He thinks that he’ll be able to make a profit if the mean income of a villager on his island is greater than 80,000 dollars. He gets a simple random sample of 70 villagers and finds the mean income of the sample is 81,500 dollars with a standard deviation of 9,000 dollars. Run a test to determine whether Tom should open the store. Be sure to: a) state hypotheses (1 point) b) calculate a test statistic (2 points) Note: Keep all decimals in your computation and round the final answer to two decimals (-i.e 3.67).     c) calculate p-value. Report four decimals (-i.e 0.6734). (1 point) d) state your conclusions using a 5% significance level and interpret in context (2 points).

The following graph represents the probability histogram for the number of heads in 100 tosses of a fair coin. (i.e., a box model with one ticket labeled 1 = head, and one ticket labeled 0 = tail, and we take the sum of 100 draws with replacement from the box).   Assume that in one realization of this statistical experiment, the draws come out as: 52 1’s and 48 0’s.   For each number below, find the phrase which describes it:   

A fair die labeled 1-6 will be rolled some number of times (you can choose 100 or 1,000 rolls). You win $1 if the die shows an “odd” number between 10% and 25% of the time. Which number of rolls (100 or 1,000) should you choose?
