A bank manager has developed a new system to reduce the time customers spend waiting for teller service during peak hours. The m

anager hopes that the new system will reduce waiting times from the current 9 to 10 minutes to less than 6 minutes.1. Set up the null and alternative hypotheses needed if we wish to attempt to provide evidence supporting the claim that the mean waiting time is shorter than six minutes.2. The mean and the standard deviation of a sample of 100 bank customer waiting times are 5.46 minutes and 2.475 minutes, respectively.
(a) Use the critical value approach to test H0 versus Ha when α = 0.05.

(b) Use the p-value approach to test H0 versus Ha when α = 0.05.

Answer:

Both the approach gave the same conclusion:

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean waiting time is shorter than six minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = 6 minutes

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 5.46 minutes

Sample size, n = 100

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 2.475 minutes

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 6\text{ minutes}\\H_A: \mu < 6\text{ minutes}

We use one-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{5.36 - 6}{\frac{2.475}{\sqrt{100}} } = -2.5858

a) Use the critical value approach

Now, t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 99 degree of freedom } = -1.6603Since, the calculated test statistic is less than the critical value of t, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that new system reduces the time customers spend waiting for teller service during peak hours from the current 9 to 10 minutes to less than 6 minutes.

b) Use the p-value approach

The p-value can be calculated as:

P-value = 0.0055

Since the p-value is less than the significance level, we fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Thus, there is enough evidence to support the claim that new system reduces the time customers spend waiting for teller service during peak hours from the current 9 to 10 minutes to less than 6 minutes.

Down means in the y coordinate , left means negative x

Down 3 means subtract 3 from y

left 1 means subtract 3 from x

(1-1, 1-3)

(0,-2)

A video game arcade offers a yearly membership with reduced rates for game play. A single membership costs $60 per year. Game to
Nastasia [14]

Let

x-------> the number of game tokens purchased for a member of the arcade

y-------> the function of the yearly cost in dollars

we know that

the function y of the yearly cost in dollars is equal to

y =\frac{1}{10} x +60

This is the equation of the line

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

<u>Statements</u>

<u>case a)</u> The slope of the function is $1.00

The statement is False

The slope of the function is equal to \frac{1}{10} \frac{\$}{tokens}

<u>case b)</u> The y-intercept of the function is $60

The statement is True

we know that

The y-intercept of the function is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to zero

so

for x=0

y =\frac{1}{10}*0 +60

y =\$60

<u>case c)</u> The function can be represented by the equation y =(1/10)x + 60

The statement is True

The equation of the function is equal to y =\frac{1}{10} x +60

<u>case d)</u> The domain is all real numbers

The statement is False

The value of x cannot be negative, therefore the domain is the interval

[0,∞)

<u>case e)</u> The range is {y| y ≥ 60}

The statement is True

The range of the function is the interval-------> [60,∞)

. Dillion deposits $150 into his account. One week later, he withdraws $26. Write an addition expression to represent this situa
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Expression = x + 150 +(- 26)

$124 higher

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Deposit = \$150

Withdrawal = \$26

Required

Represent the situation

Determine how much higher or lower is the remaining amount

Let the initial amount in his account be represented with x

When he deposited, the balance becomes

Balance = x + 150

When he withdrew, the balance becomes

Balance = x + 150 + (-26)

Hence, the algebraic expression is

Expression = x + 150 +(- 26)

Calculating how much higher or lower

Balance = x + 150 + (-26)

Open bracket

Balance = x + 150 -26

Balance = x + 124

Recall that the initial amount in the account is x

The difference between the balance and the x is as follows

Difference = x + 124 - x

Difference = \$124

<em>Hence, the account has a higher of $124 after both transactions</em>
