A researcher thinks that smoking age has significantly changed since the invention of ENDS-electronic nicotine delivery systems. A survey of smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean age has changed. The sample of 31 smokers found that their mean starting age was 12.3 years old. Do the data support the claim at the 5% significance level? What are the correct hypotheses? Ho: Select an answer v ? v years H1: Select an answer v years Based on the hypotheses, find the following: Test Statistic z = (Round to 4 decimal places.) Critical Values = + (Round to 2 decimal places.) Based on the above we choose to Select an answer The correct summary would be: Select an answer that the mean age smokers first start is different than 13.arrow_forward
- A famous welfare association in Karachi claims that it takes 9 minutes on average to reach its destination in emergency situations. To test this claim, the agency which licences ambulance services had them timed on 50 emergency calls, getting a mean of 10.4 minutes with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. At the 5% significance level test the claim that the average time the ambulance takes to reach its destination is 9 minutes.arrow_forwardThe heights of women are normally distributed with a mean of 63.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches.

Scores range from 330 to 850, with a score of 720 or more indicating that a person is a very good credit risk. An economist wants to determine whether the mean FICO score is lower than the cutoff of 720. She finds that a random sample of 60 people had a mean FICO score of 685 with a standard deviation of 80. Can the economist conclude that the mean FICO score is less than 720? Use the a=0.10 level of significance and the P-value methodarrow_forward
- According to researchers, the mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle-theft offenders in a nation is 16.5 months. One hundred randomly selected motor-vehicle-theft offenders in a city in the nation had a mean length of imprisonment of 17.6 months. At the 10% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle-theft offenders in the city differs from the national mean? Assume that the population standard deviation of the lengths of imprisonment for motor-vehicle-theft offenders in the city is 6.0 months.
