A real estate agency says that the mean home sales price in Olathe, Kansas, is greater than in Rolla, Missouri. The mean home sales price for 39 homes in Olathe is \$392,453. Assume the population standard deviation is \$224,902. The mean home sales price for 38 homes in Rolla is \$285,787. Assume the population standard deviation is \$330,578. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to support the agency’s claim? (Adapted from Realtor.com)

Variation of Hospital Times Use the sample data given in Exercise 7 “Seat Belts” and test the claim that for children hospitalized after motor vehicle crashes, the numbers of days in intensive care units for those wearing seat belts and for those not wearing seat belts have the same variation. Use a 0.05 significance level.

In Exercises 17 and 18, (a) identify the claim and state Ho and Ha, Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed.

A real estate agent claims that there is no difference between the mean household incomes of two neighborhoods. The mean income of 12 randomly selected households from the first neighborhood is \$52,750 with a standard deviation of \$2900. In the second neighborhood, 10 randomly selected households have a mean income of \$51,200 with a standard deviation of \$2225. At α=0.01, can you reject the real estate agent’s claim? Assume the population variances are equal.
