The driver of a Hyundai Accent takes 12 long trips after filling their car with premium gasoline, and 14 long trips after filling their car with unleaded gasoline. In a hypothesis test to see if there is evidence of a difference in average fuel economy, the p-value is found to be .261 The sample average fuel economy is slightly better for the premium trips (36.3 miles per gallon vs. 35.9 miles per gallon), but premium gasoline is more expensive than...
Do you drink the recommended amount of water each day? Most Americans don't! On average, Americans drink 4.5 eight-oz servings of water a day, 36 total ounces per day. A sample of 40 education professionals was randomly selected and their water consumption for a 24-hour period was monitored; the mean amount consumed was 38.7 oz. Assuming the amount of water consumed daily by adults is normally distributed and the standard deviation is 11.7 oz, is there sufficient evidence to show...
In one year, an online travel agency reported that summer travelers booked their airline reservations an average of 72.4 days in advance. A random sample of 40 summer travelers in a later year was selected, and the number of days travelers booked their airline reservations in advance was recorded. The data are shown in the accompanying table. Complete parts a through c below. Click the icon to view the data table. a. Perform a hypothesis test using a = 0.01...
On average, a banana will last 6.3 days from the time it is purchased in the store to the time it is too rotten to cat Is the mean time to spoil less if the banana is hung from the ceiling? The data show results of an experiment with 13 bananas that are hung from the ceiling. Assume that that distribution of the population is normal 1,4,45,47,72,3.6,54,55,52,56,5.6,63,6.2 What can be concluded at the the a -0.05 level of significance level...
The average amount of time it takes for couples to further communicate with each other after their first date has ended is 3.19 days. Is this average longer for blind dates? A researcher interviewed 59 couples who had recently been on blind dates and found that they averaged 3.4 days to communicate with each other after the date was over. Their standard deviation was 0.849 days. What can be concluded at the the a-0.01 level of significance? a. For this...
Many students brag that they have more than 125 friends on a social media website. For a class project, a group of students asked a random sample of 13 students at their college who used the social media website about their number of friends and got the data available below. Is there strong evidence that the mean number of friends for the student population at the college who use the social media website is larger than 125? 110 40 250...
The latest model of a certain brand of electric car is reported to have an average range of 195 miles. An auto industry journalist would like to verify this claim, since she believes that the true range of the car may be less than 195 miles. The journalist selected and tested a random sample of 80 cars of this model and found that the average range of the sample was 190.8 miles with a standard deviation of 31.3 miles. Apply...
A large university is interested in learning about the average time it takes students to drive to campus. The university sampled 238 students and asked each to provide the amount of time they spent traveling to campus, the average and standard deviation were 21.5 and 4.32 respectively.This variable, travel time, was then used conduct a test of hypothesis. The goal was to determine if the average travel time of all the university's students differed from 20 minutes. Use a level...
Which of the following statements regarding p-value is FALSE? Group of answer choices A. It is the probability of the observed test statistic or one more extreme, assuming the null is true. B. The smaller the p-value, the less likely that the observed difference was due to random chance. C. p-values do not indicate the magnitude or importance of the observed difference. D. Big p-values provide strong evidence against the Null hypothesis.
When only the value-added time is considered, the time it takes to build a laser printer is thought to be uniformly distributed between 10 and 17 hours. a. What are the chances that it will take more than 16 value-added hours to build a printer? b. How likely is it that a printer will require less than 15 value-added hours? c. Suppose a single customer orders two printers. Determine the probability that the first and second printer each will require...
