A study reported that the recent turnover rate (the percent of employees who are replaced) for a particular type of industry in the United States was 50%. A local company in this industry is concerned about high turnover. Suppose that a random sample of 100 employees in this company showed that 59 left for other employment recently. The company wants to determine if the turnover rate of the population of employees at this local company is higher than the industry...
The producer of a weight-loss pill advertises that people who use the pill lose, after one week, an average (mean) of 1.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.05 pounds. In a recent study, a group of 60 people who used this pill were interviewed. The study revealed that these people lost a mean of 1.83 pounds after one week. If the producer's claim is correct, what is the probability that the mean weight loss after one week on this...

A hospital reported that the normal death rate for patients with extensive burns (more than 40% of skin area) has been significantly reduced by the use of new fluid plasma compresses. Before the new treatment, the mortality rate for extensive burn patients was about 60%. Using the new compresses, the hospital found that only 41 of 88 patients with extensive burns died. Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the mortality rate has dropped a) What...
A government-sponsored organization that was established in 1938 after the Depression to provide local banks with money from the federal government to be used for residential mortgages in an effort to increase homeownership rates. As lending standards have tightened during the most recent housing market crisis, credit scores for borrowers of approved mortgages have increased.

A recent study at a local college claimed that the proportion, p, of students who commute more than fifteen miles to school is no more than 15%. If a random sample of 275 students at this college is selected, and it is found that 55 commute more than fifteen miles to school, can we reject the college's claim at the 0.1 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below Carry your intermediate computations to at...
