Let X be the time or period needed for an automobile center to finish an oil change.

X ∼ N (17, 2.5) 

a) 

P(X ≥ 20) = P((X - 17)/5 ≥ (20- 17)/2.5) = P(Z ≥ 1.2) = .1151 *100 = 11.51% is the answer

b) 
P(X ≥ x) = 0.07 

P (X - 17)/2.5 ≥ (x - 17)/2.5) = 0.07

P (Z ≥ z) = 0.07
look at the z table, 0.07 lies between 1.47 and 1.48, add and then divide you'll get:z = 1.475

1.475 = (x - 17)/2.5 

x = 20.6875 ≈ 21 minutes

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a) H0: u = presence of a unit root

   HA: u ≠ presence of a unit root  ( i.e. stationary series )

b) t stat = -0.064

c) We will reject the Null hypothesis and the next step will be to accept the alternative hypothesis

d) It is not valid to compare the estimated t stat with the corresponding critical value because a random walk is non-stationary while the difference is stationary because it is white noise

Explanation:

<u>a) stating the null and alternative hypothesis</u>

H0: u = presence of a unit root

HA: u ≠ presence of a unit root  ( i.e. stationary series )

<u>b) performing the test </u>

critical value = -2.88

T stat = coefficient / std error

          = -0.02 / 0.31  = -0.064

c) From the test, the value of T stat > critical value we will reject the Null hypothesis hence the next step will be to accept the alternative hypothesis

d) It is not valid to compare the estimated t stat with the corresponding critical value because a random walk is non-stationary while the difference is stationary because it is white noise
