12. The manager of a fast-food restaurant wants to be sure that, on average, customers are served within 4 minutes from the time the order is placed. He is particularly concerned about the staff working during the early morning shift. From a random sample of 41 orders, the mean time was 3.75 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.2 minutes. (a) Is there convincing evidence at the a= 0.05 significance level that the true mean service time during the early morning shift is less than 4 minutes?

The Census Bureau reports that 82% of Americans over the age of 25 are high school graduates. A survey of randomly selected residents of certain county included 1250 who were over the age of 25, and 973 of them were high school graduates. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation for the total number of high school graduates in random groups of 1250 Americans who are over the age of 25. b. Is that county result of 973 unusually high, or low, or neither?
3. The distribution of test scores in a class is unimodal and symmetric with a mean of 80 pts and a standard deviation of 7pts. Based on the information, Adam estimated that his score is higher than approximately 97.5% of the students in class. What score did Adam receive? Explain.
15) The Carolina Tobacco Company advertises that its best selling cigarette contain at most 40 mg of nicotine, but Consumer Advocate magazine conducts tests of 10 randomly selected cigarettes and find that x−=43.3 mg and s=3.8mg. Other evidence suggests that the distribution of nicotine content is a normal distribution. With a significance level of ∝ =0.01 in testing the company’s claim that the mean nicotine content is at most 40mg.
Fran is training for her first marathon, and she wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners who are training for marathons. She interviews 42 randomly selected people who train in groups and finds that they run a mean of 47.1 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 4.4 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 47 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 48.5 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 1.8 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
3. A business school claims that students who complete a three month course of typing course can type on average, at least 1200 words an hour. A random sample of 25 students who completed this course typed, on average, 1130 words an hour with a standard deviation of 85 words. Assume that the typing speeds for all students who complete this course have an approximate normal distribution. Using the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the claim of the business school is true?
A new small business wants to know if its current radio advertising is effective. The owners decide to look at the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store on days immediately following days when the radio ads are played as compared to the mean for those days following days when no radio advertisements are played. They found that for 10 days following no advertisements, the mean was 18.3 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.8 customers. On 7 days following advertising, the mean was 19.4 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.6 customers. Test the claim, at the 0.02 level, that the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store is lower for days following no advertising compared to days following advertising. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal. Let days following no advertisements be Population 1 and let days following advertising be Population 2. Step 3 of 3: Draw a…
Insurance Company A claims that its customers pay less for car insurance, on average, than customers of its competitor, Company B. You wonder if this is true, so you decide to compare the average monthly costs of similar insurance policies from the two companies. For a random sample of 12people who buy insurance from Company A, the mean cost is $153 per month with a standard deviation of $16. For 15 randomly selected customers of Company B, you find that they pay a mean of $160 per month with a standard deviation of $10. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal to test Company A’s claim at the 0.10 level of significance. Let customers of Company A be Population 1 and let customers of Company B be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below.

1. The quality of the drinking water must be monitored as often as possible. One variable of concern is the pH level, which measures the alkalinity or acidity of the water. A pH below 7.0 is acidic while a pH above 7.0 is alkaline. A pH of 7.0 is neutral. A water-treatment plant is targeting higher than 8.0 pH. Based on 16 random water samples, the mean and standard deviation were found to be: Xbar=7.6 and s = 0.4. Test the claim using 5% level of significance.a. Describe the population parameter of interest.b. Formulate the null and alternativehypothesis.c. Check the assumptions.d. Choose a significance level size for a.e. Select the appropriate test statistic. Compute the test statistic using the appropriate formula.f. Establish the critical valueg. State the decision rule for rejecting or not the null hypothesis.h.

A new small business wants to know if its current radio advertising is effective. The owners decide to look at the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store on days immediately following days when the radio ads are played as compared to the mean for those days following days when no radio advertisements are played.

On 10 days following advertising, the mean was 24.1 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.6 customers. Test the claim, at the 0.05 level, that the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store is lower for days following no advertising compared to days following advertising. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal.
