A company selling home appliances claims that the accompanying instruction guides are written at a 6th-grade reading level. An English teacher believes that the true figure is higher and with the help of an AP Statistics student runs a hypothesis test. The student randomly picks one page from each of 25 of the company's instruction guides, and the teacher subjects the pages to a standard readability test. The reading levels of the 25 pages are given in the following table:
Reading Grade Level Number of Pages

- Best on-time airlines: Hawaiian Airlines topped the list of the most punctual U.S. airlines for full-year 2014, according to data released by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The on-time arrival performance was 91.9% Another aviation data service believes that this percentage now is even higher. The team of researchers chose 130 randomly selected flights and find that 120 of the flights arrived on time. Can a hypothesis test be used to determine whether the proportion of Hawaiian Airlines flights that arrive on-time is higher than 91.9%? Yes, because the sample is random. Thus, it is representative of the population of flights for the airlines. Yes, because the sample is random and (130)(0.923) and (130)(0.077) are both at least 10. This means the normal model is a good fit for the sampling distribution. Yes, because the sample is random and (130)(0.919) and (130)(0.081) are both at least 10. This means the normal model is a good fit for the sampling distribution.arrow_forwardIn Exercises, hypothesis tests are proposed.

Neurosurgery Operative Times. An Arizona State University professor, R. Jacobowitz, Ph.D., in consultation with G. Vishteh, M.D., and other neurosurgeons obtained data on operative times, in minutes, for both a dynamic system (Z-plate) and a static system (ALPS plate). They wanted to perform a hypothesis test to decide whether the mean operative time isless with the dynamic system than with the static system.arrow_forwardChape In 2002, NCHS reported that 75% of children aged 2-17 saw a dentist in the past year. An investigator in Boston decided to assess the dental services for children in that area. A sample of 130 children aged 2- 17 were surveyed and 67 reported seeing a dentist. Assuming that the sample size is adequate, use the five-step hypothesis testing procedure to determine if there is a significant difference in the proportion of children living in Boston who use dental services as compared to the national proportion.arrow_forward
