Suppose you have $500 today and the risk-free interest rate ( rf) is 5%. The equivalent value in one year is closest to:

A hotel receptionist checks in an average of 42.85 guests per shift. A sample of 101 different shifts had an average of 45.42 guests with a standard deviation of 8.82.  At α = 0.025, determine whether the true rate is higher than originally thought. What is the df? Report your answer as a whole number.

 A meteorologist wanted to investigate cities with high rainfall. A particular city claims to have an average 104 days of rain. The meteorologist looked at their past 81 years of record and found that the number of rainy days was 97 with a standard deviation of 19.7 days. At

Questions 16 and 17 refer to the same scenario: A study was conducted to determine whether students would benefit from a new method of exam review. The table below shows data of those who passed their next exam. Treat the students who used the Traditional Method as Group 1 and the New Method as Group 2. At α = 0.05, test whether a lower proportion of students using the Traditional Method passed compared with those students using the New Method. Traditional New x1 = 320 x2 = 80 n1 = 500 n2 = 100    

What is the T score that bounds 0.025 area to the right at df = 41? Report your answer to 3 decimal places (and be careful with your signs!)

A sample of 101 different shifts had an average of 45.42 guests with a standard deviation of 8.82.  At α = 0.025, determine whether the true rate is higher than originally thought. What is the critical value? Report your answer to 3 decimal places.  (Be careful with your signs!)

A sample of 101 different shifts had an average of 45.42 guests with a standard deviation of 8.82.  At α = 0.025, determine whether the true rate is higher than originally thought. The test statistic value was computed to be 2.928. What is the best approximate p-value for this test statistic?
