Suppose the mean wait-time for a telephone reservation agent at a large airline is 40 seconds. A manager with the airline is concerned that business may be lost due to customers having to wait too long for an agent. To address this concern, the manager develops new airline reservation policies that are intended to reduce the amount of time an agont needs to spend with each customer. A random sample of 250 customers results in a sample mean wait-time of 39.1 seconds with a standard deviation of 4.2 seconds. Using a=0.05 level of significance, do you believe the new policies were effective in reducing wait time? Do you think the results have any practical significance? 6-7 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Calculate the P-value P-value = Round to three decimal places as needed.) ick to select your answer(s).

Suppose that the quarterly sales levels among health care information systems companies are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 8 million dollars and a standard deviation of 1.3 million dollars. One health care information systems company considers a quarter a "fallure" if its sales level that quarter is in the bottom 10% of all quarterly sales levels. Determine the sales level (in millions of dollars) that is the cutoff between quarters that are considered "failures" by that company and quarters that are not.

A psychologist believes that it will take at least an hour for certain special child to learn a task. A random sample of 30 of these children results in a mean of 50 minutes to learn a task. Should the psychologist modify her belief at 0.01 level if the population standard deviation can be assumed to be 15 minutes?
The National Coalition on Healthcare suggests that the mean annual premium that a health insurer charges an employer for a health plan covering a family of four averaged $13,000 in 2009. A sample of 30 families of four yields a mean annual premium paid by their employer to be $13,500 with a sample standard deviation of $300. We are interested in whether the mean annual premium that a health insurer charges an employer for a health plan covering a family of four is different from $13,000 using a significance level of 0.10. Select one: a. tdata = 9.129, do not reject Ho. b. tdata = 9.129, reject Ho. c. tdata = -9.129, do not reject Ho. O d. tdata = 4.156, reject Ho.
Suppose a researcher wants to test if the average diastolic blood pressure in Irish-Americans is different than the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population. Note that the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population is 70 mmHG. The researcher recruits 30 Irish-Americans into this particular study and then measures each of their diastolic blood pressures (mmHG). The population of this sample has a standard deviation equal to 3.0. What is the two-sided alternative hypothesis? (in words) Group of answer choices The mean is different than 70 The mean is different than 73 The mean is greater than 70 The mean is greater than 73
A marketing consultant is hired by a major restaurant chain wishing to investigate the preferences and spending patterns of lunch customers. The CEO of the chain hypothesized that the average customer spends at least $13.50 on lunch. A survey of 25 customers sampled at one of the restaurants found the average lunch bill per customer to be ?¯=$14.50 . Based on previous surveys, the restaurant informs the marketing manager that the standard deviation is ?=$3.50 . To address the CEO’s conjecture, the marketing manager carried out a hypothesis test of ?0:?=13.50 vs. ??:?>13.50 and obtained a ?‑value = 0.77. The marketing chooses a significance level of ?=0.10. If he uses this significance level throughout his work, how often will he reject a true null hypothesis? Group of answer choices a.He will reject 10% of all true null hypotheses. b. He will reject 1% of all true null hypotheses. c. He will reject 5% of all true null hypotheses. d. He will not reject 10% of all true null…
Fran is training for her first marathon, and she wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners who are training for marathons. She interviews 42 randomly selected people who train in groups and finds that they run a mean of 47.1 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 4.4 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 47 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 48.5 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 1.8 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Suppose that the quarterly sales levels among health care information systems companies are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 9 million dollars and a standard deviation of 1.4 million dollars. One health care information systems company considers a quarter a "failure" if its sales level that quarter is in the bottom 10% of all quarterly sales levels. Determine the sales level (in millions of dollars) that is the cutoff between quarters that are considered "failures" by that company and quarters that are not. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Researchers want to compare the relative effectiveness of two popular diets. They randomly assign each of 400 volunteers to one of two Groups: A & B. There are 200 volunteers in each group. Group A spends 6 months on Diet A. Group B spends 6 months on Diet B. At the beginning of the study, the difference in average weight between the two groups was negligible. After the study, the Group A had lost on average 7.8 pounds with a standard deviation of 13.4 pounds, while the Group B had lost on average 5.3 pounds with a standard deviation of 14.8 pounds. Determine the z-score/test statistic for a two-tailed test with significance level α = 0.05 , accurate to 2 decimal places.

A new small business wants to know if its current radio advertising is effective. The owners decide to look at the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store on days immediately following days when the radio ads are played as compared to the mean for those days following days when no radio advertisements are played. They found that for 7 days following no advertisements, the mean was 22.1 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.2 customers. On 10 days following advertising, the mean was 24.1 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.6 customers. Test the claim, at the 0.05 level, that the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store is lower for days following no advertising compared to days following advertising. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal. Let days following no advertisements be Population 1 and let days following advertising be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the…
