The bank manager wants to show that the new system reduces typical customer waiting times to less than 6 minutes. One way to do this is to demonstrate that the mean of the population of all customer waiting times is less than 6. Letting this mean be µ, in this exercise we wish to investigate whether the sample of 99 waiting times provides evidence to support the claim that µ is less than 6. For the sake of argument, we will begin by assuming that µ equals 6, and we will then attempt to use the sample to contradict this assumption in favor of the conclusion that u is less than 6. Recall that the mean of the sample of 99 waiting times is i = 5.39 and assume that o, the standard deviation of the population of all customer waiting times, is known to be 2.22. (a) Consider the population of all possible sample means obtained from random samples of 99 waiting times. What is the shape of this population of sample means? That is, what is the shape of the sampling distribution of ? Normal because the sample is large

Executives of a supermarket chain are interested in the amount of time that customers spend in the stores during shopping trips. The mean shipping time, μ, spent by customers at the supermarkets has been reported to be 40 minutes, but executives hire a statistical consultant and ask her to determine whether it can be concluded that μ is less than 40 minutes. To perform her statistical test, the consultant collects a random sample of shopping times at the supermarkets. She computes the mean of these times to be 34 minutes and the standard deviation of the times to be 16 minutes. Based on the information, answer the questions below.
Answer the following questions to the best of your ability in R. When conducting any sort of statistical procedure, be sure to state any assumptions you are making and report your conclusion in context of the problem.
a. For this study, we should use t-test for a population mean b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: uv (Please enter a decimal) c. The test statistic z v (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) %3D d. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) %3D e. The p-value is> va f. Based on this, we should fail to reject vthe null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ...
Professor Nord stated that the mean score on the final exam from all the years he has been teaching is a 79%. Colby was in his most recent class, and his class’s mean score on the final exam was 82%. Colby decided to run a hypothesis test to determine if the mean score of his class was significantly greater than the mean score of the population. α = .01. What is the mean score of the population? What is the mean score of the sample? Is this test one-tailed or two-tailed? Why?
3. On the average 35 % of the people afflicted with a certain disease die from it. Under a new treatment only 22% out of 200 patients die from it. Using a 0.05 level of significance, ca we say that the new treatment is effective?
You run a publishing company and you are assessing your proofreaders. You hope that they can proofread an average of 1000 words per hour, an industry benchmark, If they average fewer than 1000 words per hour you will need to reconfigure the staffing. You test the proofreading times of a sample of 100 of the proofreaders and find the sample average words per hour is = whether the population mean words per hour is greater than 1000 with a 95% confidence level. The z-critical value for this test is Z = Zo.05 975 and the sample standard deviation is s = 600. Test 1.645. Show all your steps clearly and illustrate your answer with a graph. %3D
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
4. Bags of a certain brand of tortilla chips claim to have a net weight of 14 ounces. Net weights actually vary slightly from bag to bag and are Normally distributed with mean μ. A representative of a consumer advocate group wishes to see if there is any evidence that the mean net weight is less than advertised and so intends to test the hypotheses Ho: = 14, Ha: < 14. To do this, he selects 16 bags of this brand at random and determines the net weight of each. A Type I error in this setting would mean (a) concluding that the bags are being underfilled when they actually aren't. (b) concluding that the bags are being underfilled when they actually are. concluding that the bags are not being underfilled when they actually are. (d) concluding that the bags are not being underfilled when they actually aren't. (e) none of these
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.
