The manager of an automobile dealership is considering a new bonus plan in order to
increase sales. Currently, the mean sales rate per salesperson is five automobiles per
month. The correct set of hypotheses for testing the effect of the bonus plan is _____. -

A production manager asks the analytics team to test the hypothesis that the average
time to complete a production run is 75 minutes. The analytics team collects a sample
of 35 production run times and finds a sample mean of 77 minutes and s = 6.7. Report
the test statistic for this hypothesis test. - Answer- 1.766
Use the information here to conduct a hypothesis test. Assume the population is
normally distributed.
n=36 =81.8 s=9.3
H0:μ≥84 vs Ha:μ<84
At the 0.05 level of significance the result of the test is, _____. - Answer- fail to reject
the null hypothesis
In testing the null hypothesis H0:μ1-μ2= 0, the computed test statistic is z = 1.5. The
corresponding p-value is _____. - Answer- 0.1336
Bastien, Inc. has been manufacturing small automobiles that have averaged 45 miles
per gallon of gasoline in highway driving. The company has developed a more efficient
engine for its small cars and now advertises that its new small cars average more than
45 miles per gallon in highway driving. An independent testing service road-tested 52 of
the automobiles. The sample showed an average of 46.1 miles per gallon. The sample
standard deviation is 5.3 miles per gallon. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test. Find
the t-statistic and the appropriate conclusion at the 0.01 level of significance. - Answer- t
= 1.4966 ; fail to reject the null hypothesis
In order to determine the average price of hotel rooms in Houston, a sample of 38
hotels was selected. It was determined that the average price of the rooms in the
sample was $120.7 with a standard deviation of 4. Use an 0.1 level of significance and
determine whether or not the average room price is significantly different from $118.5.
Choose the t-statistic and the appropriate conclusion. - Answer- t = 3.3904 ; reject the
null hypothesis
In hypothesis testing, if the null hypothesis has been rejected when the alternative
hypothesis has been true, _____. - Answer- the correct decision has been made
In hypothesis testing, the alternative hypothesis is _____. - Answer- the hypothesis
concluded to be true if the null hypothesis is rejected

8 chocolate chips. The average number of chocolate chips per cookie in the sample
was 8.2 with a standard deviation of 0.6. Assume the distribution of the population is
normal. Use a 0.01 level of significance. Choose the t-statistic and the appropriate
conclusion for testing this claim. - Answer- t = 2.0817 ; fail to reject the null hypothesis

significance. Choose the t-statistic and the appropriate conclusion. - Answer- t = 2.144 ;
fail to reject the null hypothesis
