A teacher predict that the distribution of grades on the final exam will be and they are recorded in table 11.27

The actual distribution for a class of 20 is in table 11.28

At thesignificance level, what can you conclude?
p-value = ________
Suppose an airline claims that its flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most minutes. It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than minutes. Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for his next flights. The average delay for those flights is minutes with a standard deviation of minutes.
If an additional test were done on the claim of the average delay, which distribution would you use?
a. Explain why a goodness-of-fit test and a test of independence are generally right-tailed tests.
b. If you did a left-tailed test, what would you be testing?
A sample of commercial businesses was surveyed for recycling one commodity; a commodity here means any one type of recyclable material such as plastic or aluminum. Table shows the business categories in the survey, the sample size of each category, and the number of businesses in each category that recycle one commodity. Based on the study, on average half of the businesses were expected to be recycling one commodity. As a result, the last column shows the expected number of businesses in each category that recycle one commodity. At the % significance level, perform a hypothesis test to determine if the observed number of businesses that recycle one commodity follows the uniform distribution of the expected values.
| Business Type | Number in class | Observed Number that recycles one commodity | Expected number that recycles one commodity |
| office | |||
| Retail/ Wholesale | |||
| Food/ Restaurants | |||
| Manufacturing/ Medical | |||
| Hotel/Mixed |
