55. We sometimes hear that marriage is good for your career. A sample of 8235 managers and professionals employed by a specific large manufacturing firm were asked their marital status (married, single, widowed, or divorced) and their annual income. The mean annual income was then calculated for each of the four marital status groups. What is the population?
- AAll managers and professionals employed by this manufacturing firm.
- BThe mean annual income for all managers and professionals employed by this manufacturing firm.
- CThe 8235 managers and professionals who were interviewed.
- DAll married managers and professionals from this large manufacturing firm.
6Referring to the study in question 5, what is the sample?
- AAll managers and professionals employed by this manufacturing firm.
- BThe mean annual income for all managers and professionals employed by this manufacturing firm.
- CThe 8235 managers and professionals from this large manufacturing firm.
- DAll married managers and professionals employed by this manufacturing firm.
7What is the first step in the Big Picture of Statistics?
- AExploratory Data Analysis
- BProducing Data
- CInference
- DProbability
8True or False: Inference is the way that we are allowed to draw conclusions about the population based on the data collected about the sample.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch

What type of variable is the explanatory variable?
- ACategorical

11The following scenario applies to questions 1-3:
A large utility company wants to explore whether they can predict electrical consumption for their residential customers using size of their residence. The manager of the company predicted the electrical consumption for a 2200 square foot residence to be ŷ= 74.4 kilowatts.
Suppose the 95% confidence interval for the mean electrical consumption is (68.7, 80.1). Which of the following is a correct interpretation of this confidence interval?- AWe are 95% confident that the mean electrical consumption of all 2200 square foot residences is between 68.7 kilowatts and 80.1 kilowatts.
- BWe are 95% confident that the electrical consumption of a 2200 square foot residence is between 68.7 kilowatts and 80.1 kilowatts.
- C95% of all 2200 square foot residences have an electrical consumption between 68.7 kilowatts and 80.1 kilowatts.
- DThere is a probability of 0.95 that the mean electrical consumption of all 2200 square foot residences is between 68.7 kilowatts and 80.1 kilowatts.
12Suppose the 95% prediction interval for an individual residence’s electrical consumption is (67.3 , 81.5). Which of the following is a correct interpretation of this prediction interval?
- AWe are 95% confident that the mean electrical consumption of all 2200 square foot residences is between 67.3 kilowatts and 81.5 kilowatts.
- BWe are 95% confident that the electrical consumption of a 2200 square foot residence is between 67.3 kilowatts and 81.5 kilowatts.
- C95% of all 2200 square foot residences have an electrical consumption between 67.3 kilowatts and 81.5 kilowatts.
- DThere is a probability of 0.95 that the mean electrical consumption of all 2200 square foot residences is between 67.3 kilowatts and 81.5 kilowatts.
13When predicting electrical consumption for 2200 square foot residences, one of the following intervals is the 95% confidence interval for the mean electrical consumption; the other is the 95% prediction interval for an individual residence’s electrical consumption. Which is the 95% confidence interval for the mean?
- A(71.5 kilowatts, 77.3 kilowatts)
- B(63.1 kilowatts, 85.7 kilowatts)
14Suppose a 95% confidence interval for the mean tail length of all giant pandas who weigh 110 kilograms is (12.32 cm, 13.88 cm). Which of the following could be the corresponding 95% prediction interval for the tail length of an individual giant panda who weighs 110 kilograms? (Hint: ŷ = 13.1)
- A(11.16 cm, 14.48 cm)
- B(12.57 cm, 13.63 cm)
- C(11.54 cm, 13.10 cm)
- D(11.94 cm, 14.26 cm)
15The following scenario applies to questions 5-7:
A consumer testing service tested whether the average baking time of whole wheat bread in gas ovens was less than the average baking time of whole wheat bread in electric ovens. Ten loaves of whole wheat bread were prepared and five were randomly assigned to be baked in the five randomly selected gas ovens and five were randomly assigned to be baked in the five randomly selected electric ovens.
What is the explanatory variable, and is it quantitative or categorical?- AType of bread which is categorical
- BType of bread which is quantitative
- CType of oven (gas versus electric) which is categorical
- DType of oven (gas versus electric) which is quantitative
- EBaking time which is categorical
- FBaking time which is quantitative
