- Suppose an airline claims that its flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most 15 minutes. It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than 15 minutes. Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for his next 25 flights. The average delay for those 25 flights is 22 minutes with a standard deviation of 15 minutes.arrow_forwardGiven two normally distributed populations with equal means and variances of 100 and 80, what is the probability that samples of size n1 = 25 and n2 = 16 will yield a value of mean "x1 - "x2 greater than or equal to 8?arrow_forward3) A professor claims that the final exam grades are more widely dispersed in Principles classes compared to upper-level classes. In a sample of 101 Principles final exams, the standard deviation is 16 while in a sample of 30 upper-level class final exams the standard deviation is 13. Test the hypothesis at the 10% level of significance that the 2 variances are different.arrow_forward
- The university data center has two main computers. The center wants to examine whether computer 1 is receiving tasks that require processing times comparable to those of computer 2 . A random sample of 12 processing times from computer 1 showed a mean of 69 seconds with a standard deviation of 19 seconds, while a random sample of 15 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1 ) showed a mean of 59 seconds with a standard deviation of 17 seconds. Assume that the populations of processing times are normally distributed for each of the two computers and that the variances are equal. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean processing time of computer 1 , μ1 , and the mean processing time of computer 2 , μ2 . Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places.
