The Toylot company makes an electric train with a motor that it claims will draw an average of no more than 0.8 amps under a normal load. A sample of nine motors were tested, and it was found that the mean current was x = 1.32 amps, with a sample standard deviation of s = 0.44 amps. Perform a statistical test of the Toylot claim.

A chain of restaurants has historically had a mean wait time of 5 minutes for its customers. Recently, the restaurant added several very popular dishes back to their menu. Due to this, the manager suspects the wait time, μ, has increased. He takes a random sample of 35 customers. The mean wait time for the sample is 5.1 minutes. Assume the population standard deviation for the wait times is known to be 1.1 minutes. Can the manager conclude that the mean wait time is now greater than 5 minutes? Perform a hypothesis test, using the 0.10 level of significance. (a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H₁. Ho: O H₁:0 μ X 0° OO 20ם ローロ OO × 5 (b) Perform a hypothesis test. The test statistic has a normal distribution (so the test is a "Z-test"). Here is some other information to help you with your test. 0.10 is the value that cuts off an area of 0.10 in the right tail. *-μ ⚫ The test statistic has a normal distribution and the value is given by z=- σ √n Standard Normal…
Aspirin is packed in 120 tab bottles with weight normally distributed with mean 600g and standard deviation 6g. Rejected bottles are those whose weight differs from the mean weight by 15g or more. That is, rejected bottles have weight either too small or too large. We want to find out how many bottles will be rejected from a daily production of 5000 bottles. 1,Do we have to calculate one z-score or two z-scores? 2. The negative z-score is 3. The positive z-score is 4.How many bottles, of the 5000, do we anticipate to have to reject?

The lengths of bolts produced in a factory may be taken to be normally distributed. The botlts are checked on two "go-no go" gauges and those shorter tthan 2.9 or longer than 3.1 inches are rejected. A random sample of 50 bolts are checked. If the n1 = 12 and n2 = 12, estimate the mean and the standard deviation for these bolts. State your assumptions. n1 being the number of bolts below 2.9 and n2 is the number of bolts above 3.1.
Dr. Sylvester Stallone is a circadian rhythms researcher and believes sleep affects memory. Having collected data on a large number of subjects who are getting the recommended amount of sleep, he knows the mean digit span of this population is 5.6 digits. To test his hypothesis, he measures the digit span of 15 volunteers randomly selected from the population, after depriving them of one night’s sleep. The results show a mean (X bar) of 4.1 and a standard deviation of (s) 1.4. a. What does Dr. Stallone conclude, using and alpha of 0.05 (two tailed)? b. If appropriate, calculate the size of effect and provide an interpretation of the value?
A coin-operated drink machine was designed to discharge a mean of 7 fluid ounces of coffee per cup. In a test of the machine, the discharge amounts in 9 randomly chosen cups of coffee from the machine were recorded. The sample mean and sample standard deviation were 6.77 fluid ounces and 0.27 fluid ounces, respectively. If we assume that the discharge amounts are approximately normally distributed, is there enough evidence, to conclude that the population mean discharge, μ, differs from 7 fluid ounces? Use the 0.10 level of significance. Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places.
