An agency that hires out clerical workers claims its workers can type, on average, at least 60 words per minute (wpmwpm). To test the claim, a random sample of 50 workers from the agency were given a typing test, and the average typing speed was 58.8 wpmwpm. A one-sample tt-test was conducted to investigate whether there is evidence that the mean typing speed of workers from the agency is less than 60 wpmwpm. The resulting pp-value was 0.267. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the pp-value? The probability is 0.267 that the mean typing speed is 60 wpmwpm or more for workers from the agency. A The probability is 0.267 that the mean typing speed is 60 wpmwpm or less for workers from the agency. B The probability is 0.267 that the mean typing speed is 58.8 wpmwpm or less for workers from the agency. C If the mean typing speed of workers from the agency is 60 wpmwpm, the probability of selecting a sample of 50 workers with mean 58.8…
A light-bulb manufacturer advertises that the average life for its light bulbs is 900 hours. A random sample of 15 of its light bulbs resulted in the following lives in hours. 995 590 510 539 739 917 571 555 916 728 664 693 708 887 849 At the 10% significance level, test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean life of 900 hours. Use the P-value method of testing hypotheses. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, critical value(s) or P-value (or range of P-values) as appropriate, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
The production manager at Oliver Steel, a manufacturer of wheelchairs, wants to compare the number of defective wheelchairs produced on the day shift with the number on the night shift. A sample of the production from six day shifts and eight night shifts revealed the following number of defects. Day 5 8 7 6 9 7 Night 8 10 7 11 9 12 14 9 At the 0.5% significance level, the production manager wants to know whether the day shift is less than the night shift in the mean number of defects. a) State the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis. b) What is the decision rule? c) What is the value of the test statistic? d) What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis? e) Interpret the result. f) What assumptions are necessary for this test
A scientist selected a random sample of seven varieties of peach ice cream to investigate the relationship between the density, in pounds per cubic inch, of the varieties of ice cream and the percent concentration of peaches in the ice cream. Assuming all conditions for inference are met, which of the following significance tests should be used to investigate whether there is convincing evidence at the 0.05 level of significance that a greater percent of peaches in the ice cream is associated with an increase in the density of the ice cream? A. A two-sample t-test for a difference between means B. A chi-square test of independence C. A linear regression t-test for slope D. A two-sample z-test for a difference between proportions E. A matched pairs t-test for a mean difference
A store that sells LPG claims that the mean weight of their tanks are exactly 11-kgs as prescribed. Using a random sample of 15 LPG tanks, a regular customer tests the theory that the average weight of the store's tanks are somehow lower than the prescribed weight. Use a significance level of α=0.10
