Question 1 of 17
An investor wants to compare the risks associated with two different stocks. One way to measure the risk of a given stock
is to measure the variation in the stocks daily price changes.
In an effort to test the claim that the variance in the daily stock price changes for stock 1 is different from the variance in
the daily stock price changes for stock 2, the investor obtains a random sample of 21 daily price changes for stock 1 and
21 daily price changes for stock 2.
The summary statistics associated with these samples are: n 1 = 21, s1 = .725, n2 = 21, s2 = .529.
If you compute the test value by placing the larger variance in the numerator, at the .05 level of significance, would you
conclude that the risks associated with these two stocks are different?
A.No, the test value of 1.879 does not exceed the critical value of 2.46
B.No, the p-value associated with this test is 0.0528
C.Yes, the p-value associated with this test is 0.0264

At the .05 level of significance determine if the correlation between rental cost and apartment size is
significant.
A.Yes, there is a statistically significant linear relationship between monthly rental cost and apartment size,
because the p-value for this test is less than .0001.
B.Yes, there is a statistically significant linear relationship between monthly rental cost and apartment size,
because the t-test value, 7.74, is greater than the critical value 1.96.

percent change for corporation

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a very visible group whose main focus is to educate the public about the harm
caused by drunk drivers. A study was recently done that emphasized the problem we all face with drinking and driving.

involved and whether alcohol played a role in the accident. The numbers are shown below:

Question 16 of 20
An ice cream vendor sells three flavors: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Forty five percent of the sales are chocolate,
while 30% are strawberry, with the rest vanilla flavored. Sales are by the cone or the cup. The percentages of cones sales
for chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla, are 75%, 60%, and 40%, respectively. For a randomly selected sale, define the
following events:
= chocolate chosen
= strawberry chosen
= vanilla chosen
= ice cream on a cone
