1) The mean age of 30 randomly selected Republican Senators was 61 years 247 days old (61.675 years) with a standard deviation of 10.17 years.

1) The mean age of 30 randomly selected Republican Senators was 61 years 247 days old (61.675 years) with a standard deviation of 10.17 years. The mean age of 30 randomly selected Democratic senators was 61 years 257 days old (61.704 years) with a standard deviation of 9.55 years. (Hint: older means greater than)

Do the data indicate that Democratic senators are older than Republican senators, on average? Test at a 5% level of significance

5) A study is done to determine if students in the California state university (CSU) system take longer to graduate, on average, than students enrolled in private universities using the significant level of 5%. One hundred students from both the California state university system and private universities are surveyed. Suppose that from years of research, it is known that the population standard deviations are 1.5811 years for CSU and 1 year for private universities. The following data are collected. The California state university system students took on average 4.5 years with a standard deviation of 0.8. The private university students took on average 4.1 years with a standard deviation of 0.3.

b) Reject the null hypothesis if computed test statistic is less than the critical value

c) Reject the null hypothesis if computed test statistic is equal to the critical value

d) Do not reject the null hypothesis

7) The City of South Lake Tahoe, CA, has an Asian population of 1,419 people, out of a total population of 23,609. Suppose that a survey of 1,419 self-reported Asians in the Manhattan, NY, area yielded the data in Table 11.33. Conduct a goodness-of-fit test to determine if the self-reported sub-groups of Asians in the Manhattan area fit that of the Lake Tahoe area. Use 0.05 significant level.
