4. Researchers working for a sports drink company would like to know if a new blend if its popular sports drink can help improve marathon runners' final running time. Marathon times, Y, are known to follow a Normal distribution. Suppose that runners using the old blend sports drink have a mean finishing time of 300 minutes (µ = 300 minutes). A random sample of 20 runners was selected to use the new blend of sports drink in a marathon, finishing with an average time of 270 minutes and a standard deviation of 20 minutes (y = 270 min, s = 20 min). Can it be claimed that the new blend lowers finishing times? COr is it possible that random chance alone can explain the discrepancy? Carry out a hypothesis test of the true mean u using the 4- step procedure. Set your alpha-level to 0.05. %3D c. Which test statistic and sampling distribution under the null should we use?

The work week for adults in the US that work full time is normally distributed with a mean of 47 hours. A newly hired engineer at a start-up company believes that employees at start-up companies work more on average then most working adults in the US. She asks 12 engineering friends at start-ups for the lengths in hours of their work week. Their responses are shown in the table below. Test the claim using a 5% level of significance.

7. In one state, the mean time served in prison by convicted burglars is 18.7 months. A researcher would like to perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the mean amount of time served by convicted burglars in her hometown is different from 18.7 months. She takes a random sample of 11 such cases from court files in her home town and finds that = 21.4 months and s = 7 months. Use a 5% significance level to perform the test. Assume normally distributed population. Perform critical-value (classical) test. Be sure to identify the null and alternate hypotheses and interpret your results. a) Hypotheses: b) Test statistic: c) Critical-value: d) Hypothesis test conclusion and interpretation:
