Statistics In the manual “How to Have a Number One the Easy Way,” it is stated that a song “must be no longer than three minutes

and thirty seconds (210 seconds)”. A simple random sample of 40 current hit songs results in a mean length of 252.5 seconds. Assume that the standard deviation of song lengths is 54.5 sec. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 seconds.

Answer:

We conclude that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a simple random sample of 40 current hit songs results in a mean length of 252.5 seconds.

Assume that the standard deviation of song lengths is 54.5 sec.

Let \mu = <u><em>population mean length of the songs</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \leq 210 seconds      {means that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean smaller than or equal to 210 seconds}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu > 210 seconds      {means that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 seconds}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z-test statistics </u>because we know about population standard deviation;

                              T.S.  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean length of songs = 252.5 seconds

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 54.5 seconds

            n = sample of current hit songs = 40

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u> =  \frac{252.5-210}{\frac{54.5}{\sqrt{40} } }

                                   =  4.932

The value of z-test statistics is 4.932.

Now, at 0.05 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of 1.645 for the right-tailed test.

Since the value of our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as 4.932 > 1.645, so <u><em>we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis</em></u> as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210 seconds.

Lalo has 1500 minutes per month on his cell phone plan. How many more minutes can he use if he has already talked for 785 minute
SVEN [57.7K]
1500 - 785 = 715 
number of minutes per month - number of minutes used = number of minutes left.
