Question
![5. Cross stitch is a needlecraft that merges sewing and embroidery using x-
shaped stitches to form a pattern. According to a crafter at Malaysia art
exhibition, a large (2 x 2 meters) cross stitch typically takes at least 31 months
to stitch. The average amount of time spent by a group of 16 cross stitch
crafters to complete one was 25 months, with a standard deviation of 7.2
months.
a) Examine the crafter's claim by using a 2.5% significance level. Assume that
the time taken to finish a cross stitch is normally distributed for all cross stitch
crafters. [CO3, C4]
b) Describe the Type I error in part a). Present the probability of creating this
error. [CO2, A3 & A2]
c) Discuss your decision of part (a) if the probability of creating a Type I error
is 0.001. [CO3, C2]](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/a6d1e984-ade5-4e7c-9cc2-4c714be55a8c/42c78836-1982-4fcd-877f-986631f046a0/t48m7j_thumbnail.jpeg)

A few former coaches are helping the players prepare for the NFL tryout by tracking their practice performance. One coach calculates the athlete's speed in feet per second each round and then finds the mean and standard deviation for all rounds. Since the workout tested at the NFL tryout is the 40 yard dash, the coach decides to convert these speeds to yards per second instead of feet per second, where 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Which of the following best describes what would happen to the summary statistics for the athletes? (A) The mean would increase, but the standard deviation would remain the same. (B) Both the mean and standard deviation would remain the same. (C) Both the mean and standard deviation would decrease. (D) The mean would decrease, but the standard deviation would remain the same. (E) The mean would decrease, but the standard deviation would increase.arrow_forward
