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 1.9 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.
c. Find the P-value of the test statistic.
d. Does the use of the single line appear to reduce the variation among waiting times?

Suppose a random sample of 100 membership member shoppers who recently made a purchase on the web site yielded a mean amount spent of $58and a standard deviation of $55.Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Is there evidence that the population mean amount spent per year on the web site by membership member shoppers is different from $51? (Use a 0.01 level of significance.)

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 superintendant of the school district takes a random sample of 21 scores from all of the students who took the test. She sees that the mean score is 128 with a standard deviation of 41.4416. The superintendant wants to know if the standard deviation has changed this year. Previously, the population standard deviation was 25. Is there evidence that the standard deviation of test scores has increased at the α=0.005 level? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step 1 of 5 : State the null and alternative hypotheses.

One health care information systems company considers a quarter a "failure" if its sales level that quarter is in the bottom 10% of all quarterly sales levels. Determine the sales level (in millions of dollars) that is the cutoff between quarters that are considered "failures" by that company and quarters that are not.

The mean amount of sugar in Beverage B is 33.9 grams with a standard deviation of 0.6 grams. The researchers believe that Beverage A has less sugar than Beverage B, on average.
