Preliminary data analyses indicate that you can reasonably use a t-test to conduct each of the hypothesis tests required in Exercises Dirt Bikes. Dirt bikes are simpler and lighter motorcycles that are designed for off-road events. Specifications for dirt bikes can be found through Motorcycle USA on their website www.motorcycle-usa.com. A random sample of 30 dirt bikes have a mean fuel capacity of 1.91 gallons with a standard deviation of 0.74 gallons. At the 10% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean fuel tank capacity of all dirt bikes is less than 2 gallons?

The Medical Rehabilitation Education Foundation reports that the average cost of rehabilitation for stroke victims is $24, 672. To see if the average cost of rehabilitation is higher at a particular hospital, a researcher selects a random sample of 35 stroke victims at the hospital and finds that the average cost of their rehabilitation is $26, 343. The standard deviation of the population is $3, 252. a. What is the null hypothesis? b. What is the alternative hypothesis? c. ) What is the test statistic?
The Medical Rehabilitation Education Foundation reports that the average cost of rehabilitation for stroke victims is $24, 672. To see if the average cost of rehabilitation is different at a particular hospital, a researcher selects a random sample of 35 stroke victims at the hospital and finds that the average cost of their rehabilitation is $26, 343. The standard deviation of the population is $3, 252. (a) What is the null hypothesis? (b) What is the alternative hypothesis? (c) Is this a one-tailed or two-tailed test?
The ?2 value for a one-tailed (upper tail) hypothesis test at 95% confidence and a sample size of 20 is
(a) A developer believes that the standard deviation of the house price is greater than RM230,000. At 5% significance level, is there enough evidence to support the developer's claim? b) Test at 99% confidence level that the variances of the house price is different between State A and State B, and interpret your finding.
The Transportation Security Administration would like to compare the average amount of time it takes passengers to pass through airport security at Philadelphia versus Orlando during peak times. A random sample of 25 travelers in Philadelphia spent an average of 14.6 minutes to pass through airport security with a sample standard deviation of 5.8 minutes. A random sample of 27 travelers in Orlando spent an average of 11.5 minutes to pass through airport security with a sample standard deviation of 4.9 minutes. Perform a hypothesis test using α = 0.05 to determine if the average time to pass through security in Philadelphia is more than the average time to pass through security in Orlando. Assume the population variances for time through security at these two locations are equal. Hint: the alternative hypothesis should be μ1 - μ2 > 0.
The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation is fast becoming a requirement for serious investment professionals. Although it requires a successful completion of three levels of grueling exams, it also entails promising careers with lucrative salaries. A student of finance is curious about the average salary of a CFA charterholder. He takes a random sample of 36 recent charterholders and computes a mean salary of $129,000 with a standard deviation of $22,000. Use this sample information to determine the 99% confidence interval for the average salary of a CFA charterholder. (You may find it useful to reference the t table. Round final answers to the nearest whole number.)
In a one-tailed hypothesis test, if the alternative hypothesis states that the population mean is greater than 10 and the sample mean is 12 with a sample size of 25 and a standard deviation of 3, what is the critical value for a significance level of 0.05?
The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation is fast becoming a requirement for serious investment professionals. Although it requires a successful completion of three levels of grueling exams, it also entails promising careers with lucrative salaries. A student of finance is curious about the average salary of a CFA® charterholder. He takes a random sample of 36 recent charterholders and computes a mean salary of $146,000 with a standard deviation of $23,000. Use this sample information to determine the 99% confidence interval for the average salary of a CFA charterholder. Assume that salaries are normally distributed. (You may find it useful to reference the t table. Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places. Round "t" value to 3 decimal places and final answers to the nearest whole number.)
An IT consultancy in Singapore that offers telephony solutions to small businesses claims that its new call handling software will enable clients to increase suc cessful inbound calls by an average of 75 calls per week. For a random sample of 25 small-business users of this software, the average increase in successful inbound calls was 70.2 and the sample standard deviation was 8.4 calls. Test, at the 5% level, the null hypothesis that the population mean increase is at least 75 calls. Assume a normal distribution.
A pipes manufacturer makes pipes with a length that is supposed to be 19 inches. A quality control technician sampled 24 pipes and found that the sample mean length was 19.08 inches and the sample standard deviation was 0.24 inches. The technician claims that the mean pipe length is not 19 inches. What type of hypothesis test should be performed? What is the test statistic? What is the number of degrees of freedom? Does sufficient evidence exist at the α=0.01 significance level to support the technician's claim?
A survey of entry level corporate analysts in New York City asked, approximately how many hours per week do you work? A) If the population standard deviation is known to be 4.7 hours, and a random sample of 35 analysts yielded a mean of 50.5 hours, then construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of hours worked by entry level analysts. B) In the above confidence interval, suppose that we want a margin of error of +/- 1 hour. What sample size would be needed to achieve this? C) As mentioned in class, it is unlikely that the population standard deviation is known. Suppose instead that the sample standard deviation was 4.7 hours. Using the other values from part (a), form a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of hours worked by entry level analysts.
