suppose in a sample of 100 customer the average waiting time is 22.54 minutes
with a standard deviation of 10 minutes
Calculate the t test stat for testing the claim the average waiting time is more than 20 minutes
also find the pvalue for testing the claim by entering
probability t distribution df=99>test stat
into wolframalpha.com
for example if your test is 1,2
enter
probability t distribution df=99>1.2 into wolframalpha.com
Note that in question you use wolframalpha.com , You might not have access to wolframalpha,com in the exam but you do have access to the t table,
using the t table t,0.05,99 =1.66
so you know the Pvalue will be less than 0.05 if the test stat is more than 1.66
It is given that
Sample mean, x̄ = 22.54
Population mean, μ = 20
Standard deviation, s = 10
Sample size, n = 99

- Assume that male and female heights are both normally distributed with a male average of 69.1 inches with standard deviation of 2.8 inches, and a female average of 64.0 inches with standard deviation 2.5 inches. If a male and female go out on a date, what is the probability that the female is taller than the male?
