The quality-control manager at a compact fluorescont light bulb (CFL) factory needs to determine whether the mean life of a large shipment of CFLS is equal to 747 hours The population standard deviation is 1,120 hours A random sample of 64 light bulbs indicates a sample mean life of 7,162 hours a. Al the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the mean lide is different from 7470 hours? b. Compute the p-value and interpret its meaning c. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean ide of the ight bulbs

The mean systolic blood pressure for white males aged 35-44 in Canada is U. A report said that the mean blood pressure and standard deviation of a sample of 13 diabetic males aged 35-44 are 128.53 and 7.59, respectively. Let  μ  denote the true mean systolic blood pressure for diabetic males aged 35-44. H0:  μ  = 126.38                  versus             Ha:  μ  > 126.38 What is the p-value? A.) 0.836 B.) 0.327 C.) 0.418 D.) 0.164

Currently patrons at the library speak at an average of 60 decibels. Will this average decline after the installation of a new computer plug in station? After the plug in station was built, the librarian randomly recorded 61 people speaking at the library. Their average decibel level was 57.2 and their standard deviation was 7. What can be concluded at the the a = 0.10 level of significance?

A tire manufacturer claims that the mean life of its tire is 75,000 miles. The mean of a sample of 50 tires is 74,200 miles with a standard deviation of 2300 miles. Using an alpha of 5%, does the manufacturer’s claim appear to hold ture? Explain.

Records indicate that the mean weight of mature rainbow trout in Eagle Creek is 1.75 kg with a standard deviation of 0.33 kg. After years of marked oxygen depletion from pollutants in the creek, a biologist wants to see if the standard deviation, o, of weights has changed. The biologist measures the weights of 20 randomly chosen mature rainbow trout from the creek and finds that the sample standard deviation is 0.38 kg. Assume the current weights of mature rainbow trout in the creek follow a normal distribution. Does the biologist have sufficient evidence to conclude that the population standard deviation, o, differs from 0.33 kg? To answer, complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test. Use the 0.10 level of significance.

A newspaper article noted that the mean life span for 35 male symphony conductors was 73.2   years with a standard deviation of 8.7 . Males in the general population have a mean life span of 69.5 years. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that male symphony conductors have a mean life span that is greater than 69.5 years. a. Define the parameter     A. mu   ​= The mean life span of the 35 male symphony conductors in the sample   B. p​ = The proportion of all male symphony conductors who life more than 69.5 years   C. mu   ​= The mean life span of all male symphony conductors   D. mu   ​= The mean life span of all males   b. State the null and alternative hypotheses     A. Upper H 0 : mu equals 73.2    Upper H 1 : mu greater than 73.2     B. Upper H 0 : mu equals 69.5 Upper H 1 : mu greater than 69.5     C. Upper H 0 : mu greater than 69.5 Upper H 1 : mu equals 69.5     D. Upper H 0…

During the busy season, it is important for the shipping manager at ShipMundo to be able to estimate the time it takes the loading crew to load a truck. The shipping manager has found that she can model the load times using a normal distribution with a mean of 152 minutes and a standard deviation of 15 minutes. Use this table or the ALEKS calculator to find the percentage of load times between 116 minutes and 149 minutes according to the model. For your intermediate computations, use four or more decimal places. Give your final answer to two decimal places (for example 98.23%).
