In 2018, a study was conducted that stated that the average commute time to work for Kern County residents was 22.6 minutes. Suppose you were hired to determine if the average commute time is different than it was in 2018. You randomly sample 87 individuals who commute to work from Kern county and you find that their average commute time was 20.8 minutes and you find the standard deviation of commute times for those 87 individuals was 3.6 minutes. Carry out the appropriate hypothesis test at the a = 0.05 level of significance to determine if the average commute time differs from what it was in 2018.

Most graduate schools of business require applicants for admission to take the Graduate Management Admission Council's GMAT examination. Scores on the GMAT are roughly normally distributed with a mean of 527 and a standard deviation of 112. If a prestigious business school will only take those students who score in the top 5%, what score would you need to have to be accepted? You would need a score of or higher (round to the nearest whole number)
One year Terry had the lowest ERA (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings pitched) of any male pitcher at his school, with an ERA of 3.02. Also, Karen had the lowest ERA of any female pitcher at the school with an ERA of 3.24. For the males, the mean ERA was 4.364 and the standard deviation was 0.639. For the females, the mean ERA was 3.801 and the standard deviation was 0.959 Find their respective z-scores. Which player had the better year relative to their peers, Terry or Karen? (Note: In general, the lower the ERA, the better the pitcher.) Terry had an ERA with a z-score of Karen had an ERA with a z-score of (Round to two decimal places as needed) Which player had a better year in comparison with their peers? OA. Terry had a better year because of a higher z-score. OB. Karen had a better year because of a lower z-score. OC. Terry had a better year because of a lower z-score. O D. Karen had a better year because of a higher z-score. GIL
According to the historical data, the life expectancy in Belgium is less than the life expectancy in the United States. A new study has been made to see whether this has changed. Records of 260 individuals from Belgium who died recently are selected at random. The 260 individuals lived a mean of 78.4 years with a standard deviation of 8.8 years. Records of 285 individuals from the United States who died recently are selected at random and independently. The 285 Individuals lived a mean of 76.5 years with a standard deviation of 7.4 years. Assume that the population standard deviations of lifetimes in these two countries can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, as the samples used were quite large. Construct a 95% confidence interval for ₁-₂, the difference between the life expectancy μ₁ in Belgium and the life expectancy μ₂ in the United States. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three…
Suppose that in the population of all healthy humans, body temperature follows a normal distribution with mean 98.2 and standard deviation of 0.5. Suppose a random sample of 20 healthy humans is taken. Which sample mean body temperature would be higher than 40% of all sample me and Body temperatures?
Paint used to paint lines on roads must reflect enough light to be clearly visible at night. Researchers have 2 new types of paints they want to test paint type A and paint type B. For each paint type, they tested if there was statistical evidence the average reflectometer reading is greater than 35. To test each type of paint, they used 15 paint samples. Further, suppose the standard deviation is the same for both types of paints. The sample mean for paint type A was 39 and the sample mean for paint type B was 41.5. For both statistical tests, the significance level is set to .05.Which of the following is true? If they fail to reject the null hypothesis for paint type A we can conclude there is statistical evidence the average reflectometer for type A paint is 35. The p-value for the type B paint test is smaller. They rejected the null hypothesis for both paint types. Exactly two of the statements above are true. None are true.
Suppose a researcher wants to test if the average diastolic blood pressure in Irish-Americans is different than the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population. Note that the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population is 70 mmHG. The researcher recruits 30 Irish-Americans into this particular study and then measures each of their diastolic blood pressures (mmHG). The population of this sample has a standard deviation equal to 3.0. What is the two-sided alternative hypothesis? (in words) Group of answer choices The mean is different than 70 The mean is different than 73 The mean is greater than 70 The mean is greater than 73
Many people consider their smart phone to be essential! Communication, news, Internet, entertainment, photos, and just keeping current are all conveniently possible with a smart phone. However, the battery better be charged or the phone is useless. Battery life of course depends on the frequency, duration, and type of use. One study involving heavy use of the phones showed the mean of the battery life to be 11.25 hours with a standard deviation of 3.3 hours. Then the battery needs to be recharged. Assume the battery life between charges is normally distributed. (a) Find the probability that with heavy use, the battery life exceeds 12 hours. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) You are planning your recharging schedule so that the probability your phone will die is no more than 5%. After how many hours should you plan to recharge your phone? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an hour.) hours
Nintendo is doing a classic game competition for the anniversary of Super Mario Bros. The average runtime for a straight playthrough is 1 hour and 58 minutes (with a standard deviation of 6 minutes). Out of all of the players who compete in this competition (120 players), the fastest 10% will get a chance at a special reward. What would be the benchmark playthrough time for this competition?
It seems these days that college graduates who are employed full time 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 22 respondents who were college graduates employed full time. The mean number of hours worked per week by these 22 respondents was 43 hours, with a standard deviation of 8 hours. Assume that the population of hours worked per week by college graduates employed full time is normally distributed with mean. Can we conclude that mean is greater than 40 hours? Use the 0.1 level of significance. Perform a one tailed test, and complete the parts below.
Lucille, Rocio, and Cristina are all taking College Mathematics but from different professors. They all recently took a statistics exam and the exam scores were normally distributed in each of their classes. • Lucille's class had an average grade of 78 and the standard deviation was 7. Lucille earned 83.95 on the exam. • Rocio's class had an average grade of 82 and the standard deviation was 3. Rocio earned 86.5 on the exam. • Cristina's class had an average grade of 76 and the standard deviation was 4. Cristina earmed 82.8 on the exam. Since some professors give harder exams than others, these students decided to use statistics to figure out who did the best on their exam. Use the Cumulative Z-Score Table to answer the following questions. Write your answers as a percent with two decimal places. Hint • Lucille's score places her above % of her class. • Rocio's score places her above % of her class. • Cristina's score places her above % of her class.
The honors program at Brad's university only accepts students with an entrance exam score over 400. What percentage of students would be eligible if the students at Brad's school have an average exam score of 250, with a standard deviation of 80?
Forty refrigerators from two different models of a refrigerator manufacturer are compared to see if the smaller model uses less energy than the larger model. The energy was measured in kilowatt hours per month (kwh/mo). From years of testing these models, it is known that the standard deviation of kwh/mo is 34 kwh/mo for the smaller model and 40 kwh/mo for the larger one. From this survey, the sample means and standard deviations are 125 and 34, and 90 and 40, respectively. If we conduct a hypothesis test, the decision and conclusion are Group of answer choices Do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average kwh/mo are the same. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average kwh/mo are different. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average kwh/mo for the smaller refrigerator is higher than for the larger model. Do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average kwh/mo for the smaller refrigerator is higher than for…
