Question
The data table contains waiting times of customers at a bank, where customers enter a single waiting line that feeds three teller windows. Test the claim that the standard deviation of waiting times is less than
1.7
minutes, which is the standard deviation of waiting times at the same bank when separate waiting lines are used at each teller window. Use a significance level of
0.025.
Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
a. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below.
b. Compute the test statistic.
χ2=
c. Find the P-value of the test statistic.
The P-value of the test statistic is
d. Does the use of the single line appear to reduce the variation among waiting times?
There
is/is not
sufficient evidence to conclude that the single line reduced the variation among waiting times because
H0
is
rejected/fail
by the hypothesis test.

A researcher surveyed 15 randomly selected college students and found that they averaged 87.3 liters of alcohol consumed per year with a standard deviation of 15 liters. What can be concluded at the the a = 0.05 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Но: ?

The p-value is ? v a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... the null hypothesis. O The data suggest the population mean is not significantly less than 89 at a = 0.05, so there is statistically insignificant evidence to conclude that the population mean amount of alcohol consumed by college students…arrow_forwardSuppose that Kira is measuring the amount of sleep that the residents of Decatur County get per night. She does not know the standard deviation, nor does she know the distribution of the amount of sleep all Decatur residents get. Therefore, she prefers to obtain a large sample. Kira thus enlists the help of her friend, Jadzia, who works for OkHarmony. This popular dating service finds matches for its clients by how they respond to numerous survey questions. Jadzia slips Kira's question into the mix, and from the member database of over a thousand male and female singles, she is able to obtain a sample of 101 responses. The sample mean is 6.62 hours a night with a sample standard deviation of 1.19 hours. There are no outliers in the sample. Kira plans to perform a t-test with an alpha level of α = 0.05 on the hypothesis that Decatur residents get an average of less than 8 hours of sleep per night. Evaluate all of the following five statements as true or false. The sample is a simple…arrow_forward
- The mean ACT score for 43 male high school students is 21.1 and the standard deviation is 5.0. The mean ACT score for 56 female high school students is 20.9 and the standard deviation is 4.7. At the 1% significance level, can you reject the claim that male and female high school students have equal ACT score averages? Be sure to use the p-value to make your conclusion.arrow_forwardIn 2017, the SAT was scored out of 1600. The average SAT scores among the 925 Texas students who stated their intended major was Mathematics was 1148. The average SAT score among the 1026 Texas students who stated their intended major was History was 1031. Assume the true standard deviation for both populations is 193. (a.) Test the hypothesis at the 1% significance level that future Texas math majors had a higher SAT score on average in 2017 than future Texas history majors. (b.) Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference in their SAT scores (Let μ1 be the mean math major score and μ2 be the mean history major score).arrow_forwardListed in the data table are IQ scores for a random sample of subjects with medium lead levels in their blood.
