A group of 25 engineers having widely differing amounts of experience (measured in months of experience) was given the same control design project. The results of the study are given in the following table with y 5 1 if the project was successfully completed in the allocated time and y 5 0 if the project was not successfully completed. a.

- Please answer all partsarrow_forwardFreddy is the owner of Freddy’s fast fuel for Small Aircraft specializing in “Providing flight fit fantastic fuel” for small general aviation aircraft such as a Cessna 172. Freddy is experimenting with a fueling process involving new equipment and is trying to determine if the current process takes more time than the new process with the new equipment he is experimenting with. If the current process takes more time than the new process, Freddy will purchase some new, rather expensive fueling equipment to use across several small general aviation airports his company services. Freddy is comparing sample mean times to evaluate his hypothesis about the population (total number of aircraft fuel fill-ups). Over the period of a week, he took a random sample of fuel fill-up times using both the old and new processes. Using the information Freddy provided, you ran a t-test for independent samples. These are the results (α = .05). t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal Variance Current…arrow_forwardplease helparrow_forward
