production system. Unfortunately, the new machinery has been frequently failing
and requiring repairs and service. The company has been able to provide its
customers with a completion time of 6 days or less. To analyze whether the
completion time has increased, the production manager took a sample of 36 jobs
and found that the sample mean completion time was 6.5 days with a sample
standard deviation of 1.5 days. At a significance level of .10, test whether the
completion time has increased.
Sample size: 36
Sample standard deviation: 5
Sample mean: 6.5
Formulate a hypothesis test to evaluate the claim.
(Points: 10)
Answer:
Ho=u > 6
Ha= u < 6
If p-value is less than the alpha (.10) then we reject the null hypothesis (H0).
Alpha=.10
P=.9733
Go to Megastat:
Put data in excel (sample mean, standard deviation, sample size) = (6.5,1.5,36)
Choose Hypothesis Test, then Mean versus Hypothesied Value

2. There are 10 buses lined up outside of the school at 8:00 am to go to the UIL band competition.
In the past 50 percent of the buses have left on time. Assume that the number of buses that
leave on time is binomially distributed

3. Local dentist sees lots of students each day. He is interested in the statistics so that he can predict
what a typical day will be like. Using the MegaStat output given, determine:
(A) Range (5 points)
(B) Median (5 points)
(C) The range of the data that would contain 68% of the results. (5points)
D) The range of the data that would contain 95% of the results. (5points)

A)Range=43
B) Median= 23
C) The range of data that contains 68%:
First find sample standard deviation from Megastat output = (+ or 14)
Then find the mean from Megastat output= 30.83
Calculate mean-standard deviation = (30.83-14.00)= 16.83
Calculate mean + standard deviation= (30.83 + 14.00)= 44.83
The range is 16.83 to 44.83
D) The range of data that would contain 95% of the results.
Mutliply 2 times the standard deviaton= 2 X 14.00= 28.00
Calculate mean + mutltiplied standard deviation= 30.83 + 28.00= 58.83
Calculate mean- multiplied standard deviation = 30.83 28.00= 2.83
The range is 58.83 to 2.83
E) Mode= 23
Notes: 68% is equal to +/- 1 standard deviation
95% is equal to +/- 2 standard deviation
99% is equal to +/- 3 standard deviation
4. (TCO C and D) Tesla Motors needs to buy axles for their new car. They are considering using Chris
Cross Manufacturing as a vendor. Teslas requirement is that 95% of the axles are 100 cm 2 cm. The
following data is MegaStat output from a test run from Chris Cross Manufacturing. Should Tesla select
them as a vendor? Explain your answer.

5. (TCO D) General Elcetric claims that no more than 2% of their light bulbs are defective. In a random
sample of 100 lightbulbs, it is found that 5% are defective. GE claims this is a fluke of the sample. At a .
01 level of significance, test the manufactures claim, and explain your answer.

Answer:
H0 > .02
H1< .02
Note: Level of significance is equal to the alpha. In this example .01
The p value (.0161) is more than alpha .01, so we cannot reject the null (H0)
