Let x represent the average annual salary of college and university professors (in thousands of dollars) in the United States. For all colleges and universities in the United States, the population variance of x is approximately o² = 47.1. However, a random sample of 17 colleges and universities in Kansas showed that x has a sample variance s² = 82.7. Use a 5% level of significance 1 test the claim that the variance for colleges and universities in Kansas is greater than 47.1. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. Ho: o²=47.1; H: o> 47.1 Ho: o²=47.1; H: o2 0.100 0.050 a, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-value > x, we reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-values ∞, we reject the null hypothesis. Since the P-values a, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. (e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application. At the 5% level of significance, there is insufficient evidence to conclude the variance of annual salaries…
The weight of goods shipped in containers of a certain size is a normally distributed random variable. It is known that 65% of the containers have a net weight above 4,98 tons, and 45% of containers net weight above 5,2 tons. Find the mean and standard deviation of the net weight containers.

Let x be a random variable that represents the pH of CVS brand water. The mean of this x distribution is µ = 6.5 pH. A new company wants to sell its water at CVS locations. However, CVS management believes that the new brand will have a mean pH less than the CVS brand water. A random sample of 50 water samples were taken from this new company's water and it was found that the sample mean was 6.3 pH and the sample standard deviation was s = 0.5 pH. Do the data indicate that the new company's water has a mean pH level less than 6.5, which is the pH of the CVS brand water. Use a 5% significance level. Identify the following in your answer. 1. Identify the null Ho and alternative hypotheses H1 for the problem. 2. Identify the following: Sample statistic • Test Statistic (t): (Round to three decimal places) p - value: (Round to four places) • Calculator key used. 3. Identify the significance level and determine if you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. 4. State your conclusion.
An X random variable comes from any distribution with 21 averages and 17 variances. What is the probability that a sample of 45 randomly selected from this stack has a sample mean between 20 and 26? Calculate.
Executives of a supermarket chain are interested in the amount of time that customers spend in the stores during shopping trips. The mean shopping time, μ, spent by customers at the supermarkets has been reported to be 38 minutes, but executives have good reason to believe that u is different from 38 minutes. The executives hire a statistical consultant and ask her to perform a statistical test. To perform her statistical test, the consultant collects a random sample of shopping times at the supermarkets. She computes the mean of these times to be 44 minutes and the standard deviation of the times to be 10 minutes. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) what are the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁ that should be used for the test? Ho H₁ :0 (b) Suppose that the consultant decides not to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might she be making? (Choose one) ▼ (c) Suppose the true mean shopping time spent by customers at the supermarkets is…
Rods are produced in large quantities in a factory. The masses of these rods are normally distributed with mean 250g and variance 9g. A random sample of 100 rods is selected. Find the probability that the mean mass of the rods in the sample will lie between 249g and 251g. If the rods are produced in batches of n and a batch is selected at random, find the least value of n such that the probability that the mean mass of the rods in the batch will lie between 249g and 251g is greater than 0.95.
