
Write down the fitted model.
Is the assumed model reliable? Why?
What is the value of R2? the adjusted R2? To select a model,
why do we prefer adj-R2 to R2?
Predict the amount of money withdrawn from a neighborhood
in which the median value of homes is $200,000 for an ATM
that is located in a shopping center.
If the median value of homes increases by $2,000, then the
amount of money withdrawn from an ATM located in a
shopping center is expected to increase by
.
If the median value of homes is $200,000, then the amount of
money withdrawn from an ATM located in a shopping center is
???; and the amount of money withdrawn from an ATM located
outside a shopping center is ???. What is the difference?

shows that 9 intend to concentrate in
Finance. Give a 99% confidence interval for
the proportion of students in the population
that intend to concentrate in Finance.

Example 2
 A marketing manager for a start-up firm in
Michigan wishes to discover the proportion of
teenagers in Japan who own an iPod. If the
manager wants a confidence interval of width
0.1, how many teenagers must be sampled?
Use a conservative estimate of p. Assume
that the confidence level is to be 95%.

Hypothesis Testing
4 out of 5 dentists recommend Oral-B.
Scenario 1: “Hmm, I thought it was higher.”
Scenario 2: “No, it cannot be. It should be lower.”
Scenario 3: “Really? I don’t think so.”

Example 3
 Three politicians are attempting to win the
Democratic nomination for senator.
 The result of a survey of 1000 Democrats is
summarized below.
 Do we have enough evidence to indicate that
Candidate A will receive more than 50% of the vote?
Assume  = 5%. (use the rejection region and the pvalue approaches.)
Candidate A
550
Candidate B
300
Candidate C
150

Example 4
 In recent years over 70% of first-year college
students responding to a national survey have
identified “being well-off financially” as an important
personal goal. A state university finds that 153 of a
random sample of 200 of its first-year students say
that this goal is important.
 Do we have evidence to support that more than 70%
of first-year students would identify being well-off as
an important personal goal? (use the rejection region
and the p-value approaches.) Assume  = 5%.
17
Example 5
 A financial analyst wanted to determine the
mean annual return on mutual funds. In a
random sample of 15 returns she found a
sample mean of 12.9% with a (sample)
standard deviation 3%.
 Is there evidence to claim that the mean
annual return on mutual funds is greater than
12%? Assume  = 5%.

Example 3. H0: p = 0.50 vs. Ha: p > 0.50. Given  = 5%, the rejection region is:
550
 0.55 and the z statistic
Reject H0 if z > 1.645. The sample proportion pˆ 
1000
0.55  0.5
z
 3.16 is in the rejection region. Hence, reject H0. The p-value =
0.5  0.5
1000
P( z > 3.16 ) = 1 – 0.9992 = 0.0008 < . Again, reject H0.

Example 4. H0: p = 0.70 vs. Ha: p > 0.70. Given  = 5%, the rejection region is:
153
 0.765 and the z statistic
Reject H0 if z > 1.645. The sample proportion pˆ 
200
0.765  0.7
z
 2.00 is in the rejection region. Hence, reject H0. The p-value =
0.7  0.3
200
P( z > 2.00 ) = 1 – 0.9772 = 0.0228 < . Again, reject H0.
Example 5. H0:  = 0.12 vs. Ha:  > 0.12. Given a small sample with unknown
population standard deviation, we use the T table (Table D) to set up the rejection
region. With  = 5% and degrees of freedom n – 1 = 14, the rejection region is:
0.129  0.12
Reject H0 if t > 1.761. The t statistic t 
 1.16 is outside the
0.03 / 15
rejection region and thus, we fail to reject H0. By using Table D, we found that
we would have rejected H0 if  = 15% but would not if  = 10% or less. This
implies that the p-value of the test is between 10% and 15%.
