Assume a media agency reports that it takes television streaming service subscribers in the United States an average of 6.24 days to watch the entire first season of a television series, with a standard deviation of 3.80 days. Suppose Elizabeth, an analyst for an online television and movie streaming service company, wants to determine if her company's customers exhibit similar viewing rates for their series offerings.
She formulated the null hypothesis ?0:?=6.24 daysH0:μ=6.24 days and the alternative ?1:?≠6.24 daysH1:μ≠6.24 days, where ?μ is the mean number of days that it takes for customers to watch the first season of a series. She conducted a one-sample ?-z-test based on data collected from a simple random sample of 850 customers who watched the first season of a television series from the company database of over 20,000 customers that qualified. She assumed that that the population standard deviation is ?=3.80 days.σ=3.80 days.
She compiled the summary statistics shown in the table.

Compute the ?-valueP-value for Elizabeth's hypothesis test directly using a normalcdf function on a TI calculator or software. You may find some software manuals helpful. Provide your answer with precision to four decimal places. Avoid rounding until the final step.
P-value =?
Select the accurate statement regarding Elizabeth's test decision if she tests at a significance level of ?=0.05α=0.05.
a.Elizabeth should fail to reject the null hypothesis because the ?-valueP-value is less than the value, ?=0.05α=0.05.
b.Elizabeth should reject the null hypothesis because the ?-valueP-value is less than the value, ?=0.05α=0.05.
c.Elizabeth should reject the null hypothesis because the ?-valueP-value is greater than the value, ?=0.05α=0.05.
d.Elizabeth should fail to reject the null hypothesis because the ?-valueP-value is greater than the value, ?2=0.025α2=0.025.
e.Elizabeth should fail to reject the null hypothesis because the ?-valueP-value is greater than the value, ?=0.05α=0.05.
The statistical software output for this problem is:
From above output:
P - value = 0.3186
Conclusion: Elizabeth should fail to reject the null hypothesis because the ?-valueP-value is greater than the value, ?=0.05
Option E is correct.

A commercial bakery's ovens are designed to bake cakes at a temperature of 350.0 °F. The ovens are calibrated so that their temperatures should be normally distributed with a mean of 350.0 °F and a standard deviation of 4.4 °F. During a recent inspection, the bakery's quality control supervisor selected a random sample of 12 ovens and recorded their temperatures. She recorded her summary statistics in the following table. test of ?=350.0 vs ?≠350.0the assumed standard deviation=4.4significance level of ?=0.05test...
The P-value for a hypothesis test is shown. Use the P-value to decide whether to reject H when the level of significance is (a) a= 0.01, (b) a 0.05, and (c) a0.10. P 0.0749 (a) Do you reject or fail to reject Ho at the 0.01 level of significance? O A. Reject H because the P-value, 0.0749, is greater than a=0.01 O B. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value, 0.0749, is less than a = 0.01 O C. Reject...
A marketing agency selected a random sample of television viewers to test the claim that the proportion of viewers who watch a particular show is less than 0.20 at a level of significance of 0.05. The test yielded a p-value of 0.47. Assuming all conditions for inference were met, which of the following is the correct conclusion? a) At the level of significance of 0.05, the null hypothesis is not rejected. There is not convincing evidence to suggest the true...
The average annual miles driven per vehicle in the United States is 11.1 thousand miles, with σ ≈ 600 miles. Suppose that a random sample of 41 vehicles owned by residents of Chicago showed that the average mileage driven last year was 10.9 thousand miles. Does this indicate that the average miles driven per vehicle in Chicago is different from (higher or lower than) the national average? Use a 0.05 level of significance. What are we testing in this problem?...
