a manufacturer of running shoes knows that the average lifetime for a particular model of shoes is 15 months. someone in the research and development division of the shoe company claims to have developed a longer lasting product. this new product was worn by 30 individuals and lasted on average for 17 months. the variability of the original shoe is estimated based on the standard deviation of the new group which is 5.5 months. is the designer's claim of a better shoe supported by the results? please base your decision on a twi tailed testing using level of significance of 0.05

You will be comparing two sets of data for this assignment. 1. Determine the average number of toilet paper rolls* for Fall 2022 biochemistry and genetics students (individually) and calculate the standard deviation of each using the equation. Please be sure to show your work. I know that you can easily use tools like Microsoft Excel to calculate standard deviation, but I would like to see you complete the work by hand so that you get a sense of the role of each component of the equation. Ignore students that did not provide answers (don't use those students in the mean or N value calculations). 2. Please answer the following questions when you submit your data. Which group had a higher mean number of rolls of toilet paper? Which value had the most variability? Referring to the equation, how could you decrease the amount of variability in the mean? Did you find the variation surprising or unexpected? The two sets of data and the standard deviation formula pictures are attached…

Linda, a researcher in a technology company, obtained a sample of 270 smartphone owners from California. She wanted to investigate whether Californians were quicker or slower to buy the latest version of a smartphone than the people in the rest of the United States. Linda found the average number of days that Californians waited to buy the latest version of a popular smartphone to be 4. Smartphone owners in the rest of the country typically wait 6 days, with a standard deviation of 21.

Many people consider their smart phone to be essential! Communication, news, Internet, entertainment, photos, and just keeping current are all conveniently possible with a smart phone. However, the battery better be charged or the phone is useless. Battery life of course depends on the frequency, duration, and type of use. One study involving heavy use of the phones showed the mean of the battery life to be 11.25 hours with a standard deviation of 3.3 hours. Then the battery needs to be recharged. Assume the battery life between charges is normally distributed. (a) Find the probability that with heavy use, the battery life exceeds 12 hours. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) You are planning your recharging schedule so that the probability your phone will die is no more than 5%. After how many hours should you plan to recharge your phone? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an hour.) hours
The chocolate chip cookies that are produced at Perry’s Cookie Emporium have weights which are approximately normally distributed with the mean weight 180 grams and with standard deviations 20 grams. The cookies, however, are sold by count, not by weight. Perry wants to improve his image, so he decides to set aside lightest 20% of the cookies to be packaged and sold separately. What cookie weight will divide the lightest 20% from the heaviest 80%?

Zazil’s Instagram reels over the year have averaged around 70 likes per art reel with a standard deviation of 12. Since using trending music over her art reels, several of them have recently gone viral, averaging 120 likes with a standard deviation of 6. Zazil would like to know if adding trendy music over a reel increases her average likes. How do we use a Z-Test to test to calculate the data and determine if we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
