Question 61950: I ask for your help with the listed two exercise problems. Thank you for your help.
The following information is available.
1. The sample mean is 12 for a sample of 36. The population standard deviation is 3. Use the .02 significance level
Ho:u _< 10 v should be moved under the line but I do not know how to do so.
H1:u >10
2. A sample of 64 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean is 215, and the sample standard deviation is 15. Conduct the following test of hypothesis using the .03 significance level.
Ho: u >_ 220 _ should be moved just under > but I do not know how to do so.
Ho: u < 220

4. Clark Heter is an industrial engineer at Lyons Products. He would like to determine whether there are more units produced on the afternoon shift than on the day shift. A sample of 54 day-shift workers showed that the mean number of units produced was 345, with a standard deviation of 21. A sample of 60 afternoon-shift workers showed that the mean number of units produced was 351, with a standard deviation of 28 units. At the .05 significance level, is the number of units produced on the afternoon shift larger?

Question 61473:
1. What are the key terms in a verbal hypothesis that signify whether you are conducting a one–tailed or two-tailed test? When would you use a two population test with a large sample size at your place of employment, in your education, or in politics? Could gender be used as a variable in the creation of a test of two populations? Why or why not? When would you use a two population test with a small sample size at your place of employment, in your education, or in politics?
2. What constitutes a small sample size in a test of two populations? When testing two populations with small sample sizes, do both sample sizes have to be identical? Why or why not?
3. What are the differences among a proportion, a percentage, and a ratio? When would you use a hypothesis test for the difference in two population proportions at your place of employment, in your education, or in politics? How does a non-parametric business scenario differ from a parametric business scenario?

Question 61244: In a recent election, 10,000 people voted, 4900 voted for Jones, 5100 voted for Smith. There was a challenge and 1,000 votes were thrown out. Assume p=P(votes for Jones)=4900/10000=.49, and that n=1000. If we randomly throw out 1000 votes, jones will need at least 4501 of the remaining 9000 to win. this means that of the 1000 thrown out, less than 400 must be "Jones" votes in order for him to win.
Q: What is the probability that Jones will win under these conditions? It has to be done with the normal distribution, and I have no idea what that is...help please...

3. The management of White Industries is considering a new method of assembling its golf cart. The present method requires 42.3 minutes, on the average, to assemble a cart. The mean assembly time for a random sample of 24 carts, using the new method, was 40.6 minutes, and the standard deviation of the sample was 2.7 minutes. Using the .10 level of significance,for a random sample of 24 carts, using the new method, was 40.6 minutes, and the standard deviation of the sample was 2.7 minutes. Using the .10 level of significance, can we conclude that the assembly time using the new method is faster?
