1. A police officer is concerned about speeds on a certain
section of Interstate 95. The data accompanying this exercise show
the speeds of 40 cars on a Saturday afternoon.
a. The speed limit on this portion of Interstate 95 is 66 mph. Specify the competing hypotheses in order to determine if the average speed is greater than the speed limit.
H0: μ = 66; HA: μ ≠ 66
H0: μ ≥ 66; HA: μ < 66
H0: μ ≤ 66; HA: μ > 66
b-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 3 decimal places.)
b-2. Find the p-value.
p-value < 0.01
c. At α = 0.05, are the officer’s concerns warranted?
2. Consider the following hypotheses:
H0: μ = 8,900
HA: μ ≠ 8,900
The population is normally distributed with a population standard
deviation of 800. Compute the value of the test statistic and the
resulting p-value for each of the following sample
results. For each sample, determine if you can "reject/do not
reject" the null hypothesis at the 10% significance level.
(Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round
intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places. Round "test
statistic" values to 2 decimal places and "p-value" to 4
decimal places.)
Test statistic | p-value | |||
a. | x−x− = 8,940; n = 110 | |||
b. | x−x− = 8,940; n = 260 | |||
c. | x−x− = 8,680; n = 38 | |||
d. | x−x− = 8,710; n = 38 |
2) answer)
Z(test statistics) = (obtained mean - claimed mean)/(standard deviation/√n)
A)
Obtained mean = 8940
And claimed = 8900
Standard deviation = 800
And n = 110
Substituting these values we get
Z = (8940-8900)/(800/√110)
Z = 0.52
And from z table, 0.52 corresponds to 0.6985
So p-value = 2*(1-0.6985)
As this is two tailed test because there is no particular direction so we need to find the area of greater than 0.52 then this will be the area of one tail
So we will multiply it with 2 to get the p-value for two tails
Test statistics = 0.52
P-value = 0.6030
As the p-value is greater than 0.1(10% significance level)
We fail to reject the null hypothesis
B)
Here every thing is same just n is =260
Z =(8940-8900)/(800/√260)
Test statistic = 0.81
From z table, 0.81, corresponds to 0.7910
Therefore, p-value is = 2*(1-7910) = 0.4180
Here also p-value is greater than 0.1, we fail to reject null hypothesis.
C)
Obtained = 8680
Claimed = 8900
N=38
Z =(8680-8900)/(800/√38)
Z = −1.6952138508
Test statistics = -1.70
From z table, -1.7 corresponds to 0.0446
Now here as we know z table shows the value less than certain value
So here we are already given with one tail (less than -1.7)
We just need to multiply it with 2, to get the required p-value for two tails
P-value = 0.0892
As p-value is less than 0.1, we reject the null hypothesis
D)
Z =(8710-8900)/(800/√38)
Test statistics = -1.46
P-value = 2*0.0721 = 0.1442
P-value is greater than 0.1, we fail to reject the hypothesis.

It is advertised that the average braking distance for a small car traveling at 70 miles per hour equals 120 feet. A transportation researcher wants to determine if the statement made in the advertisement is false. She randomly test drives 37 small cars at 70 miles per hour and records the braking distance. The sample average braking distance is computed as 111 feet. Assume that the population standard deviation is 21 feet. (You may find it useful to reference the...
