The mean braking distance for Make A is 43 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.6 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 46 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.5 feet. At α=0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles?

For a random sampl of 40 females the mean was 77.5 bpm. The population standard deviation for males is 10.3 bpm and 11.6 bpm for females. Using the P-Value method and test the claim that there is a difference in mean pulse rates. Use alpha = 0.03. Step 5: There is enough evidence to reject the claim that there is a difference in pulse rates for males and females. O There is enough evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in pulse rates for males and females. There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that there is a difference in pulse rates for males and females. There is not enough evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in pulse rates for males and females. SAMSUNG 女 & 4 5 7 8 r t y %24arrow_forward
- A researcher compares two compounds (1 and 2) used in the manufacture of car tires that are designed to reduce braking distances for SUVs equipped with the tires. The mean braking distance for SUVs equipped with tires made with compound 1 is 65 feet, with a population standard deviation of 13.6. The mean braking distance for SUVS equipped with tires made with compound 2 is 69 feet, with a population standard deviation of 8.5. Suppose that a sample of 55 braking tests are performed for each compound. Using these results, test the claim that the braking distance for SUVs equipped with tires using compound 1 is shorter than the braking distance when compound 2 is used. Let μ₁ be the true mean braking distance corresponding to compound 1 and μ₂ be the true mean braking distance corresponding to compound 2. Use the 0.05 level of significance.
