Company X claims that its cell phones last significantly longer than cell phones sold by company Y. the company collected the mean length of time that cell phones from each company last before needing to be replaced.
xbar s n
company a 3.456 .85 80
Company b 2.876 .85 80
Is there sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis (that the mean length of time for the two population is equal) at a significance level of .01?
a. z-score=4.7657, p-value<.00001; reject the null
b. z-score=4.7657, p-value<.00001; fail to reject null
c. t-score=6.7398, p-value<.00001; reject null
d. t-score=6.7398, p-value<.00001; fail to reject the null hypothesis

A company that produces cell phones claims its standard phone
battery lasts longer on average than other batteries in the market.
To support this claim, the company publishes an ad reporting the
results of a recent experiment showing that under normal
usage,their batteries last at least 35 hours. To investigate this
claim, a consumer advocacy group asked the company for the raw
data. The company sends the group the following results: 35, 34,
32, 31, 34, 34, 32, 33, 35,...

Newtel Inc. manufactures Cell phones. Last year Newtel
sold 30,000 phones at $80 each. Total costs amounted to $1,800,000
of which $600,000 were considered fixed.
In an attempt to improve its product,
the company is considering replacing a component part that has a
cost of $16 with a new and better part costing $26 per unit in the
coming year. A new machine would also be needed to increase plant
capacity. The machine would cost $100,000 with a useful life...

A national manufacturer of replacement shock absorbers claims
that its product lasts longer than the type that the car
manufacturer usually installs. To examine this claim independent
samples of cars were equipped with the original (sample 1) and
replacement shock absorbers (sample 2). The cars were then driven
until the shock absorbers were no longer effective, and the number
of kms was recorded in thousands. The 90% confidence interval for
the difference in the average distance travelled was estimated as...
An electronics company wants to compare the quality of their cell phones to the cell phones from three competitors.
1. An electronics company wants to compare the quality of their cell phones to the cell phones from three competitors. They sample 10 phones from each company and count the number of defects for each phone. If ANOVA was used to compare the average number of defects, then the treatments would be defined as:
Select one:
a. The three companies
b. The total number of phones
c. The number of cell phones sampled
d. The average number of defects
2....

A biologist claims that a specific type of hamsters live for
longer than, or equal to, 5 years on average. From 2000 hamsters
that she has in her lab, she selects a random sample of 50 hamsters
for testing and recorded that they lived for 4.9 years on
average.
Based published papers in the field, she knows that the standard
deviation of the lifespan of this type of hamsters is 1/3 years.
Help the biologist to conduct a hypothesis test...

A manufacturer's association claims that 92% of adults own cell
phones. A technology researcher thinks the proportion is lower. In
a random sample of 300 adults, 267 said they had a cell phone.
Using these results and a 0.05 significance level, formulate and
test the researcher's hypothesis.

A local hospital claims that you will not wait longer than 45
minutes in the emergency room. You go out to test this claim and
find a sample of 81 patients chosen at random from their emergency
room, you find a sample mean of 52 minutes with a sample standard
deviation of 23 minutes. Can you publicly debunk their claim (call
their claim fraudulent) at the 1% significance level? Use a test
stat and then a p-value to determine if...

A study is done to test the claim that Company A retains its
workers longer than Company B. Company A samples 16 workers, and
their average time with the company is 5.2 years with a standard
deviation of 1.1. Company B samples 21 workers, and their average
time with the company is 4.6 years with a standard deviation of
0.9. The populations are normally distributed.
