A hospital administrator believes that the standard deviation of the number of people using outpatient surgery per day is greater than 8. A random sample of 15 days of recorded number of outpatient surgery is selected with the standard deviation of 11.2. Is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim at 1% significance level?

A poll of 100 randomly selected car owners revealed that the mean length of time that they plan to keep their cars is 6.75 years and standard deviation is 3.60 years. Test the claim that the mean length of time for all car owners to keep their cars is less than 7.50 years. Use a 0.05 significance level.
The National Center for Health Statistics reports that the systolic blood pressure for males 35 to 44 years of age has mean 28mm Hg and standard deviation 15 mm Hg. The medical director of a large company looks at the medical records of 72 executives in this age group and finds that the mean systolic blood pressure in this sample is x = 126.07 mm Hg. At a 5% significance level, the data fail to show significant evidence that the mean blood pressure of a population of executives differs from the national mean = 128 mm Hg. The medical director now wonders if the test used would detect an important difference if one were present. Use the applet to calculate the power of the test against the alternative μ = 122 mm Hg. Provide your answer to three decimal places. Power =
A student at a four-year college claims that mean enrollment at four-year colleges is higher than at two-year colleges in the United States. Two surveys are conducted. Of the 35 four-year colleges surveyed, the mean enrollment was 5,882 with a standard deviation of 745. Of the 35 two-year colleges surveyed, the mean enrollment was 5,200 with a standard deviation of 700. Test the student's claim at the 0.1 significance level.

One group of 50 students took a distance learning class, while another group of 25 took the same course in a traditional face-to-face classroom. Both group were given the same mid-term test. The average score of the distance learning group was 52.0 with a standard deviation of 15.4. The average score for the group who took the course in the traditional format was 58.0 with a standard deviation of 18.0. At a significance level of 0.1, can it be concluded that there is a difference in average score of students between the distance learning and face-to face instruction formats? Determine which of the following formulations of the hypotheses is appropriate and enter the corresponding number in the answer text box. Note: Index "v" refers to the population of students taking distance learning classes (virtual mode) and index "" refers to the population of students taking face-to-face classes (traditional mode). For example if you believe formulation number 4 below is the most appropriate…
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
Historically, evening long-distance calls from a particular city have averaged 15.1 minutes per call. In a random sample of 37 calls, the sample mean time was 13.3 minutes. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 5 minutes. Using a 0.05 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the average evening long-distance call has decreased?
A pharmaceutical company needs to know if its new cholesterol drug, Praxor, is effective at lowering cholesterol levels. It believes that people who take Praxor will average a greater decrease in cholesterol level than people taking a placebo. After the experiment is complete, the researchers find that the 4848 participants in the treatment group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 21.521.5 points with a standard deviation of 2.52.5 points. The 4040 participants in the control group lowered their cholesterol levels by a mean of 20.920.9 points with a standard deviation of 4.14.1 points. Assume that the population variances are not equal and test the company’s claim at the 0.100.10 level. Let the treatment group be Population 1 and let the control group be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. step 3 of 3 : Conclusion- fail to reject/reject...insufficient/sufficient
