Citrus Rental is a popular car rental agency that has a history of having too few cars available, so that its available cars are overdriven. The mean monthly mileage over the years for Citrus cars has been about 1550 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 20 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 20 mileages was 1540 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 211 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed. At the 0.1 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean recent monthly mileage, µ, of Citrus cars is less than 1550 miles ner month?

A hospital in New York commonly conducts stress tests to study the heart muscle after a person has a heart attack. Members of the diagnostic imaging department conducted a quality improvement project with the objective of reducing the turnaround time for stress tests. Turnaround time is defined as the time from when a test is ordered to when the radiologist signs off on the test results. Initially, the mean turnaround time for a stress test was 68 hours. After incorporating changes into the stress-test process, the quality improvement team collected a sample of 50 turnaround times. In this sample, the mean turnaround time was 32 hours, with a sample standard deviation of 9 hours. (a) Using the critical value approach, if you test the null hypothesis at the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence that the new process has reduced turnaround time? (Be sure to list the null and alternate hypotheses, the value of the test statistic, the decision rule (using the critical value(s)…
PLEASE ANSWER ASAP: A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between physical activity and coronary heart disease (CHD) in men. A total of 406 men newly diagnosed with CHD were included together with 406 men of similar ages who did not have CHD. The risk of CHD (measured by the OR) was higher among men who were inactive or only moderately active (collectively called ‘inactive’) than among those who were physically active: (See attached image) Odds ratio for inactive men compared to active men= (299 x 136)/(270 x 107)=1.41Suppose there is no misclassification in these data.What would the observed OR have been... 1. If 20% of all the inactive men had been misclassified as active? 2. If 10 % of inactive cases had been misclassified as active?
A special education teacher did research on whether or not there is a relationship between the number of students in his class and the number incidents of “acting out” behaviors exhibited by the autistic students in the classroom. He collects data for a year and aggregates them by month. He obtained the statistics below, r= -.863 R2=.74 b= -1.212294 a= 131.176598 10.) How does the presence of more students affect the incidents in the class? a) as students are added the incidences increase b) as students are added the incidences decrease c) the number of students does not affect acting out d) the number of students caused more incidents How much of the variability of acting out is explained by the number of students in the class?___________
Gary has discovered a new painting tool to help him in his work. If he can prove to himself that the painting tool reduces the amount of time it takes to paint a room, he has decided to invest in a tool for each of his helpers as well. From records of recent painting jobs that he completed before he got the new tool, Gary collected data for a random sample of 7 medium-sized rooms. He determined that the mean amount of time that it took him to paint each room was 3.6 hours with a standard deviation of 0.2 hours. For a random sample of 6 medium-sized rooms that he painted using the new tool, he found that it took him a mean of 3.2 hours to paint each room with a standard deviation of 0.3 hours. At the 0.05 level, can Gary conclude that his meantime for painting a medium-sized room without using the tool was greater than his meantime when using the tool? Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal. Let painting times without using the…
Water specimens are taken from water used for cooling as it is being discharged from a power plant into a river. It has been determined that as long as the mean temperature of the discharge is at most 150F, there will be no negative effects on the river's ecosystem. To investigage whether the plant is in compliance with regulations that prohibit a mean discharge water temperature above 150F, researchers will take 50 specimens at randomly selected times and record the temperature of each specimen. The resulting data will be used to test the hypotheses:H0:μ≤150FH0:μ≤150F Ha:μ>150FHa:μ>150F.(a) In the context of this problem, describe Type I and Type II errors.Type I Error:Select an answer A Type I error is not obtaining convincing evidence that the mean water temperature is greater than 150F when in fact it is greater than 150F. A Type I error is obtaining convincing evidence that the mean water temperature is greater than 150F when in fact it is at most 150F. Type II…

Businesses know that customers often respond to background music. Do they also respond to odors? One study of this question took place in a small pizza restaurant in France on two Saturday evenings in May. On one of these evenings, a relaxing lavender odor was spread through the restaurant. On the other evening no scent was used. The data gives the time, in minutes, that two samples of 30 customers spent in the restaurant and the amount they spent in euros. No odor Lavender Minutes Euros spent Minutes Euros spent 103103 15.915.9 9292 21.921.9 6868 18.518.5 126126 18.518.5 7979 15.915.9 114114 22.322.3 106106 18.518.5 106106 21.921.9 7272 18.518.5 8989 18.518.5 121121 21.921.9 137137 24.924.9 9292 15.915.9 9393 18.518.5 8484 15.915.9 7676 22.522.5 7272 15.915.9 9898 21.521.5 9292 15.915.9 108108 21.921.9 8585 15.915.9 124124 21.521.5 6969 18.518.5 105105 18.518.5 7373 18.518.5 129129 25.525.5 8787 18.518.5 103103 18.518.5 109109 20.520.5 107107…

The mean monthly mileage over the years for Citrus cars has been about 1500 miles per month. Recently, though, Citrus purchased thousands of new cars, and the company claims that the average mileage of its cars is now less than in the past. To test this, a random sample of 11 recent mileages of Citrus cars was taken. The mean of these 11 mileages was 1332 miles per month, and the standard deviation was 232 miles per month. Assume that the population of recent monthly mileages of Citrus cars is normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean recent monthly mileage, u, of Citrus cars is less than 1500 miles per month? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (If necessary,…
According to a 2006 survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), birth rates peak slightly between July and October each year. While a slight numerical increase in birth rates is often observed, this difference is assumed to be statistically non-significant. Thus, we would expect to see an equal number of people born during each month of the year in the United States. The "Birth Data.jasp" contains the birth months for 1380 babies (N = 1380) born during the year 2006 in the United States collected by the CDC. Conduct a Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test at α = 0.05, to see if the number of babies born each month “fits” with the CDC’s assumptions about the population. Identify the correct null hypothesis. A. H0: The number of babies born throughout the year is equal across all 12 months B. H0: The number of babies born during the summer months is greater than the number of babies born during the rest of the year C. HA: The number of babies born in…

Check My Work (5 remaining) Each year, over 2 million people in the United States become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. In particular, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention has launched studies of drug-resistant gonorrhea (CDC.gov website). Of 142 cases tested in Alabama, 9 were found to be drug-resistant. Of 268 cases tested in Texas, 5 were found to be drug-resistant. Do these data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug- resistant cases in the two states? Use a 0.02 level of significance. What is the p-value, and what is your conclusion? Test statistic = (to 2 decimals) p-value = (to 4 decimals) Conclusion: Reject the null hypothesis Choose the correct option. There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states. Alabama has the higher drug resistance rate. True
