Document Summary

Today we"ll spend most of the class working on some examples in basic probability. We"ll also cover a little bit of r as well at the end. Here are our problems and activities for today: turn in your homework and check in with me, this is a class activity. Suppose the class consists of employees in a department store, and some employees are stealing. There will be two managers appointed, and their job is to determine the thieves. The managers will be given the use of a lie-detector test, but it is only correct 80% of the time. So, if an employee is stealing, then they are identi ed as a thief 80% of the time. If they are not stealing, then they are identi ed as such 80% of the time. One is labeled from 0 to 9; the other is labeled from 00 to 90. For what follows, scale the second die to 0 to 9.

Problem 1 (2 points). Every month a clothing store conducts an inventory and calculates the losses due to theft. The store would like to reduce these losses and is considering two methods to do so: the first is to hire a security guard and the second is to install cameras. The manager of the store has conducted the experiment: During the first 6 months he hired a security guard (method 1) and during the next 6 months he installed cameras (method 2). The monthly losses were reported as follows:

Security guard 350 289 407 398 470 259 Cameras 488 301 276 380 421 425

a/ Test with a=0.05 to determine whether there is enough evidence to conclude that expected monthly loss when installing cameras differs from 382. b/Since the cameras are cheaper than the guard, the manager would prefer to install the cameras unless there was enough evidence to infer that the guard was better. Conduct a hypothesis testing to advise what the manager should do? (Assuming equal variances and using a= 0.05)

Problem 2 (2 points). A supermarket chain performed a survey to help determine desirable locations for its new stores. The management of the chain wanted to know whether a linear relationship exists between weekly take home pay (s) and weekly food expenditures (y). A random sample of eight households produced the data shown in the following table Household 1 3 7 8 2 4 5 6 550 450 560 340 510 710 470 660

170 100 160 80 120 190 140 140 Y

a/ Find the least square regression line.

b/Perform the test Ho: Bi=0, H4: B10 (using a = 0.05) to determine whether there is enough evidence to infer that a linear relationship exists between weekly take home pay (s) and weekly food expenditures (y).

I need help conducting a z-test for my assignment. The question states, "You want to determine if Canadians are nicer (less rude) than Americans. Americans 'niceness' score is µ=2.4 with a standard deviation of 1.6. You get a sample of n=36 Canadians to complete the same niceness questionnaire. You calculate descriptive statistics for your sample as M=2.9 and s=1.9. As this is exploratory research, use an alpha of .10. Conduct a z-test on the information above. Make sure to note: 1.) the formula, 2.) the null and alternative hypothesis, 3.) the critical value, 4.) calculate the result (show calculation in case of error), 5.) What is the statistical decision, 6.) What does this mean in plain english?"

Thanks for the help!
