In a random sample of 35 NFL games the average attendance was 68,729 with a standard deviation of 6,110, while in a random sample of 30 Big 10 Conference football games the average attendance was 70,358 with a standard deviation of 9,139. Is there evidence that the average attendance at Big 10 Conference football games is greater than that at NFL games?

a small company is looking to see if they have reached their goal of $30.20, in saving per family. To see if goal was met their goal they randomly surveyed 50 of their 1000 customers, found that they saved average of $32.12 with a standard deviation of $4.83. Have they attained their saving goal.
The America Automobile Association reported that the mean price of a gallon of regular grade gasoline in the United States in October 2020 was $2.82. An economist is interested in determining whether the mean price of regular grade gasoline is cheaper (less than) in New York State. To test this, the economist sample 50 gas stations in NY and find the mean price of regular grade gasoline to be $2.77. Assume the standard deviation for the price of regular grade gasoline is $0.15. Use the critical value method to perform a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance. a. Define the parameter we are testing and setup a hypothesis test to see if the mean price of gas is cheaper in NY compared to the national mean: b. Calculate the test statistics for this hypothesis test. c.What is the critical value for this hypothesis test?
A car company claims that its new SUV gets better gas mileage than its competitor's SUV. A random sample of 35 of its SUVs has a mean gas mileage of 16.7 miles per gallon (mpg). The population standard deviation is known to be 0.9 mpg. A random sample of 42 competitor's SUVS has a mean gas mileage of 16.4 mpg. The population standard deviation for the competitor is known to be 0.6 mpg. Test the company's claim at the 0.02 level of significance. Let the car company's SUVs be Population 1 and let the competitor's SUVS be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below.

A car company claims that its new SUV gets better gas mileage than its competitor's SUV. A random sample of 49 of its SUVs has a mean gas mileage of 17.1 miles per gallon (mpg). The population standard deviation is known to be 1.3 mpg. A random sample of 33 competitor's SUVS has a mean gas mileage of 16.3 mpg. The population standard deviation for the competitor is known to be 1.6 mpg. Test the company's claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Let the car company be Population 1 and let the competitor be Population 2. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
A study was being conducted to see if people who have no college degree have a lower mean salary than those who do have a college degree. A random sample of 70 people with no college degree was taken and their mean salary was $36,950 with a standard deviation of $4,375. A random sample of 75 people with a college degree was taken and their mean salary was $41,520 with a standard deviation of $3,415.

A local church parish wants to raise money to add to their campus. In a sample from a previous fund raising campaign, the parish found that of the 131 people in the sample they contacted, that 69 actually contributed money. Of those that contributed money, the average contribution was $857 with a standard deviation of $265. In the recent fundraising campaign, a sample of 95 people revealed that 48 have contributed money with an average contribution of $1109 and a standard deviation of $339. When testing (at the 5% level of significance) whether the average amount contributed has increased in the current campaign compared to the previous campaign, what is the test statistic? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
The average credit card debt for a recent year was $8,776. Five years earlier the average credit card debt was $8,189. Assume sample sizes of 32 were used and the population standard deviations of both samples were $690. Is there evidence to conclude that the average credit card debt has increased?
In one city, the average amount of time that tenth-graders spend watching television each week is 23 hours. The principal of Birchwood High School believes it is less for the 10th grade students that at his school. For a sample of 95 tenth-graders from the school, the mean amount of time spent watching television per week was 21.9 hours. Assuming a population standard deviation of 3.1 hours, does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that for all tenth-graders at Birchwood High school, the mean amount of time spent watching television per week is less than the city average of 23 hours? Perform the appropriate hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.005. What are the hypotheses? What is the test statistic? Is it a z or a t? Find the P-value for this test statistic. How does it compare to the significance level? On the normal curve, indicate the location of the test statistic and the p-value. (label them on the graph) Write…
Assume a media agency reports that it takes television streaming service subscribers in the U.S. an average of 6.60 days to watch the entire first season of a television series, with a standard deviation of 4.21 days. Scarlett is an analyst for an online television and movie streaming service company that targets to the 18-50 age bracket. She wants to determine if her company's customers exhibit shorter viewing rates for their series offerings. Scarlett plans to conduct a one-sample ?-z-test, with significance level of ?=0.05α=0.05, to test the null hypothesis, ?0:?=6.60 daysH0:μ=6.60 days, against the alternative hypothesis, ?1:?<6.60 days.H1:μ<6.60 days. The variable ?μ is the mean amount of time, in days, that it takes for customers to watch the first season of a television series. Scarlett selects a simple random sample of 740 customers who watched the first season of a television series from the company database of over 25,000 customers that qualified. She compiles the…
A research article reported that for a random sample of 850 meal purchases made at fast food chain A, the mean number of calories was 1,004, and the standard deviation was 489. For a random sample of 2,108 meal purchases made at fast food chain B, the mean number of calories was 905, and the standard deviation was 622. Based on these samples, is there convincing evidence that the mean number of calories in fast food chain B meal purchases is less than the mean number of calories in fast food chain A meal purchases? (Test the relevant hypotheses using a 0.05 level of significance. Use ?1 for fast food chain B and ?2 for fast food chain A.) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use SALT. Round your test statistic to one decimal place and your P-value to three decimal places.) t= P-value= State the conclusion in the problem context. We fail to reject H0. There is convincing evidence that the mean number of calories in fast food…
A college admissions officer believes that students enrolling from Shawnee school District have higher SAT scores than those who enroll from West River School District. A sample of 30 students from each district is selected. The average SAT score for the group from the Shawnee district is 656 with a standard deviation of 100. The average SAT score for the group from the West River district is 560 with a standard deviation of 90. Is the belief of the admissions officer substantiated?
On their website, a property management company states that the mean monthly rent for apartments on the east side of town is $750. A researcher for a consumer advocacy group believes that, due to the construction of newer apartment complexes in neighboring towns, the mean monthly rent on the east side, H, is now lower. A random sample of 11 monthly rents for apartments on the east side has a mean of $737, with a standard deviation of $22. Assume that current monthly rents for apartments on the east side are approximately normally distributed. Based on the sample, is there enough evidence to conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the population mean monthly rent is now less than what is stated the website? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places.
