Question
Nationally, patients who go to the emergency room wait an average of 5 hours to be admitted into the hospital. Do patients at rural hospitals have a different waiting time? The 11 randomly selected patients who went to the emergency room at rural hospitals waited an average of 2.7 hours to be admitted into the hospital. The standard deviation for these 11 patients was 2.9 hours. What can be concluded at the the αα = 0.05 level of significance level of significance?

- Salvatore, as the director of a regional bank, is concerned about the wait times of customers at the four branches. He randomly selects 48 patrons at each branch and records the waiting time for each patron. The results of the samples are shown below. The Alvrine branch has a mean waiting time of 13.49 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.97 minutes.The Durham branch has a mean waiting time of 12.61 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.89 minutes.The Hanover branch has a mean waiting time of 11.06 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.46 minutes.The Mascomonet branch has a mean waiting time of 12.89 minutes with a standard deviation of 3.12 minutes.arrow_forwardThe manager of the shipping department of a mail-order operation located in New York advertises that the length of time it takes for customers in California to receive their orders is 8 days. However, the office has been receiving complaints from customers in California stating that orders do not arrive in time advertised. To learn more about this potential problem, the manager chose a random sample of 15 orders. The sample mean of delivery times was 12.25 days. The sample standard deviation was 3.67 days.The average time it takes for all California customers to receive their orders is to be estimated with a 99% confidence interval. a. The ? − or ? −value that should be used to construct this interval is b.

- Suppose that the average distance PGA tour players can drive a golf ball off the tee is 295.3 yards with a standard deviation of 15.15 yards. Suppose a randomly collected sample of 10 PGA tour players returned an average driving distance of 295.44 yards. Does this sample provide evidence that PGA tour players have an average driving distance that exceeds 295.3 yards at the 5% significance level? Assume that driving distance is normally distributed.arrow_forwardCan someone please help? Thank you.arrow_forwardDo political sclence classes require more writing than history classes?

- According to a recent poll, the percentage of Americans who would vote for the incumbent president is 53%. If a random sample of 100 people in New York results in 45% who would vote for the incumbent, test the claim that the percentage of people in New York who would vote for the incumbent president is different from 53%. Use the following results and a 0.10 significance level to state your decision about H0. H0 : p=0.53 H1 : p≠0.53 test statistic: z = -1.6 p value = 0.1090arrow_forwardOne group of 50 students took a distance learning class, while another group of 25 took the same course in a traditional face-to-face classroom. Both group were given the same mid-term test. The average score of the distance learning group was 52.0 with a standard deviation of 15.4. The average score for the group who took the course in the traditional format was 58.0 with a standard deviation of 18.0. At a significance level of 0.1, can it be concluded that there is a difference in average score of students between the distance learning and face-to face instruction formats? Determine which of the following formulations of the hypotheses is appropriate and enter the corresponding number in the answer text box. Note: Index "v" refers to the population of students taking distance learning classes (virtual mode) and index "" refers to the population of students taking face-to-face classes (traditional mode).
