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

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?
According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, a healthy adult should obtain at least 7 hours of sleep per night. But is this happening in New York City- aka "the city that never sleeps" ? A study of 28 NYC adults chosen at random found that the sample mean was 6.73 hours and the sample standard deviation was 0.79 hours. Is there statistically significant evidence that NYC adults, on average, sleep less than 7 hours per night? Is the result "practically significant"?
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 Fair Isaac Cooperation (FICO) credit score is used by banks and other lenders to determine whether someone is a good credit risk. Scores range from 330 to 850, with a score of 720 or more indicating that a person is a very good credit risk. An economist wants to determine whether the mean FICO score is lower than the cutoff of 720. She finds that a random sample of 60 people had a mean FICO score of 685 with a standard deviation of 80. Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is less than 720? Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method
According to the norms established for a history test, Grade 8 students should have an average of 81.7 with standard deviation of 8.5. If 100 randomly selected grade 8 students from a certain school district average 79.6 in this test, can we conclude that at 0.05 level of significance that Grade 8 students from this school district can be expected to have a different average than the norm of 81.7?
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.
An online stock trading company makes part of their revenue from clients when the clients trade stocks therefore, it is important to the company to have an good idea of how many trades its clients are making in a given year. In a sample of 120 clients of an online stock trading company, the average number of trades per year was 82 with a standard deviation of 16. If you were to test the hypothesis that the average number of trades per year is different than the previous year when the average number of trades was 85 (using the 10% level of significance), the test statistic is -2.05 and the critical value is ± 1.65 . What is your conclusion concerning the null hypothesis? Reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesis
Using traditional methods, it takes 98 hours to receive a basic driving license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 270 students and observed that they had a mean of 97 hours. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 7. A level of significance of 0.1 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the technique performs differently than the traditional method? What is the conclusion?
