cost of its textbooks is $52 with a standard deviation of $4.50. A group of smart statistics students thinks that the average cost is higher. In order to test the bookstore’s claim against their alternative‚ the students will select a random sample of size 100. Assume that the mean from their random sample is $52.80. Perform a hypothesis test (6 step procedure outlined in class) at the 5% level of significance and state your decision. 2. A certain chemical pollutant in the Genesee River has been constant

is a method commonly used in ecology to estimate an animal population’s size. A portion of the population is captured‚ marked‚ and released. Later‚ another portion is captured and the number of marked individuals within the sample is counted. Since the number of marked individuals within the second sample should be proportional to the number of marked individuals in the whole population‚ an estimate of the total population size can be obtained by dividing the number of marked individuals by the proportion

2-cell‚ between-subjects design at 80% power‚ a researcher needs 128 participants (64 per cell). Perhaps the authors assume that the effect sizes in their studies would be massive‚ which could justify having lower sample sizes. However‚ it is striking just how low the sample sizes are. Because groups are the appropriate units of analysis‚ the functional sample size in Study 1 is 14. That is‚ there were 14 groups being tested. With an N of 14‚ drawing conclusions from inferential statistics becomes challenging

The purpose of this memo is to describe the sampling process and illustrate how sampling can be used during an audit. This memo will begin by defining what sampling is‚ when it should be used‚ and the risks associated with it. The memo will then continue to describe the basic steps involved with sampling‚ define terms within those steps‚ and describe the use of sampling in the audit by identifying two situations in which sampling is used in an audit. Sampling is the objective of which is to make

QUESTION 1 The managing partner for Westwood One Investment Managers Inc. gave a public seminar in which she discussed a number of issues‚ including investment risk analysis. In that seminar‚ she reminded people that the coefficient of variation can often be used as a measure of risk of an investment. To demonstrate her point of view‚ she used two hypothetical stocks as examples. She let x equal the change in assets for a $1‚000.00 investment in stock1 and y reflect the change in assets for a
