VIDEOS 4) James Desreumaux, VP of Human Resources of American First Banks (AFB), is reviewing the 1 point
employee training programs of AFB banks. His staff randomly selected personnel files for 10 tellers in the
Southwest Region, and determined that their mean training time was 25 hours and that the standard
deviation was 5 hours. The 95% confidence interval for the population variance of training times is
________.

11.83 to 83.33

2.37 to 16.67

2.66 to 13.51

13.30 to 67.57

No, the answer is incorrect.

Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
11.83 to 83.33

5) In performing a hypothesis test where the null hypothesis is that the population mean is 6.9 1 point
against the alternative hypothesis that the population mean is not equal to 6.9, a random sample of 16 items
is selected. The sample mean is 7.1 and the sample standard deviation is 2.4. It can be assumed that the
population is normally distributed. The level of significance is selected as 0.05. The decision rule for this
problem is to reject the null hypothesis if the computed "t" value is _______.

less than -2.131 or greater than 2.131

less than -1.761 or greater than 1.761

less than -1.753 or greater than 1.753

less than -2.120 or greater than 2.120

No, the answer is incorrect.

Accepted Answers:
less than -2.131 or greater than 2.131

6) David Desreumaux, VP of Human Resources of American First Banks (AFB), is reviewing the 1 point
employee training programs of AFB banks. Based on a recent census of personnel, David knows that the
variance of teller training time in the Southeast region is 8, and he wonders if the variance in the Southwest
region is the same number. His staff randomly selected personnel files for 15 tellers in the Southwest
Region, and determined that their mean training time was 25 hours and that the standard deviation was 4
hours. Using α = 0.10, the critical values of chi-square are ________.

7.96 and 26.30

6.57 and 23.68

-1.96 and 1.96

-1.645 and 1.645

7) Eugene Gates, Marketing Director of Mansfield Motors Manufacturers, Inc.’s Electrical Division, 1 point
is leading a study to assess the relative importance of product features. An item on a survey questionnaire
distributed to 121 of Mansfield’s customers asked them to rate the importance of “ease of maintenance” on a
scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 meaning “not important” and 10 meaning “highly important”). His staff assembled the
following statistics:

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean rating of “ease of maintenance” is ________.

5.34 to 9.66

7.34 to 7.66

5.69 to 9.31

7.30 to 7.70

No, the answer is incorrect.
