### Statistical Hypothesis Testing Example#### Problem StatementA local sandwich shop claims to put 6 ounces of meat on each sandwich they make. You take a random sample of 19 sandwiches and find that the average amount of meat is 5.6 ounces, with a sample standard deviation of 1.3 ounces. Can we say that the amount of meat on the sandwiches is significantly lower than the shop's claim? (Use α = .10)#### Required Information:- **Type of Test:** - **Null Hypothesis (H₀):**- **Alternate Hypothesis (H₁):**- **Standard Error (SE):**- **Test Statistic:**- **P-value:**- **Decision:**- **Conclusion Sentence:**### ExplanationTo determine whether the sandwich shop's claim is valid or the amount of meat is significantly lower, we will conduct a hypothesis test. Here is the step-by-step process:1. **Type of Test:** We will use a one-sample t-test because the sample size is small (n < 30), and we do not know the population standard deviation.2. **Null Hypothesis (H₀):** The null hypothesis states that the true mean amount of meat is 6 ounces. \[ H₀: \mu = 6 \]3. **Alternate Hypothesis (H₁):** The alternate hypothesis states that the true mean amount of meat is less than 6 ounces. \[ H₁: \mu < 6 \]4. **Standard Error (SE):** The standard error of the mean can be calculated using the formula: \[ SE = \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} \] where \( s \) is the sample standard deviation and \( n \) is the sample size. \[ SE = \frac{1.3}{\sqrt{19}} \]5. **Test Statistic:** The test statistic for a one-sample t-test is calculated as: \[ t = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{SE} \] where \( \bar{x} \) is the sample mean. \[ t = \frac{5.6 - 6}{SE} \]6. **P-value:** Using the t-distribution table (or a statistical software), we compare the calculated t

Many people believe that the average number of Facebook friends is 135. The population standard deviation is 38.3. A random sample of 34 high school students in a particular county revealed that the average number of Facebook friends was 164. At a=0.10, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the %3D mean number of friends is greater than 135? Part: 0/5 Part 1 of 5 State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis. (Choose one) ▼ O
When you purchased your car, the dealer told you that your average gas mileage on your car was 30mpg, but you suspect that is might be lower than that. You conduct a sample over 30 days, and find that your sample average is only 28 mpg, with a standard deviation of 8.2 mpg. You conduct a hypothesis test, and find a P-value of 9.6%. What are your conclusions? Use an a level of 5% O Reject H, and accept H4. You have strong evidence that your car does get less than 28 mpg, on average. O Accept H.. You have strong evidence that your car gets 28 mpg, on average. O Reject H4. You have strong evidence that your car gets more than 28 mpg, on average. O Fail to reject Ho. You do not have strong evidence that your car gets less than 28 mpg, on average.

The average American consumes 86 liters of alcohol per year. Does the average college student consume more alcohol per year? A researcher surveyed 11 randomly selected college students and found that they averaged 95.8 liters of alcohol consumed per year with a standard deviation of 20 liters. What can be concluded at the the a = 0.05 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use t-test for a population mean O b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: μ = H₁: μ > O 86 O 86 c. The test statistic (t) = d. The p-value = e. The p-value is ? a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... 1.625 (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Sample data: For 272 healthy adults, the mean systolic blood pressure level is 120.59 mm Hg and the standard deviation is 15.61 mm Hg.

State the null and alternative hypotheses. John, a restaurant owner, suspects that prices of tomatoes in Bury are higher than the rest of Manchester. He finds that the city average price of a certain type of premium tomatoes is £20.9 with standard deviation £0.95. He takes a sample of this type of tomato from 5 local Bury stores and obtains an average price of £22.46.
How Big Are Gribbles? Gribbles are small, pale white, marine worms that bore through wood. While sometimes considered a pest since they can wreck wooden docks and piers, they are now being studied to determine whether the enzyme they secrete will allow us to turn inedible wood and plant waste into biofuel.24 A sample of 50 gribbles finds an average length of 3.1 mm with a standard deviation of 0.72. Give a best estimate for the mean length of gribbles, a margin of error for this esti- mate (with 95% confidence), and a 95% confidence interval. Interpret the confidence interval in con text. What do we have to assume about the sample in order to have confidence in our estimate? 1. Find the t-score for this confidence interval. Enter the positive t-score. 2. Find the standard error round answer 4 decimal places. 3. Find the margin of error. Round 4 decimal places.

Among private universities in the United States, the mean ratio of students to professors is 35.2 (i.e., 35.2 students for each professor) with a standard deviation of 8.8. Suppose a random sample of 50 universities is selected and the observed mean student-to-professor ratio is 38. Is there evidence that the reported mean ratio actually exceeds 35.2? Use  = 0.05 and conduct the appropriate hypothesis test. ( See attached picture )
