A systems analyst tests a new algorithm designed to work faster than the currently-used algorithm. Each algorithm is applied to a group of 48 sample problems. The new algorithm completes the sample problems with a mean time of 19.90 hours. The current algorithm completes the sample problems with a mean time of 21.33 hours. The standard deviation is found to be 4.320 hours for the new algorithm, and 5.402 hours for the current algorithm. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.01 level of significance of the claim that the new algorithm has a lower mean completion time than the current algorithm. Let μ1 be the true mean completion time for the new algorithm and μ2 be the true mean completion time for the current algorithm.
Step 1 of 4:
State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

Assume the population standard deviation for the new algorithm is 5.572 hours, while the current algorithm has a population standard deviation of 4.365 hours. Conduct...
Using traditional methods it takes 11.3 hours to receive a basic flying license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique on 20 students and observed that they had a mean of 11.6 hours with a standard deviation of 1.1. Is there evidence at the 0.05 level that the technique performs differently than the traditional method? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 1 of 5: State the null...
In order for a new drug to be sold on the market, the variance of the active ingredient in each dose should be 0.02mg. A random sample of 25 tablets with a dosage strength of 48.42mg is taken. The variance of the active ingredient from this sample is found to be 0.0048. Does the data suggests at α=0.01 that the variance of the drug in the tablets is less than the desired amount? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step...
A courier service advertises that its average delivery time is less than 3 hours for deliveries in the Vancouver area. The distribution of delivery times is known to be normal, with standard deviation 0.9 hours. A random sample of 15 deliveries yielded a sample mean delivery time of 3.2 hours. Consider a test of the null hypothesis that the population mean is 3 against the one-sided alternative that the population mean delivery time is greater than 3. (a) What is...
The director of research and development is testing a new medicine. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.01 level that the medicine relieves pain in more than 331 seconds. For a sample of 14 patients, the mean time in which the medicine relieved pain was 333 seconds with a standard deviation of 22 . Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Step 2 of 5: Find...
The director of research and development is testing a new drug. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.025 level that the drug stays in the system for less than 393 minutes. For a sample of 17 patients, the mean time the drug stayed in the system was 387 minutes with a variance of 625. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Step 2 of 5: Find...
Using traditional methods it takes 106 hours to receive an advanced flying license. A new training technique using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique on 40 students and observed that they had a mean of 105 hours. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 4. Is there evidence at the 0.02 level that the technique reduces the training time? Step 1 of 6: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Step 2 of...
