A movie critic claims the mean run time for movies in theaters is 100 minutes. Researchers are trying to prove that the mean run time is actually longer than that though (Ha : µ > 100). In a random sample of 16 movies, the mean run time was found to be 105 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 12 minutes. Assume the population is normally distributed. At α = 0.05, is there enough evidence to reject the movie critic’s...

A local pizza place claims that they average a delivery time of 7.32 minutes. To test this claim, you order 11 pizzas over the next month at random times on random days of the week. You calculate the average delivery time and sample standard deviation from the 11 delivery times (minutes), and with the sample mean and sample standard deviation of the time (minutes), you create a 95% confidence interval of (7.648, 9.992). (delivery time is normally distributed) a. What...
