Hello, I have some questions about STAT that I want to someone can help me. Please give me detailed solutions. Thank you!!
The credit manager of a large department store claims that the average account balance of the store\'s credit customers is $125, with a standard deviation of $50. An auditor from Haskin and Anderson selects 100 accounts at random and observes that the sample mean is $132. Using a 0.05 level of significance, can the credit manager\'s claim be justified? A machine produces twine with an average breaking strength of 40 After the machine has been in use for several working days, a sample of 64 pieces is examined. The sample mean is found to be 38 pounds and the sample standard deviation 5 pounds. Advise the supervisor on whether a change has occurred in the mean breaking strength. whether a change has occurred in the mearnSolution
Formulating the null and alternatuve hypotheses,
Ho: p = 0.6
Ha: p =/= 0.6
As we see, the hypothesized po = 0.6
Getting the point estimate of p, p^,
p^ = x / n = 0.5
Getting the standard error of p^, sp,
sp = sqrt[po (1 - po)/n] = 0.040824829
Getting the z statistic,
z = (p^ - po)/sp = -2.449489743
As this is a 2 tailed test, then, getting the p value,
p = 0.014305878
significance level = 0.05
As P < 0.05, we REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.
Thus, there is significant evidence that the proportion of all homeowners that move to another house within 5 years from the time they purchased their first house is not 60%. [CONCLUSION]
