The Boston public school district has had difficulty maintaining on-time bus service for its students ("A Year Later, School Bus

es Still Late," Boston Globe, October 5). Suppose the district develops a new bus schedule to help combat chronic lateness on a particularly woeful route. Historically, the bus service on the route has been, on average, 12 minutes late. After the schedule adjustment, the first 36 runs were an average of eight minutes late. As a result, the Boston public school district claimed that the schedule adjustment was an improvement—students were not as late. Assume a population standard deviation for bus arrival time of 12 minutes. The value of the test statistic is ________.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 12

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ < 12

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 12 minutes

x = 8 minutes

σ = 12 minutes

n = 36

z = (8 - 12)/(12/√36) = - 4/2 = - 2

Test statistic = - 2

vova2212 [387]
10 cheese pizzas

use  simple ratio, 3:2 (3 pepperoni for every 2 cheese)
to make the ratio bigger, we substitute the "3" pepperoni for "15" pepperoni. then take the new amount, 15/3 original, you get 5. then multiply the 2 original cheese pizzas by that 5, and you get 10 cheese pizza's. 

hope that helps
