1. A survey conducted last year by my students in Business Studies found out that the average net income for Business graduates is $74,914. One of my current students queried the results and decided to repeat the research by taking a random sample of 112 Business Graduates to determine whether the net income figure is different.
(i) Establish the hypotheses
(ii) Determine the appropriate statistical test and sampling distribution
(iii) Specify type I error or α
(iv) Suppose the 112 Business Graduates who respond produce a sample mean of %78,695 and the standard deviation of net incomes - $14,530. Can the student reject the null hypothesis?
2. In a report prepared by the Economic Research Department of a major bank the Department manager maintains that the average annual family income on Metropolis is $48,432.

3. Suppose we would like to determine if the typical amount spent per customer for coffee at a coffee kiosk is more than $20.00. A sample of 49 customers over a three-week period was randomly selected and the average amount spent was $22.60. Assume that the standard deviation is known to be $2.50. Using a 0.02 level of significance, can we conclude the typical amount spent per customer is more than $20.00?
