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 α= 0.05. Assume that the population variances are not equal.

- The average travel time going from Bulacan to Laguna is at most 3.5 hours. A bus company conducts a study consisting of 55 trials to verify this.

LDOTD engineers claim that the variance of stopping distances of automobiles on wet roads in Louisiana is really smaller than the variance of stopping distances of automobiles on dry roads because of the materials used to build the roads. To test the claim for allocation of highway funds, Federal Department of Transportation tested 16 automobiles traveling at the same speed for stopping distances on wet roads and then on the dry roads in Louisiana. On the wet roads the standard deviation of the stopping distances was 32 feet while on dry roads it was 16 feet. Test the claim at 5% level of significance.arrow_forward
- "A large candy manufacturer produces, packages and sells packs of candy targeted to weigh 52 grams. A quality control manager working for the company was concerned that the variation in the actual weights of the targeted 52-gram packs was larger than acceptable. That is, he was concerned that some packs weighed significantly less than 52-grams and some weighed significantly more than 52 grams. In an attempt to estimate the variance of the weights of all of the 52-gram packs the manufacturer makes, he took a random sample of n = 20 packs off of the factory line. The random sample yielded a sample variance of 3.5 grams. Use 90% confidence level.
