Algebra.Com's Answer #720542 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming. X is normally distributed on average he was stuck for u=20 minutes. \n" ); document.write( "A random selection of five days showed the delay to have a mean =15.2 minutes with a sample deviation of 6.3 minutes. Does this mean the delay is now shorter? \n" ); document.write( "Use significant level .05. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Ho: u >= 20 \n" ); document.write( "Ha: u < 20 (claim) \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Since sample deviation = 6.3, std = 6.3*sqrt(5) = 14.09 \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "z(15.2) = (15.2-20)/14.09 = -0.34 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "p-value = P(z < -0.34) = normalcdf(-100,-0.34) = 0.63 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Conclusion:: Since the p-value is greater than 0.05, fail \n" ); document.write( "to reject Ho. \n" ); document.write( "Conclusion:: The test results do not support the claim that \n" ); document.write( "u < 20 sec. \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( " |
