The average length of a certain species of butterfly is believed to be 0.75 inches. a researcher believes that actually the average length should be higher than what is believed. to test the hypothesis h 0: μ = 0.75 against h a: μ > 0.75, the researcher takes a sample of 36 butterflies and found that the mean from the sample is 0.65 inches and the sample standard deviation s=1.99 inches. what test should you use for this test? a. t-testb. z-test

a. T-test

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts and data given

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=0.65$ represent the sample mean

s=1.99 represent the sample standard deviation

n=36 represent the sample selected

$\alpha$ significance level

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 0.75 inches, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 0.75$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu 0.75$

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{0.65-0.75}{\frac{1.99}{\sqrt{36}}}=-0.3015$

We can also calculate the p value given by:

p_v =P(z-0.3015)=0.618

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, the true mean is not significantly higher than 0.75.

When booking personal travel by air, one is always interested in actually arriving at one’s final destination even if that arrival is a bit late. the key variables we can typically try to control are the number of flight connections we have to make in route, and the amount of layover time we allow in those airports whenever we must make a connection. the key variables we have less control over are whether any particular flight will arrive at its destination late and, if late, how many minutes late it will be. for this assignment, the following necessarily-simplified assumptions describe our system of interest: the number of connections in route is a random variable with a poisson distribution, with an expected value of 1. the number of minutes of layover time allowed for each connection is based on a random variable with a poisson distribution (expected value 2) such that the allowed layover time is 15*(x+1). the probability that any particular flight segment will arrive late is a binomial distribution, with the probability of being late of 50%. if a flight arrives late, the number of minutes it is late is based on a random variable with an exponential distribution (lamda = .45) such that the minutes late (always rounded up to 10-minute values) is 10*(x+1). what is the probability of arriving at one’s final destination without having missed a connection? use excel.
