4. The "fun size" of a Snickers bar is supposed to weigh 20 grams. The manufacture calibrates the machine so that the mean is 20.1 grams. The quality-control engineer takes a random sample of 11 candy bars and finds the weights in grams are: 19.68, 19.98, 20.55, 21.50, 20.66, 20.65, 20.36, 19.74, 19.56, 19.61, 21.02 Suppose that the standard deviation of the weight of the candy was 0.75 grams before a machine recalibration. The engineer wants to know if the recalibration resulted in more consistent weights. Conduct the appropriate test at the alpha = 0.05 level of significance. To answer this, complete the following steps. (a) State the appropriate Null Hypothesis and Alternate Hypotheses (b) From the table of data, find the sample standard deviation. (c) Find the appropriate Test Statistic (d) Complete your analysis, finding and comparing any necessary values, and explain what your results determine about the hypothesis statements for this situation.

Suppose that the standard deviation of the weight of the candy was 0.75 grams before a machine
recalibration. The engineer wants to know if the recalibration resulted in more consistent weights.
Conduct the appropriate test at the alpha = 0.05 level of significance. To answer this, complete the
following steps.
(a) State the appropriate Null Hypothesis and Alternate Hypotheses
(b) From the table of data, find the sample standard deviation.

Students in a statistics class participated in a project in which they attempted to estimate the true mean height of all students in their large high school. The students were split into 4 groups. Each group had their own sampling method, and they used it to select a sample each day for 50 days. Below are the estimates based on their 50 samples: After the samples were collected and the means were plotted the teacher visited the school nurse who told her that the true mean height of all students in the school is 67.5 inches. Which group produced sample statistics that estimated the true value of the parameter with relatively low bias and low variability? (A) Group 1 (B) Group 2 (C) Group 3 (D) Group 4 (E) All groups produced statistics that have low bias and low variability because \bar{x}xˉ is an unbiased estimator of \muμ.
