A local trucking company fitted a regression to relate the travel time (days) of its shipments as a function of the distance traveled (miles). The fitted regression is Time = −7.126 + 0.0214 Distance, based on a sample of 20 shipments. The estimated standard error of the slope is 0.0053. Find the value of tcalc to test for zero slope.

The maintenance manager at a trucking company wants to build a regression model to forecast the time (in years) until the first engine overhaul based on four explanatory variables: (1) annual miles driven (in 1,000s of miles), (2) average load weight (in tons), (3) average driving speed (in mph), and (4) oil change interval (in 1,000s of miles). Based on driver logs and onboard computers, data have been obtained for a sample of 25 trucks. A portion of the data...

The logistics company wants to know if the time it takes to receive shipments is the same or different for two shipping companies. A random sample of delivery times is selected for each of the two shipping firms. The null and alternative hypotheses are: ?0: (?1−?2)=0 ??: (?1−?2)≠0 A 0.10 significance level is chosen for this two-tailed test. The samples are selected, and the results are: ?1 = 14.8 ????   ?1 = 4.6 ???? ?1 = 35 ?2 = 17.4...
