A phone company has conducted a study of the time its clients spend talking on their cellular phones each day. For a sample of 19 clients the company has obtained a sample standard deviation of 13.3 minutes. We assume that the talk time follows a normal distribution. The confidence interval at the 90% level for the standard deviation of the talk time in the population is: O [10.5, 18.41] O [9.94, 20.62] O [10.3, 19.12] O [9.63, 20.83]

The manager of a grocery store has taken a random sample of 100 customers. The average length of time it took the customers in the sample to check out was 4.2 minutes. The population standard deviation is known to be 0.6 minute. We want to test to determine whether or not the mean waiting time of all customers is significantly more than 4 minutes. The test statistic is O a. 5.56 O b. 0.33 O c. 2.58 O d. 3.33
A certain test preparation course is designed to improve students' SAT Math scores. The students who took the prep course have a mean SAT Math score of 550, while the students who did not take the prep course have a mean SAT Math score of 541. Assume that the population standard deviation of the SAT Math scores for students who took the prep course is 35.8 and for students who did not take the prep course is 31.6 The SAT Math scores are taken for a sample of 77 students who took the prep course and a sample of 87students who did not take the prep course. Conduct a hypothesis test of the claim that the SAT Math scores for students who took the prep course is higher than the SAT Math scores for students who did not take the prep course. Let μ1 be the true mean SAT Math score for students who took the prep course and μ2 be the true mean SAT Math score for students who did not take the prep course. Use a 0.01 level of significance. Step 1 of 5 : State the null and alternative…

A pizza delivery chain advertises that it will deliver your pizza in 2020 minutes from when the order is placed. Being a skeptic, you decide to test and see if the mean delivery time is actually more than 2020 minutes. For the simple random sample of 88 customers who record the amount of time it takes for each of their pizzas to be delivered, the mean is 22.222.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.13.1 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Perform a hypothesis test using a 0.0250.025 level of significance. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.

Justine is an analyst for a sleep study center. She believes that the average adult in a certain city spends more than 7.2 hours sleeping daily. To test this claim, she selects a random sample of 63 adults from the city. The following is the data from this study: The alternative hypothesis Ha:μ>7.2. The sample mean number of hours slept per night by the 63 adults is 7.52 hours. The sample standard deviation is 1.14 hours. The test statistic is calculated as 2.23. Using the information above and the portion of the t− table below, choose the correct p− value and interpretation for this hypothesis test.

Nielsen Media Research conducted a study of household television viewing time during the 7PM to 10PM time period (This is known as Prime Time). The average weekly time spent watching was 785 minutes. This was based off 600 randomly selected households. Based upon past studies the population standard deviation is known to be 65 minutes. Develop an 80% confidence interval for the average time Americans watched prime-time TV this week.
