Chapter 10: Q. 41 (page 598)

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. Two metal alloys are being considered as material for ball bearings. The mean melting point of the two alloys is to be compared. 15 pieces of each metal are being tested. Both populations have normal distributions. The following table is the result. It is believed that Alloy Zeta has a different melting point.

A traveler wanted to know if the prices of hotels are different in the ten cities that he visits the most often. The list of the cities with the corresponding hotel prices for his two favorite hotel chains is in Table 10.33. Test at the1% level of significance.

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. Two metal alloys are being considered as material for ball bearings. The mean melting point of the two alloys is to be compared. 15 pieces of each metal are being tested. Both populations have normal distributions. The following table is the result. It is believed that Alloy Zeta has a different melting point.

Is this a right-, left-, or two-tailed test?

94. Parents of teenage boys often complain that auto insurance costs more, on average, for teenage boys than for teenage girls. A group of concerned parents examines a random sample of insurance bills. The mean annual cost for 36 teenage boys was \(679. For 23 teenage girls, it was \)559. From past years, it is known that the population standard deviation for each group is $180. Determine whether or not you believe that the mean cost for auto insurance for teenage boys is greater than that for teenage girls.

Marketing companies have collected data implying that teenage girls use more ring tones on their cellular phones than

teenage boys do. In one particular study of 40 randomly chosen teenage girls and boys (20 of each) with cellular phones,

the mean number of ring tones for the girls was 3.2 with a standard deviation of 1.5. The mean for the boys was 1.7 with

a standard deviation of 0.8. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the means are approximately the same or if the girls鈥�

mean is higher than the boys鈥� mean.

Weighted alpha is a measure of risk-adjusted performance of stocks over a period of a year. A high positive weighted alpha signifies a stock whose price has risen while a small positive weighted alpha indicates an unchanged stock price during the time period. Weighted alpha is used to identify companies with strong upward or downward trends. The weighted alpha for the top 30 stocks of banks in the northeast and in the west as identified by Nasdaq on May 24,2013 are listed in Table 10.6 and Table10.7, respectively

Is there a difference in the weighted alpha of the top 30 stocks of banks in the northeast and in the west? Test at a 5% significance level. Answer the following questions:

a. Is this a test of two means or two proportions?

b. Are the population standard deviations known or unknown?

c. Which distribution do you use to perform the test?

d. What is the random variable?

e. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Write the null and alternative hypotheses in words and in symbols.

f. Is this test right, left, or two tailed?

g. What is the p-value?

h. Do you reject or not reject the null hypothesis?

i. At the ___ level of significance, from the sample data, there ______ (is/is not) sufficient evidence to conclude that ______.

j. Calculate Cohen鈥檚 d and interpret it
