The records of 100 postal employees who volunteered for a study, showed that the average time these employees had worked for the postal service was x̅=8 years. Assume that we know that the standard deviation of the population of time postal service employees have spent with the postal service is approximately normal with a standard deviation of σ=5 years. A 95% confidence interval for the meantime μ the population of postal service employees have spent with the postal service is?

Times for a procedure are normally distributed. There are 2 methods. Method A has a mean of 25 minutes and a standard deviation of 8 minutes. Method B has a mean of 29 minutes and a standard deviation of 4 minutes. Which procedure is preferred if it must be completed within 33 minutes?
A doctor believes women have been getting taller. She knows that 10 years ago the average height of women in her city was 63 inches. The standard deviation is unknown. She randomly samples 8 women from the town and finds their average height to be 64.5 inches, the standard deviation was 6.5. state the hypotheses(H0 and H1) What is your conclusion based on α=0.052tail
It takes an average of 14.5 minutes for blood to begin clotting after an injury. An EMT wants to see if the average will increase if the patient is immediately told the truth about the injury. The EMT randomly selected 65 injured patients to immediately tell the truth about the injury and noticed that they averaged 15.4 minutes for their blood to begin clotting after their injury. Their standard deviation was 3.05 minutes. What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.05 level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0:H0: H1:H1: The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is αα Based on this, we should the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the populaton mean is significantly greater than 14.5 at αα = 0.05, so there is statistically significant…
It takes an average of 10.8 minutes for blood to begin clotting after an injury. An EMT wants to see if the average will increase if the patient is immediately told the truth about the injury. The EMT randomly selected 46 injured patients to immediately tell the truth about the injury and noticed that they averaged 11.7 minutes for their blood to begin clotting after their injury. Their standard deviation was 2.98 minutes. What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.05 level of significance?

A study of working actors looked at age and gender. One sample of 50 male actors had a mean age of 26 and a standard deviation of 5. The other sample included 50 female actors with a mean age of 36 and a standard deviation of 3. Estimate with 93% confidence the difference between the average ages of working male (μ1μ1) and female (μ2μ2) actors. Round answers to the nearest hundredth.
The level of calcium in the blood of healthy young adults follows a normal distribution with mean u = 10 milligrams per deciliter and standard deviation s = 0.4. A clinic measures the blood calcium of 100 healthy pregnant young women at their first visit for prenatal care. The sample mean of these 100 measurements is X = 9.8. Is this evidence that the mean calcium level in the population from which these women come is less than 10? To answer this question, we perform the following hypothesis test: H0: u = 10, Ha: u < 10. What is the test statistic? (use two decimal places in your answer) What is the p-value equal to? At the 10% significance level, do you accept or reject the null hypothesis? Answer ACCEPT or REJECT t the 5% significance level, do you accept or reject the null hypothesis? Answer ACCEPT or REJECT
A sample of size 31 was gathered from high school seniors to estimate how many intended to attend the state university. It is known that the proportion of the population answering "yes" was 0.7. What are the mean and standard deviation, and standard error of the mean of this sample? mean = E(p) = %3D standard error = SD(p) (accurate to 3 decimal places)
From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of that age remains constant at around 2.1 years. A survey of 38 smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean starting age is at least 19. The sample mean was 18.1 with a sample standard deviation of 1.3. Do the data support the claim at the 5% level? What is the test statistic? (If using the z distribution round your answers to two decimal places, and if using the t distribution round your answers to three decimal places.)
It takes an average of 14 minutes for blood to begin clotting after an injury. An EMT wants to see if the average will change if the patient is immediately told the truth about the injury. The EMT randomly selected 43 injured patients to immediately tell the truth about the injury and noticed that they averaged 12.5 minutes for their blood to begin clotting after their injury. Their standard deviation was 3.1 minutes. What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.01 level of significance?
