- Daily Driving The average number of miles a person drives per day is 24. A researcher wishes to see if people over age 60 drive less than 24 miles per day. She selects a random sample of 25 drivers over the age of 60 and finds that the mean number of miles driven is 23.4. The population standard deviation is 4.1 miles. At a = 0.01, is there sufficient evidence that those drivers over 60 years old drive less than 24 miles per day on average? Assume that the variable is normally distributed. Use the critical value method with tables. Part 1 of 5 State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis. H: u = 24 not claim Η: μ 24 claim The hypothesis test is a one-tailed test. Part: 1/5 Part 2 of 5 Find the critical value(s). Round the answer to at least two decimal places. If there is more than one critical value, separate them with commas. Critical value(s):arrow_forwardThe distribution of study times for first-year students follow a Normal distribution with a standard deviation σ = 48 minutes. Suppose a sample of 344 students found that the mean study time for these students was x¯= 170 minutes per week. Use this to find a 94.38% confidence interval to estimate the mean study time for all students. We are 94.38% confident that the mean study time for first-year students is between the following ( answer) minutes and ( answer) minutes. The answer needs to be the mean study time for first-year students is between what amount of minutes and the following minutes.arrow_forwardResearchers examined the bill color (in hue degree) of male and female zebra finches.

She used a random sample of 21 employees. The standard deviation of the sample was 5.4 hours. Estimate the population mean for the number of hours lost due to accidents for the company, using a 99% confidence interval. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Use a graphing calculator and round the answers to the nearest whole number.arrow_forwardFor a sample, a score that is 12 points above the mean has a z-score of z = 1.20.
