Test the hypothesis that false alarms are equally likely to occur in any month. Use 1% level of significance.
Procedure: Select an answer
What is the total count (that is, total number of false alarms counted):
If false alarms are equally likely to occur in any month of 12 months, then what is the expected number
of false alarms to occur in any month from the total false alarms of the year (Rounded to 3 or more

A school administrator wants to see if there is a difference in the number of students per class for the
Portland Public School district (Group 1) compared to the Beaverton School district (Group 2).
Let μ be the average number of students per class for the Portland Public School district.
Let 2 be the average number of students per class for the Beaverton School district. Assume the
populations are normally distributed.
A random sample of 25 Portland classes found a mean of 36 students per class with a standard deviation of
6.
A random sample of 27 Beaverton classes found a mean of 38 students per class with a standard deviation
of 5.
a. Find a 91% confidence interval for the difference of the means. Use Excel Two Means Calculator
found in the Course and round answers to 2 decimal places.

b. Select the correct conclusion based on the above confidence interval.
O Since the above confidence interval contains zero, with 91% confident, it is plausible that the
average number of…

1. Currently, bank employees in the United States On less than $2,000/month. How would you
set up a hypothesis test to corroborate this statement based on a given sample and confidence
level?
A. Ho:

B. Ho: ≤2000
c. H₁: <2000
D. H₁: ≤2000
Assuming that the number of customer complaints follows a normal distribution, test the
hypothesis that the average number of complaints is higher in the Mexican franchise (remember
to first conduct a test for the equality of variances to find the statistic to use in the test of means).
Use a significance level of 5% for your calculations.
A. This is a left-tailed test where the test statistic t = -1.4558 allows us to reject Ho.
B. This is a right-tailed test where the test statistic t = -1.4201 allows us to reject H.
C. This is a left-tailed test where the test statistic t = -1.4558 does not allow us to reject

However, it is suspected that in recent years there has been a change in customer preferences. To analyze whether this is, in fact, the case, the records of 250 customers who recently made a purchase are taken, obtaining the following results: Male Female Standard variety Decaf Number of clients 207 No education 15 30 Primary education 120 150 Secondary 90 90 education Post-secondary education 65 40 A.

- Please answer Question 4arrow_forwardA researcher conducts an experiment to examine the relationship between the weight gain of chickens whose diets had been supplemented by different amounts of amino acid lysine and the amount of lysine ingested. Since the percentage of lysine is known, and we can monitor the amount of feed consumed, we can determine the amount of lysine eaten. A random sample of twelve 2-week-old chickens was selected for the study. Each was caged separately and was allowed to eat at will from feed composed of a base supplemented with lysine. The ample data summarizing weight gains and amounts of lysine eaten over the test period are given below. (In the data ✓, y represents weight gain in grams, and x represents the amount of lysine ingested in grams.)
