A new laboratory technician read a report that the average number of students using the computer laboratory per hour was 16. To test this hypothesis, he selected a day at random and kept track of the number of students who used the lab over an eight-hour period. The results were 20, 24, 18, 16, 16, 19, 21, 23 At α = 0.05, to test the claim that the average is actually 16.
a. What is the point estimate of μ?
b. calculate the test statistic
c. find the critical value(s)
Hi Dear,
I have given my 100% to solve your problem.
So, please help me out by just thumbs up.
Thank you, so much

According to a magazine, people read an average of more than three books in a month. A survey of 30 random individuals found that the mean number of books they read was 3.2 with a standard deviation of 1.26. a.

Randomly selected students in a statistics class were asked to report the number of hours they slept on weeknights and on weekends. At α = 0.05, the experimenter wants to know if there is sufficient evidence that there is a difference in the mean number of hours slept. Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Hours Sun-Thurs 8 5.5 7.5 8 7 6 6 8 Hours Fri-Sat 4 7 10.5 12 11 9 6 9 a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim. b. A student calculates the test statistic using this formula: Is this the correct formula to use for this situation? (Hint:...
2. The average number of cups of coffee drunk each day by a randomly selected sample of 25 students was 4.4. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.5 cups of coffee. Does the sample provide enough statistical evidence to support a claim that students drink 4 cups of coffee per day on average? Test the hypothesis at a 1% level of significance. Perform a 1-sample Z-test of mean to assess the sample evidence. A. State the null and alternative hypotheses...
A professor would like to test the hypothesis that the average number of minutes that a student needs to complete a statistics exam has a standard deviation that is less than 5.0 minutes. A random sample of 15 students was selected and the sample standard deviation for the time needed to complete the exam was found to be 4.0 minutes. Using α = 0.05, the critical value for this hypothesis test would be ________. a. 6.571 b. 7.261 c. 23.685...
A health researcher read that a 100-kg male can burn an average of 572 calories per hour playing table tennis. Thirty-six males were randomly selected and tested. The mean of the number of calories burned per hour was 557. Assume that the standard deviation for 100-kg males in the population is 45 calories per hour. (i) Test the claim that the average number of calories burned per hour is actually less than 572. Use α = 0.01. (ii) Calculate the...
A report states that the mean yearly salary offer for students graduating with a degree in accounting is $48,743. Suppose that a random sample of 50 accounting graduates at a large university who received job offers resulted in a mean offer of $49,870 and a standard deviation of $3800. Do the sample data provide strong support for the claim that the mean salary offer for accounting graduates of this university is higher than the national average of $48,743? Test the...
Can anyone explain where the 252 came from for the hypotheses? Example 5: Another made up report ("Stat 1x1 Student Ages") claimed that, "The age of University of Alberta Stat 1x1 students depends on gender." To explore this claim, a poll was conducted by a particular statistics instructor. The results found the following Summary statistics for age (in months): Variance 243.5 2620.582 240.5 1729.273 Mean Std. Dev. gen Female Male 74 51.192 52 41.585 Assuming the individuals were randomly selected...
Suppose a university advertises that its average class size is 35 or less. A student organization is concerned that budget cuts have led to increased class sizes and would like to test this claim. A random sample of 43 classes was selected, and the average class size was found to be 36.1 students. Assume that the standard deviation for class size at the college is 7 students. Using α=0.10, complete parts a - e below. a) Determine the null and...
