Planning engineers want to construct a confidence interval for the standard deviation of the runtime of a certain manufacturing process (6), assuming that the runtimes will be approximately Normal. They make 25 random observations and find that, on average, the process takes 290 seconds, with a sample standard deviation of 35 seconds. Click here to view page 1 of the table of critical values of the chi-squared distribution. Click here to view page 2 of the table of critical values of the chi-squared distribution. With 90%, the engineers can conclude that o will be between and (Round to two decimal places including any zeros.)

The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have historically had a mean of 1875 pounds and a standard deviation of 70 pounds. The company believes that, due to an improvement in the manufacturing process, the mean breaking strength, µ, of the cables is now greater than 1875 pounds. To see if this is the case, 46 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1886 pounds. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the population mean breaking strength of the newly- manufactured cables is greater than 1875 pounds? Assume that the population standard deviation has not changed. 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 below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H and the…
A random sample of 76 eighth-grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 273. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 270. Assume that the population standard deviation is 33. At α=0.02, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). Part 1 (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify H0 and Ha.

A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean ? = 81 and standard deviation ? = 26. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) x is more than 60(b) x is less than 110(c) x is between 60 and 110(d) x is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125)
An IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 10 for the population of normal adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it can be said with 99% confidence that the sample mean is within 8 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that σ=10 and determine the required sample size.
The heart rate of 20 patients in the ICU have a mean of 95.3 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 19.6 beats per minute. Are heart rates from the ICU patients unusual given a normal heart rate has a mean of 72 beats per minute? What is the t-stastic?
Scores on a statistics final in a large class were normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 8. The instructor wants to give an A to the students whose scores were in the top 08% of the class (Provide your answer with two decimal places). Find the Z-score that is associated with the lowest possible score to get an A. What is the minimum score needed to get an A?
You have obtained the number of years of education from one random sample of 38 police officers from City A and the number of years of education from a second random sample of 30 police officers from City B. The average years of education for the sample from City A is 15 years with a standard deviation of 2 years. The average years of education for the sample from City B is 14 years with a standard deviation of 2.5 years. Is there a statistically significant difference between the education levels of police officers in City A and City B?What is the appropriate test for this case? 2 sample z-testChi-square test 2-sample t-test2 sample paired t-test Carry out the test. The test statistic = (round answer to two decimal places.)and the p-value is (round answer to 2 decimal places)There sufficient evidence at the 5% level to conclude that the education levels of police officers in City A and City B is significantly different.
In the year 2033, katy perry is a leading traveling nurse. Katy is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Katy takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using α = 0.05, answer the following questions. g) What is the interpretation (not your conclusions) of the p value in the context of the problem you found in part e? h) What are your conclusions in the context of the problem? Relate your conclusions to the test statistic and critical value, confidence interval and p value.
Suppose that you are designing an instrument panel for a large industrial machine. The machine requires the person using it to reach 2 feet from a particular position. The reach from this position for adult women is known to have a mean of 2.7 feet with a standard deviation of 0.5. The reach for adult men is known to have a mean of 3.1 feet with a standard deviation of 0.7. Both women's and men's reach from this position is normally distributed. If this design is implemented, (a) what percentage of women will not be able to work on this instrument panel? (b) What percentage of men will not be able to work on this instrument panel?

The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have historically had a mean of 1825 pounds and a standard deviation of 70 pounds. The company believes that, due to an improvement in the manufacturing process, the mean breaking strength, μ, of the cables is now greater than 1825 pounds. To see if this is the case, 17 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1844 pounds. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the population mean breaking strength of the newly-manufactured cables is greater than 1825 pounds?
