QUESTION 2

QUESTION 4

Using the Poisson PMF, when the mean is 6, what is P(X=9)?

QUESTION 5

Suppose you have a product which you sell in two markets of comparable size and you want to test the hypothesis that the demand for the product is the same in the two markets. In practice you test that the quantity demanded is the same and find that for sample of 17 different time periods with different prices the average quantity demanded in the first market is 1765 and in the second market it is 1688. The standard deviation of the differences is 60.5. True or False: we reject the null hypothesis of equal means for quantity demanded at the .05 level of significance.

True

False

0.6 points

QUESTION 10

A 2009 sample of New York hotel room prices had an average of 273. Assume this was from a sample of 48 hotels with a sample standard deviation of $72. Construct a 99% confidence interval and report the lower bound for the interval. (Answer to one decimalplace and do not include a $ sign).

QUESTION 11

For a sample of 54 discount brokers the average price of a $5,000 trade was $33.77. Past surveys of this kind show a standard

deviation of $15 so we assume that is the known population standard deviation. Construct a 90% confidence interval and enter the lower bound for the interval. (Answer to one decimal place and do not include a $ sign).

QUESTION 12

You are going to test a hypothesis concerning the difference between two population means. One of the steps to do this is to find the standard error. Suppose you have two samples with 50 observations each and standard deviations of 73.1 and 66.6. What is the standard error? Answer to two decimal places.

QUESTION 13

You are going to test a hypothesis concerning the difference between two population means. One of the steps to do this is to

find the standard error. Suppose you have two samples with 40 observations each and standard deviations of 74.3 and 106.5. What is the standard error? Answer to two decimal places.0.5 points

QUESTION 14

Suppose there are 3 numerator degrees of freedom and 15 denominator degrees of freedom. What is the critical F value for a . 05 level of significance test? Answer to two decimal places.

QUESTION 15

Suppose there are 4 treatments and each one has 6 observations. You are using the data to conduct ANOVA. What is the critical F value for a .05 level of significance test? Answer to two decimal places.

QUESTION 16

The distribution of a random variable X and the distribution of the sample average of X are the same.

True

False

QUESTION 17

A joint probability table contains both joint and marginal probabilities and can be used to calculate conditional probabilities.

True
