USA Today reported that the population mean life span of people who live in Hawaii is 77 years. A random sample of 20 obituary notices gave a sample mean life span of ?̅= 71.4 years and a sample standard deviation s = 20.65 years. Assuming that the life span of people in Hawaii is normally distributed, does this indicate that the population mean life span is less than 77 years? Use a 5% level of significance. a.) What is α?...

The following table shows the winning times in minutes) for men and women in the New York City Marathon between 1984 and 2014. Assuming that performances in the Big Apple resemble performances elsewhere, we can think of these data as a sample of performance in marathon competitions. Create a 90% confidence interval for the mean difference in winning times for male and female marathon competitors. The 90% confidence interval for the mean difference in winning times (Women - Men) is...

The mean life of a battery used in a digital clock is 305 days. The lives of the batteries follow a normal distribution. The battery was recently modified to last longer. A sample of 20 of the modified batteries had a mean life of 308 days with a standard deviation of 12 days. A hypothesis test is undertaken to determine whether the modification increased the battery life. What is the value of the test statistic for the hypothesis test? In...

1. The mean arrival rate of flights at O’Hara International Airport in marginal weather is 195 flights per hour with a population standard deviation of 13 flights per hour. To increase arrivals, a new air traffic control procedure is implemented. In the next 30 days of marginal weather, the mean number of arrivals increased to 200. Given this information, please answer the following questions: A. Compute the standard error of the sampling distribution of mean arrival rates? B. What assumption...

The mean age of De Anza College students in a previous term was 26.6 years old. An instructor thinks the mean age for online students is older than 26.6. She randomly surveys 56 online students and finds that the sample mean the 5% level s 29.8 with a standard deviation of 2.1. Conduct a hypothesis test Note: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you...
