A research firm supplies manufacturers with estimates of the sales of their products from samples of stores. Marketing managers often look at the sales estimates and ignore sampling error. An SRS of 50 stores this month shows mean sales of 41 units of a particular appliance with standard deviation of 11 units. During the same month last year, an SRS of 52 stores gave mean sales of 38 units of the same appliance with a standard deviation of 13 units. An increase from 38 to 41 is a rise of 7.9%. The marketing manager is happy because sales are up 7.9%. (a) Give a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean number of units of the appliance sold at all retail stores. Give your answers to three decimal places. lower bound: upper bound:
What conditions are necessary in order to use the dependent samples t-test for the mean of the difference of two populations?
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have historically had a mean of 1875 pounds and a standard deviation of 70 pounds. The company believes that, due to an improvement in the manufacturing process, the mean breaking strength, µ, of the cables is now greater than 1875 pounds. To see if this is the case, 46 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1886 pounds. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the population mean breaking strength of the newly- manufactured cables is greater than 1875 pounds? Assume that the population standard deviation has not changed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H and the…

The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have historically had a mean of 1775 pounds and a standard deviation of 70 pounds. The company believes that, due to an improvement in the manufacturing process, the mean breaking strength, u, of the cables is now greater than 1775 pounds. To see if this is the case, 14 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1812 pounds. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the 0.10 level of significance, the claim that the population mean breaking strength of the newly- manufactured cables is greater than 1775 pounds?

The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a mean, u, of 1875 pounds, and a standard deviation of 100 pounds. It is claimed that an improvement in the manufacturing process has increased the mean breaking strength. To evaluate this claim, 50 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1912 pounds. Can we support, at the 0.1 level of significance, the claim that the mean breaking strength has increased? (Assume that the standard deviation has not changed.) Perform a one-tailed test.

A leasing firm claims that the mean number of miles driven annually, µ, in its leased cans is less than 12460 miles. A random sample of 27 cars leased from this firm had a mean of 11839 annual miles driven. It is known that the population standard deviation of the number of miles driven in cars from this firm is 1620 miles. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Is there support for the firm’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance? The null hypothesis: H0 : _____ The alternative hypothesis: H1: ______ The type of test statistic: (choose one) _______ The value of the test statistic: ______ (round to at least three decimal places.)

The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have historically had a mean of 1775 pounds and a standard deviation of 70 pounds. The Español company believes that, due to an improvement in the manufacturing process, the mean breaking strength, µ, of the cables is now greater than 1775 pounds. To see if this is the case, 16 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1806 pounds. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the 0.10 level of significance, the claim that the population mean breaking strength of the newly- manufactured cables is greater than 1775 pounds?

Oil wells in a large fiels produce an average of 33.5 barrels per day. Fifteen randomly selected oil wells produce an average of 30 barrels of crude oil per day with a standard deviation of 3.5 barrels. Is there enough evidence to conclude that the oil wells are not producing an average of 33.5 barrels of crude oil per day. Test at a=0.01.use two tailed.
During the busy season, it is important for the shipping manager at ShipMundo to be able to estimate the time it takes the loading crew to load a truck. The shipping manager has found that she can model the load times using a normal distribution with a mean of 152 minutes and a standard deviation of 15 minutes. Use this table or the ALEKS calculator to find the percentage of load times between 116 minutes and 149 minutes according to the model. For your intermediate computations, use four or more decimal places. Give your final answer to two decimal places (for example 98.23%).
Assume the hold time of callers to a cable company is normally distributed with a mean of 4.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.9 minute. Determine the percent of callers who are on hold between 2.7 minutes and 5.9 minutes.
