ore. A company that is running a career fair decides to take a random sample of 228 teachers from the metro Atlanta area and record their salaries. The sample mean is $49,021, with a standard deviation of $3,127.

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0119 < 0.06, which means that the data provides statistically significant evidence at the 0.06 level that the average teaching stay in the metro Atlanta area is greater than the state average.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average teaching salary in Georgia is $48,553 per year. The school districts in the metro Atlanta area boast that they pay more.

At the null hypothesis, we test if they pay the average, that is:

H_0: \mu = 48553

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if they pay more, that is:

H_1: \mu > 48553

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

48553 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 48553

Sample of 228 teachers from the metro Atlanta area and record their salaries. The sample mean is $49,021, with a standard deviation of $3,127.

This means that n = 228, X = 49021, \sigma = 3127

Value of the test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{49021 - 48553}{\frac{3127}{\sqrt{228}}}

z = 2.26

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean above 49021, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 2.26.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2.26 has a p-value of 0.9881

1 - 0.9881 = 0.0119

The p-value of the test is 0.0119 < 0.06, which means that the data provides statistically significant evidence at the 0.06 level that the average teaching stay in the metro Atlanta area is greater than the state average.

An integer is chosen between 0 and 100. What is the probability that it is divisible by 7?
IgorC [24]
Assuming 0 and 100 are included in the possible choices:

There are \left\lfloor\dfrac{101}7\right\rfloor=14 multiples of 7 between 0 and 100, so there is a \dfrac{14}{101}\approx0.1386 probability of choosing a multiple of 7.
