    202 – Statistics
    SEAT WORK

    Copy and solve the following problems: (Use long bond papers)

    1. A large retailer wants to determine whether the mean income of families living within 2 miles
    of a proposed building site exceeds $24,400. What can he conclude at the 0.05 level of
    significance, if the mean income of a random sample of n = 60 families living within 2 miles of
    the proposed site is $24,524 and the standard deviation is $ 763?

    2. A trucking firm suspects that the average lifetime of 25,000 claimed for certain tires is too
    high. To test the claim, the firm puts a random sample of 40 of these tires on its trucks and later
    finds that their mean lifetime is 24,421 miles and the standard deviation is 1,349 miles. What
    can it conclude at the 0.01 level of significance?

    3. In a department store’s study designed to test whether or not the mean outstanding balance on
    30-day charge accounts is the same in its two suburban branch stores, random samples yielded
    the following results:
    n1 = 80 mean1 = $64.20 standard deviation1 = $16.00
    n2 = 100 mean2 = $71.41 standard deviation2 = $22.13
    where the subscripts denote branch store 1 and branch store 2. Use the 0.05 level of significance
    to test the null hypothesis.

    4. The following are measurements of the heat-producing capacity (in millions of calories per
    ton) of random samples of five specimens each of coal from two mines. Use the 0.05 level of
    significance to test the difference between the means of these two samples.

    Mine 1: 8,380 8,210 8,360 7,840 7,910


    Mine 2: 7,540 7,720 7,750 8,100 7,690

    5. The production manager of a large manufacturing company estimates that the mean age of his
    employees is 22.8 years. The treasurer of the firm needs a more accurate employee mean age
    figure in order to estimate the cost of an annuity benefit program being considered for
    employees. The treasurer takes a random sample of 70 workers and finds that the mean age of
    the employees sampled is 26.2 years with standard deviation of 4.6 years. At the 0.01 level of
    significance, what can the treasurer conclude about the accuracy of the production manager’s
    estimate?

    6. A gasoline station is open 24 hours a day, operating on three 8-hour shifts with the morning
    shift beginning midnight, followed by a day shift and night shift. The number of gasoline sales
    made on 16 randomly selected shifts is as follows:

    Morning Shift : 31 22 28 30
    Day Shift : 28 39 44 32 36 28 30
    Night Shift : 24 31 22 18 20

    Perform an analysis of variance to test, at the 0.05 level of significance, whether the observed
    differences among the mean number of sales on the three shifts can be attributed to chance.
    7. Following are the numbers of marketable apples harvested from randomly selected tress in
    four sections of a large apple orchard.
    Northeast Section: 79 48 57 82 69 79 78 92
    Southeast Section: 67 75 73 77 52 69 71 82 51
    Northwest Section: 68 75 84 73 81
    Southwest Section: 70 73 68 59 71 49 92 89 91 43

    Use the 0.05 level of significance to test whether the differences among the four-sample means
    can be attributed to chance.
