Question
Hello, I am having trouble with this math problem. Can you please explain to me steps of this math problem. Thank you.
The lengths of time (in years) it took a random sample of 32 former smokers to quit smoking permanently are listed. Assume the population standard deviation is 5.3 years. At α= 0.07, is there enough evidence to reject the claim that the mean time it takes smokers to quit smoking permanently is 14 years? Complete parts (a) through (e).

- Question 1arrow_forwardIn the year 2033, katy perry is a leading traveling nurse. Katy is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Katy takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using α = 0.05, answer the following questions. g) What is the interpretation (not your conclusions) of the p value in the context of the problem you found in part e? h) What are your conclusions in the context of the problem? Relate your conclusions to the test statistic and critical value, confidence interval and p value.arrow_forwardQUESTION 6 For the major airlines, 21% of all flights depart at least 15 minutes late with a standard deviation of 5%. Currently, 24% of all American Airlines flights depart at least 15 minutes late. If American wants to be in the top 10% of all major airlines with the FEWEST late departures, to what level must American cut its late departures? (please round your answer to 1 decimal place) Please incorporate Excell or graphing calculator functions in your answer.arrow_forward
