Hypothesis Testing: When Population Standard Deviation is Known A study found that the average stopping distance...
8. A study found that the mean stopping distance of a school bus traveling 50 miles per hour was 264 feet. A group of automobile engineers decided to conduct a study of its school buses and found that for 20 buses, the mean stopping distance of the buses was 262.3 feet. The standard deviation of the population was 3 feet. Test the claim that the mean stopping distance of the company’s buses is actually less than 264 feet. Use a...
1. When testing gas pumps for accuracy, fuel-quality enforcement specialists test pumps and found that 1346 of them were not pumping accurately (within 3.3 ox when 5 gal is pumped), and 5612 pumps were accurate. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim of an industry representative that less than 20% of the pumps are inaccurate. Use a test for a population proportion. 2. In 1997, a survey of 820 households showed that 144 of them use email. Use...
17 and 18 please. Thank you.
gleater than 700 pounds? DIe 81 31 female giraffes are chosen. The mean height is found to be 15 feet. Assume that the population standard deviation for the height of female giraffes is。 5 feet. Calculate the 85% confidence interval of for population mean height of female giraffes. 16) A sample of 21 male giraffes are chosen. The mean height is found to be 17.5 feet. The standard deviation of the sample is found...
A study found that highway drivers in one state traveled at an average speed of 54.1 miles per hour (MPH). Assume the population standard deviation is 5.4 MPH. Complete parts a through d below. a. What is the probability that a sample of 30 of the drivers will have a sample mean less than 53 MPH? P(x<53)= (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. What is the probability that a sample of 40 of the drivers will have a...
