- Insurance Company A claims that its customers pay less for car insurance, on average, than customers of its competitor, Company B. You wonder if this is true, so you decide to compare the average monthly costs of similar insurance policies from the two companies. For a random sample of 7 people who buy insurance from Company A, the mean cost is $150 per month with a standard deviation of $16. For 12 randomly selected customers of Company B, you find that they pay a mean of $160 per month with a standard deviation of $14. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal to test Company A's claim at the 0.10 level of significance. Let customers of Company A be Population 1 and let customers of Company B be Population 2. Step 2 of 3: Compute the value of the test statistic.

Study participants were divided into two groups. 49 participants in group 1 received the medication; 42 participants in group 2 received a placebo. After a period of six months, group 1 had a mean of 4 migraines. It is known that the population standard deviation for this group is 1.3 migraines. Group 2 had a mean of 5.4 migraines. The population standard deviation for this group is 1.7 migraines. Can we conclude that the medication reduces the population mean number of migraines? Use αα =0.01. Note: If t-test, then unequal variances are assumed. Question a)Let: μ1μ1 = the population mean number of migraines with the medication μ2μ2 = the population mean number of migraines with the placebo (Step 1) State the null and alternative hypotheses by selecting the appropriate symbol, and identify which tailed test: H0:H0: μ1μ1 μ2μ2 H1:H1: μ1μ1 μ2μ2 Which tailed test…arrow_forwardA certain prescription medicine is supposed to contain an average of 250 parts per million (ppm) of a certain chemical. If the concentration is higher than this, the drug may cause harmful side effects; if it is lower, the drug may be ineffective. The manufacturer runs a check to see if the mean concentration in a large shipment conforms to the target level of 250 ppm or not. A simple random sample of 100 portions is tested, and the sample mean concentration is found to be 247 ppm. The sample concentration standard deviation is s = 12 ppm. What are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses? Group of answer choices H 0: x̄ = 250 vs. H a: x̄ < 250 H 0: x̄ = 250 vs. H a: x̄ ≠ 250 H 0: x̄ = 250 vs. H a: x̄ > 250 H 0: μ = 250 vs. H a:μ < 250 H 0: μ = 250 vs. H a: μ ≠ 250 H 0: μ = 250 vs. H a: μ > 250arrow_forward
- Fran is training for her first marathon, and she wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean number of miles run each week by group runners and individual runners who are training for marathons. She interviews 42 randomly selected people who train in groups and finds that they run a mean of 47.1 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for group runners is known to be 4.4 miles per week. She also interviews a random sample of 47 people who train on their own and finds that they run a mean of 48.5 miles per week. Assume that the population standard deviation for people who run by themselves is 1.8 miles per week. Test the claim at the 0.01 level of significance. Let group runners training for marathons be Population 1 and let individual runners training for marathons be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic.

The owners decide to look at the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store on days immediately following days when the radio ads are played as compared to the mean for those days following days when no radio advertisements are played. They found that for 10 days following no advertisements, the mean was 18.3 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.8 customers. On 7 days following advertising, the mean was 19.4 purchasing customers with a standard deviation of 1.6 customers. Test the claim, at the 0.02 level, that the mean number of customers who make a purchase in the store is lower for days following no advertising compared to days following advertising.

The distribution of salaries is assumed to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of $5,778. Someone would like to determine if registered nurses in Ohio have a greater average pay. To investigate this claim, a sample of 220 registered nurses is selected from the Ohio Board of Nursing, and each is asked their annual salary. The mean salary for this sample of 220 nurses is found to be $55,504.488. Completely describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean salary when samples of size 220 are selected. mean: μ x-bar = ____ standard deviation: σ x-bar = ____ shape: the distribution of is ____________(not normally distributed/normally distributed) because ___________ (the sample size is large/the sample size is not large/the population of salaries is normally distributed/the population of salaries is not normally distributed)arrow_forward
