Given, n1=12n2=15x1=42.5x2=49.9s1=11.1s2=15.1α=0.05 The degrees of freedom is obtained as- df=s12n1+s22n22s12n12n1-1+s22n22n2-1=11.1212+15.1215211.1212212-1+15.1215215-1=24.86 The hypothesis to be tested here is- H0:μ1=μ2H1:μ1<μ2 This is a left tailed test.

Committing type I error here implies rejecting the null hypothesis that there is no difference between new United Airlines boarding process and the American Airlines boarding process when actually there is no difference. Committing type II error here implies accepting the null hypothesis that there is no difference between new United Airlines boarding process and the American Airlines boarding process when actually new United Airlines boarding process takes less time than the American Airlines boarding process.

1. During September 2018, United Airlines introduced a new two-line boarding process intended to decrease gate congestion, passenger anxiety, and time to board the plane. Independent random samples of similar cross-country flights for United Airlines and American Airlines were obtained and the boarding time (in minutes) for each was recorded. Assume both populations are normally distributed and the population standard deviations are unequal.

Salvatore, as the director of a regional bank, is concerned about the wait times of customers at the four branches. He randomly selects 48 patrons at each branch and records the waiting time for each patron. The results of the samples are shown below. The Alvrine branch has a mean waiting time of 13.49 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.97 minutes.The Durham branch has a mean waiting time of 12.61 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.89 minutes.The Hanover branch has a mean waiting time of 11.06 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.46 minutes.The Mascomonet branch has a mean waiting time of 12.89 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.12 minutes.
A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…
2. Your company has a contract to perform preventive maintenance on thousands of air- conditioners in a large city. Based on service records from previous years, the time that a technician spends servicing a unit averages one hour with a standard deviation of one hour. In the coming week, your company will service a simple random sample of 70 units in the city. You plan to budget an average of 1.1 hours per technician to complete the work. Will this be enough time? Provide probabilities and interpret.
A credit score is used by credit agencies (such as mortgage companies and banks) to assess the creditworthiness of individuals. Values range from 300 to 850 with a credit score over 700 considered to be a quality credit risk. According to a survey, the mean credit score is 705.6. A credit analyst wondered whether high-income individuals (incomes in excess of $100,000 per year) had higher credit scores. He obtained a random sample of 34 high-income individuals and found the sample mean credit score to be 724.4 with a standard deviation of 84.4. Conduct the appropriate test to determine if high-income individuals have higher credit scores at the α=0.05 level of significance. 1) Find: P-value 2) Make a conclusion regarding the hypothesis.
According to the Vivino website, suppose the mean price for a bottle of red wine that scores 4.0 or higher on the Vivino Rating System is $32.48. A New England-based lifestyle magazine wants to determine if red wines of the same quality are less expensive in Providence, and it has collected prices for 64 randomly selected red wines of similar quality from wine stores throughout Providence. The mean and standard deviation for this sample are $30.15 and $12, respectively. (a) Develop appropriate hypotheses for a test to determine whether the sample data support the conclusion that the mean price in Providence for a bottle of red wine that scores 4.0 or higher on the Vivino Rating System is less than the population mean of $32.48. (Enter != for # as needed.) Ho: H: (b) Using the sample from the 64 bottles, what is the test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation is fast becoming a requirement for serious investment professionals. It is an attractive alternative to getting an MBA for students wanting a career in investment. A student of finance is curious to know if a CFA designation is a more lucrative option than an MBA. He collects data on 38 recent CFAs with a mean salary of $138,000 and a standard deviation of $34,000. A sample of 80 MBAs results in a mean salary of $130,000 with a standard deviation of $46,000.a) Specify the hypotheses to test whether a CFA designation is more lucrative than an MBA.b) Calculate the value of the test statistic and the p-value. Do not assume that the population variances are equal.c) At the 5% significance level, is a CFA designation more lucrative than an MBA?

The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures students' study habits and attitudes toward school. The survey yields several scores, one of which measures student attitudes toward studying. The mean student attitude score for college students is about 30, and standard deviation is about 12. A researcher in the Philippines is concerned about the declining performance of college graduates on professional licensure and board exams. She suspects that poor attitudes of students are partly responsible for the decline and that the mean for college seniors who plan to take professional licensure or board exams is less than 30. She gives the SSHA to an SRS of 144 college seniors in the Philippines who plan to take professional licensure or board exams. Suppose we know that the student attitude scores in the population of such students are Normally distributed with standard deviation σ = 12. (a) We seek evidence against the claim that μ = 30.

According to Kaiser Family Foundation survey in 2011 and 2010, the average premium for employer-sponsored health insurance for family coverage was $15,073 in 2011 and $13,770 in 2010 (USA TODAY, September 29, 2011). Suppose that these averages were based on random samples of 250 and 200 employees who had such employer-sponsored health insurance plans for 2011 and 2010, respectively. Further assume that the population standard deviations for 2011 and 2010 were $2160 and $1990, respectively.

A technician compares repair costs for two types of microwave ovens (type I and type II). He believes that the repair cost for type I ovens is greater than the repair cost for type II ovens. A sample of 35 type I ovens has a mean repair cost of $80.39. The population standard deviation for the repair of type I ovens is known to be $24.63. A sample of 31 type II ovens has a mean repair cost of $73.47. The population standard deviation for the repair of type II ovens is known to be $10.42. Conduct a hypothesis test of the technician's claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Let i be the true mean repair cost for type I ovens and µz be the true mean repair cost for type II ovens. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.
