has caused this percentage to increase. In a more recent study, of a random sample of 500
freshmen, 185 had at least one A in their first semester. Calculate the p-value associated with the
test statistic and test the claim at α = .05.

P-value = 0.0287

Conclusion: There is evidence to conclude that the percentage has risen.

p-value =.0287 < .05 Thus, we can reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative

randomly selects 100 grocery orders each night and records their delivery times.

a) For the sake of argument, assume that the population of all delivery times on a given evening
is normally distributed with a mean of μ = 40 minutes and a standard deviation of σ = 4 minutes.
(That is, we assume that the delivery process is operating effectively.) Find the mean μ_X¯¯¯¯

and the standard deviation σ_X¯¯¯¯

of the population of all possible sample means,

b) Using the empirical rule studied in class, Calculate an interval of time that will contain 95.44
percent of all possible sample means.

c) Suppose that the mean of the 100 sampled grocery delivery times on a particular evening is
X¯¯¯¯
= 35 minutes. Using the interval that you calculated in question (b), What would you conclude
about whether SAFEER Mall's delivery process is operating effectively? explain Why?

d) Based on your conclusion, what would you recommend/propose to Safeer Mall Management
in this case?

Feedback

MARKS: 2+2+3+3 = 10 marks

a)

μ_X¯¯¯¯

= 40 and σ_ X¯¯¯¯

=6/sqrt(5)= 0.4

b) This corresponds to the 3 \sigma interval on \mu, therefore we have

[40 - 2*0.4 ; 45 + 2*0.4] which is equal to [ 39.2 ; 40.8]

c) If a sample of size 100 gives an average delivery time of 35 minutes, which is outside (more
specifically below) the 2 sigma interval of [ 39.2 ; 40.8], we can conclude that the process is not
under control ( to say it is not operating properly).

d) In this case, since the outcome is below the lower bound of the process control interval, it is
better than anticipated, therefore we can recommend to SAFEER mall Management to find out
the reasons behind this unexpected better delivery time, and incorporate them in standard
management practices for continuity.

Most college career counselors agree that starting salary is associated with academic major. Even if a person's
first job is not related directly to his course of study, his salary may still be related to his academic major. A recent
survey of academic major and starting salary of graduates showed the following information:
Major Mean Standard deviation
English $38,100 $3,600
Computer Science $57,690 $5,870
1) Calculate the coefficient of variation, and determine which of the two majors varies more around the mean
salary? Show all your working answers.
2) If you know that a computer science major who responded to the survey received a starting salary of
$64,000, find the z score of this salary. What is your interpretation of this z-score value?
