The mean throwing distance of a football for Marco, a high school freshman quarterback, is 40yards, with a standard deviation of two yards. The team coach tells Marco to adjust his grip to get more distance. The coach records the distances for 20throws. For the 20throws, Marco鈥檚 mean distance was 45yards. The coach thought the different grip helped Marco throw farther than 40yards. Conduct a hypothesis test using a preset =0.05. Assume the throw distances for footballs are normal.

First, determine what type of test this is, set up the hypothesis test, find thep-value, sketch the graph, and state your conclusion.

Short Answer

Expert verified

We reject H0:=40.

We don't think the average pitching distance of Marco's soccer is in 40yards but adjusting the grip will increase the distance.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

This is a test of a single population mean, because the problem is about Marco's mean distance.

We need to test

H0:=40versus Ha:>40using =0.05.

For Mark's further throw, his median distance will be greater than 40yards. The >tells as this is right-tailed.

The mean throwing distance of a football for Marco, a high school freshman quarterback, is =40yards, with a standard deviation of =2yards.

02

Explanation

Random variable Xis the mean throwing distance of a football.

Distribution for the test is normal i.e.

X:N,n=N40,220

Now we calculate the p-value using the normal distribution for a mean

P- value =P(x>45)=1-P(x<45)0

Where the sample mean in the problem is given as 45

The p-value denotes the probability to the right of the sample mean in the normal distribution

03

Conclusion

We know that,

=0.05>0=Pvalue

We reject H0:=40

In other words, we do not think the mean throwing distance of a football for Marco is 40yards but more distance when adjust his grip.

At thelocalid="1650297247231" 5%significance level, we conclude that Marco get more distance when adjust hos grip.
The sample data show there is sufficient evidence that Marco's mean distance is greater than localid="1650297250105" 40yards.

In 1955, Life Magazine reported that the 25year-old mother of three worked, on average, an 80 hour week. Recently,

many groups have been studying whether or not the women's movement has, in fact, resulted in an increase in the average

work week for women (combining employment and at-home work). Suppose a study was done to determine if the mean

work week has increased. 81women were surveyed with the following results. The sample mean was83the sample

standard deviation was ten. Does it appear that the mean work week has increased for women at the role="math" localid="1650381098713" 5%level?

The cost of a daily newspaper varies from city to city. However, the variation among prices remains steady with a

standard deviation of 20垄. A study was done to test the claim that the mean cost of a daily newspaper is $1.00. Twelve costs

yield a mean cost of 95垄 with a standard deviation of 18垄. Do the data support the claim at the 1% level?

"Japanese Girls鈥 Names"

by Kumi Furuichi

It used to be very typical for Japanese girls鈥 names to end with 鈥渒o.鈥 (The trend might have started around my grandmothers鈥 generation and its peak might have been around my mother鈥檚 generation.) 鈥淜o鈥 means 鈥渃hild鈥 in Chinese characters. Parents would name their daughters with 鈥渒o鈥 attaching to other Chinese characters which have meanings that they want their daughters to become, such as Sachiko鈥攈appy child, Yoshiko鈥攁 good child, Yasuko鈥攁 healthy child, and so on. However, I noticed recently that only two out of nine of my Japanese girlfriends at this school have names which end with 鈥渒o.鈥 More and more, parents seem to have become creative, modernized, and, sometimes, westernized in naming their children.

I have a feeling that, while 70 percent or more of my mother鈥檚 generation would have names with 鈥渒o鈥 at the end, the proportion has dropped among my peers. I wrote down all my Japanese friends鈥, ex-classmates鈥, co-workers, and acquaintances鈥 names that I could remember. Following are the names. (Some are repeats.) Test to see if the proportion has dropped for this generation.
