Question
Mrs. Sal is considering of running a saloon business. The present owner claimed that over the past 6
years the average daily revenue has been RM 675 with a standard deviation of RM 75. A sample of 30
selected days reveals daily average revenue of RM 625. Use p- value approach.
State the null and alternative hypotheses.

The distribution of finishing timefor women was approximately normal with mean 259 minutes and standard deviation 32minutes. The distribution of finishing time for men was approximately normal with mean 242minutes and standard deviation 29 minutes. (a) The finishing time for Clay was 289 minutes. Calculate and interpret the standardized scorefor Clay’s marathon time. Show your work. (b) The finishing time for Kathy was 272 minutes. What proportion of women who ran themarathon had a finishing time less than Kathy’s? Show your work. (c) The standard deviation of finishing time is greater for women than for men. What does thisindicate about the finishing times of the women who ran the marathon compared to thefinishing times of the men who ran the marathon?arrow_forward
- Thanks to an initiative to recruit top students, an administrator at a college claims that this year's entering class must have a greater mean IQ score than that of entering classes from previous years. The administrator tests a random sample of 17 of this year's entering students and finds that their mean IQ score is 112, with a standard deviation of 15. The college records indicate that the mean IQ score for entering students from previous years is 111. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the population mean IQ score, μ, of this year's class is greater than that of previous years? To answer, assume that the IQ scores of this year's entering class are approximately normally distributed. Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1.

Over the last year the hospital’s CEO has beenimplementing various programs to try to reduce the waiting time. You are asked to testwhether the wait times have changed from the previous average. Not knowing if thewait times have increased or decreased, you hypothesize that the wait times are not 87.5days. You randomly select 100 cases and calculate the average wait time, which is 84days. Use ?= 0.05arrow_forward
- Five years ago, the average term length for a new car loan was 69.3 months. Loan analysts noticed that the average term lengths have been getting longer and think that now the average term length is more than 69.3 months. A sample of 80 new car loans from from the first quarter of 2021 randomly selected. The sample mean term length is 72 months. This data is widely studied, so we know that that population standard deviation for loan term length is 12 months. Find the test statistic and p-value for this hypothesis test.
