Question
Annie is concerned over a report that "a woman over age 4040 has a better chance of being killed by a terrorist than of getting married." A study found that the likelihood of marriage for a never-previously-wed, 4040-year-old university-educated American woman was 2.8%2.8%. To demonstrate that this percentage is too small, Annie uses her resources at the Baltimore Sun to conduct a simple random sample of 513513 never-previously-wed, university-educated, American women who were single at the beginning of their 4040s and who are now 4545. Of these women, 2323 report now being married. Does this evidence support Annie’s claim, at the 0.050.05 level of significance, that the chances of getting married for this group is greater than 2.8%2.8%?

- One cable company claims that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will arrive within 60 minutes after a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not accurate, claiming that it takes over 60 minutes for the cable technician to arrive. The customer asks a simple random sample of 25 other cable customers how long it has taken for the cable technician to arrive when they have called for one. The sample mean for this group is 63.4 minutes with a standard deviation of 15.1 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test the customer's claim at the 0.025 level of significance. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.

The union decides to do a statistical test to see if the value has indeed increased. The union chooses a random sample of this year's wages, computes the mean of the sample to be $8.46, and computes the standard deviation of the sample to be $1.15.

These travelers are known, in the parlance of the hospitality trade, as “no-shows”. To protect against no-shows and late cancellations, hotels invariably overbook rooms. A recent study examined the problems of over-booking rooms in the hotel industry. The following data, extracted from the study represent the daily numbers of late cancellations and no-shows for a random sample of 10 days at a hotel: 18, 16, 16, 16, 14, 18, 16, 18, 14, 19. c) Count the number of measurements that actually fall within the interval(x¯−2s, x¯+2s){ and express the interval count as a percentage of total number of measurementsarrow_forwardOne cable company claims that it has excellent customer service. In fact, the company advertises that a technician will arrive within 55 minutes after a service call is placed. One frustrated customer believes this is not accurate, claiming that it takes over 55 minutes for the cable technician to arrive. The customer asks a simple random sample of 4 other cable customers how long it has taken for the cable technician to arrive when they have called for one. The sample mean for this group is 62.1 minutes with a standard deviation of 8.3 minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test the customer’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic.
