Chapter 10: Q.128 (page 610)

A study is done to determine if students in the California state university system take longer to graduate than students enrolled in private universities. One hundred students from both the California state university system and private universities are surveyed. From years of research, it is known that the population standard deviations are 1.5811 years and one year, respectively.

Indicate which of the following choices best identifies the hypothesis test.

a. Independent group means, population standard deviation and/or variances known

b. Independent group means, population standard deviation and/or variances unknown

c. Matched or paired samples.

d. Single mean

e. Two proportions.

f. Single proportion.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is option (a)

Independent group means, population standard deviation and/or variances known.

96. Some manufacturers claim that non-hybrid sedan cars have a lower mean miles-per-gallon (mpg) than hybrid ones. Suppose that consumers test 21 hybrid sedans and get a mean of 31 mpg with a standard deviation of seven mpg. Thirty one non-hybrid sedans get a mean of 22mpg with a standard deviation of four mpg. Suppose that the population standard deviations are known to be six and three, respectively. Conduct a hypothesis test to evaluate the manufacturers claim.

The league mean batting average is 0.280 with a known standard deviation of 0.06. The Rattlers and the Vikings belong

to the league. The mean batting average for a sample of eight Rattlers is 0.210, and the mean batting average for a sample

of eight Vikings is 0.260. There are 24 players on the Rattlers and 19 players on the Vikings. Are the batting averages of the

Rattlers and Vikings statistically different?

Marketing companies have collected data implying that teenage girls use more ring tones on their cellular phones than

teenage boys do. In one particular study of 40 randomly chosen teenage girls and boys (20 of each) with cellular phones,

the mean number of ring tones for the girls was 3.2 with a standard deviation of 1.5. The mean for the boys was 1.7 with

a standard deviation of 0.8. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the means are approximately the same or if the girls鈥�

mean is higher than the boys鈥� mean.

In a random sample of 100 forests in the United States, 56 were coniferous or contained conifers. In a random sample of 80 forests in Mexico, 40 were coniferous or contained conifers. Is the proportion of conifers in the United States statistically more than the proportion of conifers in Mexico?

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. A study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a software patch in reducing system failures over a six-month period. Results for randomly selected installations are shown in Table 10.21. The 鈥渂efore鈥� value is matched to an 鈥渁fter鈥� value, and the differences are calculated. The differences have a normal distribution. Test at the 1% significance level.
