Math
StatisticsYou are the manager of an assembly line with machines that fill bags of trail mix. The machines are known to overfill bags 3% of the time. You think one machine is overfilling bags more often than that. A random sample of 65 bags filled by that machine reveals that 4 of the bags are overfilled. After performing a significance test at a significance level of α = 0.05, You calculate a p-value of 0.06811. Make a strategic decision based on this result.
Allow the machine to continue operating as it is.
Adjust the other machines to match the overfilling rate.
Change the size of the bags used for the trail mix for this machine.
Pause this machine's operation until it can be adjusted.

StatisticsAn aquarium reports that guests' mean visit time is 134 minutes. Benjamin, a dolphin trainer at the aquarium, believes the mean visit time is not accurate for guests who visited in the past week. Benjamin randomly surveys guests who visited the aquarium in the past week and receives 28 responses. He calculates a sample mean of 137 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Conduct a significance test using a significance level of α = 0.01 for the mean and make a conclusion.
4.536 > 2.771; Benjamin rejects the null hypothesis. The data suggests that the mean time for guests is mot 134 minutes over the past week.
4.454 > 2.771; Benjamin rejects the pull hypothesis. The data suggests that the mean time for guests is not 134 minutes over the past week.
-4.454 <-2.771; Benjamin fails to reject the null hypothesis. The data suggests that the mean time for guests is 134 minutes over the past week.
-4.536 <-2.771; Benjamin fails to reject the null hypothesis. The data suggests that the mean time for guests is 134 minutes over the past week.
