An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint. The designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 225 Fundash runners and 295 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 225 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 63.6 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.0 minutes. The 295 Coolsprint runners complete the course with a mean time of 63.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.9 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.10 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, u, of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time, ,, of Coolsprint? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H.

Question

An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint. The designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is
not equal to the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 225 Fundash runners and 295 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as random
samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 225 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 63.6 minutes and a standard deviation of
3.0 minutes. The 295 Coolsprint runners complete the course with a mean time of 63.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.9 minutes. Assume that the
population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute
them are quite large. At the 0.10 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, µ, of Fundash is not
equal to the mean completion time, u,, of Coolsprint? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

Before going to college, Chelsea wanted to see if she could sell her old car online. She selected a sample of the prices on 25 similar cars sold online in the past month. Later, Chelsea realized that the lowest-priced car in the sample was mistakenly recorded as half the price it actually sold for. However, after correcting the error, the corrected price was still less than or equal to any other car price in her sample. Which of the following sample statistics must have remained the same after the correction was made? Select one: 1.Range 2.Median 3.Mode 4.Variance 5.Mean

A contributor for the local newspaper is writing an article for the weekly fitness section. To prepare for the story, she conducts a study to compare the exercise habits of people who exercise in the morning to the exercise habits of people who work out in the afternoon or evening. She selects three different health centers from which to draw her samples. The 6060 people she sampled who work out in the morning have a mean of 3.33.3 hours of exercise each week. The 4747 people surveyed who exercise in the afternoon or evening have a mean of 3.43.4 hours of exercise each week. Assume that the weekly exercise times have a population standard deviation of 0.40.4 hours for people who exercise in the morning and 0.70.7 hours for people who exercise in the afternoon or evening. Let Population 1 be people who exercise in the morning and Population 2 be people who exercise in the afternoon or evening.

The state Government gives grants to low-income undergraduate students. According to the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education in 2008, the average Pell grant award for 2007-2008 was $2,600. We wonder if the mean amount is different this year for Pell grant recipients at San Jose State University. Suppose that we randomly select 50 Pell grant recipients from San Jose State University. For these 50 students, the mean Pell grant award is $2,450 with a standard deviation of $600. Let µ = the mean amount of Pell grant awards received by San Jose State University Pell grant recipients this year. We test the hypotheses: H0: μ = 2,600 , Ha: μ ≠ 2,600. The sample size is greater than 30, so a t-model is a good fit for the sampling distribution. What is the t-test statistic? What is the P-value?
Use the following information to answer the question. Many couples believe that it is getting too expensive to host an "average" wedding in the United States. According to the website www.costofwedding.com,theaveragecostofaweddingintheU.S.in 2009 was $24,066. Recently, in a random sample of 40 weddings in the U.S. it was found that the average cost of a wedding was $23,224, with a standard deviation of $2,903. On the basis of this, a 9 5% confidence interval for the mean cost of weddings in the U.S. is $22,296 to $24,152. Does the confidence interval provide evidence that the mean cost of a wedding has decreased? Explain your reasoning.

An adventure company runs two obstacle courses, Fundash and Coolsprint. The designer of the courses suspects that the mean completion time of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time of Coolsprint. To test this, she selects 205 Fundash runners and 300 Coolsprint runners. (Consider these as random samples of the Fundash and Coolspring runners.) The 205 Fundash runners complete the course with a mean time of 76.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.3 minutes. The 300 Coolsprint runners complete the course with a mean time of 77.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 5.1 minutes. Assume that the population standard deviations of the completion times can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time, ,, of Fundash is not equal to the mean completion time, μ₂, of Coolsprint?

Cris Turlock owns and manages a small business in San Francisco, California. The business provides breakfast and brunch food, via carts parked along sidewalks, to people in the business district of the city. Being an experienced businessperson, Cris provides incentives for the salespeople operating the food carts. This year, she plans to offer monetary bonuses to her salespeople based on their individual mean daily sales. Her first task is to see if there is a significant difference in the mean daily sales among the different salespeople. She chooses a "sample" of days for each salesperson and records the sales for each day. She then runs a one-way, independent-samples ANOVA test to determine whether or not she can conclude that at least one salesperson's performances is significantly different from the others. (Otherwise, she'll split the bonuses evenly among all the salespeople.) In her ANOVA, the "groups" are the different salespeople, and the variable of interest is the daily sales…
