We know that the average age of all automotive factory workers is 43 years with a standard deviation of 14.4 years. An automotive factory started an employee ownership program 10 years ago that gave employees 5,000.00 dollars in company stock every year if they passed a healthy and fit test every 6 months. You are asked to determine if the average age of automotive factory workers is still the same as the population. So you collect a random sample of 50 automotive factory workers and find that the average age for the sample is 47. Using an alpha of .05 and a nondirectional hypothesis, conduct a one-sample z-test and determine whether the sample is significantly different from the population. For your calculations, round to the 3rd decimal place, and note that some of the numerical information is not needed.
z = 1.217, and you determine that the sample IS significantly different from the population. |
||
z = 1.217, and you determine that the sample IS NOT significantly different from the population. |
||
z = 1.965, and you determine that the sample IS significantly different from the population. |
||
z = 1.965, and you determine that the sample IS NOT significantly different from the population. |
||
z = 2.638, and you determine that the sample IS significantly different from the population. |
||
z = 2.638, and you determine that the sample IS NOT significantly different from the population. |
we can concclude that the sample is different from the population.

A sample of n = 16 individuals is selected from a population with µ = 40 and σ = 12, and a treatment is administered to the sample. After treatment, the sample mean is M = 42. You are asked to determine if the sample is still the same as the population. Using an alpha of .05 and a directional (one-tailed) hypothesis because you expect an increase in your sample mean due to the treatment, conduct a one-sample z-test and...
A random sample of 16 employees at a large company had an average age of 25 years and a standard deviation of 2 years. You have been asked to determine if the average age at the company is significantly different than 24. The test statistic is
The data to the right show the average retirement ages for a random sample of workers in Country A and a random sample of workers in Country B. Complete parts a and b Country A 65.2 years 30 Country B 66.8 years 30 Sample mean Sample size Population standard deviation 4.5 years 5.1 years a. Perform a hypothesis test using α= 0.05 to determine if the average retirement age in Country B is higher than it is in Country A....
Sony would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a PlayStation user is different from the average age of an Xbox user. A random sample of 36 PlayStation users had an average age of 34.2 years while a random sample of 30 Xbox users had an average age of 32.7 years. Assume that the population standard deviation for the age of PlayStation and Xbox users is 3.9 and 4.0 years, respectively. Sony would like to set α...

At a local university, a sample of 49 evening students was selected in order to determine whether the average age of the evening students is significantly different from 21. The average age of the students in the sample was 23.25 years. The population standard deviation is known to be 7 years. Determine whether or not the average age of the evening students is significantly different from 21. Use a .1 level of significance. Calculate the critical value. I know the...

We know that, in the population, the average memory span (number of items a person can recall) is 7, with a standard deviation of 2. We want to know if the herb gingko biloba can really enhance a person’s memory. We get a sample of 25 students and have them take the herb for one month and then test their memory span. What null hypothesis would we test? What is the alternative hypothesis? We know that, in the population, the...
