1. A manufacturer of running shoes knows that the average particular model of shoes is 15 months. Someone in the research and development division of the shoe company claims to have developed a longer lasting product. This new product was worn by 30 individuals and lasted on average for 17 months. The variability of the original shoe is estimated based on the standard deviation of the new group which is 5.5 months. Is the designer's claim of a better shoe supported by the trial results? Please base your decision on a two tailed testing using a level of significance of p< .05. lifetime for a

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. The Insure.com website reports that the mean annual premium for automobile insurance in the United States was $1,503 in March 2014. Being from Pennsylvania at that time, you believed automobile insurance was cheaper there and decided to develop statistical support for your opinion. A sample of 25 automobile insurance policies from the state Pennsylvania showed a mean annual premium of $1,425 with a standard deviation of s = $160. (a) Develop a hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania is lower than the national mean annual premium.

The Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit score is used by banks and other lenders to determine whether someone is a good credit risk. Scores range from 300 to 850, with a score of 720 or more indicating that a person is a very good credit risk. An economist wants to determine whether the mean FICO score is lower than the cutoff of 720. She finds that a random sample of 60 people had a mean FICO score of 695 with a standard deviation of 65. Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is less than 720? Use the =α0.05 level of significance and the P -value method. State the appropriate null and alternate hyopthesis

Paint used to paint lines on roads must reflect enough light to be clearly visible at night. Researchers have 2 new types of paints they want to test paint type A and paint type B. For each paint type, they tested if there was statistical evidence the average reflectometer reading is greater than 35. To test each type of paint, they used 15 paint samples. Further, suppose the standard deviation is the same for both types of paints. The sample mean for paint type A was 39 and the sample mean for paint type B was 41.5. For both statistical tests, the significance level is set to .05.Which of the following is true? If they fail to reject the null hypothesis for paint type A we can conclude there is statistical evidence the average reflectometer for type A paint is 35. The p-value for the type B paint test is smaller. They rejected the null hypothesis for both paint types. Exactly two of the statements above are true. None are true.

Many people consider their smart phone to be essential! Communication, news, Internet, entertainment, photos, and just keeping current are all conveniently possible with a smart phone. However, the battery better be charged or the phone is useless. Battery life of course depends on the frequency, duration, and type of use. One study involving heavy use of the phones showed the mean of the battery life to be 11.25 hours with a standard deviation of 3.3 hours. Then the battery needs to be recharged. Assume the battery life between charges is normally distributed. (a) Find the probability that with heavy use, the battery life exceeds 12 hours. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) You are planning your recharging schedule so that the probability your phone will die is no more than 5%. After how many hours should you plan to recharge your phone? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an hour.) hours

An economist wants to determine whether the mean FICO score is more than the cutoff of 720. She finds that a random sample of 75 people had a mean FICO score of 725 with a standard deviation of 95. Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is greater than 720? Use the =α0.01 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. 1.

As the manager of the human resources department at your firm, you are investigating the number of sick days employees took during the last calendar year. For employees in the marketing area, the average number of sick days is 4.8 with standard deviation 1.9; for those in the research and design (R&D), the mean is 5.5 with standard deviation 3.2. Compute and compare the coefficients of variation for each set of data. What is the coefficient of variation for the marketing area? CV=? % (Round to one decimal place as needed.) What is the coefficient of variation for the research and design (R&D) area? CV= ?% (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Which area of the firm has more variability?
