Sheer industries is considering a new computer-assisted program to train maintenance employees to do machine repairs. In order to fully evaluate the program, the director of manufacturing requested an estimate of the population mean time required for maintenance employees to complete the computer assisted training. Use 7.94 days as a planning value for the population standard deviation. (Round your answers up to the nearest whole number.) (a) Assuming 95% confidence, what sample size would be required to obtain a margin of error of 0.5 days? x (b) If the precision statement was made with 90% confidence, what sample size would be required to obtain 43 margin of error of 2 days?

A regional airline serving Las Vegas has a base airfare rate of $99. In addition, various fees are charged: for checked baggage, refreshments/drinks in-flight, and for making a reservation on its website. These additional charges average $70 per passenger. Suppose a random sample of 59 passengers is taken to determine the total cost of their flight. The population standard deviation of total flight cost is known to be $40. (a) What is the population mean cost per flight in dollars? $ (b) What is the probability the sample mean will be within $10 of the population mean cost per flight? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) What is the probability the sample mean will be within $5 of the population mean cost per flight? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A metropolitan transportation authority has set a bus mechanical reliability goal of 3,800 bus miles. Bus mechanical reliability is measured specifically as the number of bus miles between mechanical road calls. Suppose a sample of 100 buses resulted in a sample mean of 3,875 bus miles and a sample standard deviation of 275 bus miles. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. Question content area bottom Part 1 a. Is there evidence that the population mean bus miles is more than 3,800 bus miles? (Use a 0.05 level of significance.) State the null and alternative hypotheses. The critical value(s) for the test statistic is(are) (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

You are trying to determine that average height of females living in New Jersey. To estimate this population mean, you collect a sample of 100 women and the average height of the women sampled was 54.5 inches. Assume the standard deviation of the population is 3 inches. Using a 95% confidence level, determine the following: a. Based on the poll, what is the point estimate of the mean height of female NJ residents? b. Find the margin of error for this sample. c. Construct a confidence interval to estimate the mean height of female NJ residents using a 95% confidence level. d. What sample size would be required to achieve a margin of error of less than 1 inch ?
Based on information from the Statistical Forum, the population mean daily cost of operating a car is $ 18. A random sample of 26 students who own cars found a sample mean operating cost per day of $17.30. The population standard deviation is known and its value is $3.2. Test the alternative hypothesis that the population mean daily cost of operating a car for all students is lower than the national population average of $18. Use the 1% level of significance. 1) Specify the null and the alternative hypotheses. 2) Compute the Sample Test Statistic for this hypothesis test. 3) Find the p-value for this hypothesis test. 4) What is the decision for this hypothesis test.
