<title>Problem 1171395 solved by CPhill</title>
<link>http://www.algebra.com/cgi-bin/jump-to-question.mpl?question=1171395</link>
<description>This problem was solved by CPhill:
""Untitled," by Stephen Chen
I've often wondered how software is released and sold to the public. Ironically, I work for a company that sells products with known problems. Unfortunately, most of the problems are difficult to create, which makes them difficult to fix. I usually use the test program X, which tests the product, to try to create a specific problem. When the test program is run to make an error occur, the likelihood of generating an error is 1%.
So, armed with this knowledge, I wrote a new test program Y that will generate the same error that test program X creates, but more often. To find out if my test program is better than the original, so that I can convince the management that I'm right, I ran my test program to find out how often I can generate the same error. When I ran my test program 50 times, I generated the error twice. While this may not seem much better, I think that I can convince the management to use my test program instead of the original test program. Am I right?
Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level.
Note: If you are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)"
I need help stating the distribution to use for the test. (I must round my answers to four decimal places.)

<description>This problem was solved by josgarithmetic:
Hi
Town P and town Q are 720km apart.Maggie & Andrew left town P at the same time. The average speed of Andrew was 40km per hour, Maggies was 60km per hour. As soon as they passed Point K which was 1/3 of the total distance,Maggie began to travel at a speed of 80km per hour. Both of them took the same number of hours to travel from town P to town Q.
How long did Maggie take to travel from town P to Point K.
What was Andrews speed from Point K to town Q.
Thanks</description>

<description>This problem was solved by CPhill:
A researched wants to study the attitudes of college students towards credit cards. She plants to randomly select a sample of n students and give each a survey. She would like to have at least 50 students in the sample who regularly use credit cards. If 25% of all college students regularly use credit cards, estimate the minimum size of n so that the sample will contain 50 students who regularly use credit cards with a probability of at least 0.95.
I know this is a binomial approximation but I am not sure how to set this up.</description>

<description>This problem was solved by CPhill:
"The mean number of English courses taken in a two-year time period by male and female college students is believed to be about the same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 29 males and 16 females. The males took an average of four English courses with a standard deviation of 0.7. The females took an average of five English courses with a standard deviation of 1.1. Are the means statistically the same? (Use = 0.05)
NOTE: If we are using a Student's t-distribution for the problem, including for paired data, we may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, we must first prove that assumption, though.)"
I need help stating the distribution to use for the test (I have to enter my answer in the form z or tdf, where df is the degrees of freedom. I need to round my answer to two decimal places as well)</description>
