2.A company manufactures car batteries with an average life span of 2 or more years. An engineer believes this value to be less. Using 10 samples, he measures the average life span to be 1.8years with a standard deviation of 0.15. At a 99% confidence level, is there enough evidence to discard the null hypothesis

The effectiveness of a blood-pressure drug is being investigated. An experimenter finds that, on average, the reduction in systolic blood pressure is 46 for a sample of size 13 and standard deviation 20.Estimate how much the drug will lower a typical patient's systolic blood pressure (using a 80% confidence level).
A random sample of 46 adult coyotes from Northern Minnesota showed the average age to be sample mean of 2.05 years. The population standard deviation is known to be o = 1.13 years. However, it is thought that the average age of coyotes is u = 1.75 years. Test to see if the coyotes in Northern Minnesota live longer than the national average of 1.75 years. Use 0.03 level of significance. What are the hypotheses? A: Ho µ= 1.75 years vs HA µ> 1.75 years B: Ho µ= 1.75 years vs HA H 2.05 years D: Ho µ = 2.05 years vs HA u< 2.05 years O A D O O
A manufacturing company wants to create a warranty for their product, but wants to ensure that they do not have to replace more than 12% of their products. They found that the lifetime of the product is normally distributed with a mean of 3.8 years and a standard deviation of 5 months. What should they use for a warranty?
Suppose the mean height of women age 20 years or older in a certain country is 62.2 inches. One hundred randomly selected women in a certain city had a mean height of 61.7 inches. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean height of women in the city differs from the national mean? Assume that the population standard deviation of the heights of women in the city is 3.9 inches. Set up the hypotheses for the one-mean z-test. H0: μ (≠, >, <, =) ________ppmHa: μ (≠, >, <, =) _________ppm Compute the value of the test statistic.z=__________(Round to two decimal places as needed.) Determine the critical value(s). Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box within your choice. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) A. The critical value is zα=____________ B.

A sample of 10 from population 1 has a mean of 32 and a standard deviation of 6. A sample of 13 from population 2 has a mean of 48 and a standard deviation of 8. The population standard deviations are unknown but assumed to be equal. Test the hypothesis, at the 1% level of significance, that the population means are the same. State your conclusion as a sentence and include the test statistic and the critical value.
A manufacturing firm produces car batteries with an average life span of 4 or more years. An engineer believes this value to be less. Using 29 samples, he measures the average life span to be 1.9 years with a standard deviation of .18 Required; (a) State the statistical null and alternative hypothesis (b) At 99% confidence level, is there enough evidence to discard the null hypothesis?
A sample of 100 commuters in Boston indicated that they commute an average of ninety per day. The standard deviation of the sample was 36 minutes. Determine the standard error of the mean. With a 0.95 probability, what is the margin of error? What is the 95% confidence interval of the population mean?
Tesla claims that it’s latest battery will take only 1 hour to recharge and the battery will last more than double the time of a normal battery. On average, their battery lasts for 70 months. A research group wanted to test that claim. They took a sample of 50 batteries and they found that on average a Tesla battery would last 67 months with a standard deviation of 3.5 months. Using a 3% significance level can you conclude that the mean life of all the Tesla batteries is less than 70 months. (Use the P values approach)
An electronics production sequence includes a process where a film of metal is deposited on a board. The film must be more than 1.000 mm thick. If the film is too thin the process fails. The engineer ran a test where the null hypothesis was that the mean thickness was at most 1.000 mm. A sample of 100 boards had a mean thickness of 1.007 mm and a standard deviation of 0.050 mm.At what level of significance would the null hypothesis be rejected? Express your answer at a decimal (not a percent) rounded to three places.
A researcher selected a sample of 156 former student leaders from a list of graduates of a large university. She discovered that it had taken an average of 4.97 years for the graduates to finish their degrees, with a standard deviation of 1.23. The average for the entire student body is 4.56 years. Is the difference statistically significant? Alpha = 0.05; two-tailed test.
A marine biologist claims that a harbor seal's average dive time is at least 5.8 minutes. A random sample of 35 dive durations has a mean of 4.9 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.8 minutes. Is there enough evidence to reject the claim at a = 0.01?
