PROBLEMS (For full credit be sure to show your work.)
1.Your company wants to conduct a salary survey for the position of Accounting Assistant II. The estimated salary range is $4,500, the margin of error should be $100 and the desired level of confidence is 95%. What is the optimal sample size for this salary survey?
2. A restaurant that bills its house account monthly is concerned that the average monthly bill exceeds $200 per account. A random sample of twelve accounts is selected, resulting in the sample mean of $220 and a sample standard deviation of $12. The researchers have determined that they should test that the mean bill exceeds $200 at the 5% level of significance.
What is the Null Hypothesis? ___________
What is the Alternate Hypothesis? ____________
How many tail(s) in the test? __________
What test should the researchers use? _________________
Why do they use this test?
What is the critical value? ________________
