4Which of the following assumptions is not required to use ANOVA?

 

The populations from which the samples are drawn have the same variance.

All samples are of the same size.

 

The populations from which the samples are drawn are (approximately) normally distributed.

7A sample of 16 from a population produced a mean of 86.9 and a standard deviation of 14.3. A sample of 18 from another population produced a mean of 75.4 and a standard deviation of 15.9. Assume that the two populations are normally distributed and the standard deviations of the two populations are equal. The null hypothesis is that the two population means are equal, while the alternative hypothesis is that the mean of the first population is greater than the man of the second population. The significance level is 1%.

What is the critical value of t for the hypothesis test?

8Two events are independent if the occurrence of one event:

 

means that the second event cannot occur.

 

does not affect the probability of the occurrence of the other event.

 

affects the probability of the occurrence of the other event.

 

means that the second event is certain to occur.

 

9You toss a coin nine times and observe 3 heads and 6 tails. This event is a:

 

simple event

 

multinomial sample point

 

multiple outcome

 

compound event

 

10The p-value is the:

 

smallest significance level at which the null hypothesis can be rejected

 

largest significance level at which the alternative hypothesis can be rejected

 

smallest significance level at which the null hypothesis cannot be rejected

 

largest significance level at which the null hypothesis can be rejected

 

11 A researcher wants to test if the mean annual salary of all lawyers in a city is different than $110,000. The null hypothesis for this example will be that the population mean is:

 

not equal to $110,000

 

greater than to $110,000

 

less than to $110,000

 

equal to $110,000

 

12 To make tests of hypotheses about more than two population means, we use the:

 

analysis of variance distribution

 

chi-square distribution

 

t distribution

 

normal distribution

 

 

13 In a game of four-handed Hearts, all 52 cards of a standard deck are dealt, so that each player starts each round with 13 cards in a hand. Suppose player A's hand has three clubs, six diamonds, two hearts, and two spades. What is the relative frequency of spades, rounded to two decimal places, dealt to player A?

19  For a one-tailed test, the p-value is:

 

twice the area under the curve between the mean and the observed value of the sample statistic

 

twice the area under the curve to the same side of the value of the sample statistic as is specified in the alternative hypothesis

25  In a survey regarding job satisfaction, 574 in a sample of 934 female job-holders stated that they are satisfied with their jobs, while 500 in a sample of 755 male job-holders stated that they are satisfied with their jobs. The null hypothesis is that the proportions of all female and male job-holders who are satisfied with their jobs are the same. The alternative hypothesis is that the proportion of female job-holders who are satisfied with their jobs is lower than the proportion of male job-holders stated who are satisfied with their jobs. The significance level is 2.5%.
