Question 21(CO7) An advocacy group claims that the mean braking distance
Question 21(CO7) An advocacy group claims that the mean braking distance of a certain type of tire is 75
feet when the car is going 40 miles per hour. In a test of 45 of these tires, the braking distance has a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 5.9 feet. Find the standardized test statistic and the corresponding p-value.
A)z-test statistic = 3.41, p-value = 0.0003
B)z-test statistic = -3.41, p-value = 0.0003
C)z-test statistic = 3.41, p-value = 0.0006
D)z-test statistic = -3.41, p-value = 0.0003
Question 22
(CO7) The heights of 82 roller coasters have a mean of 285.2 feet and a standard deviation of 59.3 feet. Find the standardized tests statistics and the corresponding p-value when the claim is that roller coasters are more than 290 feet tall.
A)z-test statistic = -0.73, p-value = 0.4636
B)z-test statistic = -0.73, p-value = 0.2318
C)z-test statistic = 0.73, p-value = 0.4636
D)z-test statistic = 0.73, p-value = 0.2318
Question 23
(CO7) A light bulb manufacturer guarantees that the mean life of a certain type of light bulb is at least 720 hours. A random sample of 51 light bulbs as a mean of 712.8 hours with a standard deviation of 62 hours. At an α=0.05, can you support the company’s claim using the test statistic?
A)Claim is the null, fail to reject the null and support claim as test statistic (-0.83) is not in the rejection region defined by the critical value (-1.645)
B)Claim is the alternative, reject the null and support claim as test statistic (-0.83) is not in the rejection region defined by the critical value (-1.96)
C)Claim is the alternative, fail to reject the null and cannot support claim as the test statistic (-0.83) is in the rejection region defined by the critical value (-1.96)
D)Claim is the null, reject the null and cannot support claim as test statistic (-0.83) is in the rejection region defined by the critical value (-1.645)
Question 24
(CO7) A restaurant claims the customers receive their food in less than 16 minutes. A random sample of 39 customers finds a mean wait time for food to be 15.8 minutes with a standard deviation of 4.1 minutes. At α = 0.04, can you support the organizations’ claim using the test statistic?
A)Claim is the null, fail to reject the null so support the claim as test statistic (-0.30) is not in the rejection region defined by the critical value (1.75)
B)Claim is the alternative, fail to reject the null so cannot support the claim as test statistic (-0.30) is not in the rejection region defined by the critical value (-1.75)
C)Claim is the alternative, reject the null so support the claim as test statistic (-0.30) is in the rejection region defined by the critical value (-2.05)
D)Claim is the null, reject the null so cannot support the claim as test statistic (-0.30) is in the rejection region defined by the critical value (1.75)
Question 25
(CO7) A manufacturer claims that their calculators are 6.800 inches long. A random sample of 39 of their calculators finds they have a mean of 6.812 inches with a standard deviation of 0.03 inches. At α=0.08, can you support the manufacturer’s claim using the p value?
A)Claim is the alternative, fail to reject the null and support claim as p-value (0.012) is less than alpha (0.08)
B)Claim is the alternative, reject the null and cannot support claim as p-value (0.006) is less than alpha (0.08)
C)Claim is the null, fail to reject the null and support claim as p-value (0.006) is greater than alpha (0.08)
D)Claim is the null, reject the null and cannot support claim as p-value (0.012) is less than alpha (0.08)
