8. Let x be a random variable that represents the hemoglobin count (HC) in human blood (measured in grams per milliliter). In healthy adult females, x has an approximately normal distribution with a population mean of µ =14.2, and population standard deviation of o = 2.5. Suppose a female patient had 10 blood tests over the past year, and the sample mean HC was determined to be = 15.1. With a level of significance a = .05 determine whether he patient's HC is higher than the population average.

To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 43 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.6 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 46 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.5 feet. At α=0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. The critical value(s) is/are Find the standardized test statistic z for μ1−μ2.
A researcher speculates that because of differences in diet, Japanese children have a lower mean blood cholesterol level than U.S. children do. Suppose that the mean level for U.S. children is known to be 165. Let μ represent the true mean blood cholesterol level for Japanese children. What hypotheses should the researcher test? Ho: μ = 165 versus H₂: μ> 165 a O Ho: μ = 165 versus H₂: μ 165 O Ho: μ = 165 versus H: μ > 155
The boiling point of 16 samples of a certain brand of hydrogenated vegetable oil used in a fryer was collected, resulting in Xbar=152.1 degrees. Assume that the distribution of melting point is normal with o=3.20. If the boiling point is different than 150 degrees, then either the oil will be too hot and will burn food or it will be too cool and will not properly cook the food. Is the sample mean significantly different from the target of 150 degrees? Use alpha=0.01 Но: H1: Define critical (rejection) region(s): Calculate the appropriate test statistic: What decision do we make? What this decision means in terms of this problem?
2. Suppose the chamber of commerce at Pyramid Lake advertises that the average length of trout caught at the lake is μ = 19 inches. However, a fishing magazine survey reported that for a random sample of 51 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.5 inches with estimated standard deviation s = 3.2 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of the trout caught at Pyramid Lake is less than μ = 10 inches? (Use α = 0.05)
The average height X and weight Y of males in population have a bivariate normal distribution with means µX 1.80 m., µy 90.0 kgs and standard deviations Ox = 0.30 m., oy = 15.3 kgs respectively. The correlation coefficient between X and Y is p= 0.80.
Total fat content (including saturated fat and trans fats) is a key characteristic of cheese. Assume that for a given type of cheese, total fat content (10-1 g/g of cheese) follows a normal distribution with a population mean of 2.85 (unit) and a population variance of 0.01 (unit2). Such an assumption is reasonable because fat content varies inside cheese and the “errors” around the mean total fat content (i.e. the value appearing on the etiquette) are distributed like a bell shape. a) What is the probability that the total fat content of this cheese exceeds 3 (unit)? b) What is the probability that the total fat content varies from 2.8 to 3 (unit)?
Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 4.6 parts/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is at an excess level. The mean of 14 samples is 4.9 ppm with a variance of 1.2 Does the data support the claim at the 0.01 level? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 2 of 5 : Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.

A sample of five cans of standard grade tomatoes in puree was taken at random from a production line immediately after filling, and the solid content of each can was weighed. The company desires to test whether the average weight per can is at the specified level of 22 ounces. Past experience indicates that the distribution of the weights per can is approximately normal. The α risk for the test is to be controlled at .01. For the sample, the mean weight was ?̅ =23.9 and the sample standard deviation was s = 0.822 a. State the null and alternative hypotheses. b. Determine the rejection region – indicate how you did this; don’t just give the answer. c. Compute the test statistic – indicate what formula was used. d. What is your conclusion and why?
