- Leave all probabilities as percentages, define x on all problems with data. Simple random samples of high interest (8.9%) and low interest (6.3%) mortgages were obtained. For the 40 high interest mortgages, the borrowers had a mean FICO credit score of 594.8 and a standard deviation of 12.2. For the 40 low interest mortgages, borrowers had a mean FICO credit score of 785.2 and a standard deviation of 16.3. Use an alpha level of 0.01, and a two tailed test of hypothesis to test the claim that the mean FICO score borrowers with a high interest mortgage is the same as the mean FICO score of borrowers with the low interest mortgage.arrow_forwardSuppose that the lifetimes of a certain kind of light bulb are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 120 hours.
