A company has two offices with 50 employees in each. The employees in each office report on their daily commute time. The results are shown in the table.
| Mean Commute | Standard Deviation | |
|---|---|---|
| Office A | 25 minutes | 3.1 minutes |
| Office B | 23 minutes | 3.2 minutes |
Is there is a significant difference between the commute times for the two populations? Use a 0.05 significance level.
(1 point)
- The p-value is 0.0015. Reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the commute times.
- The p-value is 0.0515. Reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the commute times.
- The p-value is 0.0015. Fail to reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the commute times.
- The p-value is 0.0515. Fail to reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the commute times.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management reports that 51% of
federal civilian employees have a bachelor's degree or higher
(OPM.gov). A random sample of 106 employees in the private
sector showed that 44 have a bachelor's degree or higher. Does this
indicate that the percentage of employees holding bachelor's
degrees or higher in the private sector is less than in the federal
civilian sector? Use α = 0.05.

A comparison is made between two bus lines to determine if
arrival times of their regular buses from Denver to Durango are off
schedule by the same amount of time. For 51 randomly selected runs,
bus line A was observed to be off schedule an average time of 53
minutes, with standard deviation 19minutes. For 61 randomly
selected runs, bus line B was observed to be off schedule an
average of 62 minutes, with standard deviation 15 minutes. Do the...

An economist wonders if corporate productivity in some countries is more volatile than in other countries. One measure of a company's productivity is annual percentage yield based on total company assets. A random sample of leading companies in France gave the following percentage yields based on assets. 4.2 5.5 3.6 3.9 2.7 3.5 2.8 4.4 5.7 3.4 4.1 6.8 2.9 3.2 7.2 6.5 5.0 3.3 2.8 2.5 4.5 Use a calculator to verify that the sample variance is s2 ≈...

A new fuel injection system has been engineered for pickup trucks. The new system and the old system both produce about the same average miles per gallon. However, engineers question which system (old or new) will give better consistency in fuel consumption (miles per gallon) under a variety of driving conditions. A random sample of 31 trucks were fitted with the new fuel injection system and driven under different conditions. For these trucks, the sample variance of gasoline consumption was...
