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?

Traffic Highway planners investigated the relationshipbetween traffic Density (number of automobiles per mile)and the average Speed of the traffic on a moderately largecity thoroughfare. The data were collected at the samelocation at 10 different times over a span of 3 months.They found a mean traffic Density of 68.6 cars per mile(cpm) with standard deviation of 27.07 cpm. Overall, the cars’ average Speed was 26.38 mph, with standard devia-tion of 9.68 mph. These researchers found the regression line for these data to be Speed = 50.55 - 0.352 Density.a) What is the value of the correlation coefficientbetween Speed and Density?b) What percent of the variation in average Speed isexplained by traffic Density? c) Predict the average Speed of traffic on the thorough-fare when the traffic Density is 50 cpm. d) What is the value of the residual for a traffic Densityof 56 cpm with an observed Speed of 32.5 mph?e) The data set initially included the point Density =125 cpm, Speed = 55 mph.

Total blood volume (in ml) per body weight (in kg) is important in medical research. For healthy adults, the red blood cell volume mean is about µ = 28 ml/kg with a standard deviation of 4.75ml/kg. Red blood cells volume that is too low or too high can indicate a medical problem. Suppose he does a hypothesis test with a significance level of 0.01. Roger has had seven blood tests and the red blood cell volumes were: 32 25 41 35 30 37 29 Roger’s null hypothesis is that his blood tests are normal and that his alternative hypothesis is that something is wrong. Symbolically, the null and hypotheses are as follows Ho: µ = 28 ml/kg and Hi: µ ≠ 28 ml/kg What value of the test statistic (z) should he report? (Sampling a Normal Distribution for the Mean µ) Group of answer choices a. 0.99 b.2.42 c.2.62 d.2.22
An experiment was conducted to a sample of nine gold fish and ten clown fish to determine if there is a significant difference in the average number of days that the fish can survive without food inside the aquarium. The gold fish averaged 11 days with a standard deviation of 2 days while the clown fish averaged 12 days with a standard deviation of 3 days. What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis?

Researchers interested in determining the relative effectiveness of two different drug treatments on people with a chronic illness established two independent test groups. The first group consisted of 12 people with the illness, and the second group consisted of 14 people with the illness. The first group received treatment 1 and had a mean time until remission of 166 days with a standard deviation of 8 days. The second group received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 163 days with a standard deviation of 9 days. Assume that the populations of times until remission for each of the two treatments are normally distributed with equal variance. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean number of days before remission after treatment 1 ( μ1 ) and the mean number of days before remission after treatment 2 ( μ2 ). Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate…

Judy is a psychology student who participates in three competitions: Swimming, cycling, and running in one event. In the last competition, Judy completed the swimming race in 13 minutes and 20 seconds (800 seconds), cycling in 33 minutes and 52 seconds (2032 seconds), and the running race in 17 minutes and 3 seconds (1023 seconds. Completion times for participants in Swimming are normally distributed with a mean of / = 725 seconds and a standard deviation o - 50 seconds. Completion times for participants in Cycling* are normally distributed with a mean of = 2182 seconds and a standard deviation o= 75 seconds. And completion times for participants in Running are normally distributed with a mean of u = 1083 seconds and a standard deviation o = 60 seconds.
