A large software development firm recently relocated its facilities. Top management is interested in fostering good relations wi

th their new local community and has encouraged their professional employees to engage in local service activities. They believe that the​ firm's professionals volunteer an average of more than 21 hours per month. If this is not the​ case, they will institute an incentive program to increase community involvement. A random sample of 24 professionals yields a mean of 22 hours and a standard deviation of 2.22 hours.
12 13 14 14 15 15 15 16 16 16 16 16
17 17 17 18 18 18 18 19 19 19 20 21

The sample has a mean of 16.6 hours and a standard deviation of 2.22 credit hours.

At α = 0.05,

I. we reject the null hypothesis.
II. we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
III. the firm shouldn't need to institute an incentive program because the evidence indicates that professional employees volunteer an average of more than 15 hours per month in their local community.

a. II and III
b. I and III
c. II only

Answer:

B. i and iii

Step-by-step explanation:

There are mistakes in your question. But I solve this problem using the average mean of 15 because that is what is contained in the solution

Hypothesis

H0: u <= 15

H1: u > 15

Mean of x = 16.6

S = 2.22

Test statistic used is t test

16.6 - 15 / 2.22/√24

= 3.531

We find the critical value

Degree of freedom = 24-1 = 23

This is a one tailed test

Critical value = 1.714

We find p value using Ms excel T distribution function

= 0.000894

To make the decision

3.531 > 1.714 so we conclude that

I.) Reject null hypothesis

Iii) conclude an average if more than 15 hours is volunteered per month. So no need to institute the program.

The answer option Is B

Some government leaders propose allowing oil companies to drill in currently protected lands that may be rich in oil reserves. E
TEA [102]

The type of bias in this survey is question-wording bias because the question is influencing the response (option D).

Question-wording bias occurs when the words selected in the question influence a specific response. Here is one example:

  • Do you believe a cruel practice such as bullfighting should be forbidden?

In this question, the use of the word cruel qualifies bullfighting as negative, and therefore in most cases, people will answer that bullfighting should be forbidden.

This effect occurs in the question for this survey because the section given that an increase in drilling could result in increased tax revenue and additional jobs to the region indirectly states drilling is positive and therefore influences the response of those surveyed.

Note: This question is incomplete because some of the options are missing; here are the complete options:

What type of bias could be most likely affecting the survey results?

A. This is undercoverage bias because some segments of the population will be excluded from the sample.

B. This is response bias because those selected for the survey may not provide truthful opinions about oil drilling.

C. This is voluntary response bias because those most passionate about drilling will be more likely to register an opinion.

D. This is question-wording bias because the information given at the start of the question may lead those surveyed towards a desired response.

Consider the quadratic expression given below.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

4(x + 5)(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² + 8x - 60 ← factor out 4 from each term

= 4(x² + 2x - 15) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 5 and - 3 , since

+ 5 × - 3 = - 15 and + 5 - 3 = + 2, then

x² + 2x - 15 = (x + 5)(x - 3)

Then

4x² + 8x - 60 = 4(x + 5)(x - 3) ← in factored form

Write an equation in slope-intercept from the line with slope 3/5 and y-intercept 1 . Then graph the line.
never [62]

Answer:

y=(3/5)x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a line is as follows

y=mx+c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept.

Hence the equation of the line is y=(3/5)x+1
