A researcher wants to know if that the mean width of a sepal of a setosa iris is less than 3.5 cm. She chooses a random sample of 50 setosa irises and finds that the mean sepal width for the sample is 3.42 cm with a standard deviation of 0.379 cm. Conduct a hypothesis to address the researcher’s question.

Samantha is studying different species of irises. During her fieldwork, she recorded the length of the sepal in millimeters of two different species, I. setosa and I. virginica. She wants to know if the two species differ in sepal length or not. Using the software tool you prefer, perform a two-sample t-test for the difference between means to decide whether the two species of irises have different sepal lengths. You may find this list of software manuals helpful in computing...

A researcher wants to investigate the effects of environmental factors on IQ scores. For an initial study, she takes a sample of 400 people who grew up as the only child. She finds that 49.5% of them have an IQ score over 100. It is known that 50% of the general population has an IQ score exceeding 100. a. Find the mean of p, where p is the proportion of people with IQ scores over 100 in a random sample...

The mayor wants to know whether mean one-bedroom apartment rents in the town really are lower now than last year’s $375 per month average. A random sample of 50 of the town’s 450 one-bedroom apartments is taken. Let alpha = 0.01. The sample mean is $368 and the sample standard deviation is $20. The p-value for the hypothesis test is closest to Group of answer choices .0168 .0067 .0084 .1111

Sylvia, a manager of a pizzeria wants to optimize the average delivery time of orders from the current 35 minutes. To do this, Sylvia overhauls the delivery ordering system and rejigs the delivery routes. After all the changes are implemented, she takes a random sample of 30 delivery orders and yields an average delivery time of 32 minutes. The population standard deviation is known to be 6 minutes. Were these changes successful in reducing the average delivery time of pizza?...

Annie is a researcher who wants to find a confidence interval estimate of the mean time it takes to complete an order over the phone at a call center for a large retail company. She has selected a random sample of 18 orders and recorded the time to complete the order. The sample mean time was 4.27 minutes and the sample standard deviation was 0.78 minutes. Assuming the conditions needed for inference are met,which of the following is the appropriate...

A researcher wants to know if students at UCLA have a similar GPA average as all college students world-wide. The world wide average is 2.8 with a standard deviation of 0.44. The researcher randomly gets the GPA of 100 UCLA students and determines the sample mean to be 2.7 with a standard deviation of 0.38. What is the best statistical test to use to determine if the GPA of UCLA students is similar to the world wide average? A. One...

Walzon recently made changes to its inventory management and delivery systems. Walzon wants to know whether these changes have reduced mean delivery time (number of hours from placing an order to receiving the item). Walzon wants to test the null hypothesis that mean delivery time is at least 37 hours against the alternative hypothesis that mean delivery time is less than 37 hours. Assume that delivery times are approximately normally distributed, with a known standard deviation of 8 hours. A...
