 a. Provide the hypotheses for this test.
  b. Compute the mean T.
  c. Compute the standard deviation T.
  d. The sum of the ranks for branch A was determined to be 184.5 . Compute the test statistic Z.
  e. Use  = 0.05 and test to determine if there is a significant difference in the populations of the sales of the two branches.

Question 2

In a sample of 200 racquetball players, 120 indicated they prefer Penn racquetballs, 75 favored Ektelon, and 5 were indifferent. We want to use the sign test to determine if there is evidence of a significant difference in the preferences for the two types of racquetballs.
 a. Provide the hypotheses to be tested.
  b. Compute the mean.
  c. Compute the standard deviation.

a. Ho: The two populations are identical.
Ha: The two populations are not identical.
b. 150
c. 17.32
d. 1.99
e. p-value <  = 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected (actual p-value using Excel =0.046).

Answer to Question 2

a. Ho: P = 0.5
Ha: P  0.5
b. 97.5
c. 6.982
d.. Test Statistic Z = 3.22; p-value < 0.05, therefore reject Ho (p-value, using Excel = 0.00127)

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
