Using traditional methods it takes 8.8 hours to receive a basic driving license. A new license training method using Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique on 17 students and observed that they had a mean of 8.4 hours with a variance of 2.89. Is there evidence at the 0.1 level that the technique performs differently than the traditional method? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 4 of 5 : Determine the decision rule for rejecting the null hypothesis. Round your answer to three decimal places.
A local bank claims that the waiting time for its customers to be served is the lowest in the area. A competitor bank checks the waiting times at both banks. The sample statistics are listed below. Test the local bank's claim. Use the information given below. Use a significance level of .05 and assume the variances are equal.

Hi, I'm stuck with question 2. Question 1 given the example for this question
A two-sample hypothesis test is comparing the averages of the following populations. Population 1 is the salary of female employees and Population 2 is the salary of male employees. A hypothesis test was conducted to see if the average salary of males is greater than the average salary of females. Using the following as the output of the test, state the P-value and interpret the results in context to the problem. Use a significance level of 5% Mean Variance Observations Hypothesized Mean Difference df t Stat P(T<=t) one-tail t Critical one-tail P(T<=t) two-tail t Critical two-tail Females Males 65,852.00 89,562.00 1,003.00 1,025.00 45 30 0 37 -1.26 0.1200 1.3300 0.2400 1.2800 For the toolbar, press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac).

Using traditional methods, it takes 8.7 hours to receive a basic driving license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 12 students and observed that they had a mean of 8.4 hours with a variance of 2.56. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error. (round to 3 decimals). [st.error] 2. What is thet-obtained? (round to 3 decimals). 3. What is the t-cv? (exact value) 4. What is your conclusion? Only type "Reject" or Retain"
Class 1 Final Sample Size: 30 Sample Variance: 80.55 Sample Mean: 44.2917 Class 2 Final Sample Size:30 Sample Variance: 55.29 Sample Mean: 36.4833 The assignment says to use the Z test for means and assume the hypothesized difference is 0. 1. Is there a significant difference in the means of the two finals at the .01 level of significance? 2. Why or why not?
when applying ANOVA which of the following steps would be important: a. the standard deviation of all the populations involved in the experiment is constant. b. the sample size of each sample is atleast 10. c. the population group that are being considerded are not more than 5. d. calculating side- by- side box plots will give a good visual representation of the variance between and within treatments. e. the samples are coming from normally distributed populations.

An intercity bus company is attempting to improve the reliability of its service. One manager claims that the variability (i.e., standard deviation) in arrivals from the posted schedule at the central bus depot is approximately 3 minutes. Another manager disagrees, suspecting that the spread in times of arrival is different. Using variance, what is the population parameter under consideration? What hypotheses should the managers test in this situation?
