Question 1 of 17
Two teams of workers assemble automobile engines at a manufacturing plant in Michigan. A random
sample of 145 assemblies from team 1 shows 15 unacceptable assemblies. A similar random sample of
125 assemblies from team 2 shows 8 unacceptable assemblies.
Is there sufficient evidence to conclude, at the 10% significance level, that the two teams differ with
respect to their proportions of unacceptable assemblies?
A.Yes, since the p-value is greater than 0.10
B.No, since the test value exceeds the critical value
C.No, since the test value does not exceed the critical value
D.No, since the p-value is less than 0.10

Question 3 of 17
Some defendants in criminal proceedings plead guilty and are sentenced without a trial, whereas others who
plead innocent are subsequently found guilty and then are sentenced. In recent years, legal scholars
have speculated as to whether sentences of those who plead guilty differ in severity from sentences for
those who plead innocent and are subsequently judged guilty. Consider the data given below on
defendants accused of robbery, all of whom, by the way, had previous prison records. At the .01 level of
significance, do these data suggest that the proportion of all defendants in these circumstances who
plead guilty and are sent to prison differs from the proportion who are sent to prison after pleading

innocent and being found guilty?

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
