A shareholders' group is lodging a protest against your company. The shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief exective office (CEO) was at least 9 years. A survey of 91 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 7.6 years for CEOS with a standard deviation of s = 4.5 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don't know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed. You want to formulate and test a hypothesis that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the group, at a significance level of a = 0.001. Your hypotheses are: H: μΣ 9 Ha:µ < 9 What is the test statistic for this sample? test statistic = (Report answer accurate to 3 decimal places.) What is the p-value for this sample? p-value = (Report answer accurate to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is... O less than (or equal to) a O greater than a This test statistic leads to a decision to... reject the null accept the null O fail to reject the null

Newborn babies: A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights of 716 babies born in New York. The mean weight was 3506 grams with a standard deviation of 868 grams. Assume that birth weight data are approximately bell-shaped. Estimate the number of newborns who weighed between 1770 grams and 5242 grams. Round to the nearest whole number. The number of newborns who weighed between 1770 grams and 5242 grams is
The average age of Amtrak passenger train cars is about 20 years. If the distribution of ages is normal and 10% of the cars are older than 24 years, find the the standard deviation.
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
