Document Summary

1. (20 marks) (a) the wage elasticity of labor demand (5 marks). (b) 90% of variation of the data is explained by the regression model (5 marks). (c) note that sst = n (cid:100)var(lnli) = 100 (5 marks). Because sse = (1 r2)sst , sse = 10 (5 marks): (40 marks) (a) the null hypothesis is h0 : 2 = 0 (3 marks). The alternative hypothesis is h1 : 2 (cid:54)= 0 (3 marks). The test statistic is (1. 35 0)/0. 21 = 6. 42 (4 marks). Hence, we reject h0 and accept h1 (2 marks). (b) the null hypothesis is h0 : 2 = 0 (3 marks). Note that the test statistic remains the same as (a) (3 marks). The test statistic is greater than the larger critical value. Hence, we reject h0 and accept h1 (2 marks). (c) the test statistic is (8. 98 0)/3. 87 = 2. 32 (5 marks). Given the sample size, this test statistic follows the standard normal distribution.

2	You are reading a report that contains a hypothesis test you are interested in. The writer of the report writes that the p-value for the test you are interested in is 0.0749, but does not tell you the value of the test statistic. From this information you can:


a	Not reject the hypothesis at a Probability of Type I error = .05, but reject the hypothesis at a Probability of Type I error = 0.10

b	Reject the hypothesis at a Probability of Type I error = .05, and reject at a Probability of Type I error = 0.10

c	Not reject the hypothesis at a Probability of Type I error = 0.05, and not reject at a Probability of Type I error = 0.10

d	Reject the hypothesis at a Probability of Type I error = .05, but not reject at a Probability of Type I error = 0.10

5	In a recent study, a major fast food restaurant had a mean service time of 165 seconds. The company embarks on a quality improvement effort to reduce the service time and has developed improvements to the service process. The new process will be tested in a sample of stores. The new process will be adopted in all of its stores, if it reduced mean service time by more than 45 seconds compared to the current mean service time. To perform the hypothesis test, the sample of 48 stores yields the following data (seconds).





	90	96	133	108	136	110	119	138
	129	98	101	92	135	124	115	90

	138	104	108	134	92	107	96	119
	105	111	96	136	126	116	98	131

	Use ? =	0.05
	\|TS\| = ______	\|CV\| = ______
a	1.548	1.678	Do not reject H?. The mean service time is not reduced by more than 45 seconds. Do not adopt the new process.

b	1.871	1.678	Reject H?. The mean service time is reduced by more than 45 seconds. Adopt the new process.

c	1.871	1.640	Do not reject H?. The mean service time is not reduced by more than 45 seconds. Do not adopt the new process.

d	1.548	1.640	Reject H?. The mean service time is reduced by more than 45 seconds. Adopt the new process.

An advertising agency wants to know if the magazine they advertise in makes a difference in the response to the magazine readers. Each reader was asked to give the advertisement a rank between 0 and 10 (0 for no interest to 10 with high interest). They then survey 10 people that read one of the three different magazines that the company was interested in advertising in. The response of those ten people are:

Sports Illustrated	Home and Garden	In Magazine
5	5	8
4	7	8
7	3	5
8

At a significance level of .05 can we conclude that the mean rank for the advertisement is the same for all three of the magazines?
