A tire manufacturer claims that the mean life of its tire is 75,000 miles. The mean of a sample of 50 tires is 74,200 miles with a standard deviation of 2300 miles. Using an alpha of 5%, does the manufacturer’s claim appear to hold ture? Explain.
The mean life span of an African savanna elephant in the wild used to be 60 years. A recent sample of 15 deceased elephants in the wild yielded a mean life span of 62 years. Assume a normally distributed population with = 6 years. Test if the population mean life span of African savanna elephants has increased, using a = 0.05. Select one: O a. p-value = 0.0984, do not reject Ho. O b. p-value = 0.0984, reject Ho. c. p-value = 0.1968, do not reject Ho. d. p-value = 0.4522, do not Reject Ho.
A half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20s was 62.3inches. Assume that the heights of today's women in their 20s are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.25inches. If the mean height today is the same as that of a half-century ago, what percentage of all samples of 29of today's women in their 20s have mean heights of at least 63.41 inches?
A group of 320 male students from the local high school have a mean mass of 70.41 kg. Records of similar students countrywide show a mean mass of 70.0 kg. A researcher wishes to determine whether the local students differ from the national group. what would be the research problem?
The Army reports that the distribution of head circumferences among male soldiers is approximately normal with μ =22.8 inches and σ = 1.1 inches. What is the circumference of a soldier whose head is 2.34 standard deviations above the mean?
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
A consumer advocacy group tested the "on-air" lifetime of a random sample of 162 cell phone battries. The mean life time was 2.9 hours with a standard deviation of 0.4 hours.The lifetimes are approximately bell-shaped. Estimated the number of battries with lifetimes between 2.1 hours and 3.7 hours.
Per the Barron's report the average weeks unemployed is 21.5 (population mean) with a population standard deviation of 5 weeks and a sample of 55. Calculate the standard error of the mean to two decimals.
The president of a college wants to determine the mean number of units that college students take per semester. How large of a sample is required in order to be 99% sure that a sample mean will be off by no more than 1.25 units? An initial study suggested that the standard deviation is approximately 2.1 units.
A sports writer wished to see if a football filled with helium travels farther, on average, than a football filled with air. To test this, the writer used 18 adult male volunteers. These volunteers were randomly divided into two groups of nine men each. Group 1 kicked a football that was filled with helium to the recommended pressure. Group 2 kicked a football that was filled with air to the recommended pressure. The mean yardage for Group 1 was ?¯1=300 yards with a standard deviation of ?1=8 yards. The mean yardage for Group 2 was ?¯2=296 yards with a standard deviation of ?2=6 yards. Assume the two groups of kicks are independent. Let ?1 and ?2 represent the mean yardage we would observe for the entire population represented by the volunteers if all members of this population kicked, respectively, a helium‑filled football and an air‑filled football. Assuming two‑sample ? procedures are safe to use and using Option 1 for the degrees of freedom, a 90% confidence interval for ?1−?2 is:…
An article in the San Jose Mercury News stated that students in the California state university system take 4.5 years, on average, to finish their undergraduate degrees. Suppose you believe that the mean time is longer. You conduct a survey of 49 students and obtain a sample mean of 5.1 with a sample standard deviation of 1.2. Do the data support your claim at the 1% level? A) Find the test statistic. Round to 3 decimal places. b) Find the p-value. Round to 4 decimal places. c)What is the decision about the null hypothesis? D) state the conclusion
An article published in the American Journal of Public Health that reported the relation between tall stature and cardiovascular disease morality included a table with the column heading “Mean Height, cm. (SE).” One entry in the table based on n =1243 individuals was “ 173.2 (0/2).” From this information, determine the standard deviation of height in this group.
