An automobile assembly line operation has a scheduled mean completion time, , of minutes. The standard deviation of completion t

imes is minutes. It is claimed that, under new management, the mean completion time has decreased. To test this claim, a random sample of completion times under new management was taken. The sample had a mean of minutes. Can we support, at the level of significance, the claim that the mean completion time has decreased under new management

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

An automobile assembly line operation has a scheduled mean completion time, μ, of 15.5 minutes. The standard deviation of completion times is 1.7 minutes. It is claimed that, under new management, the mean completion time has decreased. To test this claim, a random sample of 90 completion times under new management was taken. The sample had a mean of 15.4 minutes. Can we support, at the 0.1 level of significance, the claim that the mean completion time has decreased under new management?

Solution :

The given data :

n = 90

μ = 15.5

σ = 1.7

$\overline x$ = 15.4

So, the null hypothesis is : $H_0: \mu = 15.5$ is been tested against

Alternate hypothesis : $H_1 : \mu < 15.5 $   (one-tailed test)

Since, the sample size is sufficiently large and the sample deviation is known, we use the Z-test.

Under this test, the test statistic is given as :

$Z=\frac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} \sim N(0,1)$

Under H_0, we have

$Z_0=\frac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} $

$Z_0=\frac{15.4-15.5}{1.7/\sqrt{90}} $

$Z_0=-0.56$

The critical value for the test is $Z_{\alpha} = Z_{0.1} = -1.28$

We observe that (-0.56 > -1.28), and so we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

No, there is no evidence to support the claim that the mean completion time has decreased.

Thus, we conclude that the mean completion time is 15.5 minutes.

The smaller the standard deviation, _______________________. Select one: a. the less variability it has b. the more variability
algol13

Answer:

a. the less variability it has

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values.

When your standard deviation is big your data is more dispersed.

When your standar deviation is small your mean is a representative index of your data, and there is less variability.

If there was no dispersion of the data (if all your data be the same) then the standard deviation will be 0.

How do i solve for x

The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try! so im pretty sure its 20
