The average work week for engineers in a start-up company is believed to be about 60 hours. A newly hired engineer hopes that it's shorter. She asks 10 engineering friends in start-ups for the lengths of their average work weeks. Based on the results that follow, should she count on the average work week to be shorter than 60 hours? Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level.

Data (length of average work week): 70; 45; 55; 60; 65; 60; 60; 60; 55; 55.


Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean. Sketch the graph of the situation. Label the point estimate and the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval. (Round your lower and upper bounds to two decimal places.)

I already know that the point estimate is 58.50 for sure. I already got that right.

No matter how I calculate it, I cannot get the intervals, I asked a question like this previously here, I got a reply, but the answer was wrong.

I need to know how to do it on a TI 84 plus

Answer #1

We have to find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean by using TI 84 calculator.

First, enter data into the calculator.

Click on STAT ------> Edit -------->Enter values into L1

Then click on STAT -------> TESTS --------->TInterval( ----------> Data --------->

List: L1

Freq: 1

C-Level: 0.95

Calculate

We get a confidence interval (53.716, 63.284)

At a large company, the Director of Research found that the average work time lost by employees due to accidents was 94 hours per year. She used a random sample of 20 employees. The standard deviation of the sample was 5.9 hours. Estimate the population mean for the number of hours lost due to accidents for the company, using a 95% confidence interval. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Round intermediate answers to at least three decimal places. Round your...

The mean number of sick days an employee takes per year is believed to be about 10. Members of a personnel department do not believe this figure. They randomly survey 8 employees. The number of sick days they took for the past year are as follows: 12; 5; 13; 4; 11; 9; 8; 10. Let X = the number of sick days they took for the past year. Should the personnel team believe that the mean number is about 10?...

From generation to generation, the mean age when smokers first start to smoke varies. However, the standard deviation of that age remains constant at around 2.1 years. A survey of 39 smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean starting age is at least 19. The sample mean was 18.1 with a sample standard deviation of 1.3. Do the data support the claim at the 5% level? 1. State the distribution to use for the test. (Round...
