You have obtained your dream job working to restore the ecological health of the Everglades. Your boss believes that temperatures are becoming greater than 30oC. (This temperature increase has negative impacts on the ecosystem of the area.) He assigns you to test his claim that this is occurring. Previous studies have found that there is a population standard deviation of 1.7oC. You take temperature readings on 61 different days and find a mean temperature of 30.377oC. Test your boss’s claim at the .05 significance level. Be sure to show your hypothesis and the claim. What do you conclude about the null hypothesis? What do you conclude about the claim?

When you apply for credit your FICO score is used to determine your credit worthiness and the interest rate you will be charged. Previous studies have shown that the FICO scores had a standard deviation of 7. A new firm has contacted your agency claiming that using their methods your clients can raise their FICO scores to above a 700 within 3 months. Your boss does a trial with the company. You don't believe the company and a take a...
A new thermostat has been engineered for the frozen food cases in large supermarkets. Both the old and new thermostats hold temperatures at an average of 25°F. However, it is hoped that the new thermostat might be more dependable in the sense that it will hold temperatures closer to 25°F. One frozen food case was equipped with the new thermostat, and a random sample of 26 temperature readings gave a sample variance of 5.2. Another similar frozen food case was...

On your first day on the job, your boss asks you to conduct a hypothesis test about the mean dwell time of a new type of UAV. Before you arrived, an experiment was conducted on ? = 5 UAVs (all of the new type) resulting in a sample mean dwell time of ?1 = 10.4 h????. The goal is to conclusively demonstrate, if possible, that the data supports the manufacturer’s claim that the mean dwell time is greater than 10...
Sometimes when you are sick, your forehead feels really warm. You might have fever. How can you find out whether you do? By taking your temperature, of course. But what temperature should the thermometer show if your're healthy? Is this temperature the same for everyone? Several years ago, researchers conducted a study to determine whether the "accepted" value for normal body temperature, 98.6°F, is accurate. They used an oral thermometer to measure the temperatures of a random sample of healthy...
Please solve the following problem and show all work. Thank you! You are a field engineer working for Far North Arctic Insulates Inc. Your company has come up with a new insulation material to be used under road beds to keep the permafrost from warming during the summer months. Since this material is quite costly, you want to be able to use the least amount of material (i.e. smallest thickness possible). You have collected the following temperature data in degrees-Fahrenheit)...

Scenario You are currently working at NCLEX Memorial Hospital in the Infectious Diseases Unit. Over the past few days, you have noticed an increase in patients admitted with a particular infectious disease. You believe that the ages of these patients play a critical role in the method used to treat the patients. You decide to speak to your manager, and together you work to use statistical analysis to look more closely at the ages of these patients. You do some...

Case Study 1: Should a Computer Grade Your Essays? Would you like your college essays graded by a computer? Well, you just might find that happening in your next course. In April 2013, EdX, a Harvard/MIT joint venture to develop massively open online courses (MOOCs), launched an essay-scoring program. Using arti ficial intelligence technology, essays and short answers are immediately scored and feedback tendered, allowing students to revise, resubmit, and improve their grade as many times as necessary. The non-profit...
