You receive a brochure from a large university. The brochure indicates that the mean class size for full-time faculty is fewer than 33 students. You want to test this claim. You randomly select 18 classes taught by full-time faculty and determine the class size of each The results are shown in the table below. At a=0.01, can you support the university's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below Assume the population is normally distributed 32 34 28 260 33 36...
A credit card company claims that the mean credit card debt for individuals is greater than $5,200. You want to test this claim. You find that a random sample of 38 cardholders has a mean credit card balance of $5,490 and a standard deviation of $675. At a = 0.01, can you support the claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) below. Assume the population is normally distributed. (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify Ho and Ha Which of the...

A random sample of 86 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 272. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 270. Assume that the population standard deviation is 34. At a=0.14, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify H, and...
Conduct a formal hypothesis test of the claim that the mean longevity is less than 57 days. Test at significance α=0.05. Your written summary of this test must include the following: Your null and alternate hypotheses in the proper format. The type of distribution you used to construct the interval (t or normal). The P-value and its logical relationship to α (≤ or >). Your decision regarding the null hypothesis: reject or fail to reject. A statement regarding the sufficiency/insufficiency...
Test the claim about the population mean, , at the given level of significance using the given sample statistics. Claim: u = 30; a = 0.09; 6 = 3.02. Sample statistics: x = 28.8, n=62 Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Ho: u = 30 Hu> 30 0 C. Ho: < 30 Hau= 30 E. Ho: u = 30 H: #30 OB. Ho:u#30 Ha: u = 30 OD. Ho: > 30 Ha: H...
The P-value for a hypothesis test is shown. Use the P-value to decide whether to reject He when the level of significance is (a) a = 0.01, (b) a = 0.05, and (C) a = 0.10. P = 0.0695 (a) Do you reject or fail to reject He at the 0.01 level of significance? O A. Fail to reject H, because the P-value, 0.0695, is greater than a = 0.01. O B. Fail to reject H, because the P-value, 0.0695,...
Determine the appropriate critical value(s) for each of the following tests concerning the population mean: a. Ha:p> 11, n = 14, o = 11.2, a = 0.005 b. Ha: u # 23, n = 26, s = 32.78, a = 0.01 C. HA: u 34, n = 37, o = 32.782 a = 0.20 d. Ha: < 47; data: 11.4, 15.2, 43.8, 22.4, 18.5; a = 0.05 e. HA:x>18, n=27, o = 12.6 a. Determine the appropriate critical value(s) for...
