    Null and Alternative Hypotheses for Normal Distribution Mean

    Suppose that you wish to test a researcher's claim that the mean of a normally distributed population has increased from its commonly accepted value of 1.60. In order to carry out this test, you obtain a random sample size of 150 from this population. This sample yields a mean of 1.80 and a standard deviation of 1.30. What are t

    Test of hypothesis for difference between means: Prepare answers for the following Exercises and show all of your work in an Excel spreadsheet. A sample of 40 observations is selected from one population.

    Exercise #1 A sample of 40 observations is selected from one population. The sample mean is 102 and the sample STDEV is 5. A second sample of 50 observations is selected from a second population. That sample mean is 99 and the STDEV is 6. Conduct the following test of hypotheses using the 0.04 significance level: H(0): m

    Customers were waiting in line too long so data was collected. The mean time was 28 minutes. One month later a sample of 127 customers was selected. The mean wait time recorded was 26.9 minutes and the S.D. of the sampling was 8 minutes. Using the .02 level of significance, conduct a 5 step hypothesis testing to determine if the new processes significantly reduced the wait time.
