Let Y be a random variable with E(Y) =2 and Var(Y)=2. If Z = 2Y – 3,  E(Z) is [BLANK-1] and Var (Z) is [BLANK-2]:

Consider a simple random sample of 100 items from an infinite population with  resulted in a sample mean of 32.  Historical data show that the population follows normal distribution. A 95% confidence interval is [30.824, 33.176].

The mean hourly wage for employees in goods-producing industries is currently $15 with a standard deviation of $6 per hour. Suppose we want to test whether the mean hourly wage differs from the reported mean. A sample of 400 employees from the manufacturing industry showed a sample mean of $14.4 per hour. The level of significance is 0.05. Based on the critical value or p-value approach, we reject the null hypothesis. Determine whether the conclusion is true of false.
