Question

A data set includes wait times (minutes) for the Tower of Terror ride at Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios theme park at 5:00 PM. Using 37 of the times to test the claim that the mean of all such wait times is more than 30 minutes, the accompanying Excel display is obtained. Test the given claim by using the display provided from Excel. Use a 0.05 significance level. 1. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. 2. Identify the test statistic. 3. Identify the P-value. 4. State the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. FILL IN THE BANKS PLEASE

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
