A manufacturer of rechargeable laptop batteries claims its batteries have, on average, 500 charges. A consumer group decides to test this claim by assessing the number of times 30 of their laptop batteries can be recharged and finds the average is 497, with a standard deviation of 10.
The resulting p-value is .1111; thus, the null hypothesis is not rejected. What is the Type II error?
-The consumer group concludes that the manufacturer's claim that its laptop batteries can be recharged, on average, 500 times is inaccurate, when in fact the claim is accurate.
-The correct decison was made, there was no error possible.
-The consumer group concludes that the manufacturer's claim that its laptop batteries can be recharged, on average, 500 times is accurate, when in fact the claim is inaccurate.

- The students at your school claims that it takes at least 15 minutes to find a parking space. The security performed a study and found that the mean time to find a parking space for randomly selected 25 students were 14.2 with a standard deviation of 3.2. Use a = 0.05 to test student's claim.

A single random sample of new altimeters resulted in the errors listed below. Use a 5% significance level to test the claim that the new production method has errors with a standard deviation greater than 32.2 ft, which was the standard deviation for the old production model (o). If it appears that the standard deviation is greater, does the new production method appear to be better or worse than the old method?

It is claimed that an improvement in the manufacturing process has increased the mean breaking strength. To evaluate this claim, 50 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1912 pounds. Can we support, at the 0.1 level of significance, the claim that the mean breaking strength has increased? (Assume that the standard deviation has not changed.) Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

It was also reported that in a random sample of 136 undergraduates, the sample mean number of credit cards that the students said they carried was 2.5. The sample standard deviation was not reported, but for purposes of this exercise, suppose that it was 1.1. Is there convincing evidence that the mean number of credit cards that undergraduates report carrying is less than the credit bureau's figure of 4.03? (Use a = 0.05. Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.) n USE SALT t = P-value = State your conclusion.

- A company provides a full range of insurance and financial services. Suppose the company reported the results of a survey of 1,045 identity theft victims. The survey shows victims spend an average of 79 hours trying to resolve their cases. If the true average time spent was 79 hours, determine the probability that a test of hypothesis designed to test that the average was less than 83 hours would select the research hypothesis. Use α=0.05 and a standard deviation of 50. The probability that the hypothesis test would select the research hypothesis isarrow_forwardA highly anticipated scl-fl movie opened in theaters with a special midnight showing this past Friday. For the Saturday edition of his town's newspaper, Alan wrote a column about local interest In the movie. He found that the attendance for the midnight showing at his town's theater was 288 people. For all the theaters in the state, attendance at the midnight showing had a mean of 245 people with a standard deviation of 17 people. Find the z-score of the attendance at the theater in Alan's town relative to the attendances among all the theaters in the state. Round your answer to two decimal places.

- 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.
