Company A: The mean salary is \( \$ 24,000 \) and the range of salaries is \( \$ 53,000 \). Company B: The mean salary is \( \$ 23,000 \) and the range of salaries is \( \$ 57,000 \). Company C: The mean salary is \( \$ 16,000 \) and the range of salaries is \( \$ 51,000 \). Company D: The mean salary is \( \$ 22,000 \) and the range of salaries is \( \$ 58,000 \).

**(a)** Company D has the most variability. **(b)** Company A has the highest salaries on average.

Solución

**(a)** To determine variability, we compare the range (the difference between the highest and lowest salaries) for each company: - Company A: Range = \( \$53,\!000 \) - Company B: Range = \( \$57,\!000 \) - Company C: Range = \( \$51,\!000 \) - Company D: Range = \( \$58,\!000 \) Since \( \$58,\!000 \) is the largest range, Company D has the most variability. **(b)** To determine which company has the highest salaries on average, we compare the mean salaries: - Company A: Mean = \( \$24,\!000 \) - Company B: Mean = \( \$23,\!000 \) - Company C: Mean = \( \$16,\!000 \) - Company D: Mean = \( \$22,\!000 \) Since \( \$24,\!000 \) is the highest mean, Company A has the highest salaries on average.

Beyond the Answer

The company with the most variability in salaries is determined by the range of salaries. Company D has the widest range of \( \$ 58,000 \), indicating the highest variability among the salaries it offers. So, for question (a), the answer is: Company D. For the highest average salaries, we look at the mean values. Company A leads the pack with a mean salary of \( \$ 24,000 \), which is the highest compared to all other companies. Therefore, for question (b), the answer is: Company A.

Question 12(Mulliple Choice Warth 5 points) \[ (04.06 \mathrm{HC}) \] A researcher wants to test the claim that the proportion of juniors who watch television regularly is greater than the proportion of seniors who watch television regularly She finds that 56 of 70 randomly selected juniors and 47 of 85 randomly selected seniors report watching television regularly. Construct \( 95 \% \) confidence intervals for each population proportion. Which of the statemente gives the correct outcome of the research or's tert of the dalim? The \( 95 \% \) confidence interval for juniors is (706, 894), and the \( 95 \% \) confidence interval for seniors is ( 447,659 ). Since the intervals overlap, there is not enough evidence to say the proportion of juniors who watch television regularly may be higher than that of seniors. The \( 95 \% \) confidence interval for juniors is (721, 879), and the \( 95 \% \) confidence interval for seniors is (464, 642). Since the interval for juniors is higher than the interval for seniors, there is evidence to say the proportion of juniors who watch television regularly may be higher than that of seniors. The \( 95 \% \) confidence interval for juniors is ( 706,894 ), and the \( 95 \% \) confidence interval for seniors is ( 447,659 ). Since the interval for juniors is higher than the interval for seniors, there is evidence to say the proportion of juniors who watch television regularly may be higher than that of seniors. The \( 95 \% \) confidence interval for juniors is ( \( 721, .879 \) ), and the \( 95 \% \) confidence interval for seniors is (464, 642). Since the intervals overlap, there is not enough evidence to say the proportion of juniors who watch television regularly may be higher than that of seniors.

Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) (04.05 MC) In a recent text message survey, 4,000 randomly selected teenagers were asked to cite their favorite Florida college football team. Twenty-wo of 40 teenagers said the Florida Gators are their favorite team. A 99\% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of teenagers who like the Florida Gators is found to be ( \( 0.3474,0.7526 \) ), Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the confidence tevel? Ninety-nine percent of all samples of this size would yield a confidence interval of \( (0.3474,0.7526) \). Ninety-nine percent of all the samples of size 4,000 lie in the confidence interval \( (0.3474,0.7526) \). Ninety-nine percent of the time, the procedure used to generate this interval will capture the true proportion of teenagers who like the Florida Gators. There is a \( 99 \% \) chance that randomly selected teenagers will be part of the \( 55 \% \) who like the Florida Gators.

A hog raiser in a certain province uses two methods of pig-farming: intensive pig farming, where pigs are housed indoors in group-housing or straw-lined sheds; and extensive pig farming, where pigs are allowed to wander around the farm or fence. Test the hypothesis whether or not the mean weight of pigs in intensive farming is better than the extensive farming based from the mean weight of the pigs in the sample with data shown below. Use a one-tailed test at \( \alpha=0.01 \). Intensive farming: \( \bar{X}_{1}=85 \mathrm{~kg}, \mathrm{~s}_{1}{ }^{2}=10 \mathrm{~kg} \), and \( n_{1}=55 \) Extensive farming: \( \bar{X}_{0}=79 \mathrm{~kg}, s_{\eta}{ }^{2}=6 \mathrm{~kg} \), and \( n_{2}=45 \)
