It takes an average of 10 minutes for blood to begin clotting after an injury. An EMT wants to see if the average is longer if the patient is in a speeding ambulance. The EMT randomly selected 36 injured patients who were in a speeding ambulance and noticed that they averaged 10.6 minutes for their blood to begin clotting after their injury with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. What can be concluded at the 0.05 level of significance? H0: = 10 Ha: [response1]  Test statistic: [response2] p-Value = [response3] Decision: [response4] Conclusion: There [response5] sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that the population mean time for blood to begin to clot after an injury is [response6] than 10 minutes for patients who are in a speeding ambulance.

A recent survey showed that in a sample of 100 elementary school teachers, 15 were single. In a sample of 180 high school teachers, 36 were single. Is the proportion of elementary school teachers who were single less than the proportion of high school teachers who were single? Use α = 0.01.   H0:

A local hardware store claims that the mean waiting time in line is less than 3.5 minutes. A random sample of 20 customers has a mean of 3.2 minutes with a standard deviation of 0.8 minute. If α = 0.10, test the store’s claim. H0: = 3.5 Ha: [response1]  Test statistic: [response2] p-Value = [response3]              Decision: [response4] Conclusion: There [response5] sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that the mean waiting time at this hardware store is [response6] than 3.5 minutes.

A recent study claimed that 15% of junior high students are overweight. In a sample of 160 students, 18 were found to be overweight. At α = 0.05, decide if this sample gives evidence that the proportion of overweight junior high students is actually different from 15%. H0: p [response0] 0.15 Ha: p [response1]  Test statistic: [response2] p-Value = [response3] Decision: [response4] Conclusion: There [response5] sufficient evidence to support the conclusion that the percentage of junior high students is [response6] than 15%.
