Maureen McIlvoy, owner and CEO of a mail order business for wind surfing equipment and supplies, is reviewing the order filling operations at her warehouses. Her goal is 100% of orders shipped within 24 hours. In previous years, neither warehouse has achieved the goal, but the East Coast warehouse has consistently outperformed the West Coast warehouse. Her staff randomly selected 200 orders from the West Coast warehouse (population 1) and 400 orders from the East Coast warehouse (population 2), and reports that 190 of the West Coast orders were shipped within 24 hours, and the East Coast warehouse shipped 372 orders within 24 hours. Maureen's null hypothesis is:a) reject the null hypothesis p1 – p2 = 0b) reject the null hypothesis m1minusm2 < 0c) do not reject the null hypothesis m1minusm2 = 0d) do not reject the null hypothesis p1 – p2 = 0e) do not reject the null hypothesis p1 – p2 ?

Ascientist studied a population of workers to determine whether verbal praise and/or tangible rewards affect employee productivity. in the study, some workers were offered verbal praise, some were offered tangible rewards (gift cards, presents, and some were offered neither. the productivity of each participant was measured throughout the study by recording the number of daily tasks completed by each employee. which inference might the scientists make based on the given information? a.) the number of daily tasks completed by each employee may influence the dependent variable, which is whether the employee receives verbal praise, tangible rewards, or neither. b.) verbal praise and/or tangible rewards may influence the independent variable, which is the number of daily tasks completed by each employee. c.) verbal praise and/or tangible rewards may influence the dependent variable, which is the number of daily tasks completed by each employee. d.) the dependent variables, which are verbal praise and tangible rewards, may influence the number of daily tasks completed by each employee.
