Many students claim that more students are attending classes as they do not have much to do outside the hostel rooms because of the restricted movements due to the pandemic. In a sample of 50, the average time spent outside the hostel rooms per student per day comes to be 3.5 hours with a standard deviation of 2 hours. na survey conducted last year by taking a sample of 50 students, this average time was 12.5 iours with a standard deviation of 2 hours. However, this time includes the face-to-face lasses and other meetings of 7 hours daily. All these classes and meetings are taking place inline now. Can it be concluded that the average time spent outside the room per student per lay last year, other than for classes and meetings, is at least 1.5 times the average time spent iutside per student per day this year?

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…

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 average number of calories from a fast food meal for adults in the US is 842 calories. A nutritionist believes that the average is higher than reported. They sampled 32 meals that adults ordered and found the sample mean to be 858 calories with a standard deviation of 49 calories. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
A sports writer wants to see if a football filled with helium travels farther, on average, than a football filled with air. 12 footballs were filled with helium to the recommend pressure and 15 footballs were filled with air to the recommended pressure. The mean yardage for the helium filled footballs was 267 yards with a standard deviation of 3 yards. The mean yardage for the air filled footballs was 241 yards with a standard deviation of 5 yards. Assume the populations are normal with equal variances. (a). Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean difference in in yardage for the two types of footballs Lower bound (use 3 decimal places) Upper bound (use 3 decimal places) (b). What can you conclude about the sports writer's idea that helium footballs travel farther, on average? The helium footballs are no different than the other footballs, on average The other footballs travel farther on average than the helium footballs The helium footballs travel farther on average than the…

A blood bank is conducting a study on how much time is required of their patients for blood platelet donations. Based on past records, time spent in the waiting room has a mean of 5 minutes and a standard deviation of 1 minute, time spent with a nurse who reviews patients' medical records and measures their vital signs has a mean of 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes, and the actual donation time has a mean of 130 minutes and a standard deviation of 8 minutes. Assuming these three times are independent and can all be modeled using a normal distribution, approximately what proportion of donors finish the entire donation process in under 2.5 hours (150 minutes)? (A) 0.66 (B) 0.72 (C) 0.84 (D) 0.89 (E) 0.99

According to a report published by the USDA 3 years ago, a typical American consumes an average of 26 pounds of ice cream per year. A researcher at the USDA would like to determine if the average amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American has changed since the original report was published. The researcher collected data from a random sample of 65 Americans and found that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by the sample was 25.54 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.64 pounds. Using α=0.02, test the hypothesis that the mean amount of ice cream consumed each year by a typical American is different than 26 pounds. Use the p-value method. State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test. H0= H1= Determine the test statistic for the hypothesis test. Round the solution to four decimal places. =
