Hourly wages at Manufacturing Plant A vary from worker to worker, with an average hourly wage of $13.73 and a standard deviation of $2.55 per hour. Plant B, a newly constructed manufacturing plant, claims that its employees will be paid, on average, more than employees at Plant A. Assume that the standard deviation in hourly wages at Plant B is the same as at Plant A (2.55). Choose the correct statistical hypotheses: A. Ho: μPlant B > 13.73, HA: μPlant B ≤ 13.73 B. Ho: μPlant B = 13.73, HA: μPlant B > 13.73 C. Ho: μPlant B = 13.73, HA: μPlant B ≠ 13.73 D. Ho: μPlant B > 13.73, HA: μPlant B ≤ 13.73 E. Ho: μPlant B = 13.73, HA: μPlant B > 13.73 F. Ho: μPlant B = 13.73, HA: μPlant B ≠ 13.73 (b) Statistical testing of the null hypothesis is to be carried out by randomly selecting 38 employees at Plant B. If the mean hourly wage of these 38 employees is greater than $14.7, then there is enough statistical evidence to indicate that the mean hourly wage of employees at Plant B is greater than the mean hourly wage of employees at Plant A. What level of significance (α) was used here? Enter your answer to at least three decimal places. The average of the sample of n = 38 workers was found to be X = $14.07. What decision can you make from this sample? A. Employees at Plant B do not earn more on average compared to employees at Plant A. B. The hourly wages at Plant B need to be normally distributed to do the test. C. Employees at Plant B do earn more on average compared to employees at Plant A. D. The sample size is too small to conduct a statistical test, so a decision cannot be made. (d) If the average hourly wage of all workers at Plant B is $14.58, what is the probability of concluding, using the decision criteria outlined in part (b), that the mean hourly wage of all employees at Plant B is not greater than the mean hourly wage of all employees at Plant A? Enter your answer to at least three decimals. Answer:

A value has z-score of 3. This means that Select one: a. That value if 3 standard deviation below the mean b. That value if 3 standard deviation above the mean c. That value is 3 standard deviation to the right of the median From a random sample of 500 students, students study for an average of 10 hours per week with a standard deviation of 4 hours per week. Say, a student in this sample studies for 12 hours per week. What is the z-score of this student? Select one: a. 2 b. 0.5 c. 8 In a statistics mid-term graded out of 100 points, the distribution of the scores was bi-modal with a mean of 70 points with a standard deviation of 10 points. What percentage of students scored between 40 points and 100 points? Select one: a. At least 70% b. at least 89% c. approximately 100% Students at a liberal arts college study for an average of 10 hours per week with a standard deviation of 4 hours per week. The distribution of their study time happens to be skewed to left. At least 75% of students study between 2 and B hours a week. What is the value of B? Select one: a. 18 hours b. 2 hours c. 4 hours d. None of the above The histogram of a quantitative variable is positively skewed. The mean of the variable is 35. Which one of the following is a more likely value of the median? Select one: a. 55 b. 30 c. 35
