Periodically, merrill lynch customers are asked to evaluate merrill lynch financial consultants and services. higher ratings on the client satisfaction survey indicate better service, with 7 the maximum service rating. independent samples of service ratings for two financial consultants are summarized here. consultant a has 10 years of experience, whereas consultant b has 1 year of experience. use α = .05 and test to see whether the consultant with more experience has the higher population mean service rating. consultant a: n = 16, x = 6.82, s = 0.64consultant b: n = 10, x = 6.25, s = 0.75a. state the null and alternative hypotheses. b. compute the value of the test statistic. c. what is the p-value? d. what is your conclusion?

a) Null hypothesis: $\mu_{A} \leq \mu_{B}$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{A} \mu_{B}$

b) $t=\frac{6.82-6.25}{\sqrt{\frac{0.64^2}{16}+\frac{0.75^2}{10}}}}=1.992$

c) $p_v =P(t_{(24)}1.992)=0.0289$

d) If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and the more experience consultant A have a significant higher rate compared to the consultant B with less experience at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$\bar X_{A}=6.82$ represent the mean for the sample of Consultant A

$\bar X_{B}=6.25$ represent the mean for the sample of Consultant B

$s_{A}=0.64$ represent the sample standard deviation for the sample of Consultant A

$s_{B}=0.75$ represent the sample standard deviation for the sample of bonsultant B

$n_{A}=16$ sample size selected for the Consultant A

$n_{B}=10$ sample size selected for the Consultant B

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

Part a: State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean for the Consultant A (more experience) is higher than the mean for the Consultant B, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{A} \leq \mu_{B}$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{A} \mu_{B}$

If we analyze the size for the samples both are less than 30 so for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X_{A}-\bar X_{B}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{A}}{n_{A}}+\frac{s^2_{B}}{n_{B}}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other".

Part b: Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{6.82-6.25}{\sqrt{\frac{0.64^2}{16}+\frac{0.75^2}{10}}}}=1.992$

Part c: P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n_{A}+n_{B}-2=16+10-2=24$

Since is a one side test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(24)}1.992)=0.0289$

Part d: Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and the more experience consultant A have a significant higher rate compared to the consultant B with less experience at 5% of significance.

1. the manager of collins import autos believes the number of cars sold in a day (q) depends on two factors: (1) the number of hours the dealership is open (h) and (2) the number of salespersons working that day (s). after collecting data for two months (53 days), the manager estimates the following log-linear model: q 4 equation 1 a. explain, how to transform the log-linear model into linear form that can be estimated using multiple regression analysis. the computer output for the multiple regression analysis is shown below: q4 table b. how do you interpret coefficients b and c? if the dealership increases the number of salespersons by 20%, what will be the percentage increase in daily sales? c. test the overall model for statistical significance at the 5% significance level. d. what percent of the total variation in daily auto sales is explained by this equation? what could you suggest to increase this percentage? e. test the intercept for statistical significance at the 5% level of significance. if h and s both equal 0, are sales expected to be 0? explain why or why not? f. test the estimated coefficient b for statistical significance. if the dealership decreases its hours of operation by 10%, what is the expected impact on daily sales?
