Alpha Airline claims that only 15% of its flights arrive more than 10 minutes late. Let p be the proportion of all of Alpha’s flights that arrive more than 10 minutes late. Consider the hypothesis test
H0 :p≤0.15 versus H1 :p>0.15.
Suppose we take a random sample of 50 flights by Alpha Airline and agree to reject H0 if 9 or more of them arrive late. Find the significance level for this test.

According to the Transportation Bureau, 22% of flights in the U.S. failed to arrive on time (more than 15 minutes late) in 2009. A recent random sample of 800 flights is taken and 184 of them failed to arrive on time. Test at the 0.01 level of significance whether the current percentage of U.S. flights that arrive late exceeds 22%. (a) State the null and alternative hypotheses.

An airline claims that its flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most 11 minutes. It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than 92 minutes. Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for his next 25 flights. The average delay for those 25 flights is 23 minutes with a standard deviation of 17 minutes. Assume α = 0.05. Is the traveler disputing...

A simple random sample of 100 flights Airline 1 showed that 64 were on time. A simple random sample of 100 flights of Airline 2 showed that 80 were on time. Let p1 and p2 be the proportions of all flights that are were time for these two airlines. Is there evidence of a difference in the on-time rate for the two airlines? To determine this, test the hypotheses H0: p1 = p2 versus Ha: p1 ≠ p2 at a...

Question A local pizza parlor advertises that 80% of its deliveries arrive within 30 minutes of being ordered. A local resident is skeptical of the claim and decides to investigate. From a random sample of 50 of the parlor’s deliveries, he finds that 14 take longer than 30 minutes to arrive. At the 10% level of significance, does the resident have evidence to conclude that the parlor’s claim is false? Identify the appropriate hypotheses, test statistic, p-value, and conclusion for...
