QUESTION 5 The television picture tubes of manufacturer Sumsun have a mean lifetime of 7 years and a standard deviation of 0.8 year, while those of manufacturer Fillip have a mean lifetime of 6.0 years and a standard deviation of 0.7 year. A random sample of 64 tubes is taken from manufacturer Sumsun while a random sample of 49 tubes is taken from manufacturer Fillip. What is the probability that the difference between the mean lifetimes of the television picture tubes from the two manufacturers is not more than 0.8 year?

Question 22 CCN and ActMedia provide a television channel targeted to individuals waiting in supermarket checkout lines. The channel showed news, short features and advertistments. The length of the program was based on the assumption that the population mean time a shopper stands in a supermarket checkout line is 8 minutes. A sample of actual waiting times will be used to test this assumption and determine whether actual mean waiting time differes from this standard. Part A Develop apporpriate hypotheses Part B For a sample of 120 shoppers showed a sample mean waiting time of 8.4 mintues. Assume a sample standard deviation = 3.2 minutes. What is the p-values? Part C At α=0.05, what is your conclusion?…
It currently takes users a mean of 26 minutes to install the most popular computer program made by RodeTech, a software design company. After changes have been made to the program, the company executives want to know if the new mean is now different from 26 minutes so that they can change their advertising accordingly. A simple random sample of 51 new customers are asked to time how long it takes for them to install the software. The sample mean is 24.9 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.7 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test at the 0.025 level of significance to see if the mean installation time has changed. Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
The U.S. Center for Disease Control reports that in year 1900, the mean life expectancy is 47.6 years for whites and 33 years for nonwhites. (Click here for reference data) Suppose a survey of randomly selected death records for white and nonwhite people born in 1900 from a certain county is conducted. Of the 110 whites surveyed, the mean life span was 48.2 years with a standard deviation of 11.2 years and of the 95 nonwhites, the mean life span was 39.3 years with a standard deviation of 16 years. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to determine whether there was no difference in mean life spans in the county for whites and nonwhites in year 1900. Preliminary: Is it safe to assume thatnw≤5% of all white people born in 1900 andnnw≤5% of all nonwhite people born in 1900? No Yes Is nw≥30 and nnw≥30 ? No Yes Test the claim: Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: μw μnw Ha: μw μnw Determine the test statistic. Round to four…
A simple random sample of 36 observations was taken from a large population. The sample mean and the standard deviation was determined to be 80 and 12 respectively. What is the standard error of the mean?
According to the historical data, the life expectancy in Belgium is less than the life expectancy in the United States. A new study has been made to see whether this has changed. Records of 260 individuals from Belgium who died recently are selected at random. The 260 individuals lived a mean of 78.4 years with a standard deviation of 8.8 years. Records of 285 individuals from the United States who died recently are selected at random and independently. The 285 Individuals lived a mean of 76.5 years with a standard deviation of 7.4 years. Assume that the population standard deviations of lifetimes in these two countries can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, as the samples used were quite large. Construct a 95% confidence interval for ₁-₂, the difference between the life expectancy μ₁ in Belgium and the life expectancy μ₂ in the United States. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three…
It currently takes users a mean of 12 minutes to install the most popular computer program made by RodeTech, a software design company. After changes have been made to the program, the company executives want to know if the new mean is now different from 12 minutes so that they can change their advertising accordingly. A simple random sample of 91 new customers are asked to time how long it takes for them to install the software. The sample mean is 11.7 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.6 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to see if the mean installation time has changed. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
A researcher is interested in examining the difference in the average egg incubation temperature of two lizards in North Carolina, the native green anoles versus the invasive brown anoles. To investigate this, she takes two random samples from both of the lizard populations and calculates the average egg incubation temperature, standard deviation, and sample size for each of the two samples. The average incubation temperature for the 25 sampled brown anoles is 83.2 degrees Fahrenheit, with a sample standard deviation of 20.2 degrees Fahrenheit. The average incubation temperature the 28 samples green anoles is 80.1 degrees Fahrenheit, with a sample standard deviation of 17.4 degrees Fahrenheit. She has also determined that the two samples do not exhibit strong skewness and appear approximately normal. Determine the standard error for the 99% confidence interval for the difference between the true mean incubation temperatures for the two different anole species, μ1−μ2. Give your…
Question 23. (COVID-19 Vaccine Anxiety) A doctor noted the Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) of a sample of 10 persons among those who were visiting his hospital for injecting COVID-19 Vaccine. He found that the sample mean is 115 mm of Hg with a sample standard deviation of 20 mm of Hg. Later on a nurse found that such two visitors are hiding under beds due to anxiety of COVID-19 Vaccine. It is well known fact that anxiety doesn't cause long-term high blood pressure. Sometimes an episode of anxiety can cause dramatic increase in your blood pressure, which was the case here. The nurse noted that the visitors are stressed and their SBP are increased to 180 and 194 mm of Hg. Doctor Hiding from the nurse Now she wonders: What is the standard deviation of the SBP of all the 12 visitors?
According to the historical data, the life expectancy in the United States is less than or equal to the life expectancy in Ireland. A new study has been made to see whether this has changed. Records of 235 individuals from the United States who died recently are selected at random. The 235 individuals lived an average of 77.6 years with a standard deviation of 6.7 years. Records of 220 individuals from Ireland who died recently are selected at random and independently. The 220 individuals lived an average of 76.3 years with a standard deviation of 5.5 years. Assume that the population standard deviations of the life expectancies can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are used to compute them are quite large. At the 0.1 level of significance, is there enough evidence to support the claim that the life expectancy, u,, in the United States is greater than the life expectancy, µ, in Ireland? Perform a one-tailed test. Then fill in the table below. Carry…
Question 6 "An electrical firm produces light bulbs that have a length of life that is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 660 hours and a population standard deviation of 25 hours. A new version of light bulbs is being produced and is assumed to be better than the previous version. To test this claim, a random sample of 92 new light bulbs are tested. Would you buy the new version of the light bulb or would you buy the older version if the random sample showed an average of 870 hours? Use a 0.05 level of significance." I will buy the older version until there is sufficient evidence to do otherwise. B I will buy the new version. C I will certainly buy the older version because I am 100% sure it is better. There is no sufficient data to make a sound conclusion.
