The mean time required to repair breakdowns of a certain copying machine is 93 minutes. The company which manufactures the machines claims that breakdowns of its new, improved model are easier to fix. To test this claim, a sample of 18 breakdowns of the new model were observed, resulting in a mean repair time of 88.8 minutes and a standard deviation of 16.6 minutes. Use significance level a = 0.05. State clearly what are your null and alternative hypotheses, show your work, and state your conclusion

The result of a sample study in a private school provided that 68 STEM major students average 13.8 math study hours with a standard deviation of 4.7 in a given month, while 54 students average 10.2 with a standard deviation of 6.5. Test at the 0.01 level of significance if the means of the two sample means are the same.
The manager of a computer retails store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop computers with lower than average quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 3.3 years and a standard deviation of 0.6 years. He then randomly selects records on 31 laptops sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 3.1 years.Assuming that the laptop replacement times have a mean of 3.3 years and a standard deviation of 0.6 years, find the probability that 31 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 3.1 years or less.P(M < 3.1 years) = Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. NOTE: Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.Based on the result above, does it appear that the computer store has been given laptops of lower than average quality? No. The probability of obtaining this data is high enough…
Sheldon is the manager for Kara Tyres. He suspects that the claim that their tyres can go the minimum of 13800 km without being worn out is incorrect. He is going to address this issue in his annual report. He has sampled a group of 25 tyres, and calculated that the average kilometers that his sample of tyres can go before being worn out is 13690, with the sample standard deviation of 110 km. What should Sheldon write in his annual report at 0.01 significance level?
Consider a dataset containing the heights of 38 females who said they prefer to sit in the front of the classroom yields a sample average of 62 inches and a sample standard deviation of 2.5 inches. Suppose that the average height for the general population of college females is 65 inches. An analyst wants to test the claim that the true average height of females who prefer to sit in the front of the classroom is lower than it is for the general population. In the hypothesis for the above claim (at significance level of 10%), the appropriate test, test statistic (name and value), and pvalue is the approximate Z-test with z-statistic = 62 and pvalue = 0. the approximate Z-test with z-statistic = 7.40 and pvalue not calculable because normality is not given. = 0. the approximate Z-test with z-statistic = -7.40 and pvalue = 0.

The manager of a computer retails store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop computers with lower than average quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 4.1 years and a standard deviation of 0.6 years.

The student will conduct a test of a single variance. Suppose an airline claims that its flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most 15 minutes. It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than 150 minutes. Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for his next 25 flights. The average delay for those 25 flights is 22 minutes with a standard deviation of 15 minutes. A sample standard deviation of 15 minutes is the same as a sample variance of ["", ""] minutes. find the a. Degrees of freedom = ["", ""] b. Chi2 test statistic = ["", ""] c. p-value =
Medical research has shown that repeated wrist extension beyond 20 degrees increases the risk of wrist and hand injuries. Each of 24 students at a university used a proposed new computer mouse design, and while using the mouse, each student's wrist extension was recorded. Data consistent with summary values given in a paper are shown. Use these data with the resulting sample mean 25.750000 and sample standard deviation 1.870829, to test the hypothesis that the mean wrist extension for people using this new mouse design is greater than 20 degrees. (Use x = 0.05.) 27 22 OH₂ μ = 20 Hà U = 20 Ho: μ = 20 H₂ μ 20 State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

A third party manufacturer of batteries for Android phones claims that a new battery model can provide more than 240 continuous minutes of talk time on a single charge. Consumer reports wants to confirm this claim and selects a simple random sample of 40 batteries for testing. The batteries produce a sample average of 255 minutes, and a samplestandard deviation of 50 minutes. Construct a null and alternate hypothesis that Consumer Reports should use to confirm the claim. Based on the sample data, what can they conclude? Use a 0.05 level of significance.
A custodian wishes to compare two competing floor waxes to decide which one is best. He believes that the mean of WaxWin is not equal to the mean of WaxCo. In a random sample of 12 floors of WaxWin and 20 of WaxCo. WaxWin had a mean lifetime of 27.6 with a standard deviation of 8.8 and WaxCo had a mean lifetime of 20.3 with a standard deviation of 7.6. Perform a hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.01 to help him decide. Let WaxWin be sample 1 and WaxCo be sample 2 The correct hypotheses are: HA: P1 > µ2(claim) Ho: µ1 2 µ2 HA: µ1 < µ2(claim) Ho: µ1 = µ2 HA: H1 + H2(claim) Since the level of significance is 0.01 the critical value is 2.836 and -2.836 The test statistic is: (round to 3 places) The p-value is: (round to 3 places)
A psychologist has developed a standardized test for measuring vocabulary skill for 4 year old children. The scores on the test form a normal distribution with u = 70 and o = 20. A researcher would like to use the test to investigate the hypothesis that children who grow up as an only child develop vocabulary skills at a faster rate than children in larger families. A sample of n=25 only children is obtained and the mean test score for the sample is M = 77. Perform a two tailed hypothesis test, with an alpha level of .05, and add an APA summary.
