One-way Airfares. The average one-way airfare from Pittsburg to washington, D.C., is $236. A random sample of 20 one-way fares during a particular month had a mean of $210 with a standard deviation of $43. At α = 0.02, is there sufficient evidence to conclude a difference from the stated mean? Use the sample statistics to construct a 98% confidence interval for the true mean one-way airfare from Pittsburg to Washington D.C, and compare your interval to the results of...
Let x represent the average annual salary of college and university professors (in thousands of dollars) in the United States. For all colleges and universities in the United States, the population variance of x is approximately σ2 = 47.1. However, a random sample of 20 colleges and universities in Kansas showed that x has a sample variance s2 = 86.8. Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the variance for colleges and universities in Kansas is...

A simple random sample of 53 adults is obtained from a normally distributed population, and each person's red blood cell count (in cells per microliter) is measured. The sample mean is 5.28 and the sample standard deviation is 0.55. Use a 0.05 significance level and the given calculator display to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 5.4 which is a value often used for the upper limit of the range of...
According to an article, the average non-mortgage debt of Americans is $23800. A simple random sample of 60 Americans was selected, and their average non mortgage debt was found to be $22500. Assume the population standard deviation of non-mortgage debt is $4600. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the average non-mortgage debt of Americans has decreased? Use α = 0.05. a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in the context of the question. b) Calculate the value of the...
1. According to research, the average non-mortgage debt of Canadians is $23800. A simple random sample of 60 Canadians was selected, and their average nonmortgage debt was found to be $22500. Assume the population standard deviation of non-mortgage debt is $4600. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the average non-mortgage debt of Canadians has decreased? Use α = 0.05. a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in the context of the question. b) Calculate the value of the test...
A simple random sample of 60 adults is obtained from a normally distributed population, and each person's red blood cell count (in cells permicroliter) is measured. The sample mean is 5.27 and the sample standard deviation is 0.53. Use a 0.01 significance level and the given calculator display to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 5.4, which is a value often used for the upper limit of the range of normal...
A simple random sample of 42 adults is obtained from a normally distributed population, and each person's red blood cell count (in cells per microliter) is measured. The sample mean is 5.25 and the sample standard deviation is 0 52 Use a 0.01 significance level and the given calculator display to test the claim that the sample is om a population with a mean less than 54, which s a value often used or the upper limit of the range...
