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?

A state fish hatchery raises trout for stocking streams and lakes. The size of the fish at release time canbe controlled to a fair degree by varying the rate of feeding. The target is a mean of 14 ounces; if the fishare too small, those who catch the fish aren’t happy. A random sample of 82 fish were weighed at time ofrelease and it was determined that the mean was 13.78 ounces with a standard deviation of 1.84 ounces.Test to determine if the fish being released have a population mean less than 14 ounces at the 0.05significance level.
The Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) credit score is used by banks and other lenders to determine whether someone is a good credit risk. Scores range from 300 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 695 with a standard deviation of 65. Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is less than 720? Use the =α0.05 level of significance and the P -value method. State the appropriate null and alternate hyopthesis
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) is an organic pollutant that can be found in electrical equipment. A certain kind of small capacitor contains PCB with a mean of 47.7 ppm (parts per million) and a standard deviation of 8 ppm. A governmental agency takes a random sample of 37 of these small capacitors. The agency plans to regulate the disposal of such capacitors if the sample mean amount of PCB is 49.5 ppm or more. Find the probability that the disposal of such capacitors will be regulated. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.

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…

The company's owner believes the mean number of miles driven annually under the new contracts, , is less than miles. He takes a random sample of cars under the new contracts. The cars in the sample had a mean of annual miles driven. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Is there support for the claim, at the level of significance, that the population mean number of miles driven annually by cars under the new contracts, is less than 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.

A company that runs a chain of quick oil change centers, tries to attract customers by claiming that it completes oil changes faster than its competition. So it periodically estimates the time taken to do oil changes at its centers. From historical records, the company knows that the population standard deviation of oil change duration is 15 minutes. Recently, 40 customers were asked how much time they spent getting an oil change at one of their centers. Based on the sample data, the chain concluded that the average oil change time for the population of all its customers was between 15 and 25 minutes. What was the confidence level at which the inference was made?
An experiment was conducted to a sample of nine gold fish and ten clown fish to determine if there is a significant difference in the average number of days that the fish can survive without food inside the aquarium. The gold fish averaged 11 days with a standard deviation of 2 days while the clown fish averaged 12 days with a standard deviation of 3 days. What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis?
A simple random sample of 95 basketball players is taken from different teams and their mean weight is found to be 226 pounds and the standard deviation of the population is 20 pounds. Using 0.05 level of significance , test the claim that the average weight for all basketball players is 231 pounds.

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 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
