3. A manufacturer of sports equipment has developed a new synthetic fishing line that he claims has a mean breaking strength of 8 kilograms with a standard deviation of 0.5 kilogram. Test the hypothesis that u = 8 kilograms against the alternative that u = 8 kilograms if a random sample of 50 lines is tested and found to have a mean breaking strength of 7.8 kilograms. Use a = 0.01 level of significance. (Illustrate the six (6) steps in hypothesis testing using the traditional method) %D

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 of Pennsylvania showed a mean annual premium of $1,430 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 O Ho: u = 1,503 H: u # 1,503 premium. o Ho: H 1,503 O Ho: H > 1,503 Ha:uS 1,503 (b) What is a point estimate in dollars of the difference between the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania and the national mean? (Use the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania minus the national mean.)
You are the manager of a restaurant that delivers pizza to college dormitory rooms. You have just changed your delivery process in an effort to reduce the mean time between the order and completion of delivery from the current 25 minutes. A sample of 36 orders using the new delivery process yields a sample mean of 22.4 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 6 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test to determine if there’s evidence that the population mean delivery time has been reduced below the previous population mean value of 25 minutes by answering the following questions: (a) What are the null and alternate hypotheses for this test? (b) What is the value of the test statistic for this test? (c) Using the critical value approach, at the 0.05 level of significance, what is the decision rule? (d) What is your conclusion in context of the problem? (Answer this question in a complete sentence(s) and include why, referring to the decision rule.) (e) Using the p-value approach, at the…
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a mean, u, of 1875 pounds, and a standard deviation of 100 pounds. It is claimed that an improvement in the manufacturing process has increased the mean breaking strength. To evaluate this claim, 50 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1912 pounds. Can we support, at the 0.1 level of significance, the claim that the mean breaking strength has increased? (Assume that the standard deviation has not changed.) Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H and the alternative hypothesis H,. p H, :0 H, :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) ▼ D=0 OSO O20 (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal…
The general population (Population 2) has a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 5, and the cutoff Z score for significance in a study involving one participant is 1.96. If the raw score obtained by the participant is 45, what decisions should be made about the null and research hypotheses?
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
The average undergraduate cost for tuition, fees, and room and board for two-year institutions last year was $14,124. The following year, a random sample of 20 two-year institutions had a mean of $17,124 and a standard deviation of $3700. Is there sufficient evidence at the alpha level of 0.05 to conclude that the mean cost has increased. Show 6 steps of hypothesis
A researcher decides to measure anxiety in group of bullies and a group of bystanders using a 23-item, 3 point anxiety scale. Assume scores on the anxiety scales are normally distributed and the variance among the group of bullies and bystanders are the same. A group of 30 bullies scores an average of 21.5 with a sample standard deviation of 10 on the anxiety scale. A group of 27 bystanders scored an average of 25.8 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the anxiety scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions whether bullies or bystanders will be more anxious so you formulate the null and alternative hypothesis based on that.
