Before changes to its management staff, an automobile assembly line operation had a scheduled mean completion time of 12.9 minutes. The standard deviation of completion times was 1.8 minutes. An analyst at the company suspects that, under new management, the mean completion time, u, is now less than 12.9 minutes. To test this claim, a random sample of 80 completion times under new management was taken by the analyst. The sample had a mean of 12.7 minutes. Can we support, at the 0.10 level of significance, the claim that the population mean completion time under new management is less than 12.9 minutes? Assume that the population standard deviation of completion times has not changed under new management. 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 alternative hypothesis H,. H, :0 H :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. 口=ロ (Choose one) ▼ (c) Find the value of the test statistic.

One year Chris had the lowest ERA (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings pitched) of any male pitcher at his school, with an ERA of 3.18. Also, Sally had the lowest ERA of any female pitcher at the school with an ERA of 2.52. For the males, the mean ERA was 4.849 and the standard deviation was 0.616. For the females, the mean ERA was 4.766 and the standard deviation was 0.689. Find their respective z-scores. Which player had the better year relative to their peers, Chris or Sally? (Note: In general, the lower the ERA, the better the pitcher.) Chris had an ERA with a z-score of Sally had an ERA with a z-score of (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
The U.S. Center for Disease Control reports that the mean life expectancy was 47.6 years for whites born in 1900 and 33.0 years for nonwhites. Suppose that you randomly survey death records for people born in 1900 in a certain county. Of the 124 whites, the mean life span was 45.3 years with a standard deviation of 12.7 years. Of the 82 nonwhites, the mean life span was 34.1 years with a standard deviation of 15.6 years. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to see if the mean life spans in the county were the same for whites and nonwhites. a) The null and alternative hypothesis would be: O Ho: Pw = PN H1: Pw > PN Mil :ºH H1: Hw + HN %3D O Ho: Pw H1: Pw µN Ho: µw H1: µw 0.05 d) Make a decision.

It seems these days that college graduates who are employed full time work more than 40 hour weeks. Data are available that can help us decide if this is true. A survey was recently sent to a group of adults selected at random. There were 22 respondents who were college graduates employed full time. The mean number of hours worked per week by these 22 respondents was 43 hours, with a standard deviation of 8 hours. Assume that the population of hours worked per week by college graduates employed full time is normally distributed with mean. Can we conclude that mean is greater than 40 hours? Use the 0.1 level of significance. Perform a one tailed test, and complete the parts below.
In Professor Krugman’s economics course, the correlation between the students’ total scores prior to the final examination and their final‑examination scores is ?=0.5.r=0.5. The pre‑exam totals for all students in the course have mean 280280 and standard deviation 40.40. The final‑exam scores have mean 7575 and standard deviation 8.8. Professor Krugman has lost Julie’s ﬁnal exam but knows that her total before the exam was 300.300. He decides to predict her ﬁnal‑exam score from her pre‑exam total. (a) Which of the choices is the least‑squares regression line of ﬁnal‑exam scores on pre‑exam total scores in this course?
During the busy season, it is important for the shipping manager at ShipMundo to be able to estimate the time it takes the loading crew to load a truck. The shipping manager has found that she can model the load times using a normal distribution with a mean of 152 minutes and a standard deviation of 15 minutes. Use this table or the ALEKS calculator to find the percentage of load times between 116 minutes and 149 minutes according to the model. For your intermediate computations, use four or more decimal places. Give your final answer to two decimal places (for example 98.23%).
A researcher wanted to know whether losing one night sleep can affect problem solving. A sample of n = 25 college students was given a problem-solving task at noon on one day and again at noon on the following day. The students were not permitted any sleep between the two tests. For each student, the difference between the first and the second score was recorded: MD = 5 and standard deviation of the difference score was s = 10. Do the data indicate a significant change in problem solving ability? Use a two-tailed test with α = .01. The alternative hypothesis in words is Group of answer choices Problem solving ability improves after losing on night sleep Problem solving ability is reduced after losing one night of sleep There is no significant difference in problem solving ability between the two conditions: before and after losing one night of sleep There is a significant difference in problem solving ability between the two conditions: before and after losing one night of…
