Large Data Sets from Appendix B. In Exercises 17 and 18, use the data set from Appendix B to test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.

Testing Claims About Variation. In Exercises 5–16, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Assume that a simple random sample is selected from a normally distributed population.
Bank Lines The Jefferson Valley Bank once had a separate customer waiting line at each teller window, but it now has a single waiting line that feeds the teller windows as vacancies occur. The standard deviation of customer waiting times with the old multiple-line configuration was 1.8 min. Listed below is a simple random sample of waiting times (minutes) with the single waiting line. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that with a single waiting line, the waiting times have a standard deviation less than 1.8 min. What improvement occurred when banks changed from multiple waiting lines to a single…

Fast Food Drive-Through Service Times Listed below are drive-through service times (seconds) recorded at McDonald’s during dinner times (from Data Set 25 “Fast Food” in Appendix B). Assuming that dinner service times at Wendy’s have standard deviation σ = 55.93 sec, use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that service times at McDonald’s have the same variation as service times at Wendy’s. Should McDonald’s take any action?

Heights of Supermodels Listed below are the heights (cm) for the simple random sample of female supermodels Lima, Bundchen, Ambrosio, Ebanks, Iman, Rubik, Kurkova, Kerr, Kroes, Swanepoel, Prinsloo, Hosk, Kloss, Robinson, Heatherton, and Refaeli. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that supermodels have heights with a mean that is greater than the mean height of 162 cm for women in the general population. Given that there are only 16 heights represented, can we really conclude that supermodels are taller than the typical woman?arrow_forward
