Referring to Table 11-4, using an overall level of significance of 0.01, the critical range
for the Tukey-Kramer procedure is ________.
TABLE 11-10
An agronomist wants to compare the crop yield of 3 varieties of chickpea seeds. She
plants all 3 varieties of the seeds on each of 5 different patches of fields. She then
measures the crop yield in bushels per acre. Treating this as a randomized block design,
the results are presented in the table that follows.
Referring to Table 11-10, the value of MSA is ________, while MSBL is ________.
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 is the Paasche price index for the group of three energy
items in 2004 for a family that consumed 13 units of electricity, 26 units of natural gas
and 235 units of fuel oil in year 3 using year 1 as the base year?
