A study was conducted to reassess boarding times of flights. The consulting firm given the task of conducting the study decides that a simple random sample of flights is too time consuming. nstead, the firm chooses a convenience sample of flights during Christmas break when passengers are more cheerful and less likely to be annoyed by the presence of someone with a stopwatch. The company found boarding times to take an average of = 50 minutes. The staff scheduling the flights vere somewhat surprised; a previous study (a simple random sample) had shown boarding times to ake an average of 38 minutes. A likely explanation is that:

A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of eight ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain.BIG Corporation would like to estimate the mean amount of coffee, μ, dispensed per cup by this machine. BIG will choose a random sample of cup amounts dispensed by this machine and use this sample to estimate μ. Assuming that the standard deviation of cup amounts dispensed by this machine is 0.42 ounces, what is the minimum sample size needed in order for BIG to be 90% confident that its estimate is within 0.07 ounces of μ? Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements).
Do wearable devices that monitor diet and physical activity help people lose weight? Researchers had 237 subjects, already involved in a program of diet and exercise, use wearable technology for 24 months. They measured their weight (in kilograms) before using the technology and 24 months after using the technology. (a) Explain why the proper procedure to compare the mean weight before using the wearable technology and 24 months after using the wearable technology is a matched pairs t test. Choose the correct explanation. A person's weight before and after wearing the device would not be independent; thus, the data from this before and after study should be analyzed using a matched pairs t test. O A person's weight before and after wearing the device would be independent; thus, the data from this before and after study should be analyzed using a matched pairs t test.

3) Last year, the mean running time for a certain type of flash light battery was 8.5 hours. This year, the manufacturer has introduced a change in the production method which he hopes will change the mean running time. A random sample of 40 of the new light bulbs was obtained and the mean running time was found to be 8.7 hours. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean running time of the new light bulbs is different from last year's mean of 8.5 hours? Perform the appropriate hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.05. Assume that standard deviation of running time of all new light bulb batteries of this type is 0.5 hours.
A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of eight ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. BIG Corporation would like to estimate the mean amount of coffee, H, dispensed per cup by this machine. BIG will choose a random sample of cup amounts 00 dispensed by this machine and use this sample to estimate H. Assuming that the standard deviation of cup amounts dispensed by this machine is 0.43 ounces, what is the minimum sample size needed in order for BIG to be 95% confident that its estimate is within 0.07 ounces of µ? Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements).
