A sample of 38 observations is selected from one population with a population standard deviation of 3.4. The sample mean is 100.

5. A sample of 51 observations is selected from a second population with a population standard deviation of 5.8. The sample mean is 98.8. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the 0.05 significance level. H0 : μ1 = μ2 H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2
a. This is a -tailed test.
b. State the decision rule. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
c. Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
d. What is your decision regarding H0?
e. What is the p-value? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

a. two-tailed test

b. reject H0 if Z>1.96 or Z<-1.96

c. Z = 1.73

d. we have failed to reject the null hypothesis

e. P-value = 0.0418

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use a Z test to resolve this, an it will be a two-tailed test because the hypothesis statements are not indicating a specific direction for the significant difference (H0 : μ1 = μ2 ; H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2), this also means that the significanclevel will be divided between the both tails (2.5% en each tail for the rejection regions). See attached drawing for reference.

We need to find our critical value:

Zα/2 = Z(0.05/2) = 0.025

If we look for 0.025 in a Z table we will find that the critical value is 1.96 to the right, and by symmetry -1.96 to the left. So our decision rule will be to reject H0 if Z>1.96 or Z<-1.96

The Z test will be done using the next equation:

Z = (x⁻1 - x⁻2) - (μ1 - μ2) / √( σ²1/n1 + σ²2/n2

Because we are testing the null hypothesis we know that μ1 - μ2 must be zero if they are supposed to be equal (H0 : μ1 = μ2), so we calculate as follows:

Z = (100.5 - 98.8) - (0) / √( (3.4)²/38 + (5.8)²/51 = 1.7/0.9817 = 1.73

Z<1.96, therefore we have failed to reject the null hypothesis

The P-value for this test would be represented by the probability of Z being greater than 1.73, so we can look for it in any Z table, finding that its value is 0.0418, and because P-value>0.025 we again confirm that we don't have evidence statistically significant to reject the null hypothesis

The fitted regression is Sales = 832 − 28.2 Price. (a-1) If Price = 1, what is the prediction for Sales? (Round your answer to 1
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Part (a-1): The prediction for Sales is 803.8.

Part (a-2): The correct option is: An increase in price decreases sales.

Part (B): The prediction for sales is 211.66

Part (C): The intercept is meaningful as sales will be maximized when price is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided regression:

Sales = 832 − 28.2 Price

(a-1) If Price = 1, what is the prediction for Sales?

Substitute Price = 1 in above regression.

Sales = 832 − 28.2 (1) = 803.8

Hence, the prediction for Sales is 803.8.

Sales (a-2) Choose the correct statement.

Here we can observe that as we increase the price, sales decrease.

Thus, the correct option is: An increase in price decreases sales.

(b) If Price = 22, what is the prediction for Sales?

Substitute Price = 22 in above regression.

Sales = 832 − 28.2 (22)

Sales = 832 − 620.4

Sales = 211.66

Hence, the prediction for sales is 211.66

Sales (c) Choose the right option.

As we increase the price, sales decrease that means the sales will be maximum if the price is 0.

The intercept is meaningful as sales will be maximized when price is zero.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

y=19

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y - 9) = 30

3y - 27 = 30

       3y = 30 + 27

       3y = 57

         y = 19
