A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of eight ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain.BIG Corporation would like to estimate the mean amount of coffee, μ, dispensed per cup by this machine. BIG will choose a random sample of cup amounts dispensed by this machine and use this sample to estimate μ. Assuming that the standard deviation of cup amounts dispensed by this machine is 0.35 ounces, what is the minimum

ACCURACY is a measure of how well a student accurately inputs data into SAS; higher values indicate superior accuracy while lower values indicate inferior accuracy. GROUP is simply the course number assigned to the student—it is also known as a factor level. Various statistical tests assume the ten levels may have differing means of accuracy; however, they also assume that all levels have the same variance. But, how the heck do we know that? This means we must check to see whether all levels have the same variance. Do all ten groups exhibit equal variances? How do you know? Are any of the groups different than the others?

For this year’s test, the district has prepared two possible versions: Version 1 that covers more material than last year’s test and Version 2 test that is similar to last year’s test. The district suspects that the mean score for Version 1 will be less than the mean score for Version 2. To examine this, over the summer the district randomly selects 90 incoming freshmen to come to its offices to take Version 1, and it randomly selects 75 incoming freshmen to come take Version 2. The 90 incoming freshmen taking Version 1 score a mean of 113.0 points with a standard deviation of 16.8 . The 75 incoming freshmen taking Version 2 score a mean of 117.0 points with a standard deviation of 18.5 . Assume that the population standard deviations of the test scores from the two versions can be estimated to be the sample standard deviations, since the samples that are…arrow_forward

One proponent of Siberian Huskies believes that sleds pulled by Siberian Huskies are faster than sleds pulled by other breeds. He times 4040 teams of Siberian Huskies on a particular short course, and they have a mean time of 7.77.7 minutes. The mean time on the same course for 4747 teams of other breeds of sled dogs is 6.26.2 minutes. Assume that the times on this course have a population standard deviation of 1.51.5 minutes for teams of Siberian Huskies and 1.61.6 minutes for teams of other breeds of sled dogs. Let Population 1 be sleds pulled by Siberian Huskies and let Population 2 be sleds pulled by other breeds.

- A recent study revealed that the average weight of babies born in the United States is normally distributed with a mean of 7.5 pounds. This number is lower than recent years and so researchers are interested in determining what factors are associated with lower birth weights. One researcher decides to look at the age of the mother to determine if younger mothers have babies that are significantly heavier or lighter than average. To study this the researcher collects data from 87 babies who were born to mothers between the ages of 16 and 18. Only one baby was measured per mother. Twins and other multiple births were excluded. The average weight for these babies was 7.3 pounds with a standard deviation of .6 pounds. Was the average weight of babies of young mothers significantly different than babies in the general population? No, the difference was not significant Yes, they were lighter. Yes, they were heavierarrow_forwardSuppose that Kim is a participant in a study that compares several coaching methods to see how they affect math Scholar Aptitude Test (SAT) scores. The grand mean of math SAT scores for all participants (My) in the study is 550. The group that Kim participated in had a mean math SAT score of 565. Kim’s individual score on the math SAT was 610. What was the estimate residual component (of Kim’s score, that is, the part of Kim’s score that was not related to the coaching method?

This is why LDL is known as "bad cholesterol." LDL is measured in milligrams per deciliter of blood, or mg/dL. In a population of adults at risk for cardiovascular problems, the distribution of LDL levels is normal, with a mean of 123123 mg/dL and a standard deviation of 4141 mg/dL. If an individual's LDL is at least 11 standard deviation or more above the mean, he or she will be monitored carefully by a doctor. What percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 11 or more standard deviations above the mean? Use the 6868–9595–99.799.7 rule.

Runners tend to run their best times when they run even splits. Even splits occur when the runners maintain an even pace throughout the race. The cross-country coach wants to estimate the typical variability in his best runner's 1-mile splits. He takes a random sample of 25 of this runner's mile splits and finds that this runner's mean 1-mile split is 5.44 minutes per mile, with a standard deviation of 0.14 minutes per mile. This runner's 1-mile splits follow a normal distribution.
