Answer:

We conclude that the mean waiting time is less than 10 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a public bus company official claims that the mean waiting time for bus number 14 during peak hours is less than 10 minutes.

Karen took bus number 14 during peak hours on 18 different occasions. Her mean waiting time was 7.8 minutes with a standard deviation of 2.5 minutes.

Let \mu = <u><em>mean waiting time for bus number 14.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq 10 minutes      {means that the mean waiting time is more than or equal to 10 minutes}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 10 minutes    {means that the mean waiting time is less than 10 minutes}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample t test statistics</u> as we don't know about the population standard deviation;

                       T.S. =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ t_n_-_1

where, \bar X = sample mean waiting time = 7.8 minutes

             s = sample standard deviation = 2.5 minutes

             n = sample of different occasions = 18

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u> =  \frac{7.8-10}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{18} } }  ~ t_1_7

                              =  -3.734

The value of t test statistics is -3.734.

Now, at 0.01 significance level the t table gives critical value of -2.567 for left-tailed test.

Since our test statistic is less than the critical value of t as -3.734 < -2.567, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which <u>we reject our null hypothesis</u>.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean waiting time is less than 10 minutes.

Burka [1]
Let's assign three blanks for each digit of the unknown number. But let's fill in the tens digit because it is already specified.

_ 4 _

The last digit should be even to make it even. The possible digits for this are 2, 4, 6, and 8. The first digit could be any digit from 1 to 9. Therefore, the possible answers are 

142  242  342  442  542  642  742  842  942
144  244  344  444  544  644  744  844  944
146  246  346  446  546  646  746  846  946
148  248  348  448  548  648  748  848  948

Therefore, there are a total of 36 possible answers.

Find the median mode range and any outliers. Then describe the data using them 77777,88,555,6,99,10101010,12
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The median = 5

The mode  = 7

Range = 5

Outliers= None

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the  value of the middle term.

The median is that value which divides the data into two equal halves.

7,7,7,7,7,8,8,5,5,5,6,9,9,10,10,10,10,12

There are 18 terms . So the middle term would be 9th term value= 5

The mode is the value which is repeated the most. = 7

Range is the difference between the highest and lowest value.= 12- 7= 5

The interquartile range, IQR= q3 - q1 where q3= 10 and q1= 7

IQR= 10 −7=3

The inner fences can be found out by

q1−(1.5*IQR) and q3+(1.5*IQR)

=7−(1.5*3) and 10+(1.5*3)

Inner fences: 2.5 and 14.5

The outer fences are q1−(3*IQR) and q3+(3*IQR)

=7−(3*3) and 10+(3*3)

Outer fences: -2 and 19

So if there are any outliers in this data set, they will either be less than -2 or greater than 19. But there are no outliers.
