A commonly cited standard for one-way length (duration) of school bus rides for elementary school children is 30 minutes. A local government office in a rural area randomly samples 100 elementary school children in their district and find an average one-way commute time of 38 minutes with a standard deviation of 8 minutes. Which of the following is the correct set of hypotheses for testing if the average commute time of elementary school students in this district is different than the commonly cited standard of 30 minutes? O Họ: x = 38; HẠ: H = 30 Ο Hρ: μ=30; HA μ > 30 O HA: H = 30; Ho: × = 30 Ο Ha μ=30; HA μ-30 O Ho: H = 30; HẠ: x = 38

A computer software vendor claims that a new version of its operating system will crash fewer than six times per year on average. A system administrator installs the operating system and claims that the new operating system will crash more than six times per year on average. At the end of year, the system administrator samples 41 computers with the new operating system and finds that the mean number of crashes on those computers for the year was 7.1 with sample standard deviation of 3.6 crashes. Can you conclude that the system administrator’s claim is correct? Use the critical value method to perform a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance. a. Define the parameter we are testing and setup a hypothesis test to test the administrator’s claim: b. Calculate the test statistics for this hypothesis test. c. What is the critical value for this hypothesis test?
According to a recent study published by the American Statistics for Educators Journal, statistics students spend, on average, 80 minutes a week playing video games. A certain instructor of statistics at WCC believes that WCC students spend less than this amount of time playing video games per week. To test his belief, he randomly samples 31 students and finds the sample mean to be 72 minutes with a standard deviation of 35 minutes. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence to suggest that WCC students spend less than 80 minutes a week, on average, playing video games? Use the p-value approach. Define the parameter we are testing and setup a hypothesis to test the see if the statistics instructor is correct: Calculate the test statistics for this hypothesis test. What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?
An ordinary traveler claims that the average difference between the plane fares of all trips from the Philippines to a certain destination in the two airlines is significantly different. To validate this claim, 145 trips have been randomly selected from the first airline, which gave a mean fare of PHP 23,502.71 with a sample standard deviation of PHP 4,853.39. On the other hand, 123 trips are chosen at random from the second airline, which provided a mean fare of PHP 21,884.09 with a sample standard deviation of PHP 4,987.73. Assume that the populations are normally distributed, and the standard deviations for both populations are equal. At ? = 0.01, indicate whether or not there is sufficient evidence to support the traveler’s claim
An editor for a large book distributor claims the mean time required to write a textbook is at least 32 months. A sample of 49 textbook authors found that the mean time taken to write a textbook was 35 months with a standard deviation of 6.8 months. Using a 2.5% significance level, would you conclude that the editor's claim is true?
The administrator at your local hospital states that on weekends the average wait time for emergency room visits is 10 minutes. Based on discussions you have had with friends who have complained on how long they waited to be seen in the ER over a weekend, you dispute the administrator’s claim. You decide to test your hypothesis. Over the course of a few weekends, you record the wait time for 40 randomly selected patients. The average wait time for these 40 patients is 11 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Do you have enough evidence to support your hypothesis that the average ER wait time is different than 10 minutes? You opt to conduct the test at an α = 0.025 level of significance.
Based on the information from the U.S census bureau the mean travel time to work in minutes for all workers 16 years old and older was 27.5 minutes. A large company with offices in several states randomly sample 85 of its workers to ascertain their commuting times. The sample mean was 23.6 minutes,and the population standard deviation is 5.41 minutes. At the 0.05 level of signifance can it be concluded that the mean commuting time is less for this particular company
The barricade width of 25 glass 2-liter bottle was measured by an independent quality control engineer from Zimbabwe. The sample mean was 4.05 meters and sample standard deviation was 0.08 meter. Find a 95% lower confidence bound for mean barricade width.
A college admissions officer believes that students enrolling from Shawnee school District have higher SAT scores than those who enroll from West River School District. A sample of 30 students from each district is selected. The average SAT score for the group from the Shawnee district is 656 with a standard deviation of 100. The average SAT score for the group from the West River district is 560 with a standard deviation of 90. Is the belief of the admissions officer substantiated?
