A recent study focused on the number of times men and women who live alone buy take-out dinner in a month. Assume that the distributions follow the normal probability distribution. The information is summarized below. |
| Statistic | Men | Women |
| Sample mean | 24.71 | 21.94 |
| Population standard deviation | 5.53 | 4.71 |
| Sample size | 36 | 41 |
|
At the .01 significance level, is there a difference in the mean number of times men and women order take-out dinners in a month? Hint: Consider the "Men" data as the first sample. |
| (a) | Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) |
| Value of the test statistic |
| (b) | What is your decision regarding on null hypothesis? |
| The decision is (Click to select)do not rejectreject the null hypothesis that the means are the same. |
| (c) | What is the p-value? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) |

Clark Heter is an industrial engineer at Lyons Products. He would like to determine whether there are more units produced on the night shift than on the day shift. A sample of 55 day-shift workers showed that the mean number of units produced was 342, with a population standard deviation of 26. A sample of 63 night-shift workers showed that the mean number of units produced was 349, with a population standard deviation of 32 units. |
| At the .10 significance level, is the number of units produced on the night shift larger? |

The decision rule is to reject H0:μd≥μnH0: μd≥μn if z < . (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) |
| (3) |
The test statistic is z = . (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) |
| (4) | What is your decision regarding H0H0? |
| (Click to select)Reject.Do not reject. |

A coffee manufacturer is interested in whether the mean daily consumption of regular-coffee drinkers is less than that of decaffeinated-coffee drinkers. Assume the population standard deviation for those drinking regular coffee is 1.39 cups per day and 1.55 cups per day for those drinking decaffeinated coffee. A random sample of 45 regular-coffee drinkers showed a mean of 4.59 cups per day. A sample of 39 decaffeinated-coffee drinkers showed a mean of 5.19 cups per day. |
