Employees in a large company are entitiled to 15-minute coffee breaks. A random sample of the duration of coffee breaks for 10 employees was taken with the times shown below. Assuming that the times are normally distributed, is there enough evidence at the 19% significance level to indicate that on average employees are taking longer coffe breaks than they are entitled to? Data Collected in 14 16 15 4 18 20 17 18 16 6. 18 10 16 The alpha error =?

The Firearm Injury Surveillance Study (FISS) records whether the shooting arose out of a fight and the type of firearm used to cause the injury (here, handguns vs. rifles and shotguns). With an alpha of .01, conduct a five-step hypothesis test to determine if the variables are independent. Please fill out the chart provided and provide calculations.

For a special pre-New Year's Eve show, a radio station personality has invited a small panel of prominent local citizens to help demonstrate to listeners the adverse effect of alcohol on reaction time, thus drinking an alcohol increases reaction time. The reaction times (in seconds) before and after consuming four drinks are in Sheet 11. Test a hypothesis to see if the showman claim is supported by the given data (use alpha=0.01 significance level).

To combat antibiotic resistance, the Quality Improvement Consortium recommends a throat swab to confirm strep throat before a physician prescribes antibiotics to children under age 5. Nationally, 40 percent of children under 5 who received antibiotics did not have a throat swab. The Colorado Department of Health took a random sample of 60 children under the age of 5 who received antibiotics for throat infections and found that 18 did not have a throat swab. At α = .05, is this a statistically significant reduction over last year’s national rate of 40 percent? (a-1) Calculate the critical value. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Critical value _____ (a-2) Calculate the test statistic. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

To combat antibiotic resistance, the Quality Improvement Consortium recommends a throat swab to confirm strep throat before a physician prescribes antibiotics to children under age 5. Nationally, 40 percent of children under 5 who received antibiotics did not have a throat swab. The Colorado Department of Health took a random sample of 100 children under the age of 5 who received antibiotics for throat infections and found that 30 did not have a throat swab. At α = .05, is this a statistically significant reduction over last year’s national rate of 40 percent? (a-1) Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses.

A random sample of eight pairs of twins was randomly assigned to treatment A or treatment B. The data are given in the following table. Is there significant evidence that the two treatments differ using an alpha .05paired t test.
In a survey of 460 drivers from the South, 397 wear a seat belt. In a survey of 340 drivers from the Northeast, 281 wear a seat belt. At alpha equals 0.06 , can you support the claim that the proportion of drivers who wear seat belts is greater in the South than in the Northeast? Assume the random samples are independent. Complete parts (a) through (e).
Two samples of sizes 25 and 20 are independently drawn from two normal populations, where the unknown population variances are assumed to be equal. The number of degrees of freedom of the equal-variances t-test statistic is ?
A manufacturer of flashlight batteries claims that the average life of her batteries is larger than 400 hours. Peter, as a quality assurance officer in the manufacturing company, took a random sample of 13 batteries from a day’s production and used them continuously until they failed to work. The lifetime (hours) until failure was:342 426 317 545 264 451 1049 631 512 266 492 562 298 (a) At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence that the manufacturer’s claim is correct? (b) What is the p-value?
The average expenditure per student (based on average daily attendance) for a certain school year was $10,337 with a population standard deviation of $1560. A survey for the next school year of 150 randomly selected students resulted in a sample mean of $10, 798. Find the Z statistics? Should the null hypothesis be rejected at alpha = .05 level of significance?
In an air pollution experiment, two types of sensors for measuring the amount of sulfur monoxide in the atmosphere are being compared. The goal is to see if the different types of instruments produce measurements with the same variability. For the instrument, the following readings were taken. Test the null hypothesis with a two-tailed test at the 0.05 level of significance, assuming the population of measurements is generally normally distributed.
An auto manufacturer claims that the variance of the gas mileage in a model of a hybrid vehicle is 0.16. A random sample of 30 vehicles has a variance of 0.26. At alpha = 0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the claim? Assume the population is normally distributed.
