Extensi ve monitoring of a computer time-sharing system has suggest ed that response time to a particular editing command is normally distributed with standard deviations of 35 milliseconds. A new oper ating system has been inst alled, and we wish to estimate the true average response time u for the new environment. Assuming that response times are still normally distributied with o = 35, what sample size is necessary to ensure that the reslting 95% confidence interval has a margin of error of at most 7?

A manager of a pizza restaurant has changed the restaurant's delivery process in an effort to reduce the mean time between the order and completion of delivery from the current 30 minutes. A sample of 36 orders using the new delivery process yields a sample mean of 27.3 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 6 minutes. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Using the critical value approach, at the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence that the population mean delivery time has been reduced below the previous population mean value of 30 minutes?

To test for any significant difference in the mean number of hours between breakdowns for four machines, the following data were obtained. Excel File: data13-19.xlsx 1.62 Difference Absolute Value 1 - 2 The mean times between breakdowns are 7.1, 9.1, 9.9 and 11.4 hours respectively. In the analysis of variance, MSTR = for a significant difference between all pairs of means. Assume that a maximum overall experiment error rate of .05 is desired. There are six pairwise comparisons among the 4 machines. What error rate should be used for each pairwise comparison (to 4 decimals)? 0.0490 Using t = 2.927 for the above error rate, calculate the Bonferroni LSD value (to 2 decimals).

The US energy information administration claim that United States residential customers use an average of 10951 kW hours of electricity this year. A local power company believes that residents in their area use more electricity on average then EIA's reported average. To test their claim the company chooses a random sample of a 184 of their customers and calculate that these customers use an average of 11162 kW hours of electricity last year. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 1263 kWh,is there sufficient evidence to support the power company's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision. A. We fail to reject the noble hypothesis and conclude that there is insufficient evidence at 0.05 level of significance to support the power company's claim that the mean amount of electricity to their residents is more than a national average. B. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there are sufficient evidence at 0.05…
An incubation period is a time between when you contract a virus and when your symptoms start. Assume that the population of incubation periods for a novel coronavirus has an unknown population standard deviation. By surveying randomly selected local hospitals, a researcher was able to obtain a sample of incubation periods of 40 patients with the average of the data of 9 days and the standard deviation of 3 days. At 10% significance level, test the claim that the average incubation period of the novel coronavirus is different from 7 days.
A very large company is interested in its employees' productivity. The company reports from its historical data that its employees spend a mean of 164 minutes per employee (on a typical day) dealing with email. To test this claim, an independent consultant chooses 26 employees at random and finds that those employees spend a sample mean of 172 minutes dealing with email, with a sample standard deviation of 21 minutes. Assume that the population of amounts of time employees spend dealing with email is approximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level of significance, to reject the claim that u, the mean number of minutes employees spend dealing with email, is equal to 164. (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that you would use for the test. Ho: I H: OSO D=D (b) Perform at test and find the p-value. Here is some information to help you with your t test.
Medical research has shown that repeated wrist extension beyond 20 degrees increases the risk of wrist and hand injuries. Each of 24 students at a university used a proposed new computer mouse design, and while using the mouse, each student's wrist extension was recorded. Data consistent with summary values given in a paper are shown. Use these data with the resulting sample mean 25.750000 and sample standard deviation 1.870829, to test the hypothesis that the mean wrist extension for people using this new mouse design is greater than 20 degrees.

An SRS of 20 orangutans is selected, and 65 cc of blood is to be drawn from each orangutan using a 100 cc syringe. In the sample, the mean volume is 64 cc and the standard deviation is 12 cc. Assume that in the population of all such procedures, the amount of blood drawn follows ą Normal distribution with mean u. A 90% confidence interval for the population mean volume based on these data is
Facebook: A study showed that two years ago, the mean time spent per visit to Facebook was 20.8 minutes, Assume the standard devlation is o= 8.0 minutes. Suppose that a simple random sample of 107 visits was selected this year and has a sample mean of x= 18.8 minutes. A social scientist is interested to know whether the mean time of Facebook visits has decreased. Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the critical value method with the table. (a) State the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses. (b) Compute the value of the test statistic. (c) State a conclusion. Use the a = 0.10 level of significance.
The manufacturer of Suzanne Space Saver tables finds that the mean time needed by online buyers to assemble the tables is 1 hour with a standard deviation of 0.25 hours. The design team of the firm has developed a new manual to reduce the time needed to assemble the table by its buyers. To test the effectiveness of the new manual, the team selects and gives 20 buyers the new manual to use. The sampled buyers take a mean of 0.45 hours to assemble each table. Assuming that the population is normally distributed, and using the 0.05 level of significance, determine and interpret the p value for the test and state whether we should conclude that the new manual is effective.
Are juvenile defendants who are released pending adjudication processed more slowly than those who are detained? The JDCC data set records whether a juvenile was released and the number of months it took for that juvenile’s case to reach a disposition. The sample will be narrowed to black female youth. Released juveniles (Sample 1) had a mean of 4.30 months to disposition (s = 3.86, N = 123) and detained juveniles (Sample 2) had a mean of 3.57 (s = 4.20, N = 64). Using an alpha level of .01, test the hypothesis that released juveniles’ mean time-to-adjudication is significantly greater than detained juveniles’ mean. Assume equal population variances. Use all five steps.
