A. A metropolitan transportation authority has set a bus mechanical reliability goal of 3,700 bus miles. Bus mechanical reliability is measured specifically as the number of bus miles between mechanical road calls. Suppose a sample of 100 buses resulted in a sample mean of 3,750 bus miles and a sample standard deviation of 275 bus miles. What are the critical value(s) for the test statistic?
B. A report states that the cost of repairing a hybrid vehicle is falling even while typical repairs on conventional vehicles are getting more expensive. The most common hybrid repair, replacing the hybrid inverter assembly, had a mean repair cost of $3,927 in 2012. Industry experts suspect that the cost will continue to decrease given the increase in the number of technicians who have gained expertise on fixing gas-electric engines in recent months. Suppose a sample of 100 hybrid inverter assembly repairs completed in the last month was selected. The sample mean repair cost was $3,750 with the sample standard deviation of $600. What are the critical value(s) for the test statistic?
C. The worldwide market share for a web browser was 20.4% in a recent month. Suppose that a sample of 200 random students at a certain university finds that 50 use the browser. Suppose that a sample of n=800 students at the same university (instead of n=200) determines that 25% of the sample use the web browser. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the market share for the web browser at the university is greater than the worldwide market share of 20.4%? Calculate the test statistic for the second sample. What is the p-value? State the conclusion of the test.

- An electronics production sequence includes a process where a film of metal is deposited on a board. The film must be more than 1.000 mm thick. If the film is too thin the process fails. The engineer ran a test where the null hypothesis was that the mean thickness was at most 1.000 mm. A sample of 100 boards had a mean thickness of 1.007 mm and a standard deviation of 0.050 mm.At what level of significance would the null hypothesis be rejected? Express your answer at a decimal (not a percent) rounded to three places.arrow_forwardA large financial company employs a human resources mamanger who is in charge of employe benefits. The manger wishes to estimate the average dental expenses per employee for the company. She selects a random sample of 60 employee records for the past year and determines that the sample mean of $492. Moreover, it is known from past studies that the population standard deviation for annual dental expenses is $74. Use this data to calculate a 95% cofidence interval for the mean expenses of all employees.arrow_forwardFederal officials have investigated the problems associated with disposal of hazardous wastes. One disposal site is the abandoned Stringfellow acid pits in Riverside County, Calif. The EPA sampled water from 12 wells in nearby Glen Avon. The EPA standard for maximum allowable radiation level of drinking water is 13.35 pCi/L. Suppose that the sample of 12 water specimens resulted in a sample mean radiation level of 18.97 pCi/L and a sample standard deviation 6.12. Is this sufficient evidence to indicate that the water in Glen Avon has a mean radiation level that exceeds the EPA standard?. Use t test.

- In one city, the average amount of time that tenth-graders spend watching television each week is 23 hours. The principal of Birchwood High School believes it is less for the 10th grade students that at his school. For a sample of 95 tenth-graders from the school, the mean amount of time spent watching television per week was 21.9 hours. Assuming a population standard deviation of 3.1 hours, does the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that for all tenth-graders at Birchwood High school, the mean amount of time spent watching television per week is less than the city average of 23 hours? Perform the appropriate hypothesis test using a significance level of 0.005. What are the hypotheses? What is the test statistic? Is it a z or a t? Find the P-value for this test statistic. How does it compare to the significance level? On the normal curve, indicate the location of the test statistic and the p-value.
