The prices of two competitive companies (Company I and Company II) need to be studied in order to have a comparative analysis between the two companies. The following prices data have been obtained for these two types of companies from a town market: Company I 15 Company II 17 The sample size The sample mean sample 33.4 32.4 The standard 1.3 1.5 deviation

Two types of flares are tested and their burning times (in minutes) are recorded. Summary statistics are given below.Brand Xn=35x = 19.4 mins = 1.4 min Brand Yn=40x = 15.1 mins = 0.8 min Use a 0.08 significance level to test the claim that the two samples are from populations with the same mean. Use the traditional method or the P Value method of hypothesis testing.
A consumer report company obtained records of the monthly cell phone bills of students at Bush Campus and takes a random sample of 10 cell phone bills of Bush campus residents from provider AG&G and another of 8 cell phones bills from provider CT&T . The summary data is given bellow. We want to compare the mean cost between CT&T and AG&G phones. Are they the same? It is assumed that the populations are normal, and the variances are approximately equal and α = 0.10. Which hypothesis test is appropriate? What kind of alternative should be used? Perform the test and discuss the conclusion. Sample Mean SD Sample Size AG&G $33 7 10 CT&T $40 11 8 Refer to problem 2 above. Does the data suggest that the standard deviation of the AG&G bills is smaller than that for CT&T bills? Carry out a test at significance level α=0.01

If the mean and variance are computed for each sample in an independent-measures two-factor experiment, then which types of sample data will tend to produce large F-ratios for the two-factor ANOVA? a. large differences between sample means and small sample variances b. large differences between sample means and large sample variances c. small differences between sample means and small sample variances d. small differences between sample means and large sample variances
A carpet manufacturer is studying the differences between two of its major outlet stores. The company is interested in the time it takes for customers to receive carpeting that has been ordered from the plant. Data concerning a sample of delivery times for the most popular type of carpet are summarized as follows: Acme Store Betty’s Store x̄ 43.7 days 34.3 days s 3.1 days 2.4 days n 31 orders 41 orders Assuming equal variances, determine at the 5% level of significance, if there is enough evidence from the sample data to conclude that Acmes’ store must wait on average significantly longer for the carpet to be delivered than Betty’s store? Then calculate and interpret a (1-α)% CI for µA - µB. Does the interval estimate for µAcme - µBetty’s support the decision? Explain. Recall that we only use the p-value decision rule for 2 sample t-tests.
A milk processing company test implemented a plant-wide energy conservation program with a goal of reducing the mean daily consumption rate of at least 1,000 kWh from its normal operating plants. The conservation program was implemented in Plant B. The following data was collected on weekdays where consumption level is at its peak. Were the conservation efforts effective in achieving its goal? Compare the results with Plant A’s data where the program is not implemented using � = 0.05. Assume that the population variances are not equal.Plant A (kWh) Plant B (kWh)3,952.80 4,036.003,276.00 4,036.003,636.00 4,036.003,636.00 3,264.003,636.00 864.003,636.00 1,368.004,068.00 2,196.004,068.00 4,392.004,362.00 5,220.004,362.00 3,600.004,362.00 3,960.004,362.00 4,428.003,882.00 756.003,808.80 612.003,808.80 684.00

An experiment was conducted to compare alcohol content of a cleaning product on two differentproduction lines. Production was monitored five times a day. The data are shown in Table 3.Assume both populations are normally distributed. It is suspected that production line 1 is notproducing as consistently as production line 2 in terms of the alcohol content. Test this claim atsignificance level 0.05 by assuming that the two population variances were equal. production line 1 0.48 0.39 0.42 0.52 0.40 production line 2 0.38 0.37 0.39 0.41 0.38
