Week 2 1) Restaurateur Denny Valentine is evaluating two sites, Raymondville and Rosenberg, for his next restaurant. 1 point
Prevailing images of the two suburbs imply that Raymondville residents (population 1) dine out less often than Rosenberg
Week 3 residents (population 2). Denny commissions a market survey to test this hypothesis. The market researcher used a random
sample of 64 families from each suburb, and reported the following: mean of sample1 = 15 times per month, mean of
Week 4 sample2 = 14 times per month, s1 = 2, and s2 = 3. Assuming α = .01, the critical z value is _________________

4) Collinsville Construction Company purchases steel rods for its projects. Based on previous tests, Claude Carter, 1 point
Quality Assurance Manager, has recommended purchasing rods from Redding Rods, Inc. (population 1), rather than
Stockton Steel (population 2), since Redding's rods had less variability in length. Recently, Stockton revised its rod shearing
operation, and Claude has sampled the outputs from Redding's and Stockton's rod manufacturing processes. The results for
Redding were variance1 = 0.15 with n1 = 8, and, for Stockton, the results were variance2 = 0.05 with n2 = 10. Assuming α =
0.04, the appropriate decision is __________________.

reject the null hypothesis

reject the null hypothesis

do not reject the null hypothesis

do not reject the null hypothesis

No, the answer is incorrect.

reject the null hypothesis

5) Pate's Pharmacy, Inc. operates a regional chain of 120 pharmacies. Each pharmacy's floor plan includes a 1 point
greeting card department which is relatively isolated. Sandra Royo, Marketing Manager, feels that the level of lighting in the
greeting card department may affect sales in that department. She chooses three levels of lighting (soft, medium, and bright)
and randomly assigns six pharmacies to each lighting level. Analysis of Sandra's data yielded the following ANOVA table:

Using α = 0.05, the calculated F value is _____________.

6) Cindy Ho, VP of Finance at Discrete Components, Inc. (DCI), theorizes that the discount level offered to credit 1 point
customers affects the average collection period on credit sales. Accordingly, she has designed an experiment to test her
theory using four sales discount rates (0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%) by randomly assigning five customers to each sales discount
rate. An analysis of Cindy's data produced the following ANOVA table:

Using α = 0.01, the appropriate decision is _____________.

reject the null hypothesis mean1 = mean2 = mean3 = mean4

reject the null hypothesis mean1, mean2, mean3 and mean4 are not equal

do not reject the null hypothesis mean1 = mean2 = mean3 = mean4 = mean5

do not reject the null hypothesis mean1, mean2, mean3, mean4 and mean5 are not equal

No, the answer is incorrect.

Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
reject the null hypothesis mean1 = mean2 = mean3 = mean4
