6. La Leche League International reports that the mean age of weaning a child from breastfeeding is age four to five worldwide. In America, most nursing mothers wean their children much earlier. Suppose a random survey is conducted of 21 U.S. mothers who recently weaned their children. The mean weaning age was nine months (3/4 year) with a standard deviation of 4 months. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean weaning age in the U.S. is less than four years old.

1. The fuel efficiency of a new model pick-up truck (truck) is measured in miles per gallon (mpg). A company claims that their new truck gets 25 mpg on average. A consumer group thinks the company is lying and claims that the mean mileage for all the trucks is less than 25 mpg. In a random sample, of forty-five of these trucks the mean mpg was 23.3 mpg with a standard deviation of 5.1 mpg. a. Conduct a hypothesis test to test the consumer group's claim at the 5% significance level. Be sure to state you Ho and Ha, your test statistic and p- value, whether or not you reject Ho and whether you support the claim. b. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type I error is in context. c. Write a complete sentence describing what a Type II error is in context.
An article by Erin El Issa titled "2015 American household credit card debt study" (www.nerdwallet.com) indicated that for households that had credit card debt, the average debt in 2015 was $15,355.

Fuel efficiency of Prius: Fueleconomy.gov, the official US government source for fuel economy information, allows users to share gas mileage information on their vehicles. The histogram below shows the distribution of gas mileage in miles per gallon (MPG) from 14 users who drive a 2012 Toyota Prius. The sample mean is 53.3 MPG and the standard deviation is 5.2 MPG. Note that these data are user estimates and since the source data cannot be verified, the accuracy of these estimates are not guaranteed. (a) The EPA claims that a 2012 Prius gets 50 MPG (city and highway mileage combined). Do these data provide strong evidence against this estimate for drivers who participate on fueleconomy.gov? The test statistic is: __________________(please round to two decimal places)The p-value:___________________________ for this hypothesis test is: (please round to four decimal places)(c) Please comment on the primary thing that is wrong about the following statement: There is sufficient evidence…
