The director of research and development is testing a new medicine. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.020.02 level that the medicine relieves pain in less than 396396 seconds. For a sample of 6262 patients, the mean time in which the medicine relieved pain was 392392 seconds. Assume the population standard deviation is 1818. Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses.

A pizza delivery chain advertises that it will deliver your pizza in 2020 minutes from when the order is placed. Being a skeptic, you decide to test and see if the mean delivery time is actually more than 2020 minutes. For the simple random sample of 88 customers who record the amount of time it takes for each of their pizzas to be delivered, the mean is 22.222.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.13.1 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Perform a hypothesis test using a 0.0250.025 level of significance. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.
A mechanic sells a brand of automobile tire that has a life expectancy that is normally distributed, with a mean life of 31,000 miles and a standard deviation of 2400 miles. He wants to give a guarantee for free replacement of tires that don't wear well. How should he word his guarantee if he is willing to replace approximately 10% of the tires? Tires that wear out by ? miles will be replaced free of charge.
State the null and alternative hypotheses. John, a restaurant owner, suspects that prices of tomatoes in Bury are higher than the rest of Manchester. He finds that the city average price of a certain type of premium tomatoes is £20.9 with standard deviation £0.95. He takes a sample of this type of tomato from 5 local Bury stores and obtains an average price of £22.46.
Zappos is an online retailer based in Nevada and employs 1,300 employees. One of their competitors, Amazon.com, would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a Zappos employee is less than 36 years old. A random sample of 22 Zappos employees was found to have an average age of 33.9 years. The standard deviation for this sample was 4.1 years. Amazon would like to set α = 0.025. The correct hypothesis statement for this hypothesis test would be A) H0: μ = 33.9; H1: μ ≠ 33.9. B) H0: μ = 36; H1: μ ≠ 36. C) H0: μ ≤ 36; H1: μ > 36. D) H0: μ ≥ 36; H1: μ < 36.
The average American consumes 97 liters of alcohol per year. Does the average college student consume a different amount of alcohol per year? A researcher surveyed 12 randomly selected college students and found that they averaged 79.1 liters of alcohol consumed per year with a standard deviation of 19 liters. What can be concluded at the the a = 0.05 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: ? Select an answer H₁: ? Select an answer ✓ c. The test statistic ? v = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) d. The p-value =
The average American consumes 89 liters of alcohol per year. Does the average college student consume less alcohol per year? A researcher surveyed 15 randomly selected college students and found that they averaged 87.3 liters of alcohol consumed per year with a standard deviation of 15 liters. What can be concluded at the the a = 0.05 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Но: ? Select an answer V Н: ? v Select an answer V c. The test statistic ? v = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) e. The p-value is ? v a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... the null hypothesis. O The data suggest the population mean is not significantly less than 89 at a = 0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean amount of alcohol consumed by college students…
The College Board reports that the scores on the math SAT were normally distributed with a mean of 525. A random sample of 15 students at your high school had a mean of 550 and a sample standard deviation of 105. What values of the sample mean would lead to rejection of the null hypothesis at the 0.01 level of significance?
Many people believe that the average number of Facebook friends is 328. The population standard deviation is 32.2. A random sample of 60 high school students in a particular county revealed that the average number of Facebook friends was 340. At α = 0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean number of friends is greater than 328?
A researcher claimed that for people that smoke cigarettes, the average number of cigarettes smoked per day is greater than 9. To test her claim, she selected a random sample of 36 smokers and found the mean number of cigarettes smoked per day was 10. The standard deviation of the population is 2.5 cigarettes. At a = 0.05, conduct all steps of a hypothesis test to test the researcher's claim.
A recent study showed that the average number of sticks of gum a person chews in a week is 14. A college student believes that the guys in his dormitory chew less gum in a week. He conducts a study and samples 25 of the guys in his dorm and finds that on average they chew 17 sticks of gum in a week with a standard deviation of 3.1. Test the college student's claim at a=0.10. The correct hypotheses would be: Ο Η: μ 14 HA: 14 (claim) Ho: μ = 14 HA: The p-value is: 14 (claim) Since the level of significance is 0.10 the critical value is -1.318 The test statistic is: The decision can be made to: O reject Ho do not reject Ho (round to 3 places) (round to 3 places) The final conclusion is that: O There is enough evidence to reject the claim that less gum in a week. There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that less gum in a week. O There is enough evidence to support the claim that less gum in a week. O There is not enough evidence to support the claim that less gum in a week.
