Question
Hypothesis Testing Review - Error Analysis

Transcribed Image Text:It currently takes users a mean of 15 minutes to install the most popular computer program made
by RodeTech, a software design company. After changes have been made to the program the
company executives want to know if the new mean is now different from 15 minutes so that they
can change their advertising accordingly. A simple random sample of 20 new customers are
asked to time how long it takes for them to install the software. The sample mean is 14.1
minutes with a standard deviation of 1.9 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of
significance to see if the mean installation time has changed.

Critical Value: invT(.025, df 20-1= 19): +/- 2.093
p-value: 0.0475 (on calculator) p-value 0.0475 <0.05 Reject the Null
Conclusion: At the 0.05 level of significance the evidence collected supports the claim that the
mean installation time is no longer 15 minutes. The company may need to change its advertising
(i.e. there is sufficient evidence).

Transcribed Image Text:Hypothesis Testing Review - Error Analysis
CNN/Money reports that the mean cost of a speeding ticket, including court fees, was $150.00 in
2002. A local police department claims that this amount has increased. To test their claim, they
collect data from a simple random sample of 160 drivers who have been fined for speeding in the
last year, and find that they paid a mean of $154.00 per ticket. Assuming that the population
standard deviation is $17.54, is there sufficient evidence to support the police department's claim
at the 0.01 level of significance?

The proportion of Americans and Japanese from nationally representative samples of adult citizens from each country who have been hospitalized for one or more days due to COVID-10 infection is reported below.

Here is a table of the results: gcSeat <- xtabs(~seat,data=m111survey)gcSeat ## seat## 1_front 2_middle 3_back## 27 32 12 Now at Georgetown most classrooms are fairly small, with at about four rows actually in use: the first row is obviously the Front; most people would think of the second and third rows as the Middle; the fourth row would count as the Back. If preferences for the four rows are exactly the same out there in the GC population, then one would expect that: 25% of the population prefers the Front; 50% prefer the middle (twice as many rows in the Middle, after all); 25% prefer the back. We wonder if the available data provide strong evidence against the idea of equal preference among all four rows.
