Question 25

Jennifer Cantu, VP of Customer Services at Tri-City Auto Insurance Inc., monitors the claims processing time of the claims division. Her standard includes "a mean processing time of 5 days or less."

Question 26

An article in the Edmonton Journal about driving practices in Strathcona County, claimed that 48% of drivers did $\textbf{ not }$ stop at stop-sign intersections on county roads. A follow-up study of 800 drivers on the county roads showed that 360 did $\textbf{ not }$ stop at stop-sign intersections. At $\alpha$ = 0.05 , is there evidence to suugest that the proportion of drivers $\textbf{ not }$ stopping at stop-sign intersections has changed using the p value approach.

Question 28

In performing a hypothesis test where the null hypothesis is that the population mean is 6.9 against the alternative hypothesis that the population mean is $\textbf{ not }$ equal to 6.9, a random sample of 16 items is selected. The sample mean is 7.1 and the sample standard deviation is 2.4. It can be assumed that the population is normally distributed. The level of significance is selected as 0.05.
