A study was conducted to identify if there is a significant difference with two brands of shampoo. Random sample A of 25 sheets of shampoo with a mean content of 237 grams and standard deviation of 8.56 grams. Another sample B of 20 sheets pf shampoo showed a mean content of 240 grams and standard deviation of 9.75 grams. Using 0.05 level of significance, conduct hypothesis testing assuming that variances are equal.

An engineer designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The engineer designed the valve such that it would produce a mean pressure of 5.5 pounds/square inch. It is believed that the valve performs above the specifications. The valve was tested on 24 engines and the mean pressure was 5.7 pounds/square inch with a variance of 0.49. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Using traditional methods, it takes 8.7 hours to receive a basic driving license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 12 students and observed that they had a mean of 8.4 hours with a variance of 2.56. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
A custodian wishes to compare two competing floor waxes to decide which one is best. He believes that the mean of WaxWin is not equal to the mean of WaxCo. In a random sample of 12 floors of WaxWin and 20 of WaxCo. WaxWin had a mean lifetime of 27.6 with a standard deviation of 8.8 and WaxCo had a mean lifetime of 20.3 with a standard deviation of 7.6. Perform a hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.01 to help him decide. Let WaxWin be sample 1 and WaxCo be sample 2 The correct hypotheses are: HA: P1 > µ2(claim) Ho: µ1 2 µ2 HA: µ1 < µ2(claim) Ho: µ1 = µ2 HA: H1 + H2(claim) Since the level of significance is 0.01 the critical value is 2.836 and -2.836 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places)

A market research group would like to know the satisfaction of subscribers in terms of the quality of service provided by Smart Communications and Globe Telecom. Using a survey, they gathered data from two independent samples. The data below summarizes the average customer satisfaction score (out of 10) towards the quality of services of their mobile providers. The satisfaction score is assumed to be normally distributed with unknown and UNEQUAL population variances. Statistics Smart Communications Globe Telecom Mean 4.20 3.15 Standard Deviation 1.25 2.25 Sample Size 25 20 a) Is there a difference in the average satisfaction scores of subscribers from Smart Communications and Globe Telecom? Make the comparisons at the 10% and 5% levels of significance. b) On average, are subscribers from Smart Communications more satisfied with their service provider than from the subscribers from Globe Telecom? Use the 5% and 1% levels of significance.
A custodian wishes to compare two competing floor waxes to decide which one is best. He believes that the mean of WaxWin is less than the mean of WaxCo. In a random sample of 20 floors of WaxWin and 17 of WaxCo. WaxWin had a mean lifetime of 26.4 with a standard deviation of 8.6 and WaxCo had a mean lifetime of 27.2 with a standard deviation of 6.6. Perform a hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.05 to help him decide. Let WaxWin be sample 1 and WaxCo be sample 2 The correct hypotheses are: Ο Ηο: μι < με HA₁₂(claim) Ο Ηρ: με 2 με HA: 1₂(claim) O Ho: ₁ = ₂ HAM12(claim) Since the level of significance is 0.05 the critical value is -1.69 (round to 3 places) The test statistic is: The p-value is: (round to 3 places)
A technician compares repair costs for two types of microwave ovens (type I and type II). He believes that the repair cost for type I ovens is greater than the repair cost for type II ovens. A sample of 35 type I ovens has a mean repair cost of $80.39. The population standard deviation for the repair of type I ovens is known to be $24.63. A sample of 31 type II ovens has a mean repair cost of $73.47. The population standard deviation for the repair of type II ovens is known to be $10.42. Conduct a hypothesis test of the technician's claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Let i be the true mean repair cost for type I ovens and µz be the true mean repair cost for type II ovens. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
An intercity bus company is attempting to improve the reliability of its service. One manager claims that the variability (i.e., standard deviation) in arrivals from the posted schedule at the central bus depot is approximately 3 minutes. Another manager disagrees, suspecting that the spread in times of arrival is different. Using variance, what is the population parameter under consideration? What hypotheses should the managers test in this situation?
A researcher decides to measure anxiety in group of bullies and a group of bystanders using a 23-item, 3 point anxiety scale. Assume scores on the anxiety scales are normally distributed and the variance among the group of bullies and bystanders are the same. A group of 30 bullies scores an average of 21.5 with a sample standard deviation of 10 on the anxiety scale. A group of 27 bystanders scored an average of 25.8 with a sample standard deviation of 8 on the anxiety scale. You do not have any presupposed assumptions whether bullies or bystanders will be more anxious so you formulate the null and alternative hypothesis based on that.
A manufacturer of producing 50-ounce cookies was interested to inspect whether the the production process is out of control. The process is in control if it produces with variance of the packages between 8.5 and 17.5, otherwise it is out of control and should be adjusted. From a random sample 25 production run, it was found that the variance of the packages is 12.5. Does the data provide any evidence that the process is out of control.
Using traditional methods, it takes 11.7 hours to receive a basic driving license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 23 students and observed that they had a mean of 11.3 hours with a standard deviation of 1.4 A level of significance of 0.1 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Is it reject null hypothesis or fail to reject null hypothesis
A basketball coach believes that the variance of the heights of adult male basketball players is different from the variance of heights for the general population of men. The sample variance of heights, measured in inches, for a random sample of 19 basketball players is 14.22. The sample variance for a random sample of 18 other men is 34.49. Assume that both population distributions are approximately normal and test the coach’s claim using a 0.10 level of significance. Does the evidence support the coach’s claim? Let male basketball players be Population 1 and men in general be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. H0: σ21=σ22: Ha: σ21⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯σ22 Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to four decimal places. Step 3 of 3: Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
