HYPOTHESIS TESTING 1.) One of the undersecretaries of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) claims that the average civil engineer is earning more than Php 18,000 monthly. A sample of 19 civil engineer's salary has a mean of Php 17,350 and a standard deviation of Php 1,230. Is there enough evidence to reject the undersecretary's claim at a = 0.01? Please follow the proper 5-step format for your solution.

The U.S. Center for Disease Control reports that the mean life expectancy was 47.6 years for whites born in 1900 and 33.0 years for nonwhites. Suppose that you randomly survey death records for people born in 1900 in a certain county. Of the 124 whites, the mean life span was 45.3 years with a standard deviation of 12.7 years. Of the 82 nonwhites, the mean life span was 34.1 years with a standard deviation of 15.6 years. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to see if the mean life spans in the county were the same for whites and nonwhites. a) The null and alternative hypothesis would be: O Ho: Pw = PN H1: Pw > PN Mil :ºH H1: Hw + HN %3D O Ho: Pw H1: Pw µN Ho: µw H1: µw 0.05 d) Make a decision.

A Statistics instructor wanted to compare the scores on the same final exam given to students at a local community college and local university. The Statistics instructor feels that students at the community college would be better prepared and have higher exam scores on the final exam. After grading the final exams from both institutions, the Statistics instructor found that for a sample of 36 community college students, the sample had a mean score of 84 with a standard deviation of 3.4. A sample of 45 university students had a mean score 79 with a standard deviation of 2.6. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between population mean exam scores. Round your final results to one decimal place. _____________ ≤ ??? − ????? ≤ ______________
According to records kept by Mariposa County, the average (mean) amount of time that it takes for employees to be reimbursed for professional expenses incurred in service to the county is 36 days, with a standard deviation of 5 days. The distribution is normal. The head of the Mariposa County Accounting Department wants to establish a standard regarding the length of time that employees can expect to wait to receive reimbursement for professional expenses. She wants to publish a standard that states the number of days it takes the department to process 98% of the claims filed. Help the department head find that standard.
In 2019, College Board reported that the mean score for the math section of the SAT was 528 with a standard deviation of 110. A math department at local university would like to give a scholarship to any student that scored in the top 2.5% of students in the math section. What is the minimum score needed to get this scholarship? Assume the scores are normally distributed. A/

The U.S. Center for Disease Control reports that in year 1900, the mean life expectancy is 47.6 years for whites and 33 years for nonwhites. (Click here for reference data) Suppose a survey of randomly selected death records for white and nonwhite people born in 1900 from a certain county is conducted. Of the 110 whites surveyed, the mean life span was 48.2 years with a standard deviation of 11.2 years and of the 95 nonwhites, the mean life span was 39.3 years with a standard deviation of 16 years. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to determine whether there was no difference in mean life spans in the county for whites and nonwhites in year 1900. Preliminary: Is it safe to assume thatnw≤5% of all white people born in 1900 andnnw≤5% of all nonwhite people born in 1900? No Yes Is nw≥30 and nnw≥30 ?

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean salary for registered nurses in Kentucky was $57,688. The distribution of salaries is assumed to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of $5,879. Someone would like to determine if registered nurses in Ohio have a greater average pay. To investigate this claim, a sample of 192 registered nurses is selected from the Ohio Board of Nursing, and each is asked their annual salary. The mean salary for this sample of 192 nurses is found to be $58,016.005. 1. Completely describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean salary when samples of size 192 are selected. 2. What conjecture has been made? 3. Using the distribution described in part a, what is the probability of observing a sample mean of 58,016.005 or more? 4. Based on the probability found, what conclusion can be reached?
