The average gasoline price of one of the major oil companies in Oman has been RO 1.25 per gallon. The company is not interested in increasing or decreasing the current prices of gasoline. A random sample of 49 of their gas stations is selected and the average price is determined to be RO 1.20 per gallon. Furthermore, assume that the standard deviation of the population is $0.21. Consider the hypothesis is stated as two-tailed test. The value of the test statistic for this hypothesis test is

A state fish hatchery raises trout for stocking streams and lakes. The size of the fish at release time canbe controlled to a fair degree by varying the rate of feeding. The target is a mean of 14 ounces; if the fishare too small, those who catch the fish aren’t happy. A random sample of 82 fish were weighed at time ofrelease and it was determined that the mean was 13.78 ounces with a standard deviation of 1.84 ounces.Test to determine if the fish being released have a population mean less than 14 ounces at the 0.05significance level.
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have historically had a mean of 1775 pounds and a standard deviation of 70 pounds. The company believes that, due to an improvement in the manufacturing process, the mean breaking strength, u, of the cables is now greater than 1775 pounds. To see if this is the case, 14 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1812 pounds. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the 0.10 level of significance, the claim that the population mean breaking strength of the newly- manufactured cables is greater than 1775 pounds? Assume that the population standard deviation has not changed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the…
The Insure.com website reports that the mean annual premium for automobile insurance in the United States was $1,503 in March 2014. Being from Pennsylvania at that time, you believed automobile insurance was cheaper there and decided to develop statistical support for your opinion. A sample of 25 automobile insurance policies from the state of Pennsylvania showed a mean annual premium of $1,430 with a standard deviation of s = $160. (a) Develop a hypothesis test that can be used to determine whether the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania is lower than the national mean annual O Ho: u = 1,503 H: u # 1,503 premium. o Ho: H 1,503 O Ho: H > 1,503 Ha:uS 1,503 (b) What is a point estimate in dollars of the difference between the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania and the national mean? (Use the mean annual premium in Pennsylvania minus the national mean.)
A company that runs a chain of quick oil change centers, tries to attract customers by claiming that it completes oil changes faster than its competition. So it periodically estimates the time taken to do oil changes at its centers. From historical records, the company knows that the population standard deviation of oil change duration is 15 minutes. Recently, 40 customers were asked how much time they spent getting an oil change at one of their centers. Based on the sample data, the chain concluded that the average oil change time for the population of all its customers was between 15 and 25 minutes. What was the confidence level at which the inference was made?
The mean of the commute time to work for a resident of a certain city is 27.3 minutes. Assume that the standard deviation of the commute time is 7.1 minutes. What minimum percentage of commuters in the city has a commute time within 2.5 standard deviations of the mean? What are the commute times within 2.5 standard deviations of the mean?
A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.3 in. and standard deviation 2.9 in. The survey also found that men's heights are normally distributed with mean 69.7 in. and standard deviation 3.6 in. Most of the live characters employed at an amusement park have height requirements of a minimum of 55 in. and a maximum of 64 in. What's the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. What does the result suggest about the genders of the people who are employed as characters at the amusement park?
A car company claims that its new SUV gets better gas mileage than its competitor's SUV. A random sample of 35 of its SUVs has a mean gas mileage of 16.7 miles per gallon (mpg). The population standard deviation is known to be 0.9 mpg. A random sample of 42 competitor's SUVS has a mean gas mileage of 16.4 mpg. The population standard deviation for the competitor is known to be 0.6 mpg. Test the company's claim at the 0.02 level of significance. Let the car company's SUVs be Population 1 and let the competitor's SUVS be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below.

The Fair Isaac Cooperation (FICO) credit score is used by banks and other lenders to determine whether someone is a good credit risk. Scores range from 330 to 850, with a score of 720 or more indicating that a person is a very good credit risk. An economist wants to determine whether the mean FICO score is lower than the cutoff of 720. She finds that a random sample of 60 people had a mean FICO score of 685 with a standard deviation of 80. Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is less than 720? Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value method
A blood bank is conducting a study on how much time is required of their patients for blood platelet donations. Based on past records, time spent in the waiting room has a mean of 5 minutes and a standard deviation of 1 minute, time spent with a nurse who reviews patients' medical records and measures their vital signs has a mean of 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes, and the actual donation time has a mean of 130 minutes and a standard deviation of 8 minutes. Assuming these three times are independent and can all be modeled using a normal distribution, approximately what proportion of donors finish the entire donation process in under 2.5 hours (150 minutes)? (A) 0.66 (B) 0.72 (C) 0.84 (D) 0.89 (E) 0.99
An online stock trading company makes part of their revenue from clients when the clients trade stocks therefore, it is important to the company to have an good idea of how many trades its clients are making in a given year. In a sample of 98 clients of an online stock trading company, the average number of trades per year was 85 with a standard deviation of 17. If you were to test the hypothesis that the average number of trades per year is greater than the previous year when the average number of trades was 84 (using the 10% level of significance), what is the critical value? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
An online stock trading company makes part of their revenue from clients when the clients trade stocks therefore, it is important to the company to have an good idea of how many trades its clients are making in a given year. In a sample of 120 clients of an online stock trading company, the average number of trades per year was 82 with a standard deviation of 16. If you were to test the hypothesis that the average number of trades per year is different than the previous year when the average number of trades was 85 (using the 10% level of significance), the test statistic is -2.05 and the critical value is ± 1.65 . What is your conclusion concerning the null hypothesis? Reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the null hypothesis
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have historically had a mean of 1825 pounds and a standard deviation of 70 pounds. The company believes that, due to an improvement in the manufacturing process, the mean breaking strength, μ, of the cables is now greater than 1825 pounds. To see if this is the case, 17 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1844 pounds. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we support, at the 0.05 level of significance, the claim that the population mean breaking strength of the newly-manufactured cables is greater than 1825 pounds?
