It is believed that the average height of General Engineering (GE) students is 1.72 meters, which is 0.07 meters higher than Development Communication (DC) students with standard deviations of 0.34 meters and 0.30 meters respectively. An instructor verified this fact by obtaining 49 GE students and 36 DC students, having the average height of 1.75 meters and 1.66 meters. Is there an evidence that the instructor can circumvent the fact at 5% level of significance? 1. What is the level of significance of the problem? 2. What is the critical value of the problem?

According to a leasing firm's reports, the mean number of miles driven annually in its leased cars is 12,940 miles with a standard deviation of 2920 miles. The company recently starting using new contracts which require customers to have the cars serviced at their own expense. The company's owner believes the mean number of miles driven annually under the new contracts, µ, is less than 12,940 miles. He takes a random sample of 50 cars under the new contracts. The cars in the sample had a mean of 12,340 annual miles driven. Is there support for the claim, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the population mean number of miles driven annually by cars under the new contracts, is less than 12.940 miles? Assume that the population standard deviation of miles driven annually was not affected by the change to the contracts. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified…

A famous welfare association in Karachi claims that it takes 9 minutes on average to reach its destination in emergency situations. To test this claim, the agency which licences ambulance services had them timed on 50 emergency calls, getting a mean of 10.4 minutes with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. At the 5% significance level test the claim that the average time the ambulance takes to reach its destination is 9 minutes.
According to a leasing firm's reports, the mean number of miles driven annually in its leased cars is 12,920 miles with a standard deviation of 2280 miles. The company recently starting using new contracts which require customers to have the cars serviced at their own expense. The company's owner believes the mean number of miles driven annually under the new contracts, u, is less than 12,920 miles. He takes a random sample of 80 cars under the new contracts. The cars in the sample had a mean of 12,842 annual miles driven.

A professional skier was trying to decide whether to use a new racing wax for cross-countryskis. He decided that the wax would be worth the price if he could average less than 55seconds to ski a course he knew well, so he planned to test the wax by racing on the course 8times. His sample of race times found a mean of 53.1 seconds, and standard deviation 7.0seconds. Is this sufficient evidence he should he buy the wax? Test at a .10 significancelevel.
The heights of women are normally distributed with a mean of 63.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. (show all work) To be considered extremely tall, a woman’s height must fall in the top 2% for all heights of women. What is the benchmark height for this designation? To be considered extremely short, a woman’s height must fall in the bottom 2% for all heights of women. What is the benchmark height for this designation?
The Fair Isaac Cooperation (FICO) credit score is used by banks and other lenders to determine whether someone is a good credit risk. Scores range from 330 to 850, with a score of 720 or more indicating that a person is a very good credit risk. An economist wants to determine whether the mean FICO score is lower than the cutoff of 720. She finds that a random sample of 60 people had a mean FICO score of 685 with a standard deviation of 80. Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is less than 720? Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method
A survey found that women`s heights are normally distributed with a mean of 62.7 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. The survey also found that men`s heights are normally distributed with a mean of 67.3 inches and a standard deviation of 3.1 inches. Most of the live characters employed at an amusement park have height requirements of a minimum of 56 inches. and a maximum of 63 inches. a) Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. Round to 2 decimal places if needed.
Your research group has been hired to determine if college men and women drink different amounts of soft drinks at Illinois State University. After a careful study, your group has determined that males drink an average of 12 sodas per week with a standard deviation of 3.5 whereas female students drink an average of 9 soft drinks per week with a standard deviation of 2 sodas. The sample size of males is 200 and the sample size of females is 200. Based on this information, your group calculates the z-score to be: [____].
A large supermarket produces its own store brand strawberry jam. Last year the machines used to produce the jam were refurbished. Since then the supermarket has been receiving a lot of complaints from unhappy customers that there is not enough jam in the container. The machine is calibrated for 380gr with a standard deviation of 15gr. The label on the cream says there is minimum of 375gr. The management has decided to change the labels on the jam and requires no more than 10% of jars to be under the advertised contents. What should be printed on the label as minimum amount?
A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of eight ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. BIG Corporation would like to estimate the mean amount of coffee, H, dispensed per cup by this machine. BIG will choose a random sample of cup amounts 00 dispensed by this machine and use this sample to estimate H. Assuming that the standard deviation of cup amounts dispensed by this machine is 0.43 ounces, what is the minimum sample size needed in order for BIG to be 95% confident that its estimate is within 0.07 ounces of µ? Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements). (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
