- the data support the claim that the average ACT composite score of students from this students is randomly selected from a local high school with an X = 23 and s = 5.2. Do ACT composite scores are normally distributed with a u = 21. A sample of 25 students is randomly selected from a local high school with an X= 23 and s =5.L.D high school is different than 21 on the ACT composite score, using x = .05?arrow_forwardExecutives of a supermarket chain are interested in the amount of time that customers spend in the stores during shopping trips. The mean shopping time, μ , spent by customers at the supermarkets has been reported to be 36 minutes, but executives hire a statistical consultant and ask her to determine whether it can be concluded that μ is greater than 36 minutes. The consultant plans to do a statistical test and collects a random sample of 50 shopping times at the supermarkets. Suppose that the population of shopping times at the supermarkets has a standard deviation of 16 minutes and that the consultant performs her hypothesis test using the 0.05 level of significance.arrow_forwardTwo major automobile manufacturers have produced compact cars with engines of the same size.

The following data (in miles per gallon) show the results of the test. Assume the population of differences is normally distributed.
