A student at Tolland High School wondered if boys or girls at her school traveled a greater distance to college. The student randomly selected 50 boys and 50 girls and found the distance each boy and girl travels to college. What type of interval should the student use to compute the difference in the average distances between how far boys and girls from Tolland High School travel to college?

A busy grocery store in San Antonio captures the time per item it takes to check out customers during their peak time. (The total time for the customer was divided by the number of items for that customer. If a customer took 8 minutes, or 480 seconds, to check out and purchased 24 items, the time would be 20). A sample of times is calculated for each cashier. They want to compare 2 cashiers. The following are the average time per item scanned in seconds for each cashier: Cashier 1 Cashier 2 Time per Item Scanned Time per Item Scanned 20 24 10 16 52 19 60 55 65 45 58 36 40 5 38 29 40 52 25 45 35 15 40 19 35 28 27 28 15 30 16 28 18 19 Compare the following (a through k) for these two cashiers and then help the store determine which of the two cashiers has better metrics (explain why): Cashier 1 Cashier 2 a.

At the stadium, there are three lines for arriving customers, each staffed by a single worker. The arrival rate for customers is 140 per minute and each customer takes (on average) 1.1 seconds for a worker to process. The coefficient of variation for arrival time is 1.4 and the coefficient of variation for service time is 1. (Round your answerto three decimal places.) How much time (in seconds will an average customer spend in queue? seconds

When the measure of spread is compared between two data sets, data set A has an interquartile range of 12, and data set B has an interquartile range of 23. How do the values of data set A compare to data set B? The values of data set A are about the same on average as the values of data set B. The values of data set A are more spread out compared to the values of data set B. The values of data set A are less spread out compared to the values of data set B. The values of data set A are less on average compared to the values of data set B.
A student pursuing a degree in English as a second language believes the proportion female factory workers who can't speak English is less than the proportion of male factory workers who can't speak English. To test her claim she randomly selects 373 female factory workers and out of them 43 could not speak English. She then randomly selects 215 male factory workers and out of them 65 could not speak English. Test her claim at .=0.05 to see if she was right. The correct hypotheses are: H : PF Pu (claim) H : PF 2 PM HA: PF < Pr (claim) H : PF = PM HA: PF + PM (claim) Since the level of signficance s0.05 the critical value is-1.64s The test statistic is pound to 3 places) The pvalue is round to 3 places) The decision can be made to oreject H, odo not reject í, The final conclusion is that: There is enough evidence to reject the claim that the proportion female factory workers who can't speak English is less than the proportion of male factory workers who can't speak English.
