The human resources department of a consulting firm gives a standard creativity test to a randomly selected group of new hires every year. This year, 100 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 113.6 points with a standard deviation of 134. Last year, 95 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 116.4 points with a standard deviation of 16.8. Assume that the population standard deviations of the test scores of all new hires in the current year and the test socores of all new hires last year can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, as the samples used were quite large. Construct a 90 confidence interval for the difference between the mean test score , of new hires from the current year and the mean test score , of new hires from last year. Then tind the lower limit and upper limit of the 905% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answeis to at least two decimal places.

The chipmunk population in a certain area is known to have a mean weight of 84 gm and a standard deviation of 18 gm. A wildlife biologist weighs 9 chipmunks that have been caught in live traps before releasing them. According to the Central Limit Theorem, what best describes what we know about the sampling distribution of means for the biologist’s sample?
A man who moves to a new city sees that there are two routes he could take to work. A neighbor who has lived there a long time tells him Route A will average 5 minutes faster than Route B. The man decides to experiment. Each day he flips a coin to determine which way to go, driving each route 20 days. He finds that Route A takes an average of 45 minutes, with standard deviation 3 minutes, and Route B takes an average of 49 minutes, with standard deviation 5 minutes. Histograms of travel times for the routes are roughly symmetric and show no outliers. Complete parts a and b. (...) a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the Route B and Route A commuting times, (µÂ ¯ µÃ) - The confidence interval is (.). (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
2) The average life of a special rechargeable battery for a Calculator that performs 45 functions is 700 hours, with A standard deviation of 37 hours. A sample of 50 batteries is randomly selected, what percentage of the batteries will last more then 705 hours?
The university data center has two main computers: computer 1 and computer 2. A new routine has recently been written for computer 1 to handle its tasks, while computer 2 is still using the preexisting routine. The center wants to determine if the processing time for computer 1's tasks is now less than that of computer 2. A random sample of 15 processing times from computer 1 showed a mean of 56 seconds with a standard deviation of 15 seconds, while a random sample of 13 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1) showed a mean of 70 seconds with a standard deviation of 20 seconds. Assume that the populations of processing times are normally distributed for each of the two computers, and that the variances are equal. Can we conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that u,, the mean processing time of computer 1, is less than µ,, the mean processing time of computer 2? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your…
A bottler carefully weighs bottles coming off its production line to check that the system is filling the bottles with the correct amount of beverage. By design, the system is set to slightly overfill the bottles to allow for random variation in the packaging. The content weight is designed to be 814 g with standard deviation 9 g. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) A proposed system shuts down the facility if the contents of a bottle weigh less than 800 g. What is the chance of a Type I error with this system? The chance of a Type I error is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
A fast-food franchise, looking to reduce wait times for customers, launched a pilot program where customers could use a smartphone app to place orders. The mean wait times (in seconds) for in-store and drive-through customers at 10 stores participating in the pilot program and at 10 stores not in the program are recorded. Assume that the population standard deviation of mean wait times is 30 seconds for both groups of stores and that the mean wait times are normally distributed for both groups of stores. Let the mean wait times of the stores not in the program be the first sample, and let the mean wait times of the stores in the program be the second sample. The franchise conducts a two-mean hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance, to test if there is evidence that the smartphone app reduces wait times.

The university data center has two main computers. The center wants to examine whether computer 1 is receiving tasks that require processing times comparable to those of computer 2 . A random sample of 14 processing times from computer 1 showed a mean of 54 seconds with a standard deviation of 20 seconds, while a random sample of 9 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1 ) showed a mean of 61 seconds with a standard deviation of 19 seconds.

A soft drink bottler purchases glass bottles from a vendor. The bottles are required to have an internal pressure of at least 150150 pounds per square inch (psi). A prospective bottle vendor claims that its production process yields bottles with a mean internal pressure of 157157 psi and a standard deviation of 33 psi. The bottler strikes an agreement with the vendor that permits the bottler to sample from the production process to verify the claim. the bottler randomly selects 4040 bottles from the last 1000010000 produced, measures the internal pressure of each, and finds the mean pressure for the sample to be 0.50.5 psi below the process mean cited by the vendor. (a) Assuming that the vendor is correct in his claim, what is the probability of obtaining a sample mean this far or farther below the process mean? (b) If the standard deviation were 33 psi as claimed, but the mean was 154154 psi, what is the probability of obtaining a sample mean of 156.5156.5 psi or below? (c) If the…
