Assignment # 4 a

The document outlines an assignment focused on statistical analysis for management decisions, involving surveys and sample data to estimate means and proportions with specified confidence levels. It includes tasks related to the average time managers watch TV, the performance of ink-jet printer cartridges, the proportion of workers with multiple jobs, and coffee consumption among university students. Each task requires hypothesis testing and interpretation of findings based on significance levels.

Statistics for Management Decisions


Assignment # 4
1. A survey is conducted using a sample of 400 managers to estimate ...
• The mean time they watch TV with ½ hour allowable error.
• The proportion of them who watch talk-show programs with allowable margin of error of
0.05 of the population proportion.
If a previous study indicated that the standard deviation of the time is 3 hours.
a. Does this sample is appropriate to estimate both the mean and proportion at 95% level of
confidence?
b. If the sample mean time per week was 12 hours. Determine the 95% C.I. of the population
mean time.
c. If 312 of the surveyed managers mentioned that they watch talk-show programs. Determine
the 95% C.I. for the population proportion.
d. Interpret your findings.

2. The manufacturer of a new line of ink-jet printers would like to include as part of its advertising
the number of pages a user can expect from a print cartridge. A sample of 10 cartridges revealed
the following number of pages printed.
2698 2028 2474 2395 2372 2475 1927 3006 2334 2379
a. Based on this sample date, could this manufacturer claim that the cartridge can print more
than 2700 pages on average? Use 0.05 significance level.
b. Interpret your findings.

3. A survey is conducted using a sample of 500 workers to investigate the proportion of the
workforce that has two or more jobs. If 420 of the surveyed workers mentioned that they have
two or more jobs.
a. Using 0.02 significance level, test whether less than 80% of workers has two or more
jobs.
b. Interpret your findings.

4. According to the Coffee Research Organization, the national consumption of coffee follows a
normal distribution with an average of 3.1 cups per day and a standard deviation of 0.6 cups.
A sample of 64 university students revealed the sample average consumption is 3.2 cups per
day.
a. At the 0.03 significance level, does this sample data suggest there is a difference between
the average consumption of university students and the national average?
b. Explain your answer.
