The marketing manager of a large supermarket chain would like to use shelf space to predict the
sales of pet food. For a random sample of 12 similar stores, she gathered the following
information regarding the shelf space, in feet, devoted to pet food and the weekly sales in

A.Yes, the sample correlation coefficient is equal to 0.981, which provides evidence of
a significant linear relationship.
B.No, the sample correlation coefficient is equal to 0.981, which does not provide
evidence of a significant linear relationship.
C.No, the sample correlation coefficient is equal to 0.098, which does not provide
evidence of a significant linear relationship.
D.Yes, the sample correlation coefficient is equal to 0.878, which provides evidence of

A field researcher is gathering data on the trunk diameters of mature pine and spruce trees in a
certain area. The following are the results of his random sampling. Can he conclude, at the 0.10
level of significance, that the average trunk diameter of a pine tree is greater than the average
diameter of a spruce tree?

Question 11 of 17
Accepted charactersA company has observed that there is a linear relationship between indirect
labor expense (ILE) , in dollars, and direct labor hours (DLH). Data for direct labor hours and
indirect labor expense for 18 months are given in the file ILE_and_DLH.xlsx
Treating ILE as the response variable, use regression to fit a straight line to all 18 data points. What values for
the intercept (a) and slope (b) do you obtain?
Place your answers, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the blanks provided. Do not use any stray punctuation marks.
For example, 34.567 would be a legitimate entry.
intercept (a) = 52.226
slope(b) = 15.264
Question 12 of 17
Accepted characters: Q-Mart is interested in comparing its male and female customers. Q-Mart
would like to know if the amount of money spent by its female charge customers differs, on
average, from the amount spent by its male charge customers. To answer this question, an
analyst collected random samples of 25 female customers and 22 male customers.
Based on these samples, on average, the 25 women charge customers spent $102.23 and the 22
men charge customers spent $86.46. Moreover, the sample standard deviation of the amount
charged by the 25 women was $93.393, and the sample standard deviation of the amount
charged by the 22 men was $59.695.
Suppose, using a 10% level of significance, you wish to know if there is sufficient evidence for
Q-Mart to conclude that, on average, the amount spent by women charge customers differs from
the amount spent by men charge customers. That is suppose you wish to test
H0:
versus H1:
Assuming that the amounts spent by male and female charge customers at Q-Mart are normally
distributed, based on the procedure advocated by Bluman, what is the test value that you would
use to conduct this test of hypothesis? Place your answer, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the
blank. For example, 0.123 would be a legitimate entry. 0.698
Answer Key: 0.698
Question 13 of 17
Accepted characters:
Are America's top chief executive officers (CEOs) really worth all that money? One way to
answer this question is to look at the annual company percentage increase in revenue versus the
CEO's annual percentage salary increase in that same company. Suppose that a random sample
of companies yielded the following data:
percent change for
15 12 3 12 28 6 8 2
corporation
percent change for CEO
6 17 -4 12 32 -1 7 2
Do these data indicate that the population mean percentage increase in corporate revenue is
greater than the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary? Use a 5% level of
significance. What is the p-value associated with this test of hypothesis? Place your answer,
rounded to 3 decimal places, in the blank. For example, 0.134 would be a legitimate entry.

Question 14 of 17
Accepted characters:
Researchers conducted an experiment to measure the effect of a drug on improving the quality
of sleep as determined by how many more minutes of REM sleep were measured for each
participant. One group of participants were given the experimental drug; the other (control)
group was given a placebo. Does the evidence indicate that the drug improved the amount of
REM sleep at a 0.01 level of significance? Answer each of the following parts.

t test value:
This is a right-tail test with test value t = 2.198423 and df = 34 (using the smaller sample size).
The P-value is 0.0174 using TDIST(2.1983423,34,1) or the Critical Values workbook.
Because the P-value is greater than alpha (0.01), there is not sufficient evidence to show that the
experimental drug improved the quality of sleep.
