1.a. By FPDA, mu(y)=ybar=350; sigma(y)=s(y)=100 1.b. z=(365-350/100=0.15. Required area is 50-(11.92/2)=44.04%. 1.c. z=(250-350)/100=-1. Percentile rank is 50-(68.27/2)=15.87 percentile. 1.d. n=26 and since y is normally distributed then ybar is Student t with 25df. Also, s(ybar)=100/sqrt(25)=20 hence the 95% CI is: ybar plus/minus t(25,2.5)*s(ybar) 350 plus/minus 2.06*20 [308.8, 391.2] I am 95% confident that mu(y) is between 308.8 and 391.2 days. 2.a. H0: mu(y)=$62,500; Ha: mu(y)<$62,500 2.b. First, ybar=$60,000 is consistent. Assume H0 true and since n is large determine the z value. s(ybar)=10000/sqrt(100)=1000 hence z=(60000-62500)/1000=-2.5. The p-value is 0.62% (or 0.0062 expressed as a probability) which is highly significant and so we reject the null hypothesis. 2.c.i. b=0.8(10000/5)=1600; a=60000-1600*20=28000. Hence the regression line equation is: income=28000 + 1600(yrs_of_tenure) 2.c.ii. For unit increase in yrs_of_tenure we can expect income to increase by $1600. The intercept indicates that a tenured faculty member with zero yrs_of_tenure can expect, on average, to earn $28,000 which may be reasonable. 3.a. Since r=0.9891 is positive then as document size increases, processing time also increases. Furthermore r^2=0.9783 hence 97.83% of the variability in processing time is accounted for by considering document size. 3.b Since r=0.9891, the slope is 0.9891(s(y)/s(x))=0.9891(24.95/66.33) =0.372 (rounded) and the intercept is ybar-0.372(xbar)=103-0.372(148) =47.937. Hence regression equation is: time=47.937+0.372(size) 3.c For unit increase in size we can expect time to increase by 0.372 time units. For a document of size zero units we can expect a processing time of 47.937 time units which may make sense since we would expect some overhead in processing an empty document. 4.a. H0: mu(y)=$2.10; Ha: mu(y)<$2.10 4.b. First, ybar=$2.04 is consistent. Assume H0 true and since n is large determine the z value. s(ybar)=0.30/sqrt(36)=0.05 hence z=(2.04-2.10)/0.05=-1.2. The p-value is 11.505% (or 0.11505 expressed as a probability) which is non-significant and so we have insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. The directors claim is therefore reasonable. 4.c. Since the null hypothesis was not rejected then the null hypothesis mu=$2.10 is reasonable. Some other point estimate for the population mean would therefore be inappropriate.
