A city council is deciding whether or not to spend additional money to reduce the amount of traffic. The council decides that it

will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers exceeds 18 minutes. A sample of 26 main roads results in a mean waiting time of 21.1 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 5.4 minutes. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% significance level.

Answer:

t = 2.9272 > 1.708 at 25 degrees of freedom

null hypothesis is rejected

The council decides that it will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers is not exceeds 18 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step (i):</u>-

A sample of 26 main roads results in a mean waiting time of 21.1 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 5.4 minutes.

Given sample size 'n' = 26

The mean of the sample 'x⁻ = 21.1 min

Standard deviation of the sample 'S' = 5.4 min

The Population mean 'μ' = 18min

<u>Step(ii)</u>:-

<u>Null hypothesis: H₀</u> :  The council decides that it will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers exceeds 18 minutes.

'μ' > 18min

<u>Alternative hypothesis</u> :H₁:  

'μ' <18min

<u>Level of significance :</u> ∝=0.05

Degrees of freedom γ = n-1 = 26-1 =25

The test statistic

 t  = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} } }

t  = \frac{21.1-18}{\frac{5.4}{\sqrt{26} } }

t = 2.9272

<u>Step(iii)</u>:-

The tabulated value t = 1.708 at 25 degrees of freedom

t = 2.9272 > 1.708 at 25 degrees of freedom

Null hypothesis is rejected at  5% significance level of significance

<u>Conclusion</u>:-  

The council decides that it will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers is not exceeds 18 minutes

Katena32 [7]
The cost of the monthly fee is 50$.. if the joining fee is 100.. take 200 and subtract that fee since it is included in the total. You’re left with 100. Note, the 200 is calculated for a 2 month period, so split the remaining 100 ,from the total 200, into 2. You’re left with 50 each month.

T=(C-100)/2 (T being 1 month) (C being the total cost/200)

Hopefully
