The number of car accidents along the highway between Cukier City and Fugeville has historically occurred at a mean rate of 8 per month. Concerned with this rate, town officials agreed to install speed cameras along the highway. In the first month of operation, the number of accidents was 1.

An amusement park keeps track of the percentage of individuals with season passes according to age category. An independent tourist company would like to show that this distribution of age category for individuals buying season passes is different from what the amusement park claims. The tourist company randomly sampled 200 individuals entering the park with a season pass and recorded the number of individuals within each age category. Age Category Child (under 13 years old) Teen (13 to 19 years old) Adult (20 to 55 years old) Senior (56 years old and over) Number of Individuals 56 86 44 14 The tourist company will use the data to test the amusement park’s claim, which is reflected in the following null hypothesis. H0:pchild=0.23H0:pchild=0.23, pteen=0.45pteen=0.45, padult=0.20padult=0.20, and psenior=0.12psenior=0.12. What inference procedure will the company use to investigate whether or not the distribution of age category for individuals with season passes is…

4. Researchers working for a sports drink company would like to know if a new blend if its popular sports drink can help improve marathon runners' final running time. Marathon times, Y, are known to follow a Normal distribution. Suppose that runners using the old blend sports drink have a mean finishing time of 300 minutes (H = 300 minutes). A random sample of 20 runners was selected to use the new blend of sports drink in a marathon, finishing with an average time of 270 minutes and a standard deviation of 20 minutes (y = 270 min, s = 20 min). Can it be claimed that the new blend lowers finishing times? Or is it possible that random chance alone can explain the discrepancy? Carry out a hypothesis test of the true mean u using the 4- step procedure. Set your alpha-level to 0.05. a. Which is the correct null hypothesis? O i. Ho: µ = 300 min O ii: Ho: µ = 270 min %3D O ii.

Read the following passage and observe the word length of each word. Make a frequency distribution of word length. Pargraph: “Statistics play an intrinsic role in computer science and vice versa. Statistics is used for data mining, speech recognition, vision and image analysis, data compression, artificial intelligence, and network and traffic modeling. A statistical background is essential for understanding algorithms and statistical properties that form the backbone of computer science. Typically, statistical approach to models tends to involve stochastic (random) models with prior knowledge of the data. The computer science approach, on the other hand, leans more to algorithmic models without prior knowledge of the data. Ultimately, these come together in attempts to solve problems.” Note table should neat and clean

. A process that cuts lengths of metal with high precision has historically produced metal rods with length that is normally distributed and with a mean of 800 millimetres (mm). Management at the factory is concerned that after an overhaul of the machine the mean length of the rods being produced could differ from the required 800 mm. If it is found that the rods are not being produced to specifications then the machine will have to be stopped for readjustment, with a consequent loss of production. The production line manager tasked with investigating the issue finds that a (random) sample of 25 rods yielded a mean length of 806 mm and a sample standard deviation of 10 mm. i. The mean of the sample is clearly not the required 800 mm. Say why this is not enough information in itself to say if the machine is operating correctly or not. ii. State the null and alternative hypotheses for this situation.
