Test each of the following by performing the steps in hypothesis testing. The time coding an algorithm by 16 programmers from one company showed a mean time of 107 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes, while the time by 14 programmers from another company showed a mean time of 112 minutes and a standard deviation of 8 minutes. Is there a significant difference between the two groups at 0.01.

It currently takes users a mean of 2626 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 2626 minutes so that they can change their advertising accordingly. A simple random sample of 5151 new customers are asked to time how long it takes for them to install the software. The sample mean is 24.924.9 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.72.7 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test at the 0.0250.025 level of significance to see if the mean installation time has changed. Step 1 of 3 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. H0Ha: μ=26: μ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯26
Discuss the assumptions for one-sampled t-test and why they are important.
The coach of a very popular men’s basketball team claims that the average distance the fans travel to the campus to watch a game is 35 miles. The team members feel otherwise. A sample of 16 fans who travel to games was randomly selected and yielded a mean of M= 36 miles and s= 5 miles. Test the coach’s claim at the 5% (.05) level of significance. one-tailed or two-tailed test: State the hypotheses: df= tα or t value for the critical region = sM = t (test statistic)= Decision:
The records of a casualty insurance company show that, in the past, its clients have had a mean of 1.8 auto accidents per day with a standard deviation of 0.04. The actuaries of the company claim that the standard deviation of the number of accidents per day is no longer equal to 0.04. Suppose that we want to carry out a hypothesis test to see if there is support for the actuaries' claim. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H,1 that we would use for this test. Ho H: 0 O
The owner of a fitness watch would like to determine if the mean number of steps he takes per day differs from the recommended 10,000 steps per day, using a = 0.01. He selects a random sample of 50 days with the intention of testing the hypotheses Ho:u = 10,000 steps versus Ha p # 10,000 steps where p = the true mean number of steps taken per day. Which of the following values of the alternative hypothesis would yield the greatest power to reject the null hypothesis? Ο μ-9,000 O p =9,500 O H = 10,000 Ο μ 10,500
The lecturer are concerned that students who enrolled for the course this semester are spending more time playing online games than revising for their upcoming test. In order to pass the test, students need to spend at least 6 hours per week on the course materials. They conducted a survey of 120 students from Section 10G and 15P for which the result shows that the mean time they spent studying for the course in a week is 5.7667 hours with a standard deviation of 1.6487 hours. Using the critical value z0.025 =1.96 , perform hypothesis testing for mean to test whether or not students spent at least 6 hours weekly to study for the course.
In a random sample, 55 nurses who worked in the Covid-19 wing of a private hospital were interviewed, 10 indicated they were diagnosed with Covid-19 in 2020. When 50 nurses who do not work in the Covid-19 wing were selected at random, 8 indicated they were diagnosed with Covid-19 in 2020. Q.1.2.1 Calculate the standard deviation of the differences between the sample proportions of nurses who work in the Covid-19 wing and the sample proportions of nurses who do not work in the Covid-19 wing of the hospital. Q.1.2.2 Calculate the test statistic, z, of the differences between the sample proportions of nurses who work in the Covid-19 wing and the sample proportions of nurses who do not work in the Covid-19 wing of the hospital. Q.1.2.3 Find the probability that the sample proportions of nurses who work in the Covid-19 wing have higher chances of getting Covid-19 than sample
For the following question- It is thought that having a relatively consistent length of message in any given conversation indicates a pattern of helpful, well-balanced communication. In fact, some new research suggests that to ensure a productive conversation the maximum message length should be no more than 8 words greater than the minimum message length in any conversation. Test whether the conversations in the sample meet the criteria suggested by this research study. which type of statistical test would be best used to conduct this test= 1. χ 2 goodness of fit 2. χ 2 test for independence (2-way table) 3. Correlation 4. Anova 5. T test
A simple random sample of 80 adults is obtained, and each person’s red blood cell count is measured. The sample mean is 6.25 and a standard deviation of .65. Use a .01 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 6.4, which is a value often used for the upper limit of the range of normal values. (For each hypothesis test state H0 and H1)
my answer for part b) of 6.24 was: (4.3, 9.26) so the variability in Hours is equal to 4.3 hours to 9.26 hours and in minutes its 258 to 555.6 minutes. I also posted 6.24 the previous exercise so that you have all the information but I need help with 6.25.
The instruction manual for an IKEA bookshelf claims that it will take 2 people 41 minutes to assemble. A local college student has started a business assembling IKEA furniture. He claims that as an individual it takes him less than 41 minutes to assemble the bookshelf. He examines 38 of his randomly selected bookshelf assembly times and finds that his average was 40.9 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.3 minutes. What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.10 level of significance? Round all answers to 3 decimal places where possible. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: test statistic: p value:
A random sample of 663 teens who said they did not typically eat fast food reported an average daily calorie intake of 2258, with standard deviation 1519. A random sample of 413 teens who said they did typically eat fast food reported an average daily calorie intake of 2637, with standard deviation 1138. The two populations are not terribly skewed. Based on the above description, which of the following conditions are met for conducting a hypothesis test for the equality of two means? Choose one or more that apply. Select one or more: a. Both samples are random b. Samples are independent of one another c. Both samples are normal enough given the sample size d. Two population means need to be the same
