Question
- An airline’s data indicate that 50 percent of people who begin the online process of booking a flight never complete the process and pay for the flight. To reduce this percentage, the airline is considering changing its website so that the entire booking process, including flight and seat selection and payment, can be done on two simple pages rather than the current four pages. A random sample of 300 customers who begin the booking process are exposed to the new system, and 117 of them do not complete the process.
- Formulate the null and alterative hypotheses needed to attempt to provide evidence that the new system has reduced the non-completion percentage.
- Use the critical value approach to test the hypotheses by setting α equal to 0.10, 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001.
- Use the p-value approach to test the hypotheses by setting α equal to 0.10, 0.05, 0.01 and 0.001.

- A gym wishes to evaluate the effectiveness of its programs. When a new member joins the gym, they meet with a trainer who designs a recommended routine based on the member’s current fitness and their goals. The recommended routines can be classified into high, medium, or low effort. Historically, 68% of the new members get a high effort routine, 21% get a medium effort routine, and the rest get a low effort routine. After the first six months as members, the gym surveys the members’ adherence to the recommended routine. The gym classifies a member’s performance as optimal if they follow the recommended routine for the six months, or as inferior otherwise. According to the historical results of the survey, 84% of the members with a low effort routine, 22% of the members with a medium effort routine, and 69% of the members with a high effort routine report optimal performance. After the first six months of joining the gym, a member can obtain different results: they can either…arrow_forwardAfter post-graduate study, Mike found a job as HR analyst in London.

JetBlue, United, and US Airways share Terminal C and Boston's Logan Airport. The percentage of on-time flights reported for a sample month were 76.8% for JetBlue, 71.5% for United, and 82.2% for US Airways. Assume that 30% of the arriving flights at this terminal are JetBlue flights, 32% are United flights, and 38% are US Airways flights. a. Develop a contingency table (table of joint probabilities and marginal probabilities). b. An announcement is made that Flight 1382 will arrive at Terminal C. What is the probability that the flight will arrive on time? c. Flight 1382 arrives on time. What is the probability that Flight 1382 is operated by US Airways? d.

- A campus researcher wanted to investigate the factors that affect visitor travel time in a complex, multilevel building on campus. Specifically, he wanted to determine whether different building signs (building maps versus wall signage) affect the total amount of time visitors require to reach their destination and whether that time depends on whether the starting location is inside or outside the building. Three subjects were assigned to each of the combinations of signs and starting locations, and travel time in seconds from beginning to destination was recorded. How should the data be analyzed?

Yet every year over the last five years the consumption of pumpkin-flavored goods has increased. If we look at the numbers, it also becomes clear why a leading coffee company keeps offering the PFC earlier and earlier every year. According to a magazine, the amount spent by PFC buyers at the coffee company is about 17% higher than non-PFC buyers. The accompanying table shows a random sample of eight consumers, the amount they spend per week, and the number of PFCs purchased per week.

Anita's reports that 45% of its customers order their food to go. If this proportion is correct, what is the probability that, in a random sample of 5 customers at Anita's, exactly 3 order their food to go?arrow_forward

A marketing director at a local car dealership would like to know if their sales of EV's is any greater than what the state's sales proportions are. To examine this, they look over the last 500 sales (which they consider to be a representative sample of all car sales) and determine that 10.4% of those were EV sales. Is this statistically significant evidence that the dealership sells a higher proportion of EV's than the overall state's proportion? Which of the following are the correct null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test used to determine significance?
