Q:
As a step in establishing its rates, an automobile insurance company is interested in determining whether there is a difference in the mean highway speeds that drivers of different age groups drive. To help answer this question, it has selected a random sample of drivers in three age categories: under 21, 21-50, and over 50. The engineers then recorded the drivers' speeds at a designated point on a highway in the state. The subjects were unaware that their speed was being recorded. The following one-way ANOVA output was generated from the sample data. Based upon this output, if the significance level is 0.05, the engineers should conclude that the mean speeds may all be equal since the p-value is less than alpha.

Q:
A study was recently conducted to see whether the mean starting salaries for graduates of engineering, business, healthcare, and computer information systems majors differ. A random sample of 8 graduates was selected from each major. The following chart shows some of the results of the ANOVA computations; however, some of the output is missing. Given what is available, the proper conclusion to reach based on the sample data is that the population means could be equal using a 0.05 level of significance.

Q:
A PC company uses two suppliers for rechargeable batteries for its notebook computers. Two factors are important quality features of the batteries: mean use time and variation. It is desirable that the mean use time be high and the variability be low. Recently, the PC maker conducted a test on batteries from the two suppliers. In the test, 9 randomly selected batteries from Supplier 1 were tested and 12 randomly selected batteries from Supplier 2 were tested. The following results were observed:Supplier 1 Supplier 2n1 = 9 n2 = 121 = 67.25 min 2 = 72.4 mins1 = 11.2 min s2 = 9.9 minBased on these sample results, can the PC maker conclude that a difference exists between the two batteries with respect to the population mean use time? Test using a 0.10 level of significance.

D) The alternative hypothesis must contain the equality.
Q:
The Russet Potato Company has been working on the development of a new potato seed that is hoped to be an improvement over the existing seed that is being used. Specifically, the company hopes that the new seed will result in less variability in individual potato length than the existing seed without reducing the mean length. To test whether this is the case, a sample of each seed is used to grow potatoes to maturity. The following information is given: Old Seed
New Seed Number of Seeds = 11
Number of Seeds = 16 Average length = 6.25 inches
Average length = 5.95 inches Standard Deviation = 1.0 inches
Standard Deviation = 0.80 inches The on these data, if the hypothesis test is conducted using a 0.05 level of significance, the calculated test statistic is:
A) = 1.25
B) = 0.80
C) = 0.64
D) = 1.56
