The calibration of a scale is to be checked by weighing a 10-kg test specimen 25 times. Suppose that the results of different weighings are independent of one another and that the weight on each trial is normally distributed with = 0.2 kg. Let μ denote the true average weight reading on the scale. (a) What hypotheses should be tested? (b) What is the p-value when = 9.85? What would you conclude at significance level a = 0.01?
6). A random sample of 90 observations produced a mean of x¯=21 from a population with a normal distribution and a standard deviation σ=4.1.
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. The following results are for independent random samples taken from two populations.

1. A study compared the number of tree species in unlogged forest plots to similar plots logged 8 years earlier. Independent random samples of both logged and unlogged plots were analyzed and the number of tree species was recorded. Tables 1 and 2 present the Shapiro-Wilk normality test for both types of forest plots and the Independent Samples t-test results.

In the year 2033, Sarai Patterson is a leading traveling nurse. Sarai is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Sarai takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using α = 0.05, answer the following questions. a) What is the setup for your null and alternative hypothesis? b) What is the value of the test statistic? c) What is/are the critical value(s)?
We prefer the procedures to the z procedures for inference about a population mean beca (a) can be used only for large samples. (b) z requires that you know the population standard deviation (c) z requires that you can regard your data as an SRS from the population of interest. (d) z requires that your population be Normally distributed. (e) z requires that your observations be independent.
