American Public University - MATH 302 Stats Quiz 5 Quiz 5 MATH 302 Part 1 of 8 - 3.0/ 3.0 Points Question 1 of 17 1.0/ 1.0 Points An investor wants to compare the risks associated with two ... different stocks. One way to measure the risk of a given stock is to measure the variation in the stock’s daily price changes. In an effort to test the claim that the variance in the daily stock price changes for stock 1 is different from the variance in the daily stock price changes for stock 2, the investor obtains a random sample of 21 daily price changes for stock 1 and 21 daily price changes for stock 2. The summary statistics associated with these samples are: n1 = 21, s1 = .725, n2 = 21, s2 = .529. If you compute the test value by placing the larger variance in the numerator, at the .05 level of significance, would you conclude that the risks associated with these two stocks are different? Question 2 of 17 1.0/ 1.0 Points Multiple myeloma or blood plasma cancer is characterized by increased blood vessel formulation in the bone marrow that is a prognostic factor in survival. One treatment approach used for multiple myeloma is stem cell transplantation with the patient’s own stem cells. The following data represent the bone marrow microvessel density for a sample of 7 patients who had a complete response to a stem cell transplant as measured by blood and urine tests. Two measurements were taken: the first immediately prior to the stem cell transplant, and the second at the time of the complete response. Patient 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Before 158 189 202 353 416 426 441 After 284 214 101 227 290 176 290 Perform an appropriate test of hypothesis to determine if there is evidence, at the .05 level of significance, to support the claim that the mean bone marrow microvessel density is higher before the stem cell transplant than after the stem cell transplant? What is the value of the sample test statistic? Question 3 of 17 1.0/ 1.0 Points Which of the following statements is true regarding the F – distribution?

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? Pine trees Spruce trees Sample size 20 30 Mean trunk diameter (cm) 45 39 Sample variance 100 150 What is the test value for this hypothesis test? Test value: 1.328 Round your answer to three decimal places. What is the critical value? Critical value: 1.300 Round your answer to three decimal places. Answer Key: 1.897, 1.328 Feedback: This is a t-test of independent samples. Use the formula for the t test value on page 480: Using Table F (df = 19, alpha = 0.10, one-tail test) the critical t-value is 1.328. Part 4 of 8 - 2.0/ 2.0 Points Question 10 of 17 1.0/ 1.0 Points Click to see additional instructions The marketing manager of a large supermarket chain would like to determine the effect of shelf space (in feet) on the weekly sales of international food (in hundreds of dollars). A random sample of 12 equal –sized stores is selected, with the following results: Store Shelf Space(X) Weekly Sales(Y) 1 10 2.0 2 10 2.6 3 10 1.8 4 15 2.3 5 15 2.8 6 15 3.0 7 20 2.7 8 20 3.1 9 20 3.2 10 25 3.0 11 25 3.3 12 25 3.5 Find the equation of the regression line for these data. What is the value of the standard error of the estimate? Place your answer, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the blank. Do not use a dollar sign. For example, 0.345 would be a legitimate entry. 0.308 Answer Key: 0.308 Question 11 of 17 1.0/ 1.0 Points Click to see additional instructions The marketing manager of a large supermarket chain would like to determine the effect of shelf space (in feet) on the weekly sales of international food (in hundreds of dollars). A random sample of 12 equal –sized stores is selected, with the following results: Store Shelf Space(X) Weekly Sales(Y) 1 10 2.0 2 10 2.6 3 10 1.8 4 15 2.3 5 15 2.8 6 15 3.0 7 20 2.7 8 20 3.1 9 20 3.2 10 25 3.0 11 25 3.3 12 25 3.5 Using the equation of the regression line for these data, predict the average weekly sales (in hundreds of dollars) of international food for stores with 13 feet of shelf space for international food. Place your answer, rounded to 3 decimal places , in the blank. Do not use a dollar sign. For example, 2.345 would be a legitimate entry. 2.442 Answer Key: 2.442 Part 5 of 8 - 2.0/ 2.0 Points Question 12 of 17 1.0/ 1.0 Points Click to see additional instructions An investor wants to compare the risks associated with two different stocks. One way to measure the risk of a given stock is to measure the variation in the stock’s daily price changes.
