Q12. The maker of Surya bulbs wants to demonstrate that their bulbs last on an average of at
least 100 hours longer than Ortan bulbs. Two independent random samples of 100 bulbs of each
kind are selected. The sample average lives for Surya bulbs found to be 1550 hours and for Ortan
bulbs is 2020 hours. Assume that the standard deviation s1 is 75 and the standard deviation s2 is
60 respectively. Find the test Statistic F to test this claim (Round off up to 3 decimal places)
a. 1.306
b. 1.562
c. 0.932
d. 0.653

- The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have historically had a mean of 1775 pounds and a standard deviation of 60 pounds. The company believes that, due to an improvement in the manufacturing process, the mean breaking strength, μ, of the cables is now greater than 1775 pounds. To see if this is the case, 90 newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be 1788 pounds. Can we support, at the 0.05level of significance, the claim that the population mean breaking strength of the newly-manufactured cables is greater than 1775 pounds? Assume that the population standard deviation has not changed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. a. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hyposthesis H1. b. Find the value of the test statistic. c. Find the p-value. d. Can we…arrow_forwardAssume that weights of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of 79 kg and a standard deviation of 20 kg. What percentage of individual adult females have weights between 73 kg and 85 kg? If samples of 64 adult females are randomly selected and the mean weight is computed for each sample, what percentage of the sample means are between 73 kg and 85 kg? The percentage of individual adult females with weights between 73 kg and 85 kg is 23.6 % (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The percentage of samples of 64 adult females with mean weights between 73 kg and 85 kg is (Round to one decimal place as needed.)arrow_forwardA pizza delivery chain advertises that it will deliver your pizza in 20 minutes from when the order is placed. Being a skeptic, you decide to test and see if the mean delivery time is actually more than 20minutes. For the simple random sample of 6customers who record the amount of time it takes for each of their pizzas to be delivered, the mean is 21.9 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.1minutes. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Perform a hypothesis test using a 0.025level of significance. Step 3 of 3 : Draw a conclusion and interpret the decision.

- The mean SAT score in mathematics, u, is 586. The standard deviation of these scores is 29. A special preparation course claims that its graduates will score higher, on average, than the mean score 586. A random sample of 50 students completed the course, and their mean SAT score in mathematics was 588. At the 0,1 level of significance, can we conclude that the preparation course does what it daims? Assume that the standard deviation of the scores of course graduates is also 29. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

This year, 100 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 113.6 points with a standard deviation of 134. Last year, 95 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 116.4 points with a standard deviation of 16.8. Assume that the population standard deviations of the test scores of all new hires in the current year and the test socores of all new hires last year can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, as the samples used were quite large. Construct a 90 confidence interval for the difference between the mean test score , of new hires from the current year and the mean test score , of new hires from last year. Then tind the lower limit and upper limit of the 905% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answeis to at least two decimal places.

The amount of time that all of their customers access their home internet connection is normally distributed. They access it for an average of 8.9 hours per day with a standard deviation of 2.1 hours. What proportion of samples of 100 will spend less than an average of 9 hours on their home internet per day? Your answer should have 4 decimal places.arrow_forwardThe ages of a group of 138 randomly selected adult females have a standard deviation of 16.1 years. Assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population, so let o = 16.1 years for the sample size calculation. How many female statistics student ages must be obtained in order to estimate the mean age of all female statistics students? Assume that we want 99% confidence that the sample mean is within one-half year of the population mean. Does it seem reasonable to assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population? The required sample size is (Round up to the nearest whole number as needed.) Does it seem reasonable to assume that the ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population? O A. Yes, because statistics students are typically younger than people in the general population. OB. No, because statistics…arrow_forward
