3. A State Highway Patrol periodically samples vehicles at various locations on a particular highway to test the hypothesis that the average speed exceeds the set limit of 70 mph. These locations are the best locations for radar patrol cars to catch speeders. At a particular location, a random sample of 30 vehicles shows a mean driving speed of 73.2 mph with a standard deviation of 8.1 mph. Is this location a candidate for radar patrol? Test using a 5% significance level. [15 points] D. Sketch and label the distribution of the test statistic. Shade the distribution to show the p- value AND calculate the p-value. E. What is the decision at the 5% level? Are the results significant? F. State your conclusion using a well written sentence.

1. The owner of a gas station which makes headlight inspections for the state is trying to decide whether or not to discontinue the service. He figures that to make the operation profitable, the station must average in excess of 15 inspections per week. Unless data indicates strongly that this is the case, inspections will be discontinued. Data for the past year (52 weeks) yields a sample average of 16.7 inspections per week with a sample standard deviation of 4.5. Is this strong enough evidence to cause the owner to retain the inspection service? Test the relevant hypotheses using the P-value method.
Assume a media agency reports that it takes television streaming service subscribers in the U.S. an average of 6.14 days to watch the entire first season of a television series, with a standard deviation of 4.03 days. Scarlett is an analyst for an online television and movie streaming service company that targets to the 18-50 age bracket. She wants to determine if her company's customers exhibit shorter viewing rates for their series offerings. Scarlett plans to conduct a one-sample z-test, with significance level of a = 0.05, to test the null hypothesis, Ho: u = 6.14 days, against the alternative hypothesis, Hj: µ < 6.14 days. The variable u is the mean amount of time, in days, that it takes for customers to watch the first season of a television series. Scarlett selects a simple random sample of 825 customers who watched the first season of a television series from the company database of over 25,000 customers that qualified. She compiles the summary statistics shown in the table.…
A random sample of 89 tourists in British Columbia showed that they spent an average of $2860 (in a week) with an assumed population standard deviation of $126; and a sample of 64 tourists in Alberta showed that they spent an average of $2935 (in a week) with an assumed population standard deviation of $138. We are interested in determining if there is any significant difference between the average expenditures of all the tourists who visited the two provinces.a. At a significance level of 0.05, are the two average expenditures significantly different? b. Calculate the 99% confidence interval and interpret your results?
The lecturer are concerned that students who enrolled for the course this semester are spending more time playing online games than revising for their upcoming test. In order to pass the test, students need to spend at least 6 hours per week on the course materials. They conducted a survey of 120 students from Section 10G and 15P for which the result shows that the mean time they spent studying for the course in a week is 5.7667 hours with a standard deviation of 1.6487 hours. Using the critical value z0.025 =1.96 , perform hypothesis testing for mean to test whether or not students spent at least 6 hours weekly to study for the course.

When students use the bus from their dorms, they have an average commute time of 8.263 minutes with standard deviation 2.9321 minutes. Approximately 75.67% of students reported a commute time greater than how many minutes? Assume the distribution is approximately normal. Question 10 options: 1) 6.22 2) 2.28 3) 14.24 4) 10.3 5) We do not have enough information to calculate the value.
2. A travel agent claims that the mean price of a round trip flight from San Francisco to Hawaii is less than $510. A simple random sample of 60 round trip flights from San Francisco to Hawaii has a mean price of $502. Assume the population standard deviation is $110. At a significance level of 5%, is there enough statistical evidence to support the travel agent's claim? Requirements: 1. 2. 3. Step 1: State the hypothesis: Họ: Ha: Tail Step 2: Draw your distribution and find critical number(s) Step 3: Compute the test statistics Step 4: Make a Decision: Step 5: Summarize the result: (Restate the level of significance and discuss the claim)
A food distribution company claims that a restaurant chain receives, on average, 26 pounds of fresh vegetables on a daily basis. The standard deviation of these shipments is known to be 4.4 pounds. The district manager of the restaurant chain decides to randomly sample 35 shipments from the company and finds a mean weight of 24.7 pounds. Test at a 3% level of significance to determine whether or not the food distribution company sends less than 26 pounds of fresh vegetables. a. Check the TWO requirements that are satisfied. The Central Limit Theorem applies. The a distribution is normal since n > 30. The a distribution is normal since the x distribution is normal. The p distribution is normal since np > 5 and nq > 5.
