Complete the problems below from the textbook. You will need to use the “Lincolnville School District Bus Data” file for this assignment.
- Chapter 12 – Problem 51
Refer to the Lincolnville School District bus data.
a. Conduct a test of hypothesis to reveal whether the mean maintenance cost is equal
for each of the bus manufacturers. Use the .01 significance level.
b. Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine whether the mean miles traveled since the
last maintenance is equal for each bus manufacturer. Use the .05 significance level.
- Chapter 15 – Problem 57
- Please refer attachment
- Chapter 15 – Problem 64
- Refer to the Lincolnwood School District bus data.
- a. Suppose we consider a bus “old” if it has been in service more than 8 years. At the
- .01 significance level, can we conclude that less than 40% of the district’s buses are
- old? Report the p-value.
- b. Find the median maintenance cost and the median age of the buses. Organize the
- data into a two-by-two contingency table, with buses above and below the median of
- each variable. Determine whether the age of the bus is related to the amount of the
- maintenance cost. Use the .05 significance level.
- c. Is there a relationship between the maintenance cost and the manufacturer of the
- bus? Use the breakdown in part (b) for the buses above and below the median maintenance
- cost and the bus manufacturers to create a contingency table. Use the .05
- significance level.
