According to researchers, the mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle-theft offenders in a nation is 16.6 months. One hundred randomly selectedmotor-vehicle-theft offenders in a city in the nation had a mean length of imprisonment of 17.3 months. At the 10% significance level, do the data providesufficient evidence to conclude that the mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle-theft offenders in the city differs from the national mean? Assumethat the population standard deviation of the lengths of imprisonment for motor-vehicle-theft offenders in the city is 4.0 months.Setup the hypotheses for the one-mean z-test.HoHHa: H(Type integers or decimals.

The mean attention span for a ten-year-old in the USA is 19.10 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.03 minutes. Dr. Nintendoaddict think that video game playing may increase attention span. Dr. Nintendoaddict surveys 25 ten-year-olds who regularly play video games and measure their attention span. Dr Nintendoaddict find that the video game players’ mean attention span is 20.85 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.45 minutes. What is the critical value of z for alpha = .05?
Data on salaries in the public school system are published annually in Ranking of the States and Estimates of School Statistics by the National Education Association. The mean annual salary of (public) classroom teachers is $55.4 thousand. A random sample of 90 classroom teachers in Ohio had mean of $54 thousand, with standard deviation $9.2 thousand. 1. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean annual salary of classroom teachers in Ohio is less than the national mean (Use BOTH the critical value approach AND the p-value approach to solve this problem.) 2. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the population mean based on the Ohio sample, and compare the C.I. with the hypothesized population mean.
According to the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research of Australia as reported on Lawlink, the mean length of imprisonment for motor vehicle theft offenders in Australia is 16.7 months. Thirty randomly selected motor vehicle theft offenders in Sydney Australia had mean length of imprisonment of 17.8 months. The population standard deviation of the lengths of imprisonment for motor vehicle theft offenders in Sydney is 6.0 months.

According to a report published three years ago by the National Center for Education Statistics, the average time required to complete a bachelor's degree is 55 months.A researcher suspects that the it now takes students longer than 55 months, on average, to complete a bachelor's degree. A recent, random sample of 217 recent college graduates revealed that the average time to complete a bachelor's degree was 56.1 months, with a standard deviation of 6.8 months.Using a significance level of 5%, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the average time required to complete a bachelor's degree is greater than 55 months? Use the p-value method.State the null and alternative hypothesis for this test.H0:H0: H1:H1: Determine if this test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. right-tailed two-tailed left-tailed Should the standard normal (zz) distribution or Student's (tt) distribution be used for this test?

Based on the information from the U.S census bureau the mean travel time to work in minutes for all workers 16 years old and older was 27.5 minutes. A large company with offices in several states randomly sample 85 of its workers to ascertain their commuting times. The sample mean was 23.6 minutes,and the population standard deviation is 5.41 minutes. At the 0.05 level of signifance can it be concluded that the mean commuting time is less for this particular company
