Essentials of Modern Business Statistics

A random variable is normally distributed with a mean of $\mu=50$ and a standard deviation of $\sigma=5 .$
a. Sketch a normal curve for the probability density function. Label the horizontal axis
with values of $35,40,45,50,55,60,$ and $65 .$ Figure 6.4 shows that the normal curve
almost touches the horizontal axis at three standard deviations below and at three
standard deviations above the mean (in this case at 35 and $65 ) .$
b. What is the probability that the random variable will assume a value between 45
and 55$?$
c. What is the probability that the random variable will assume a value between 40
and 60$?$

In one class, the correlation between scores on the final and the midterm was 0.50 , while the correlation between the scores on the final and the homework was 0.25 . True or false, and explain: the relationship between the final scores and the midterm scores is twice as linear as the relationship between the final scores and the homework scores.

One ticket will be drawn at random from each of the two boxes shown below:

$( \mathrm { A } ) \lfloor [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]$ $( \mathrm { B } ) \lfloor [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]$

Find the chance that:
(a) The number drawn from A is larger than the one from B.
(b) The number drawn from A equals the one from B.
(c) The number drawn from A is smaller than the one from B.

A new small business wants to know if its current radio advertising is effective. The owners decide to look at the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store on days immediately following days when the radio ads are played, as compared to the mean for those days following days when no radio advertisements are played. They found that for 13 days following no advertisements, the mean was 23.9 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.9 customers. On 6 days following advertising, the mean was 24.7 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.6 customers. Test the claim, at the 0.01 level, that the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store is lower for days following no advertising compared to days following advertising. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal. Let days following no advertisements be Population 1 and let days following advertising be Population 2.

Step 1 of 3:
State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below.
H0: μ1 = μ2
Ha: μ1 < μ2

Step 2:
What is the test statistic?

Step 3:
Do we reject the null hypothesis? Is there sufficient or insufficient data?

A study found that the mean amount of time cars spent in drive-throughs of a certain fast-food restaurant was 130.9 seconds. Assuming drive-through times are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 32 seconds, complete parts (a) through (d) below.

Determine whether the variable is qualitative or quantitative.
Distance in miles to nearest school

(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected car will get through the restaurant's drive-through in less than 87 seconds?
The probability that a randomly selected car will get through the restaurant's drive-through in less than 87 seconds is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(b) What is the probability that a randomly selected car will spend more than 186 seconds in the restaurant's drive-through? The probability that a randomly selected car will spend more than 186 seconds in the restaurant's drive-through is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(c) What proportion of cars spend between 2 and 3 minutes in the restaurant's drive-through?
The proportion of cars that spend between 2 and 3 minutes in the restaurant's drive-through is - - - - - (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(d) Would it be unusual for a car to spend more than 3 minutes in the restaurant's drive-through? Why?
The probability that a car spends more than 3 minutes in the restaurant's drive-through is - - - - - - , so it (1)_____ be unusual, since the probability is (2)_____ than 0.05. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(1) would / WOULD NOT (2) greater / less

A training program was created in order to improve performance in a sit-and-reach exercise done in fitness. The creators claim that those who enroll in the program will find their distance increased. A random sample of 12 people enrolled in the training was selected. A measure of each person's distance was recorded before the start of and just after completion of the program. The data are shown in the table below.

Winning team data were collected for teams in different sports, with the results given in the table below. Use the TI-83/84 Plus at a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that home/visitor wins are independent of the sport. The null hypothesis is that home/visitor wins are independent of the sport. It appears that the home-field advantage does depend on the sport.
