Suppose that a delivery truck, while on its route on six randomly selected days, made an average of 14 deliveries per day with a standard deviation of 2 deliveries. A second delivery truck, while on another route on seven randomly selected days, made an average of 12 deliveries per day with a standard deviation of 4 deliveries. Can we assert at the level of significance a = 0.05 that the first delivery truck on its route makes a larger number of deliveries than the second delivery truck on its route? %3D

A potential buyer wants to decide which of the two brands of electric bulbs he should buy as he has to buy them in bulk. As a specimen, he buys 100 bulbs of each of the two brands-A and B. On using these bulbs, he finds that brand A has a mean life of 1,200 hours with a standard deviation of 50 hours and brand B has a mean life of 1,150 hours with a standard deviation of 40 hours. Do the two brands differ significantly in quality? Use a = 0.05.
A telemarketing company knows that the daily average sales is 20. A new telemarketer who has just started with the company claims that the target of 20 sales per day is an unreasonably high target. From the 100 telemarketers working for you, you select a random sample of 16 and calculate the mean and the standard deviation of sales for a day to be 18.5 and 3.2 respectively. Is there any validity in the statement made by the new telemarketer? Test at the 5% level of significance.
A certain company intends to market a weight-loss pill. They test it on a group of 2000 volunteers but splitting the group into one set of 1000 people who are given pill A for three months, and the second set of 1000 people, who are given pill B for the same three months. The results after 3 months are that the pill A set of people lost on average 10 pounds with a standard deviation of 6 pounds, while the pill B set of people lost an average of 43 pounds with a standard deviation of 9 pounds. What is the confidence level that pill B functions better than pill B for helping people to lose weight? Pill B is more effective than pill A at helping people to lose weight with a confdence level of %. 714
Group A has 12 people and it is a random sample and they have an average heart rate of 100 and their standard deviation is 5. Group B has 18 people and their average heart rate is 90 and they have a standard deviation of 6. do these sample statistics provide sufficient evidence at a=0.01 to claim that the average heart rate for the population of group A is statistically greater than the heart rate of the population of group B?
A sample of 9 cans of Brand A diet soda gave the mean number of calories of 66.1 per can with a standard deviation of 2.4 calories. Another sample of 16 cans of Brand B diet soda gave the mean number of calories of 68.7 per can with a standard deviation of 4.5 calories. Assume that the calories per can of diet soda are normally distributed for both brands with equal standard deviations. State and test the hypothesis that Brand A has lower mean number of calories per can than Brand B at 5% significance level.
In a random sample of 750 toner cartridges, the mean number of a toner cartridge can print is 4302 and the standard deviation is 340. Assume the distribution of data is normally distributed The company that makes the toner cartridges guarantees to replace any cartridge that prints fewer than 3282. Approximately how many of the cartridges in the sample would you expect to be replaced under the guarantee policy?
A man who moves to a new city sees that there are two routes he could take to work. A neighbor who has lived there a long time tells him Route A will average 5 minutes faster than Route B. The man decides to experiment. Each day he flips a coin to determine which way to go, driving each route 20 days. He finds that Route A takes an average of 45 minutes, with standard deviation 3 minutes, and Route B takes an average of 49 minutes, with standard deviation 5 minutes. Histograms of travel times for the routes are roughly symmetric and show no outliers. Complete parts a and b. (...) a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the Route B and Route A commuting times, (µÂ ¯ µÃ) - The confidence interval is (.). (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
2. Two stores at SM Downtown are selling batteries for cell phones. Store A claims an average battery life of 12 hours while Store B advertises an average of 14 hours. Why would we need to know the standard deviation of the battery life before deciding what brand to buy? Suppose the standard deviation are 1.5 hours for A and 1 hour for B, which battery is more likely to last all day?
The salaries of professional baseball players are heavily skewed right with a mean of $3.2 million and a standard deviation of $2 million. The salaries of professional football players are also heavily skewed right with a mean of $1.9 million and a standard deviation of $1.5 million. A random sample of 40 baseball players' salaries and 35 football players' salaries is selected. The mean salary is determined for both samples. Let -, represent the difference in the mean salaries for baseball and football players. Which of the following represents the shape of the sampling distribution for ,-7,? skewed right since the populations are both right skewed skewed right since the differences in salaries cannot be negative approximately Normal since both sample sizes are greater than 30 approximately Normal since the sum of the sample sizes is greater than 30

The time to make a batch of plastic bottles is normally distributed with a mean of 45 seconds. New machinery has been installed in an effort to reduce this time. A sample of 38 batches made on the new machinery was found to have a mean of 40 seconds. Assume a standard deviation of 7 seconds.
