Chapter 9: Q.79 (page 543)

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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Yes, the average work hours for women have 5%grown.

Step by step solution

01

 Given Information

Let渭=populationmeanworkweekforwomen

So, Null Hypothesis , H0: 渭鈮�80hour week

( the mean work week has not increased for women )

Alternate Hypothesis , H0:渭>80

( the mean work week has increased for women )

02

Explanation

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t test statistics because we do not know about population standard deviation ;

T.S=X炉-渭sn~t=n-1

Where,

X炉=samplemeanworkweek=83

s = sample standard deviation =10

n= sample of women =75

So,t=83-801075~t=74

=2.598

Use the following information to answer the next seven exercises: Suppose that a recent article stated that the mean time spent in jail by a first-time convicted burglar is 2.5 years. A study was then done to see if the mean time has increased in the new century. A random sample of 26 first-time convicted burglars in a recent year was picked. The mean length of time in jail from the survey was three years with a standard deviation of 1.8 years. Suppose that it is somehow known that the population standard deviation is 1.5. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean length of jail time has increased. Assume the distribution of the jail times is approximately normal.

The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5percent of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult American population.

An article in the San Jose Mercury News stated that students in the California state university system take 4.5 years, on

average, to finish their undergraduate degrees. Suppose you believe that the mean time is longer. You conduct a survey of

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?
