Serum ferritin is used in diagnosing iron deficiency. In a study conducted recently researchers discovered that in a sample of 28 elderly men the sample standard deviation of serum ferritin was 52.6 mg/L. For 26 younger men the sample standard deviation was 84.2 mg/L. At the .01 level of significance, do these data support the conclusion that the ferritin distribution in elderly men has a smaller variance than in younger men?
A.No, because the test value 1.60 is less than the critical value of 2.54
B.Yes, because the test value 0.390 is less than the critical value 2.54
C.Yes, because the test value 2.56 is greater than the critical value of 2.54

Question 7 of 23

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?
A.No, the p-value associated with this test is 0.0528
B.No, the test value of 1.879 does not exceed the critical value of 2.46
C.Yes, the p-value associated with this test is 0.0264

Are America’s top chief executive officers (CEOs) really worth all that money? One way to answer this question is to look at the annual company percentage increase in revenue versus the CEO’s annual percentage salary increase in that same company. Suppose that a random sample of companies yielded the following data:

percent change for corporation	percent change for CEO
15	6
12	17
3	-4
12	12
28	32
6	-1
8	7
2	2

Do these data indicate that the population mean percentage increase in corporate revenue is greater than the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary? Use a 5% level of significance. What is the test value that you would use to conduct this test of hypothesis? Place your answer, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the blank. For example, 2.345 would be a legitimate entry.

Hoping to find support for their claim, the firm collects a random sample of n = 25 light bulbs and records the lifetime (in hours) of each bulb. The information related to the hypothesis test is presented below.

Test of H0: f$muleq f$ 1500 versus H1: f$mu f$ > 1500
Sample mean 1509.5
Std error of mean 4.854
