17. Claim: The average cost to repair washing machine A is the same as the average cost to repair washing machine B. Test at α = 0.05 Data: A sample of 14 washing machine A’s have an average repair cost of $208 and a standard deviation of $25. A sample of 16 washing machine B’s has an average repair cost of $221 and a standard deviation of $29.
Assume that the population standard deviations for repair costs are the same for each
(a) Are these data statistically significant evidence to support the claim?

(b) Are these data statistically significant evidence to refute the claim?

A consumer advocate agency wants to find the mean repair cost of a washing machine. As part of the study 40 repair costs were selected and the mean repair cost was determined to be $150.00. From past studies the agency assumes that σ = $21. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round confidence interval values to two decimal places.)

A washing machine manufacturing company claims that an average washing machine lasts 300 days. A researcher randomly selects 15 machines for testing. The sample machines last an average of 290 days with a standard deviation of 50 days. If the company's claim is true, find the range of probability (area in right tail from the table) that 15 randomly selected machines would have an average life of no more than 290 days, in other words where does your t-statistic lie...

True and False 1) Average total cost and average variable cost are minimized at the same level of output. 2) When marginal cost is between average variable cost and average total cost, marginal cost is increasing. 3) Average total cost of producing 100 units of output is $5. If the marginal cost of producing the 101st unit is $4, then average total cost of 101 units is less than $5. 4) Average variable costs fall continuously as quantity of output...
