The average length of stay of a sample of 20 patients discharged from a general hospital was 7 days with a standard deviation of 2 days. A sample of 22 patients discharged from a chronic disease hospital had an average length of stay of 36 days with a standard deviation of 10 days. Assume that you sampled from normally distributed populations with equal variances. Find the 90% confidence interval for the difference between the average length of hospital stays between these two populations. Use a pooled variance of 54.4. Round the value of your reliability coefficient to three decimal places.
Part Variability is critical in the manufacturing of the ball bearings. Large variances in the size of the ball bearings cause bearing failure and rapid wear out. Production standards call for a maximum variance of .0001 when the bearing sizes are measured in inches. A sample of 15 bearings shows a sample standard deviation of .014. a. Compute the 90% confidence interval estimate of the variance of the ball bearings in the population. b. Use a= 0.10 to determine whether the sample indicates that the maximum acceptable variance is being exceeded. Use critical value approach. ( Note: You must state null and alternative hypotheses, compute the test statistic, Report the critical Value, and draw a conclusion.
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.
It seems these days that college graduates who are employed FT work more than 40-hour weeks. Data are available that can help us decide if this is true. A survey was recently sent to a group of adults selected at random. There were 15 respondents who were college graduates employed FT. The mean number of hours worked per week by these 15 respondents was 44 hours, with a standard deviation of 8 hours. Assume that the population of hours worked per week by college graduates employed FT normally distributed with mean u. Can we conclude that u is greater than 40 hours? Use the 0.1 level of significance. Perform a one-tailed test. Carry intermediate computations to 3 or more decimal places and round answers as specified.
For each scenario, indicate whether the parameter of interest is one proportion , a difference in two proportions , one mean (μ), a difference in means from separate samples , or the mean difference from matched pairs data, . Each answer can be selected once, more than once, or not at all. A tire manufacturer tested the braking performance of one of its tire models on a test track, interested in how tires perform under both wet and dry pavement conditions. The company tried the tires on 18 different car models, recording the stopping distance for half of them on wet pavement and the other half of dry pavement.

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.
