A consulting firm randomly selected 150 young employees in Tasmania. These selected employees answered questions and undertook a standard IQ test and a KW test. The KW test examines respondents' knowledge about the duties in their workplaces and the knowledge about the Australian and Tasmanian labour markets. Respondents' answers are entered into a spreadsheet where each column represents a variable. These variables include: 1. wage: monthly earnings in dollars 2. hours: average weekly working hours 3. IQ: IQ score

A company maintains three offices in a certain region, each staffed by two employees. Information concerning yearly salaries (1000s of dollars) is as follows: Office 1 1 2 2 3 3 Employee 1 2 3 4 5 6 Salary 30.7 34.6 31.2 34.6 26.8 30.7 (a) Suppose two of these employees are randomly selected from among the six (without replacement). Determine the sampling distribution of the sample mean salary x̄. (Enter your answers for p(x̄) as fractions.) (b) Suppose one of the three offices is randomly selected. Let X₁ and X₂ denote the salaries of the two employees. Determine the sampling distribution of x̄. (Enter your answers as fractions.) (c) How does E(x̄) from parts (a) and (b) compare to the population mean salary μ? E(x̄) from part (a) is ---Select--- μ, and E(x̄) from part (b) is ---Select--- μ.

A survey on a random sample of 400 full-time employees in Australia gave an average weekly salary of $1539 with a standard deviation of 212. Construct a 95% confidence interval for full-time weekly salary in Australia and write down the lower limit of the interval (up to 3 decimal places). Hint: the upper limit is 1559.776
