- Researchers at Purdue University and Wichita State University found that airlines are doing a better job of getting passengers to their destinations on time. AirTran Airways and Southwest Airlines were among the leaders in on-time arrivals, with both having 88% of their flights arriving on time. But for the 12% of flights that were delayed, the dataset named AirDelay contains this information. - View the infotmation (data that realtes to the question) in the screenshot attatched. A) Formulate the hypothesis that can be used to test for a difference between the population mean minutes late for delayed flights by these two airlines. B) Identify the appropriate t-test. Explain your selection. C)Conduct the test using an α = .05. D) Interpret your results in the context of this problem.arrow_forwardCan you guys help me with this homework?

Thank you! Call centers today play an important role in managing day-to-day business communications with customers. It’s important, therefore, to monitor a comprehensive set of metrics, which can help businesses understand the overall performance of a call center. One key metric for measuring overall call center performance is service level which is defined as the percentage of calls answered by a human agent within a specified number of seconds. The file ServiceLevel contains the following data for time, in seconds, to answer 50 incoming calls to a financial services call center:16 14 16 19 6 14 15 5 16 18 17 22 6 18 10 15 12 6 19 16 16 15 13 25 9 17 12 10 5 15 23 11 12 14 24 9 10 13 14 26 19 20 13 24 28 15 21 8 16 12 a.

- Many institutes, departments, and recruitment committees are using citations as part of the assessment process involved in making new appointments. By going through scientific databases like Scopusselection panels can check if a candidate’s work is making an impact by being cited by other researchers in their field. How does the scientific community measure how "good" or "great" a journal or an author is? How do you determine the "impact" of an author's work? The most common metric to track an author's impact is ask how often they are cited. The following table presents the number of citation on research publications of two Management Science professors over a period of 17years, 2005 to 2021, data taken from Google Scholar. The objective of this assignment is to find a suitable forecasting method (moving average, exponential smoothing, and/or simple linear regression model) to predict near future citation of a researcher. (c) To predict the number of citation, does a linear…arrow_forwardPart of why cocaine is so dangerous is that it blocks dopamine receptors. Researchers conducted an experiment to test whether a person’s perception of the quality of the high achieved from taking cocaine (the response) can be predicted based on the percent of dopamine receptors that were blocked by the cocaine (the predictor). For the following data (here: https://github.com/lisamanne/biostats_data/raw/main/cocaine_high_dopamine_receptors.csv) , conduct a hypothesis test of whether such a predictive relationship exists.
