The article "uncertainty estimation in railway track life-cycle cost"† presented the following data on time to repair (min) a rail break in the high rail on a curved track of a certain railway line.

159 120 480 149 270 547 340 43 228 202 240 218

a normal probability plot of the data shows a reasonably linear pattern, so it is plausible that the population distribution of repair time is at least approximately normal. the sample mean and standard deviation are 249.7 and 145.1, respectively.

(a) is there compelling evidence for concluding that true average repair time exceeds 200 min? carry out a test of hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05.
state the appropriate hypotheses.

h0: μ > 200
ha: μ = 200h0: μ = 200
ha: μ < 200 h0: μ = 200
ha: μ > 200h0: μ < 200
ha: μ = 200h0: μ = 200
ha: μ ≠ 200

calculate the test statistic and determine the p-value. (round your test statistic to two decimal places and your p-value to four decimal places.)

t =
p-value =

what can you conclude?

there is compelling evidence that the true average repair time exceeds 200 min. there is not compelling evidence that the true average repair time exceeds 200 min.

(b) using

σ = 150,

what is the type ii error probability of the test used in (a) when true average repair time is actually 300 min? that is, what is β(300)? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
β(300) =

Which of the following is likely not a benefit of requiring a grand jury to listen to and examine all of the evidence against a person suspected of committing a serious crime and then independently deciding whether or not to hand down an indictment? 1.the grand jury system provides the accused another safeguard against being sent to trial and facing conviction based on flawed evidence. 2.the members of the grand jury are drawn from the community and are empowered to render independent decisions about whether or not the government has collected enough evidence to bring an individual to trial. 3.the grand jury’s decision can provide prosecutors insight into what is necessary to build a sufficient case if a similar crime is presented later. 4.the grand jury is impaneled to rubber-stamp prosecutors’ cases, which makes it possible for more cases to reach trial.
